Is this real or a joke?

That looks photoshopped @Poster

I swear, it wasn't. That's a mobile theater in Lagos built by a non profit organization.

Not even on my dead body!!!

Ritualist's are now incorporating 419 tactics into their traps?

It depends on what is inside the theatre. You may have a fine looking theatre and inside it is ill-equipped.
Looks does not matter. What matters is: Diathermy
Laminal flow, temperature reading, operating lights, functioning operating tables and trolley,
functioning anaesthetic machine, suctioning machine, ventilated room,
sterile packs and instruments.
ETC.

wetin makoko people do una nah?

@ OP-if you're about to drop dead, and thats the only clinic available, tell them you'd rather die than be taken there.

why not transplant the whole Makoko to the US or wherever you whiners are based.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:


We at Hope Floats Initiative(HFI) are proud to announce the opening of the prototype Amphibious Clinic/Community Center.This effort succeeded with amazing support from our partners and friends at AFH Atlanta as well as Yaba Local Government Development Authority, Lagos.

Much more than the construction of a floating clinic, we celebrate 22 free surgeries carried out by our medical team led by Dr Simeon Afolayan and his surgeon colleagues. We can't express enough gratitude to all courageous and selfless professionals who committed their time and skill to help those unable to afford health care. During Construction in Makoko we were able to provide temporary employment to a few dozen local youths, and a few long-term positions in the community. It was amazing to see the initial skepticism and oft justified mistrust turn into excitement and cooperation among the residents of Makoko.

The clinic is also meant to demonstrate the bottoms-up approach to sustainable development, and aside from solving land-use issue by use of floating platforms we also demonstrated the use of low-cost LED lights graciously donated by RedBirdLED.

Much work remains to be done on the clinic: we are working on deploying composting toilets, low-cost photovoltaic system, rain-water catchment cisterns and self-powered medical equipment.In the coming months HFI will continue rolling out Floating/Amphibious Clinics in locations most in need and work on supporting an amazing medical team in helping them save lives.

gosh, some Nigerians are chronic complainers. Get over yourselves

Roflmao!!! Did you bother to examine the picture you have there? No need speculating about the insides of that building when what you have right there is all you need to go by.

where's the clinic[b] you[/b] provided?

tpia.:

where's the clinic[b] you[/b] provided?

Oh!!! Is this a joke??

So following your reasoning, if I have yet to build my own house, I should have no opinion whatsoever of other structures? and this makes sense to you? You are asked a simple question . . .  answer it and move on. Not make yourself SUPERVISOR of what views people can hold or not hold based on YOUR take on how it ought to be. Seriously, get over that nonsense !!

tpia.:

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

hell no!!

Not at all

E get A/c ooo but if PHCN take light during surgery or mosquito fly inside your stomach from the murky water underneath, na your wahala be that.

Yeye boy na me u wan kill abi.Really world class!

It's world class. That is what BabaPupa said.

I can't remember the last time i laughed so arrogantly, but i'm doing it now

so what have you done, that's better than this?

and like I said- if you're at death's door and that's the only type of clinic available, tell them you'd rather die than go there.

Sort of like "if you are starving and the only food available is dog food with dog poo mixed in, would you eat it or not" argument? Ugh!!

Why do we Nigerians like complaining? I mean its a thing of choice whether you'l like to be taken there or not but the issue is, people are thinking!

I am no medic but I want to believe that the people who have provided this have taken into consideration the basic requirements. They have also given 20 FREE surgeries already. Prior to this, maybe the people who were operated upon would have died or suffered permanent disabilities.

Ild rather we do our own bit rather than outrightly condemn another person's effort. If this was a government initiative, I would understand your grieviances but please, these are private individuals who are doing their bits. Go do your own bit!

Maybe you should go to Somalia and rwanda and see where people are starving. Most end up 'feasting' on animal remains and drinking cow urine!

The point is, lives have been saved. I want to believe the minimum standards have been met in building this surgery. Its totally unfair for us to sit down behind a PC and bring down another man's idea. We might end up discouraging others.

Dude!!! That is NO POINT HERE!!! You are asked a very very simple question  here. Instead you have found a way to convert this into yet another “SING GLORY TO THE PATRIOTS” session!! Are you sure you are alright?

Because your so called somalians and Rwandans eat poo means it is OK for us to eat poo as well? What next? If the somalians or any other desperately poor population out there lick their butts after defaecating, we should follow suit? Do you even dissect that reasoning before you post?

Kobojunkie:

Sort of like "if you are starving and the only food available is dog food with dog poo mixed in, would you eat it or not" argument? Ugh!!

You made an analogy and I gave you information that just in case you've not noticed, people eat worse when they are starving.

Kobojunkie:

Roflmao!!! Did you bother to examine the picture you have there? No need speculating about the insides of that building when what you have right there is all you need to go by.

You also virtually destroyed another man's effort merely by looking at a picture you yourself doubted was original. And I replied by saying, rather than base all your points on whats in the picture, have you sort to find out if it meets minimum standards?

Arewe now so bad that we can draw conclusions with war torn Rwanda and Somalia?

@Aloy,

Lets not take this out of context and return to the topic at hand. Someone said analysed that is it an excuse for someone to eat dog poo just because he or she is starving and I gave an example that it is not just an excuse, it is really happening.

Back to the topic, if you read the outline, you'l read that these people have given 20 free surgeries in this same surgery. Like I said, maybe half of those 20 people would be dead by now or permanently disabled but for those surgeries. I have also challenged anyone who has more information to tell us with facts that that surgery does not meet minimum standard.
If anyone can do that, I will keep quiet.

Kobojunkie:

is there any particular reason why you're comparing a surgical clinic with dog poo?

The fact that you're not in the medical field somehow gives you a right to disparage others who are, even though you have limited or no experience evaluatiing what you're talking about?

proudly9ja:

OK!!! Let me get this straight. I responded to a post trying to compare the above with the MOST EXTREME of cases, by posting another YET EXTREME case, and what you did was respond to mind by telling me people eat worse when they are starving? Why does that matter though when we are NOT considering an extreme case here but simply trying to answer a simple question here.  A Simple YES OR NO would really suffice in this case. Not trying to make this yet another US VS THEM thread.

Wait a second . . . .  I doubted the originality of the picture and then I also posted that the other @Poster take a close look at the potential fraud rather than run off IMAGINING the inside is heaven on earth, and you claim I virtually destroyed another man’s work by doing so?

Are you kidding me? What else do I base this on? Your backside? Lol . . . Of course, I will base my points on evidence in the picture and not some COOKED UP PHOOEY I have no way of substantiating. They say pictures tell a 1000 stories and that picture there tells a lot. Why IMAGINE what it does not? The question is about the PICTURE!

Same way women have gone through abortions in a chemist shop. Will you endorse a such quacks because he successfully performed 30 abortions?
