In the course of his on-going visit to London for a meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investors’ Council, President Goodluck Jonathan became indisposed and could not be present at the opening of the meeting today. President Jonathan has since been examined by competent medical practitioners. He has been advised to rest for a few days.
The Presidency wishes to assure all Nigerians that President Jonathan’s condition is nothing serious and that the medical attention he has sought is only precautionary.

DeleteI pray he gets better soon.that said,he could gave had a private physician flown in.oit will be cheaper than flying xxxx number of hangers on that will def have gone with him talk less of their feeding n accommodation.this action further highlights our poor state of infrastructure otherwise,do we hear the Saudi government,American or Chinese going abroad for a "nothing serious" routine check as stated by Reuben abati.
Deletewhat a shame...you can't have a check up in your own country...crazy leaders!!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha,naa soo yaradua take go medical check up e no comback again ohh,
ReplyDeleteAnd u r laughing. God forgive u.
Deletewhy UK? whatever happened to our Nigerian hospitals
ReplyDeleteI hear u, Mr Abati, but if it is nothing serious, why not do the medical check in Nigeria? Why abroad? Oh! It escaped my mind that in Nigeria, our hospitals are not adequately equipped to cater for our Presidential medical checks.
ReplyDeleteNice to know that he trusts British Hospitals. President of a country? SMH
ReplyDeleteShame on this GEJ's Special Adviser, nothing serious and he (the president ) went to UK for medical spending ba. kitikpa!!! and Linda post this o.
ReplyDeleteLol. Why cant he undergo the freaky check up here in nigeria see our leader o hmmmSee Top Gospel Singer caught with Doing it with Her Director SHAME!![photos]

ReplyDeletedem no get hospital in nigeria mii for medical checkup ,nonsense and ingredients
ReplyDeletehmm
ReplyDeleteDo you know how disgraceful that is for a Nigerian president to seek medical attention in the UK! I was brought in the UK, I'm always shouting from the rooftop - proud to be Nigerian. Now this.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't something you should announce or be proud of.
I wish him well by God's special grace
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that he was truthful about it.However,it is hightime something is done about our health sector because,less than 20% can afford qualitative medical treatment abroad.
ReplyDeleteY d man no come LUTH 4 medical check up?
ReplyDeleteA why?
GRACIA!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm i just hope soooo. Besides y nt in nigeria.Bad management
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how nearly every Nigerian President since this democratic dispensation began,has gone to the UK for medical check up?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it time they developed the healthcare services in Nigeria?
For how long will Public office holders keep traveling abroad for mere check ups when there are hospitals in Nigeria that can be developed to meet the UK standard?
Aren't there Nigerian doctors with enough medical expertise to carry out these "check ups"?
Good health to Mr. President.
This same fellow that urged Nigerians to patronize made in Nigeria products? He couldn't even undergo his medicals in any of the so-called best hospitals in this country. I weep for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteRIP Johnny!
ReplyDeleteThat's good for him,wishing him good health.. Lindodo you dey over active today,both in posting news and comments. Bravo!you got me glued to your blog today..It seems I'm first,lolz.•Vikenx Virus•
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. Lies upon lies....
ReplyDeleteDs man is a disgrace...4 d past 4yrz he hs govern ds country he cldn't erect a gud healthcare system in nigeria smh....it is well wt nigeria...buh he cn go to anoda man's land to check his bloody self
ReplyDeleteGEJ didn't cause d healthcare problem we have in Naija 2day...
DeleteIt started in d days of Ransome-kuti who made it possible 4 a bill 2 be passed thus, only Dr are allowed to be ministers of health...
I have a lot of medical Dr as friends, they aren't taught anytin concerning management in school so how do u xpect them to tackle the managerial problems of the health sector
Most teaching hospitals are falling apart today cos Dr are running dem with their egostical life-style
U all shld leave GEJ alone 4 once & look 4 oda people in d ministry of health to blame, that's Y dere are ministers in different parastatals, GEJ can't do d work alone
For d person calling on NMA, pls y'all shld take several seats abeg
D Drs we have in this country are mostly jokers, they don't care if u don't have the money
My advice to any1 who's listening, if u have the money, run very very far from Nigerian Doctors cos there middle name is incompetence... Not all of them anyway
:)
May God grant u healing.
ReplyDeleteGod be with the medical machine used in checking him up cos With that face of his, I really hope the device doesn't crash.
