Phyna, the winner of the popular reality TV show Big Brother Naija, has caused a stir on social media with her recent tweet about workers in general hospitals. The reality star shared her experience during a visit to a medical facility and expressed her frustration with some nurses, stating that they needed to be “flogged and sacked.” She also made a sweeping statement, blaming them for causing 80% of deaths in general hospitals.
Phyna’s remarks have sparked a debate online, with many people criticizing her for making such a statement about an entire profession. Some people have accused her of generalizing, saying that it is unfair to paint all nurses with the same brush. Others have called for her to apologize and retract her statement, stating that it is insensitive and unprofessional.
However, some people have come to Phyna’s defence, arguing that her comments are not entirely baseless. They point out that there have been reports of negligence and unprofessional conduct by some health workers in the past, and that it is important to hold them accountable.
The controversy has once again highlighted the issue of the quality of healthcare in Nigeria. Many people have shared their own experiences of the state of general hospitals in the country, with some saying that there is a need for more investment in the sector and better training for health workers.
