If I became president of Nigeria, I would build $1 billion medical center in Abuja for my personal and public use...best in Africa. I'll rather die there than to shamelessly travel abroad for treatment...our leaders don't realize how shameful, stu$pid it's to travel for treatment!

knightsTempler:

Nigeria's 2016 budget - Health sector.
University of Benin Teaching Hospital - N212M.
Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital - N162M.
University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital - N218M.

****Aso Rock Medical Centre - N3.8billion***

Meanwhile the president jets out for London for ear treatment.

Welcome to Nigeria.

mekaboy:


How many times have UK or US doctors sent people down to Nigeria for further check up?

Vincent41:



The aso Rock Hospital Received the Highest Budget in the History of Nigeria,Yet the President Goes abroad for Mere ear Infection Treatment...
If Obama is ill he is Treated in USA
If Cameroun,Queen or Prince is ill,They are Trreated in England but When African Presidents are Ill they Travel to white Mans Land....Do u see Reasons why Trump said:Africans needs to be Recolonised for another 100Years!!!

mrvitalis:

...
2 It took PDP 16yrs to destroy Nigeria but it took APC just 1yr to massacre, dismantle kill and bury Nigeria.
...
3. It took PDP 16yrs to make fuel price N87 per litre but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per litre.
...
4. It took PDP 16yrs to make Nigeria corrupt but it took APC just 1yr to make Nigeria fantastically corrupt.

Patriotic Democrats.

Enough of this mockery on the medical profession. No doctor recommended Mr President to travel abroad to treat an ear infection, let alone a consultant ENT surgeon. Of all the lies government has been throwing at Nigerians, shey it's this one you choose to believe?
With my few years as a practicing doctor, I can manage and treat whatever ear infection (be it meniere's or whatever) with the resources available to me at the General Hospital where I work, how much more a consultant at a better equipped tertiary hospital.
Nigerians should resist being gullible and demand accountability

BBC is just being silly.

1. I think the President probably has some other health concerns . . . he is 73/74.

2. His personal physician is in London.

3. Doctors in Nigeria were said to have advised him for further follow up in the UK.

4. Reagan sought treatment in Germany; many North Americans and UK/EU citizens seek treatments in other countries (some form of treatments are not approved/yet developed in their respective countries).

ApexTitan:


Those are all lame reasons, the fact is that Buhari's actions are an indictment of the country's health sector.

Unless it can be shown or proven that what ails Buhari can only be treated with the know-how or expertise that is exclusively available in the UK then the duplicity in the talk of using Nigerian goods and services is revealed here all the more.

Why do people always look for ways to excuse our leaders of their own shortcomings?
