Opinion: Of Health and Patriotism, By ‘Lande Atere

Nigeria can only work when institutions support each other. It will work when institutions trust each other. The various institutions that have a role to play in the health sector really need to have the right conversations.

After a medical procedure abroad, there is no way you won’t curse Nigeria and how dated our medical practices are. Some of our medical practitioners are on the “it must be malaria” automated response mode. There is no doubt that there is considerable fatigue around the whole “we-are-fighting-corruption” mantra. Nigerians want results now. Perhaps, rather than the never-ending battles in court, we may want to consider a reparation of some sort. We could negotiate for these monies to be used to build world-class hospitals. We could ask these persons to build hospitals using specifications given to them in exchange for their freedom.

Sometimes, we must ask what really makes the average “big man” in Nigeria tick? The irony of it all is that the same people whose lives have been most affected, will be the same ones protecting those who have siphoned monies meant to make Nigeria a better place for them. It is really difficult to fight the Nigerian cause, though. There are too many people dressing up their favour to us.
