A country so rich and blessed with natural wealth but so poor that the most common amenities like electricity, clean water and good roads in civilized countries are lacking.This is a picture of on an going surgery which is been completed by a touch light. Of course these doctors couldn't have started out with a lamp, power outage must have led to this horrible scene. The lamp must have been used to bridge the interface between the power cut and generator back-up.
This is the real situation we experience in Nigeria, as the power situation gets worse everyday, despite the billions of dollars embezzled spent to better the power sector in Nigeria. Shame on our leaders, it's more disappointing that this is a Federal Teaching Hospital.
When Doctors ask for some equipments and facilities, and then go on strike the public will ridicule them, saying they want to abandon the patients, forgetting that it's for the general good, and the people who suffer the repercussion the most are the masses. We all know our leaders will travel abroad to treat common cold.
Perhaps we now understand why Nigerian doctors are still on strike.
