David Mark's Israel Treatment Is A Mockery of the Deplorable Health System In Nigeria

The untamed rate at which Nigerian politicians scramble abroad will inevitably inspire citizens to public fuss, speedily than they may expect it. T
he fate left for citizens to live with while they frequent oversea countries for investments, conferences, medical treatment and for the enjoyment other pleasures derivable from the ambience that accompanies developmental strides of those attractive cities are just too aggravating and continuously reinforcing indignations. As it appears, they have made only two things out of Nigeria as it suits their callous lifestyles; a country that springs resources they loot, and a ranch where they would be buried.
The lives they live make ocular exemplification of what they have made Nigeria. From observations, the following countries recognize Nigeria for exotic and outrageous patronage made by the flatulent political rogues from the country; Switzerland recognizes our politicians as best banking clients who do not request for deposit or even inquire of their account balances but only keep adding funds to their accounts; UK and America will recognize that our politicians are both perfect "angel investors" ; Dubai understands that Nigerian politicians are the greatest mystery shoppers from anywhere in the world; Germany, India, Saudi Arabia and Israel collectively recognize this series of criminal politicians as the greatest patronizers of their hospitals; the UK should hold our politicians as the smartest and heartless thieves in the world who would not stop until they have looted so much for life in the hereafter. This is to emphasize how the politicians who are supposedly the destiny shapers for over 150 million people spend prodigally, making selfish junkets across all desirable parts of the world to squander their loots, while they leave Nigeria to rot. They only loot in Nigeria and then, expect Nigeria to be their final resting place.
Making Dubai a choice location for shopping ridicules either the quality of Nigeria’s malls or the value of items stocked here. If it is for the standard of the malls that they race up to Dubai, then the question hangs on them as to why Nigeria cannot have similar or better shopping facilities; if for the type of items stocked, it hangs on them the question of why type of importations are not properly regulated and why Nigeria’s industrial complex cannot be well equipped to make such quality products available at home.
It only makes silly sense of Nigerian frontrunners to call on investors to buy into where they would not invest. Only idiotic hypocrites will solicit and think that serious foreign investors will invest where they have not provided security, electricity, reliable transport system from channels of usable roads and sound banking system, etc. What exactly attracts our politicians to invest in the UK, in Ghana, Kenya and other countries and why are those things, not possible in Nigeria? They simply steer away from the collapse they caused and fly several miles to embrace the good developments worked for by others abroad, making ridicule of themselves and how they have callously destroyed their homeland.
Senate President David Mark made a trip to Israel for medical treatment for an undisclosed ailment which his media assistant passed up as ‘minor’. How ‘minor’ is David Mark’s health issue for the National Hospital in Abuja to have rejected him, does he too suffer from Churg Strauss Syndrome?
There are only few reasons a person may travel to seek health treatment abroad. It is either as a direct admittance that the hospitals back home lack the requisite resources to handle the crisis projected by your health or that there is no medical facility on the ground to effectively treat your case. While the case with Nigeria is not as much as lack of ability to manage health issues, the problem with the Nigerian health system is fraught with inadequate supply of common health facilities, which is the reason Nigerian politicians frequent Germany, Spain, India, Saudi Arabia and Israel for treatment. A world class example of irony in this case is that those who want top grade, state-of-the-art facilities most wok it least, and those who fail in their responsibilities to make a system work are usually the victims of its imminent collapse. Those whose duty it is to make available infrastructures work including the health system but failed to deliver are usually the victims of serious health issues; those who siphoned resources meant for electrification of the country will invariable die of its cause; those responsible for the failure of our roads will either run on potholes and summersault or avoid using the road and lose it all by air mishap.
The trip to Israel by the senate president makes a ribald exposure of their total failure in the health sector, especially someone of David Mark’s long public profile. Nigerian Doctors are underpaid and under-equipped, yet overworked. Senate President David Bonaventure Mark as far back as he was the Governor of Niger State from 1984 to ‘86, and to the time he resumed as the Senator for Benue South in 1999, and then to assume office as President of the Senate of Nigeria on June 6, 2007, and till date. If someone had been connected in a way since 1984 to this day in 2012, he and his cohorts and those he heads since 1999 could not change the health system to provide facilities for adequate health treatment, but could enrich themselves to afford treatments abroad tells with emphatic stress that he already failed. I remember the statement that ‘telephone was not meant for the poor’ was credited to him to hurt the extremely poor hearts of Nigerians that they should either get rich too or die mysteriously. Is the stuff he goes to get treatment with in Israel an exclusive arc in the ancient, holy city that we cannot have available for others to benefit from it? David B. Mark already stayed long enough to have influenced the health system to grow as reliable as Israelites should come seeking health aids here and not the other way round. If he will contest for President as we are already getting wind of some rumors, he already has given us ample clue into his manifesto, having been material for several years without affecting anything we can be proud of. With the proposed barring of public officers from travelling abroad for medical treatments, it is abundantly evident that sacred cows like David Mark will make stealth through secret doors. Not only David Mark, but running abroad for medical treatment confirms to us that they all are not sure of the effectiveness of the health system they built here – it is not safe and so, they cannot risk their lives by depending on it, but they can endanger the lives of Nigerians on it.
