THIS IS WHAT WE CALL, "AMBASSADOR " RUSHED HIS CITIZEN TO HOSPITAL, STOOD BY HIM.
  HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGERIAN AMBASSADORS AND OTHER TRUE AMBASSADORS IN THE WORLD.
    NIGERIAN AMBASSADORS DON'T CARE FOR THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.  THE MONEY USED IN SERVICING IS A GREAT WASTE.
