I’m scared of returning home, Nigeria’s failed Healthcare Killed my mum, says US-based Nigerian Business woman
A Nigerian woman and mother of three has shared her reasons for not wanting to return to Nigeria, saying the country’s failed healthcare killed her mum.
The business woman identified as Lydia Aguebor from Edo State, and currently the president of the Bini Club of Houston in US during an interview said, Nigeria’s healthcare system is the reason she is afraid of returning, because it killed her mother in 2022.
According to Mrs Aguebor, her mother’s oxygen was removed from her in the hospital, because they wanted to transfer her to another hospital. The mother who was deprived of air, died before she could reach the next hospital.

“Security and healthcare are a big deal for me. I don’t see that yet in Nigeria. My mother died in 2022 in Nigeria because they removed the oxygen she was using before they could transfer her from one hospital to another,” she stated.
She said the incident always gets her emotional whenever she remembers it. “This always gets me emotional when I remember. Imagine, my mother was on oxygen and a particular hospital said they could not take care of her again.
“So, they took away their oxygen. How did they want her to survive from one point to another? I usually think that the poor healthcare system in Nigeria killed my mother. All of this gets me scared of coming back to Nigeria,” she said.
She noted that if she has to return, it would be only when the government has made the country better, and when the economy is stabilized. In fact, that all the Nigerians in diaspora would be glad to come back also.
