- Pascal Okechukwu, widely recognized as Cubana Chiefpriest, is a renowned figure in Nigeria’s social and nightlife scenes.
- He recently faced warnings concerning the medications he procured for treating malaria and typhoid.
- He openly discussed his health challenges and shared a frustrating encounter at a Nigerian healthcare facility.
Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, a prominent nightlife entrepreneur and socialite, recently revealed his health ordeal and dissatisfaction with the service he received at a Nigerian hospital.
In an Instagram post, he disclosed that feeling unwell prompted him to seek medical attention, but the experience at the hospital was far from satisfactory.
He described the hospital staff as lacking empathy and professionalism, which ultimately led him to abandon the planned medical examinations.
Instead of undergoing the tests, Cubana Chiefpriest opted to purchase medication directly from a pharmacy after witnessing the subpar treatment at the facility.
Shortly after sharing his story, he posted an image of a receipt showing he spent approximately N700,000 on various drugs intended to treat malaria and typhoid.
This sparked a reaction from a Nigerian medical professional who criticized both the prescription and the overall healthcare approach Cubana Chiefpriest received.
On Elon Musk’s X platform, the doctor expressed strong opinions, stating, “If you have the means, it’s crucial to have dedicated personal physicians who prioritize your health.”
He further commented, “The combination of drugs prescribed for the alleged malaria and typhoid is inappropriate and likely ineffective. He may end up needing treatment again.”
The doctor questioned why someone of Cubana Chiefpriest’s financial stature would accept such inadequate medical care, especially given his ownership of luxury assets like a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and an impressive car collection.
He emphasized that individuals in the top tier of wealth should ensure their healthcare matches their lifestyle standards, stating, “For someone like Cubana Chiefpriest, settling for a diagnosis as trivial as ‘malaria and typhoid’ is unacceptable. Your healthcare should reflect your status and resources.”
Below are some of the doctor’s tweets addressing the issue:
Public reactions to the situation varied widely, with many expressing skepticism and humor:
