"I've been in Netherlands for more than ten years, and I'm a citizen of Netherlands, married to a citizen there.
Since I left, I've not been to Nigeria, so I decided to come here and see how the system is. To be honest, I'm disappointed because it's not what I was expecting.
Nigeria has not changed from the way I left it. Only this bridge, if you might ask me, because I'm conversant with Ojodu Berger, so I will say only this bridge is what has changed. Because where I'm coming from, the roads are being renovated every six months.
We don't have the p00r, we don't have the extremely rich people in Netherlands. Everybody is doing good.
What you cannot afford, the system comes in and helps you. So, if you are working and I'm not working, the system takes your tax and uses it to give me what I cannot afford for myself.
Your children and my children will go to the same school. You cannot say because you are the governor, your children have to go to Oxford University. No. Every street you are living, you register your children there.
The same thing applies to hospitals. You cannot be living in Ojodu Berger and go to Ikeja to register your child in the hospital. You register where it is nearby you and everyone is insured.
If there is an acc!dÂŁnt, it doesn't matter who you are. They come, pick you up and start treatment from the ambulance, and then they take you to the hospital.
You are covered with insurance. That's how the system works...."
