Social media activist VeryDarkMan has criticised the Nigerian government following the reported death of gospel artiste Toluwanisings, alleging that the singer died after being unable to access medical attention at several hospitals.
The activist claimed that the artiste was taken to about seven hospitals but could not receive treatment because the facilities were reportedly affected by industrial action.
According to VeryDarkMan, the singer might have survived if the hospitals had been operational and able to provide the urgent medical care he allegedly needed.
In a statement circulating online, the activist blamed the government for what he described as failures in Nigeria’s healthcare system, arguing that poor access to essential medical services continues to put lives at risk.
He said, “Gospel artiste Toluwanisings was rushed to about 7 different hospitals, but they were all said to be on strike, and he lost his life. If the hospitals were not on strike, Toluwanisings would be alive.

“This is to show you how wicked the Nigerian government is. If we don’t save ourselves from this evil government, no one will.”
The activist’s comments have drawn attention to concerns about the accessibility of emergency medical care in Nigeria, particularly when industrial disputes disrupt services in public health facilities.
Strikes by health workers have repeatedly raised concerns about the consequences for patients requiring urgent treatment, especially those who may have limited options for accessing alternative medical facilities.
However, the circumstances surrounding Toluwanisings’ reported death, including the alleged visits to seven hospitals and the role industrial action may have played, have not been independently established in the information available.
The incident has renewed calls for improved healthcare delivery, better access to emergency services and measures to minimise disruptions to essential medical care during labour disputes.
