A man is lucky to be alive after his gas exploded and parts
of his body were burnt in the fire. He went on to narrate all the challenges he
faced while trying to get immediate medical treatment.
Mr Vwokay said: "Lagos and Nigeria will kill you with
your money and there is nothing you can do about it."
He narrated how he
called a friend to help take him to the hospital but she was held up in traffic
and arrived late. When she eventually arrived to drive him to the hospital, the
journey that should have been 5 minutes ended up taking 30 minutes because of
the bad road.
On getting to the
hospital, the nurse was clueless and had no idea what to do. He had to wait for
the doctor. The doctor also delayed for about 7 minutes before attending to
him.
Mr Vwokay said at
some point during his ordeal, it dawned on him that if his condition was
life-threatening, he would have died a long time ago due to the poor state of
things in the country.
He added that it's
better to live as a second-class citizen in a racist foreign country because
you will, at least, have access to "basic health amenities and an
organized system".
