“If that is a public/government hospital, that is very impressive.”
Adegoke Victor (@tolu225) commented:
“When we say we are the giant of Africa, it honestly makes me laugh. Giant based on what, population alone? In development, discipline, and infrastructure, Nigeria should be learning from these so-called tiny countries. They are building hospitals, schools, and systems while we drag the same problems year after year. The ‘giant’ title is often empty noise.”
@EjanlaOfnaija added:
“Make e come UniAbuja Teaching Hospital… is this guy serious?”
