Nigerians react as Lagos ‘emergency’ van in terrible shape goes viral
A viral video shared by Scott Iguma has sparked outrage and laughter online after he captured a rundown white van boldly labeled “EMERGENCY” with crooked lettering being used by the Lagos State Government to transport medical oxygen between hospitals.
In the clip, Iguma is seen gesturing in disbelief at the state of the vehicle as it struggles along rough roads. The van, which looked more like a scrap vehicle than an emergency unit, quickly drew reactions from Nigerians who questioned how such a vital medical supply could be entrusted to it.
Netizens flooded the comments section with both humor and anger. Some joked that the van itself looked like the real emergency, while others warned that its condition could endanger lives more than the actual medical crises it was meant to support.
“Imagine oxygen finishing on the way because the van broke down. Lagos, do better,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “The word EMERGENCY sef is tired on that motor.”
