So Nigeria government can not build a good hospital in Seme border for emergency purposes?  After driving hundreds of kilometers to Badagry Hospital,  they still expect someone with gunshot wound and he is losing a lot of blood to survive? 
In fact, there is no other hell than Nigeria. It will be a double punishment to suffer in Nigeria and still go to hell. Everything is upside down,  nothing is working and the politicians are the most hardened criminals on earth.
