By Ayodele Oluwafemi
Popular comedy skit maker, Lasisi Elenu has again stirred social media controversy for making a comedy skit which appeared to mimic Nigerian doctors and nurses
Lasisi Elenu, in his latest skit, compared how Western and Nigerian doctors/nurses attend to their patients.
The influential content creator depicted Nigerian doctors and nurses in what may appear as harsh style of interacting with patients and health workers, a sharp contrast of how the Western world was pictured.
In the skit, showcasing the Nigerian scene, Lasisi presented a doctor who was visibly angry and uninterested about his work, shouting at the nurses to clean up the hospital and take away the bucket of saliva coughed out by the patient, who is a pregnant woman.
Minutes after he released the skit, some doctors were not comfortable with the manner, he portrayed the medical profession.
This is not the first time, Lasisi will draw the irk of professionals. Recall that one of the executives of the Nigerian Bar Association threatened to institute legal action against Lasisi for the way, he portrayed the legal profession, in one of his comedy skits.
Meanwhile, his fans and sympathizers have come to his defense, arguing that the skit is just for humour.