ReplyDeleteGet well my dear GEJ to enable u build 'house of cure' for us masses as there is no hospital fit enough in Nigeria to cater for upper classes. Lady
ReplyDeleteFuture impossible
DeleteShame!!
ReplyDeleteok we don hear, get well soon sir,
ReplyDeleteWhy na london the ewu aka goat went to? SMH! How doomed this country is. Can Obama ever go to neighbouring canada for check up? So he knows the health facilities in nigeria na time bomb. I weep for Nigeria

ReplyDeleteEwoo... wetin dey do our daddeeeeee?
ReplyDeletey does he have to do it abroad,how cn he expect us to trust our hospitals when he doesnt..
ReplyDeleteI have finally concluded that these people are insane.
ReplyDeleteHow can a president leave his own country to go for med check abroad?
What happened to his own country?
What happened to his health sector?
arent there at least 10 hospitals that can be standardized to meet the status of foreign hospitals? Even if 10 is too much,isn't there 1
Even if its serious....olorun afun ni alafia
ReplyDeleteLolz
ReplyDeleteLinda u re becoming fond of the president lately,tot u initially said dat u re not a fan of him, or are u eyeing some national award frm him? #winks
ReplyDeleteWe wish him Quick Recovery. Its not easily to manage 160 million people with diverse interest.
ReplyDelete#gegen #actionfilm
ReplyDeleteWhether it's serious on not... If the healthcare system in Nigeria was effective and fully functional would he have to travel abroad for a checkup? #ICantWaitFor2015!

ReplyDeleteGod please let nothing happen to my President.
ReplyDeleteWho cares
ReplyDeleteWho cares
ReplyDeleteI wish him well
ReplyDeleteWhy do President Goodluck Jonathan have to go to London for Annual medical check up, what is wrong with Nigerian hospitals? as a president of Nigeria, he should promote everything about the country Good or bad. here in United State I cried every night because i am tired of defending this country to people that says bad things about it all the time. I have one thing to say that is the root of Nigeria problem but it's only forward thinking creative people will understand it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, dy should kip travelling abroad to seek medical attention and watch their own country's medicals rot.. God will judge.
ReplyDeleteNo hospital good enough for him in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmn....May God heal our land,Amen.
ReplyDeleteMay God grant him quick recovery
ReplyDeleteI could diagnose from his excellency eyes look that he has liver disease. He should reduce his carbohydrates loads and take much fresh fruits. No medicine or surgery could heal liver disease than to reduce his calories intake as he is getting old. I wish him a quick full recovery.
ReplyDeleteMy president, pls don't allow the plenty wahala in this Nation to kill U...abeg! We love & pls get well soon!
ReplyDeleteabeg make him answer asuu b4 he sick o.any way may God give him good health.amen

ReplyDeleteAssure all Nigerians indeed when 99% of us are praying for his quick demise.The 1% rooting for him are his fellow corrupt looters. Yeye man, instead of hiding face in shame that we have no good hospitals. .how many times has that media adviser heard of the UK PM going for medicals in India or OBama in Kenya.Mumu people
ReplyDeleteSo no good hospital in ur country. Disappointment as a president.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon sir! Nigeria sympathises with you
ReplyDeletewww.projectreloaded.ng
I wish Mr. President well....life has no duplicate #word
ReplyDeleteEyOsA
Burukutu!!!
ReplyDeleteMandela fell ill and was treated in Pretoria, Jonathan goes for medical check up in London. wish the dude would die there.......
ReplyDeleteMaybe he is down with fever, couldnt even do a simple check up here....shame!
ReplyDeleteWhen someone from the presidency in most countries undergo medical checkup, they try to keep it quiet, but nigeria our country, they spill it to the whole world, no shame, even when a whole president is leaving his country because of poor medical facilities to go to another country to have a check up, they should cover their heads in shame
ReplyDeleteOga me!do come back oo.
ReplyDeletePresido waitin do our general and private hospitals na. Abi na crime if u do check-up for there?
ReplyDeleteOk we don hear
ReplyDeleteFools!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing him quick recovery. Our enemies will not succeed. At least he has achieved one thing which is handing over PHCN to the new owners.
ReplyDeleteNew owners indeed!!!! I hope u know that phcn was bought by these same politicians
Deletehmmm, would have said "I hope he is not cornering some billions out to a private account" if it hadn't been mention he has a pending official purpose in London. but wait ooo!! at it been he is sick here in Nigeria would he have rather had his check up in one of our hospital?
