Meekay commended the move:

"I love the fact that you are putting this out there for people to see. We have everything, good surgeons and whatnot. We just need to take things seriously and believe."

Obiefule Kingsley questioned the post:

"Bros, not everything is a joke. What do you mean by Nigeria has the best healthcare?...but your presidents don't patronise them when they're ill. I wonder why you people do these things because of money, abi? No doubt there is good health care within the country, but not the best as you portrayed it to be."

Eboda Muyiwa wrote:

"Is this world-class facility accessible by 99 per cent of the population? Do you get this level of care at government hospitals? Do the political/elite class use government hospitals?"

Fowosere Gafar said the situation should not be politicised:

"It's not news that we have a world-class hospital, or that we can have one in Nigeria. This shouldn't be about the hospital but the victim. Everything shouldn't be a campaign strategy."

Olanrewaju Idowu questioned why politicians don't patronise them:

"But our leaders no dey go there. So, why aren't politicians patronising them?"

The former world champion was deemed fit to recuperate at home, the Ogun and Lagos governments said in a joint statement, describing him as "heavy-hearted" over the loss of his friends.

The 36-year-old was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that fatally collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway in Ogun State, near Lagos, on Monday, December 29.
