Tolani also said that there was no empathy and the sector which has been failing a lot of Nigerians is being handled like a joke.

"Fly your loved ones out of the country for proper medical treatment most especially if they’re elderly. The nonchalance I experienced yesterday is ALARMING. See elderly gasping for air/folks needing oxygen tanks but the health professionals didn’t give a flying fu*ck."

Nigerians expressed different views about Tolani's tweet.

@VAmonye:

"Our health care system is absolutely a failure to reckon with."

@OVO30911152:

"I know you studied something in the medical field, maybe you could offer your skills (not on a full-time basis). Maybe they need someone who knows how a working system looks like to help them."

@meezeepwesh:

"While this is the best option, sadly not many people can afford this. It is sad how the system is failing and nothing is being done about it."