ReplyDeleteI pray he recovers quickly and come back home to better our health sector too.
SERIOUSLY??? No doctors in Nigeria competent enough to give him a check up??? And that fool Abati puts this on twitter?? Dis country isva shame. I'm so disgusted.
ReplyDeleteHop its nt frm his village oo. Wish u quickest recovery mr presido
ReplyDeletecherry
SHAMELESS FOOLS! when u lose every sense of shame, u can utter statements like that! why isn't he undergoing the check up here in Nigeria? Aren't our Medical practitioners competent enough or hospitals well-equipped? Can Obama announce that he is going for check-up in London? SHAME! shaka shaka shuu shuu sure!! lol!!!
ReplyDelete..and there are no competent medical practitioners in nigerai? How useless can our leaders be? They have no confidence in their own work and the annoying part is how they flaunt their incompetence and thieving sellves along with their loot at us, oh God, where are you?
ReplyDelete"...has since been examined by COMPETENT medical practitioners..." As against the INCOMPETENT ones he travels around with on his frivolous jamborees? Get well soon presido, so you can continue your duties, i.e "creating wealth" (for ur stooges) and not "giving a damn" about the general populace". God dey watch you. QUESTION IS....IS THE PRESIDENT A COMPETENT PRESIDENT? ARE OUR SENATORS COMPETENT SENATORS? ARE OUR MINISTERS COMPETENT MINISTERS? IS THE OPPOSITION COMPETENT? ARE OUR JUDGES/LAWYERS COMPETENT LAWYERS? ARE OUR ENGINEERS COMPETENT ENGINEERS? ARE OUR TEACHERS/LECTURERS COMPETENT? ARE OUR SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN COMPETENT? ARE OUR 'CELEBS' COMPETENT ENTERTAINERS/PERFORMERS? ARE OUR SECURITY OPERATIVES COMPETENT? ARE WE COMPETENT CITIZENS? ARE YOU, YES YOU..ARE YOU COMPETENT AT YOUR JOB/PLAY? WE ARE NATION OF IMCOMPETENT SUBMEDIOCRES...SORRY I ALMOST FORGOT, ARE WE COMPETENT FRAUDSTERS/LIARS/RIGGERS???
ReplyDeleteChoi Linda u see y Nigeria may not make any progress in the health care system, our own president running to the UK simply because of check up that Wuse General Hospital would have readily provided if equipped. Mr President! God is watching you on cinema
ReplyDeleteMethinks that the president going for medical checkup abroad just shows his lack of faith in our system
ReplyDeleteRosie Said.....Eeeewoh,Nija Giant of Africa.So no doctor or hospital can do an ordinary check on our President? how shameful.Just imagine Obama going to Canada to get a medical check up......I know its wrong to compare both countries,but we can try small now.
ReplyDeleteBaba God abeg ooo
ReplyDeleteGL Jonathan doooh no sick ooo we no fit mourn oo
Nigeria is probably one of the few countries where it's politicians seek medical treatment in foreign countries. If that's not evidence of corruption and a failed state I don't know what is.
ReplyDeleteAll the way to the Uk for something that's "nothing serious"??? Nigeria as a country is a joke
Abeg which hospital e dey make I go tell am make e give me small money! I need bar seriously for dis london! Salary no dey reach do anytin,as dem dey pay u,e dey finish! Linda abeg.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that the fisherman had too much sapele water for his birthday party. That's why he's in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteIn London!!!! Thats how pathetic our situation is now eh? When the Government can openly admit our President is abroad undergoing medical check up. I weep for Nigeria!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is supposed to be gud news eh! I wud have loved for it to be in a Nigerian hospital instead of London. I think d problem with this country is spiritual, why has Jonathan and all the past leaders not bulit even one standard hospital in Nigeria,mtchew
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to our hospitals in Nigeria..but when them die..them go bury them for Nigeria...
ReplyDeleteWho cares if he's dead?
ReplyDelete..So there are no competent medical practioners in Nigeria ba?? Shiooo!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is not serious o! Get well soon dear President.
ReplyDeleteO n pe ki condition e to serious. Who frigging cares?
