He lamented that the woman and her husband, including friends and family around them, could not raise N500,000.
His words:
“He didn’t have N500k. She didn’t have 500k. His family didn’t have N500k. Her family didn’t have N500k. His friends didn’t have N500k. Her friends didn’t have N500k. This is despite having 9 months to plan for it. That is how bad the poverty is. Wait, government hospital would have been cheaper right?”
Sir Dickson also asked how the man planned to raise his family if there was no income amounting to N500k.
He asked:
“How was he looking to cater to a family of 5 if family income didnt amount to N500k? In the end, we need better leaders and a good education system. People are still very much ignorant of family planning and health insurance scheme. Please vote wisely next time because if the government continues to fail in its responsibility towards its citizens – to protect them and promote their general welfare, then all hope is lost. That is why the fight against corruption, is the biggest fight of our lives.”

“Sometimes we need to have it at the back of our mind that nobody is coming to save you because e get why.”
@ammorraskinnn said:
“Most women don’t go to the hospital to register when they are pregnant until when there is an emergency they start looking for hospital that will accept them. Even general hospital will not accept you if your not registered there for ANC except it’s a referral.”
