Celebrity barman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has expressed frustration over the state of Nigeria’s health care system, describing it as a “joke.”
Sharing his experience via Instagram Stories, he narrated how he visited a hospital in Ikoyi where he had been a long-time patient, only to wait for more than an hour without seeing a doctor after his vitals were checked.
He explained that he chose not to disclose the hospital’s name out of respect for their business but was disappointed by the lack of medical attention.
According to him, he later moved to another hospital in Lekki, where he was required to fill a lengthy online form before being attended to. He eventually managed to see a doctor, purchased medications for typhoid and malaria, and is currently undergoing treatment.
The nightlife promoter lamented that accessing quality medical care in Nigeria remains a major challenge, adding that he plans to seek proper treatment abroad, particularly in the UK, once he travels.

“Honestly health care is a joke in this country. Walked into a hospital I have been using in this Ikoyi for years sick. After vitals it’s over an hour plus & no doctor is available. I no wan post the hospital because I understand what business is all about.