ReplyDeleteAbati, thank you for not lying about the state of health of our president. It would have been foolish if Sahara Reporters told us first only to be denied by the presidency... I wish the president quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteThis is so shameful Mr. President have to travel to another country for a check up. Well done sir! What a fine way to set a good example. #FuckingRetard!
ReplyDeleteWho kias if its preventionary,precautionary or real life treatment
ReplyDeletei will curse those that curse you and bless those that bless you,thus says the lord..my presido God almighty will protect and guard you.wishes of quick recovery in jesus name amen....
ReplyDeleteGod will see you through Mr president
ReplyDeleteNigeria hospitals not good enough to get a "checkup" in?
ReplyDeleteShameful that this man runs a country in which he doesn't even trust the medical standards to get a simple checkup there.
If only the average Nigerian could go to London for precautionary measures. Meanwhile other presidents go to their local hospitals when it's nothing serious. I hope he's working on our healthcare system sha.
ReplyDeleteHas a president there isn't any place to do your medical checkup in your own country other than to travel out. You should be ashame of your self
ReplyDeleteMy president pls come back ooooo Ur enemies can't see U I no say dem dey pray make U die buh God no go allow dat I love U we love U
ReplyDeleteWhat a great country. Lead by these babalawo leaders . See how they shamelessly proclaim to the world , how backward Nigeria is, it doesn't have medical facilities for the president to trust in. So what do common man do!. They are left to the mercy of the substandard health care system. It's just sick . What level of common seance is needed for a leader of a country to decide to invest in at least 2 good hospitals in the country. If not for any thing but to save embarrassment .
ReplyDeleteWhen u can't give us good hospitals but with the not serious illness you can travel for check up. You are such a disgrace Jonathan no one is voting for you again. Fool
ReplyDeleteAnoda hols for PJ
ReplyDeleteUna do well, he needs rest sha as a human
ReplyDelete#1#. Lwkmd y dis man no do em chk up 4 naija na? #2# xo afta bday d nxt tin na chk up? Hope no b say dis man don chop wetn em no suppose chop 4 d bday.#sighs#
ReplyDeleteFurther confirmation to the world that they can't even provide proper health facilities in Nigeria. What will it cost to run a state of the art hospital in Nigeria? Members of his cabinet are busy approving and taking possession of overpriced armoured vehicles whereas they can't even save themselves when they fall sick inside the said cars... Its just apalling that a country claiming to be the giant of Africa can not even check its public officers. God help Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteMy Presido, get well quickly for us ooo...
ReplyDeleteI gbadun you die, sir!!!!
There is more than enough oil revenue coming in every single day for thes greedy thieves to build first class hospitals in Nigeria. But bad na bad . Notting good can come from a badly manage country. There is no honour amongst thieves. These illiterates don't see anything wrong in going abroad for treatment. So ignorant they don't hear the sarcasm the foreigners direct at them in the expensive private hospitals they go to. Dumb fucks
ReplyDeletethat means no competent medical practitioners in Nigerian.. shame
ReplyDeleteAny how na our own en B.....go wel
ReplyDeleteSo na us no get competent doctors abi.....mtchewww....next news joor
ReplyDeleteI think his medical check up was planned before he left Nigeria for London. We can't always be deceived!
ReplyDeleteMay God grant him quick recovery. If its hangover as Abati suspects then its really bad for a president. You are healed sir.
ReplyDeleteIf nt that the bible says we shuld pray for our leaders, I wuld av wished him dead, If he's so sure of his govt why can't he do a Medical checkup at a Nigerian Hospital...Mtchew
ReplyDeleteOga Jona wey don go London go flex wit fresh babes. Check-up indeed. Linda no try me O! Post mi comment
ReplyDeleteWonder when david cameron will come to nigeria for medical checkup. The president should be ashame.
ReplyDeleteMr Abbati shut the fuck up, we all know Mr president is an alcoholic and probably woke up with a terrible hangover hence why hour could not attend the meeting in the morning or he got alcohol poisoning, advice him to take it easy for the sake of his liver and don't try to fool us x
ReplyDeleteThat is why people fail exams o! Read the press statement again before commenting. The man travelled for something else and fell sick there. So he should have come back to Nija for treatment ba? Something dey do una o!
