Anthony Joshua Accident: Why Do Nigerians Love to De-market Nigeria?
Anthony Joshua suffered a ghastly accident today in a rural part of Ogun State, and instead of de-marketing Nigeria, why don't you and I wait for the full details of what occurred to our beloved boxing champion before making dramatic and damaging statements whose veracity we cannot be sure of?
You were not at the scene of the accident. You are relying on videos you see online. You don't know the full details.
But your first instincts are to attack Nigeria and paint the worst possible picture to the outside world, and now headlines from as far away as India and Australia are quoting Nigerian X users and lampooning Nigeria and saying that no first responders came to Mr Joshua's rescue and that the whole scene was emblematic of a failed state.
Just turn on your international news channels and see the horrible things they are saying about Nigeria right now and quoting Nigerian X users!
And sadly, some of the people castigating Nigeriw and our institutions based on hearsay and online chatter claim to be journalists.
It says more about the state of our journalism than our healthcare and emergency response systems.
Well, I made enquiries, and it is not the case that emergency response services let Mr Joshua down. Rather, immediately after the accident, eyewitnesses did not wait for first responders and heroically began assisting Mr Joshua.
Within the very first two minutes, they intervened. Obviously, not being professionals, they would make mistakes and not follow procedure.
The Federal Road Safety Corp arrived within the first few minutes of the accident and met passers-by who were already intervening. The police showed up, and seeing that the crowd had already taken the initiative, what would you have them do?
Before an ambulance could get there, Mr Joshua was already close to a hospital. This is all in the space of minutes, not up to an hour.
The deaths that occurred during the accident, according to preliminary official reports, were not caused by any negligence. The individuals concerned died on the spot, and the official cause is collision trauma from "excessive speed". May God grant fortitude to their families.
How is that the fault of emergency response personnel? I see no blame for Nigeria in this! But I will still wait for the full official statement.
Even in England, when an accident occurs in a rural area, emergency responders take time to arrive. Anywhere from fifteen minutes and above. Please Google it! Most likely more.
Remember Diana, Princess of Wales? She sadly had an accident right in the heart of the metropolitan area of Paris, and it took fifteen minutes for an ambulance to get to her—the most high-profile woman in the world at that time.
And even after the ambulance came, it took them over an hour, precisely 101 minutes, to get her to a hospital.
How long did it take Spanish first responders to get to Diogo Jota's car? That was a big scandal!
Please be patriotic and wait for an official statement before hastily crucifying Nigeria.
Remember how we did the same thing after armed robbers killed the late Somtochukwu Maduagwu. Nigerians libelled the police and the emergency doctors who tried to save her life, only for the truth to come out later, but much irreparable damage had already been done.
Let us not repeat history and claim that it repeated itself
