Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death. The palace in Oyo recently denied that s...
A Nigerian woman has narrated how she lost her son due to her experience with a medical practitioner in the Ikorodu general hospital in Lagos.
According to her, she rushed her little boy to the hospital around 3:30 am, however, when they got there, the nurse on duty explained that the boy could not be attended to because the doctor on call was not available, and efforts to reach him proved abortive.
The nurse, however, offered the sick child oxygen to resuscitate and keep him stable till a doctor becomes available.
Around 5am, when the doctor eventually showed up, @Guccyoyin, claimed that he showed no sign of empathy and did not put his best foot forward while he was attending to her son.
the broken mum said she eventually lost her son around 10am on the same day he was rushed to the hospital, and even at that time, the doctor still did not show any signs of remorse for his actions.
She wrote;
My son had an attack around 3am in the morning on the 19th of July,2019. we got to General hospital Ikorodu around 3:30am, rushed to the emergency room and had my mom fill form for my son cos he needs to be attended to immediately… Unfortunately for us, the doctor wasn’t on seat or in his office and what the nurse said then was “I can do nothing to him unless the doctor is here” (in Yoruba) tho after helping with oxygen. Called his line it was switched off, checked his office he wasn’t there, nobody knows his whereabout.
When he was later Found around 5am, he wasn’t emotional, no sign of emergency act through him, he wasn’t audible enough when he started asking question, no first aid treatment except from the one given from the nurse, the worst part of it was that he kept insisting he wants to go pray (as a Muslim All of this was around 5:30am cos I kept checking the time.
He wrote all what to get… Ran to get them and got back. He told me to get another stuffs, went to get them… During this period he was already at the mosque.. He got back around after 6 and my son was already weak…He kept attending to other people (tho I’m not really against that but those people are not even emergency cases cos they were only complaining about headache or body pain) During this period my son couldn’t breath fine again and he said he will need to transfer us to ikeja costhere’s no bed to admit him.. to cut the long story short. I lost my son around 10am in the morning… No treatment given, no first aid except from oxygen given, all items bought was wasted, no effort shown at all, even at his death bed no emotion at all… I’m not writing this cos I feel I should write it… I already promised the doctor I’m gonna file a petition against him for incompetency… I don’t know his name but I know they will surely search for his name through their register… He was on night shift and he’s a muslim… If we don’t do this,
they won’t take government work serious. They feel government can’t do nothing to them that’s why they keep wasting lives 😡😠…
Please kindly help repost this 🙏till the government see this
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏
ps: my son was just 9 month 2 days then… I’m pained right now and heart broken as well
