“May you not be sick in Nigeria” – Man mourns friend who allegedly died due to shortage of bed, lack of oxygen and ventilator at Nigerian hospitals

A Nigerian man identified on Facebook as Iwuala Nnamdi has lambasted his country’s health care system after his friend allegedly died due to a lack of oxygen, ventilator, and shortage of beds at the hospitals he was rushed to.

The embittered young man who believes his friend would have been alive today if Nigeria’s health care system was working, ended up saying prayers for his friends never to fall sick in the country.

In his words: “May Nigeria not happen to you, may you not be sick in Nigeria, only son gone.

“Always check your BP, truth be told you need to watch your health because as soon as you get very sick in Nigeria without discovering it early you have no chance.

“Rushed to FMC there is no bed, rushed to another hospital there is no oxygen, taken to Save a life, there is no life machine ( Ventilator) and he is referred back to FMC.

“And that is how Nigeria failed you Gidigba Obere Agu I am sorry brother, may you Rest In Peace because even we here in Nigeria we are not even in peace.

“Farewell my brother my friend, I pray your young wife bears this loss and take heart, till we all meet again wherever it is. My heart bleeds for you !! 😭 😭”
