When will Nigerian politicians realize they can't play corruption when it comes to the health sector in Nigeria. They think that billions of dollar they steal from poor masses of Nigeria will save them when they get sick and fly overseas for medical treatment.
Why won't Nigerian politicians realize that having a sound standard health system in Nigeria equivalent to the one they visit overseas will save even their lives and the lives of Nigerian poor masses. Death knows nobody and gives no respect to anybody.
Nigerian politicians will continue dying in foreign hostipals until they learn to STOP corruption and build at least just a single standard hospital in Nigeria. Early detection and treatment of illness can help save their lives. Flying overseas and paying heavy medical bill overseas when one is critically sick will always lead to death.
So the best solution is to built a standard hospital in Nigeria at reach to every Nigerian including politicians. This can be achieved if only corruption and embezzlement will allow politicians to reason with their brains.