ReplyDeleteWe can now see why our doctors are always on strike,pls don't blame them again the president have given answer to our doubts,GEJ pls @home & fix our problems you hold the record of most traveling president naija ever had
ReplyDeleteIs funny ao pple comment stupidly,read d post again nd again 4 clear undastanding b4 u comment. He went 4 an Honorary event felt sick ad 2 go 4 a checkup,so he shud fly bk 2 d country 1st b4 he goes 4 d checkup,#SMH
ReplyDeletemr presido no play rough play oooo.....get well soon sha
ReplyDeleteU don't post my comment na wa o
ReplyDeleteReading the comments on this blog im really disappointed the way Nigerians think..our President went for an official trip but unfortunately fell ill and you all expect he rushes back home to be checked here first..it's in his right to immediately seek medical attention where he is...you guys don't get it..who in his position would fly back to Nigeria ill first..Let criticized with sense
ReplyDeleteBetter than hiding the truth.Erm...Oga Jonah, softly on that Johnny Walker. Too light for you Abi?
ReplyDeleteBut he was already in London before he fell ill. Did u expect him 2 start coming back home when he ws already dere 4 an official meeting. Even obama wld have done the same. Guys shld not b quick 2 criticise
ReplyDeleteI disagree,President Obama'd not have done the same because his travel crew'd have consisted of some highly trained medical personnel and they've the airforce-1.There's also the security and financial implication
DeleteIf he likes he should come back healthy, if he likes he should die there. His rule is worse than a dead man's rule. Wicked leaders dat don't want students to go to school.
ReplyDeleteY going tru ur comment, I don't know, there is dis emotion dat jst filled me, I even wept! How can u be dis cruel? Y?
DeleteBut he was already in London before he fell ill. Did u expect him 2 start coming back home when he ws already dere 4 an official meeting. Even obama wld have done the same. Guys shld not b quick 2 criticise
ReplyDeleteAM quite disappionted at the comments am reading here...GEJ didnt go to London intentionally for medical check up..he went for a meeting..Nigeria’s Honorary International Investors’ Council meeting and fell ill..for Christ's sake he has alot of things to deal with..we should give him some credit at least..
ReplyDeleteCredit for???
DeleteOh nothing...that's what I thought
I pray the enemy of this useless president has not been able to give this useless president , ARAFAT TREATMENT.
ReplyDeleteThe medical team in UK better start looking for evidence of radioactive materials on this man before this man expire.
I don't trust the enemies of this president , especially the ' BORN-TO-RULE-AND-LOOT northerners. They are likely to do anything to get power back because they know without power, they are doomed.
I think it was plutonium that was used to kill ARAFAT.
Putin also uses it to take care of his enemies even inside BRITAIN.
I don't know wether it has antidote though.
All hand should be on deck to save Jonathan, maybe if he survive this, he will wake up and start doing the right things for us. Who knows.
olu@atlanta.
Linda Dear. A great fan and blog reader, but never a commenter. However, the very shallow IQ of your readers leaves so much to be desired. The response to the GEJ medical story left me with a shock stare, wondering how anyone could immediately have a response to something he didn't even read. Such a shame!!
ReplyDeleteWe are so quick to criticise we forget to read stuff properly,i dont get u guys he fall sick in london,but he should have waited till he came back to nigeria before he gets treated?.haba use yur heads please.kai
ReplyDeleteFrm reliable source, it was what he took durin his bday dat caused d sickness,After enough hennesy !!!jst take it easy abeg ooh Oga @ d top
ReplyDeleteLinda please I need the Hospital address ASAP. Make I carry better fresh fish pepper soup go give my Presido... linda no dulling ooh!
ReplyDeleteWhy are some die hard Jonathan supporters trying to lie here.
ReplyDeleteReuben Abati wrote that Jonathan went for medical check up. That was what he wrote. He did not write that Jonathan went for a seminar and fell ill during the seminar.
Jonathan went for a check up abroad and was found not to be alright and was advised to rest. This is what Abati wrote.
What is difficult to understand in what Abati wrote.
I am not surprised..given how cold the weather is currently in London. It could be a massive shock for anyone coming from the tropics...However the comments here from Nigerians reeks of classlessness and inability to articulate. Much as most are very touchy about the bad governance that Nigerians have endured over the past 50years, there should be a clear line between mediocrity and rational reasoning.
ReplyDeleteBut then again..It seems that Nigerians are the least rational beings on earth..

ReplyDeleteImagine his bill..after the check up....Nigerias money..why are fooling ourselves?how can we believe in Nigeria when d so called leaders do not!..they send their children abroad for education..they go abroad for health check..so why are they leading what they don't believe in?
