NIGERIA CAN ACTUALLY WORK


Nigeria can actually work.
So here I am in a private hospital waiting to see the Pediatrician. We just got registered and had to wait 30 minutes in the lobby for him to come ( I even begin to complain to my husband that he's taking time probably because he is coming from a public hospital). He walks in and I realise the same person I had met in the public hospital barely 2 weeks ago was the same person was meeting in a private hospital and the treatment was different.
I was being spoken to politely.
I'm told what is wrong with my kid, but when I was in the public hospitals two weeks ago he sparsely spoke to me, he mostly wrote.
The kind of drugs we were given. 
It was just different ...
So here I am left wondering, what is going on different work environments (the public and the private spaces).
What is required in the public space is different from the private space.
The work load even on our public servants is overwhelming, it affects they way they handle us.
Our public spaces aren't palatable for people to go, they often leave feeling treated like trash.

I think that we need to organise this nation make things work in both the public and private sectors. The standards of what is expected of people should be high and the same in both sectors. This is the only way we can grow as a nation.
