Barrage of reactions trailed the comments of Bashir El-Rufai, the son of the Kaduna state governor, as he taunted Falz, the rapper, for travelling to the United Kingdom for knee surgery.
On Wednesday, May 10 2023 Falz disclosed that he sustained an injury on his anterior cruciate ligament while playing football in November 2022.
The rapper added that he underwent surgery on May 2, 2023, at a medical facility in London.
Reacting to Falz’s disclosure via his Twitter handle on Thursday, Bashir said he expected the singer to have had his surgery in a Nigerian hospital.
He added that he was “disappointed” Falz did not go to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) as a “bona-fide human rights activist”.
“UK? He didn’t go to LASUTH as a bona-fide human rights activist? Disappointing,” he wrote.
Bashir's comment has stirred reactions on the microblogging platform as some Nigerians opined that he is entitled to any hospital of his choice provided he is not spending taxpayers g money
Read some comments :
I am just wondering if I am sick and I can afford treatment abroad I should not do so when I am not a public servant.
I wish Falz a very speedy recovery. @Banibo6.
It is Lagos in particular and Nigeria, in general, they destroyed that made his travel abroad for better health care. If they did well through responsible governance Falz will be here to seek medical treatment.@CAnochiwa
For those asking if Falz did his surgery in Nigeria or not. As long as it’s not taxpayer's money it’snonen of your damn business.
Don’t even try to compare it with I built Lagos, I built Lagos. Falz is a private citizen and doesn’t ne'edtaxpayerss' money to undergo surgery… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… @Hashafcee1
