Boss Mustapha like most Nigerians is clueless as to how bad our healthcare sector is yet people accuse me of always being negative. Well, I never knew how bad things were until I became a doctor, worked in 3 continents then returned. I was shocked that people are not in arms. pic.twitter.com/LFolN53t6T

Boss Mustapha said he is not aware of the state of our hospitals.
Our Minister of Health said he is not aware if doctors treating Covid-19 patients are paid Hazard allowance.
It is finished! We don't mean anything to this people. I need to start looking for a new country. 😔

Meanwhile,some also asked Nigerian not to blame the SSG because he does not use the facility as it were
Don't blame SGF Boss mustapha for saying the truth, he doesn't know the State of health sector Since he doesn't use it, unlike Fashola that knew the state of Nigerian roads that are 'not that bad as painted' Blame the moronic buharideens that keep supporting this administration.
