Cursory: A Nigerian educationist is under fire for suggesting that UK’s health system is worse than that of Nigeria. He made this statement while explaining why he could not participate in the just-conducted presidential election. A lot of Nigerians took to the comment section to counter his claim.
UK-based Nigerian educationist, Dipo Awojide warns against demonising Nigeria while narrating his experience of waiting for up to 48 hours to get a doctor in the UK. The media personality took to Twitter to address his reasons for being mute during the 2023 elections which many expected input from him.
Clarifying his silence, Dipo Awojide revealed that he was sick and struggled to get a doctor to attend to his health needs in the UK.While discouraging demonising Nigeria, he wrote in a tweet:
“Was sick after my birthday dinner. Fell down in the toilet because I was so weak. I banged my nose and passed out. Had to be revived. This picture was taken 10 days after. Twitter mob was waiting for me to comment on Nigerian politics. While I was fighting for my health ????????.
“I couldn’t see a GP in 48 hours. I would have been able to see a Doctor in Nigeria within 12 hours. Stop demonising Nigeria ????????. Things can be better in Nigeria ???????? but we are dealing with a lot in the UK ???????? as well ????,” he added.

See reactions below:
@SheriffAkiode: Recently Took my dad to a primary health centre that’s less than 15minutes drive from our house. We were able to see doctors not just 1 but 2 within 30 minutes, carried out all the necessary test and needed treatment within 8 hours and everything cost us 19k..
@Dr_Softouch: Oh of course, you would have seen a doctor in Nigeria within 12 hours by leveraging your “connections” to skip the queue.Almost painted our health system like its better than UK????
@ose_okpamen: That you have money and privilege doesn’t mean everyone does. As a matter of fact there are more people who can’t afford to see a doctor in Lagos than those who can. Public health systems in Nigeria but esp Lagos is a humanitarian crisis. People die needlessly

Nigerians fume as young boy who was promised heaven and earth during presidential election is neglected
In what appears to be a disheartening turn of events, Nigerians are expressing their disappointment as the young election hero, whose viral video of chasing Peter Obi’s convoy captivated the nation, has allegedly been left empty-handed despite grand promises made during the presidential election campaign.
The incident has reignited debates over the credibility of campaign pledges and the treatment of citizens who actively participate in political processes.
During the presidential elections campaign, the young boy was promised a myriad of rewards ranging from scholarships abroad to substantial financial compensation.
These assurances were intended to recognize and appreciate his bold act of running after the convoy of Peter Obi, the former vice-presidential candidate, in a fervent display of support.
However, five months have elapsed since the general elections took place, and the promised rewards have failed to materialize, leaving the young election hero disillusioned and causing Nigerians to voice their grievances.
Social media platforms have been inundated with expressions of frustration, highlighting the broken trust between politicians and the electorate.