ReplyDeleteWhen Mandela was ill...he stayed in SA...shame on the government of NIgeria..shame on the president...shame on all the leaders who donot practice what they preach.,.this world is temporal and no amount of pilgrimage or being surrounded with man of GOd will save them from Gods wrath...
ReplyDeleteFor the second time, while attending and representing Nigeria at an International event, President Goodluck Jonathan has missed the opportunity to do what he went there to do. The first time, the infantile excuse was that he decided to miss the main event and hold a small meeting, with some inconsequential attendees to discuss matters that were not on the main schedule. Issokay, lets pretend we all fell for that and did not hear the rumours that his actual meeting was with Mr Jim Bean, Mr Johnnie Walker ably assisted by Mr Dom Perignon. Now, again, he fails to represent us, a day after celebrating his birthday through the wee hours of the night.....Hmmm, shouldn't we all cut to the chase and to quote Jamie Foxx....

Before throwing shades at the president, you guys should read the exact content of the story. It clearly states that he became 'indisposed in the course of attending a meeting in London'. In other words,the medical check up wasn't the initial intent of his visit to London. Nigerian's should stop being too quick to judge for crying out loud!!!
ReplyDeletei see ,so Nigerian doctors are incompetent abi?? Ewu
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I can just speak to the president one on one,people in this country are suffering,some people can't eat more than 150 a day,the president eat's 3million a day,that can feed half of the population a day,,, while the so called politician buy cars, build house,spend lavishly,send there kids to school abroad then put nigeria student on strike for months now,how heartless is this,they don't care cause their children is not among the stay homes during strike,recently 3b was missing,how come?when I was growing up I was told we are the leaders of 2morrow and am 24 now I still see same old leader,even the grandpas want to still come back to rule,I just wish we the youth can stand up for our right,it is only God I repeat only God that can help us,sometimes when I see people suffering I just wish why don't I have power woman or be a super woman and help,we all can help in our lil way give the needy help the homeless its start wit u.... And me.
ReplyDeleteAll of u criticizing Jonathan are illiterates and lack simple reading comprehension. He travelled to UK for a business meeting and fell ill there, so wud He had boarded his plane back to Naija and see a doctor then jump back into the plane to Uk again to conclude the meeting when He wud simply had walked into a Hospital there get checked and get back to the meeting. Am not a fan of any politician, but if we must criticize then let's do it constructively not just for the sake of criticism. He has done nothing wrong pls, he didn't go to Uk for medical check up. Use ur brains f**ls
ReplyDeleteIdiot president, why cant he do the check up here in Nigeria and gain insight on what we all go through.
ReplyDeleteMany commentators here are morons and i wish them bad luck and sickness all the life time..They can't read the press statement but quick to abuse the president.
ReplyDeleteGEJ did not go to London for medical check up but for investment forum.He was about to see over 5,000 investors but suddenly fail sick..Please LINDA educate your readers.
The president’s spokesman, Reuben Abati, said President Jonathan fell ill while in London and had sought medical attention.
ReplyDelete“He has been advised to rest for a few days.” Mr. Abati said.
And some idiots are here talking rubbish as if they have putted their house in order..Your papa or mama has never fail sick on his her travel? All those olodo on this forum should read well before putting down their comments.
will President Obama seek medical check up in CANADA??? #SMH
ReplyDeleteHey guys easy on the President, he was on an official duty to London when the Sickness caught up with him, its not like he purposely went for a checkup, even though it might be possible but not in this context, so save your curses for when he actually travels for only checkup, Haba Naija Pple make una pity Presido, he just finished his birthday and probably over ate
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, am new on your blog and I really love what u r doing. I ve taken time to read d comments on Mr president's check up in London.
ReplyDeleteI am a doctor in Nigeria, but on course USA, I can tell u THREE BIG reasons why Nigerians go abroad for medical help. one is our unequipped hospitals, health policies and the way we doctors practice in Nija. if u allow me, I will be posting comments to explain these 3 points. 2 yrs ago I wanted to resign from my organization bcos I was humiliated just bcos of the ways I practiced medicine, I continued that way though, now within 2013 alone, I have worn five Awards for same reasons. Thank you.
Those of you defending him are the dull ones. So you really believe he fell ill while in London? I am not stupid enough to believe that story. He was sick before he left Nigeria and had this medical check up pre planned. Gullible people
