Either way, it's deadly but it's deadlier when it's simpler.

Oga, you don't have to insult anybody...if you have ever travelled the easiest thing to find on you is your passpot especially at the airpot. Do you need 30 seconds to know his nationality with his passpot on him?
You do not need someones passport or any ID to call 911 for emergency. EMS, fire, or police do not ask or care about anybody's nationality or even status, before responding to the calls.
Nah Yankee we de talk about bros.

I am not saying you need any form of identity to get assistance...I am simply saying that you don't need 20mins to figure out his identity.His passpot will be very handy...probably still holding it when he collapsed.Not just paramedics but airpot security will rush towards him as he fell.

aniiii: Go out and check your blood pressure. It is crucial for your health and well being. Remember that health is the most important asset and money is not. If you die prematurely(due to health reasons) who go chop am?

RIP baba cry cry
just to add to what you said, high blood pressure is not a joke, a lot of us walk around with a HBP without knowing or caring. Please my people always check your BP. Also reduce the amounts of salt intake.
Again, our men please control how much you eat an stop all this big stomach. Is a big desease. It pays you better to be skinny than big belly that can increase the risk of heart desease.

Don't mind the brainless guy,this is how a typical Nigerian thinks. Ask him how many extra-judicial killings are carried out by the Nigerian police everyday in Nigeria? Their thinking defied all logic.

You don't see a sick man in America, and start searching pis pocket looking for his passport or ID.Unlike in Nigeria the intent is to steal or defraud.

You are missing the point! Don't let naija tribalistic $h!t blind you when judging something that happened in The US. The EMS couldn't get into the airport entrance or wherever they needed to be to help the man because the security card for some reason won't let them. This has nothing to do with being a Nigerian or not and in a case of emergency or immidiately attention like this, no one talk of race, colour and all that until needed help is rendered.

Afam4eva: RIP

it's only when a Nigerian is involved that their card will not work.

You must have imagined somehow that they were told he was a Nigerian when the EMT crew was being alerted, right
On further review, would you say your comment is:

a) Smart
b) Dull
c) Dull-er
d) Dull-est



BTW, can you imagine what would have happened if he had the heart attack in MMIA, Lagos

u guys can all say wateva u want to say, but i still suspect foulplay! Sometimes i tend to believe those guys are even as racist as the British, if not Germans. They might have known that he was African, prompting their usual i-don't-care attitude they usually display when it comes to aiding foreigners. So if security card's not working, a completely innocent man has to die for it? And there were no ambulances within d premises that they had to send for frm the street?

Sad story

The Delta passenger who collapsed at JFK Airport and died at Jamaica Hospital — after his medical treatment was delayed at least four minutes because cops’ secure access cards didn’t work — is a Pentecostal minister and father of five who had just returned from his dad’s funeral in Nigeria.

Adekunle Ogunseye, 48, died early Saturday morning at Jamaica Hospital soon after he was stricken inside the newly renovated terminal 4.

The victim had just returned from his native Nigeria, where he’d spent the last two weeks attending to the funeral of his father, David, 85, said family friend, Babjide Oluyemi, 48.

To add insult to injury, Oluyemi said that Ogunseye’s black backpack -- containing a laptop computer and his Bible -- might have been stolen after he collapsed.

Two teams of first responders were delayed in reaching the victim because their electronic ID cards couldn’t open secure doors at the terminal at different locations.

Emergency medical technicians with an ambulance that was equipped with basic life support capabilities were finally able to treat him, but the snafu delayed better trained FDNY paramedics -- with advanced life support capabilities on their ambulance -- from getting to him right away, wasting precious seconds.

Ogunseye was declared shortly after he arrived at Jamaica Hospital.

A spokesman for the city's Medical Examiner said that the cause of death was pending, although Oluyemi said he'd been told that the preliminary cause of his friend's passing was a pulmonary embolism.

Ogunseye had sickle cell anemia, said Oluyemi, but he insisted his friend was in fairly good health despite the illness.

"He stayed active," said Oluyemi.

Ogunseye emigrated here four years ago after winning a “green card lottery."

He lived with his family in Plainfield, N.J., and worked at a deli in Scotch Plains, N.J., Oluyemi said.

The victim dreamed of building a church so he could resume his past profession as a Pentecostal minister.

He added that the victim’s family was “upset” and “outraged” at what occurred.

“There’s no doubt they’re upset. The family thinks he could have been saved,” Oluyemi said.

He said the victim's wife, Rose, is "right now, just sad and disappointed."

The dead man's brother, Adedayo, 45, who works as a management consultant and lives in England, was "outraged," over the delay, Oluyemi added.

"He's angry that much more wasn't done to save his brother," said Oluyemi.

In late June, just two days before he flew from JFK Airport to Ibadan, the Nigerian city where he was raised for his father's funeral, Ogunseye posed with his wife, Rose, and their three sons and two daughters, ages three to 11, in the parking lot of a shopping center.

The kids shown include, from left to right, Marvelous (son); Moriah (daughter); Mighty (son, the smallest child); Marth (daughter) and Manna (son).

The family is planning to hold a Sunday wake and service between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Judkings Colonial Funeral Home, 428 West 4th Street, Plainview, N.J.
