Earlier, Cubana Chief Priest had lamented the state of healthcare in Nigeria, describing it as a "joke."
He recounted his experience at a hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he waited over an hour without being attended to by a doctor.
He later visited another facility in Lekki, where he had to fill out an extensive online form before receiving treatment for typhoid and malaria. Frustrated by the situation, he announced plans to seek proper medical care abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom .
His comments have sparked a range of reactions online. Some Nigerians agree with his assessment of the healthcare system, while others criticize him for seeking treatment abroad instead of investing in local healthcare infrastructure.
One user questioned why he couldn't advise his political connections to improve healthcare services, while another pointed out that even in the UK, the National Health Service faces challenges .
In response to the backlash, Cubana Chief Priest has continued to assert his influence and defend his actions, maintaining that his experiences reflect broader issues within the country's healthcare system.
