So, we need to know; does emergency response work in Lagos? Why does it take them forever to get to the scene of an accident? The relevant authorities need to look into this biko...
Nigeria has a long way to go in security and a whole lot of other departemnts. Fire, paramedics and many more.
ReplyDeletethis is just so funny...can't the people there or the person that sent you the pix render help to the victim?we all know the govt. is faulty but wat of our emotions
ReplyDeleteLet them just put him in a car and take him to the hospital jare instead of taking pictures of a helpless man. Emergency response ke.
DeleteU all talk like kids abi una no knw Naija again? Take him to a hospital and they will ask for a police report first b4 treatment, and police will arrest u after numerous questioning
Deletewhat if the guy dies in ur car on ur way to the hospital? then you go see gobe!!
DeleteNot only in lagos state....we need it here in ph..biko....FRANKISE SAID SO
ReplyDeleteWhat good does standing around and taking photos do?They should have carried the victim to a hospital.So for 2 hours people gathered round doing nothing?Granted the emergency response clearly doesn't work but it's even worse standing around watching an accident victim dying without doing anything.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if it works o. I called severally during an incident and was told they'll b thr shortly After asking for all the info. My dear it was d nxt morning I was called n dey were asking me if the situation is under control.
ReplyDeleteIt is working but nt called emergency again..they dnt respond quick..hmconcept2000@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI hpe he dint eventually lose it...
ReplyDeleteWe need to set~up committee to look into this matter.
ReplyDelete⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
Nawa ooooo...... Are those emergency response noy working.
ReplyDeleteSo they were all standing there and looking at him, a group of them couldn't rush him to a nearby hospital
ReplyDeleteThey do this all the time. They're never quick to respond to any emergency.
ReplyDeletehmmmm the person that called 767 and 112 is funny..u tink say na yanki u dey??you go call taya..naija emergency service wont show up.#crazycountry
ReplyDeleteThat wot we get coz we live in a country where govt doesn't care about their people
ReplyDeleteNo.. Sue those guys standing there and taking photos.. If d mountain can't come to Mohammed.. Then Mohammed should go to the mountain.. That's not fair.. Why not take the guy to the nearest hospital instead of taking pics
ReplyDeleteMay God not let you help someone and get jail...you won't blame them cos if anything goes wrong, the doctors will hold the people that brought him and you know 9ja case. ..may God just protect us
DeleteLinda, where is Pearl Osibu's piece?

ReplyDeleteHmmmmm u will cook beans and corn finish dem neva show smh
Doesn't work #bright bravo# 269beb21
ReplyDeleteJust like every typical project in nigeria that starts well but ends a huge failure. The so called lagos emergency line is ( if care is not taken) going through the same phase.I will advice people not to totally depend on it- and i say this with full confidence to challenge anyone. About a year ago i called the line, it worked and they responded, and just 2months ago called again to report an emergency and i was shocked to what i experienced only for them to call me back the next day for a feedback. Ofcourse i gave them a full dose of the feedback they wanted.
ReplyDeleteYes oooo people have been complaining lately but I wonder is it that they have too many people to attend to?or they still don't have a viable job description?its not fair ooo that lives will just be wasted just like that.
ReplyDeleteDis our Governemnt sef. All wot they knw and want is their selves
ReplyDeleteNothing works in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteEmergency response zero, security(defence) minus, electricity error, employment & empowerment inactive, & terrorism very active.
Our dictators & politicians are busy with forthcoming election. Am tired of this nation
BORN TO SHINE!!!
Yes you are right about the emergency response in Lagos. I had a similar case i called and called and they never came.
ReplyDeleteI called them one time about a fire at maryland and d person that picked cut me off saying they only respond to life threatening situations. I was so upset
ReplyDeleteLol what do u expect
ReplyDeletePhew! first of all, thank God he is not a dead man, Emergency response in Nigeria, was it ever working?
ReplyDeleteshocked they even have one.. not surprised one bit they dont respond promptly
ReplyDeleteI hope the man survived. It's not working. This is the sham and charade that fashola and his cohorts have sold to the public.. it's non functional
ReplyDeleteFashola d media guvnor...
DeleteIt doesn't work at all. I lost someone close to me because they kept saying they are on their way, but they didn't show up. and they didn't even call back to ask how far.... we were the one who kept calling and they kept saying "emergency is on the way". But we didn't see any until we got to the general hospital....And this happened last year....it hurt.....but this is the country we find ourselves......A country where ambulance buses are abandoned, while government officials change cars like underwear.....We Nigerians should use the social media to fight this injustice, instead of using it to abuse and criticize celebrities......

It's gud to call emergency but those people calling emergency can't dey take him to d nearest hospital first? If dey were with d man wen it ha penned and d man wz dia loved one will dey b waiting for emergency while d person dies? It's so sad we no longer know how to show love in dis country d xtianity some people claim is just show off.I pray he survives.

ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they take him to a hospital? Please we need to be our brothers keeper. 2 whole hours and they were waiting for imaginary emergency response? What if he had died? We need to do better as a people please. We already know how useless our government is. Let us try to help our brothers where we can. I hope the guy survived/survives.
ReplyDelete2hrs no good samaritan to take him to a nearby hospital?No hospital nearby?If emergency response no work nkor, abeg help each other leave govt alone!
ReplyDeleteThat one pain you.there was a guy convulsing outside coldstone. We called the emergency numbers and the lady who responded hissed when we told her d situation. "Hello,hello,hiss" I was in shock.KD
ReplyDeleteand when that oyingbo man said Lagos is the worst place he had ever visited, you called him an ode... Evidence no.1 to prove his point
ReplyDeleteIt is not working again because APC is too busy parking their load to leave.
ReplyDeleteNo one should blame the bystanders. If the man died in their car while taking him to the hospital, the police will arrest them for manslaughter or even murder. The hospital staff will ask for a police report before they handle the accident victim, and even a cash deposit. Are the bystanders prepared for all that hassle? I simply cannot blame them for doing nothing. Its just a sad situation.
ReplyDeleteLS
Emergency no my foot!!Really,,,it so sad our country is like this,,,we still have a loooooooooooooooongeeeeesssssTttttt way to go in this country..#GiftedDiva#
ReplyDeleteThose ppl standin thr shld rush him 2d hospital naw...if he dies nw they'll blame GEJ for it

ReplyDeleteStI'll working? Did it ever work? :/?
ReplyDeleteAnd you guys cried foul when Lee said Lagos is one of the worst place to visit. In my opinion, it is the worst on earth! Nigeria is a big joke! Very unprotective of her citizens!!
ReplyDeleteBrendaN
IS anything working in this country?
ReplyDeleteSECURITY
UNEMPLOYMENT
ELECTRICITY
BAD ROAD
SOCIAL AMENITIES
HEALTH CARE
CORRUPTION
EMBEZZLEMENT
INFRINGEMENT OF HUMAN RIGHT
NO RAIL WAY
AVIATION
INFLATION
ETC ETC ETC ETC (COMPLETE THE LIST)
So the IDIOTs that sent the photo could not take him to the hospital ?
ReplyDeleteThey seriously need to look into it.
ReplyDeleteThey shud v taken him to the hospital instead of waiting for emergency response that wil never come. So sad, he could be anybody relation
ReplyDeleteNot only Lagos, the whole Nigeria abeg. I hope the guy didn't die.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a long way to go in this country,Our leaders are busy ain't helping matters atall #onelovefromSnow#
ReplyDeleteThose saying the bystanders should have taken him to the hospital obviously don't know the kind of country you live in. There are many people rotting in jail today cos they renders help to a stranger and a gun was later found on the stranger, no one carried out investigation in this country, they will be beating to a pulp at the station and forced to admit to committing to a crime they know nothing of, spend years going to the magistrate court and when luck finally smiles on them, the statement they wrote alone and the gun found on the other guy (dead or alive) will be enough to convict. Here, it's all man for himself, God for us all. Chikena!
ReplyDeleteThe people standing there are worse than the government. No emotions! Instead of them to rush him to the nearby hospital.
ReplyDeleteScholes
"What did Lee say about Lagos again?"......Oh I guess it's best for Oyibo men to enjoy Nigerian dishes than a Nigerian getting the Emergency help he fully deserves
ReplyDeleteNa only Ebola case Lagos State Govt dey take serious now ! May God heal our land.
ReplyDeleteYou should always call 911 it works here in Nigeria, to confirm you can try it. Things will get better in Nigeria IJN Amen
ReplyDeleteE dey work ooooo
ReplyDeletethe policy in general hospitals is theatif u bring him as a good Samaritan, u better be ready to pay for everything he needs and stay there until a next of kin is reached. if he dies and u mamange to escape, his relatives will say the hospital killed him or even worse, used him for rituals. sadly, I don't lame the bystanders, neither do I blame the hospital staff, no one has their back either. meanwhile, ask any 2 or 3 'paramedics'working with those emergency services the definition of resuscitation or the basics of CPR then you will know that we haven't even started!!! most of those that survive survive inspite of the system, not because of it.
ReplyDeleteI rest my case
That's naija for you
ReplyDeleteGod bless America! Before you hang up from dailing 911 the police, medics and fire service will be at your door. I pray Nigeria will get there someday soon.
ReplyDeleteThe emergency line works! Ive called severally n dey responded tho it tuk dem few mins..n a lady cald me bk d flwn day to ask hw long it tuk d agency to respond....I think its a gud project buh den we all knw our country.. d lagos state govt is tryn..deyll gt better wt tym.
