If you don't do better with our healthcare system and you get trapped in Nigeria in a situation like the covid-19 pandemic,you will die and some of us don't owe you any empathy.
Of course I will also die one day. Naturally or because Nigeria killed me. Either way, death na death

To be sincere with you, Ajimobi once brought sanity and stability to LAUTECH. I was in 300L when he emerged as the governor for his first term. He slashed the tuition fee that was increased by the past governor not only that of LAUTECH but also other state owned

By the way, many of those tweeting ‘Ajimobi is alive’ have not seen or spoken to him since y/day. His supporters & aides at the hospital do not even have access to him.
The media aide who issued a rebuttal did it only after making phone calls; he himself has no firsthand info.
