EfemenaXY:

This is just so sad. Haunting. I keep going back to look at the pictures and each time I do, it stabs my heart. It really does.

Girl children are precious o! (not saying boys aren't) but as a mother, this is really affecting me. @Bebe2: pls answer baby124's question. What's the next step with the family. Have you taken up the suggestions about available good hospitals with specialists who aren't on strike?

bebe2:
I advise o, I dont knowvwat goes on wen I drop d fone.
dats the problem wit distance, am in the UK so cant neccessarily do the leg work my sef.
are there specialist hospitals dat are opened?

ifyalways: Sorry, but why is this girl still at Benin?
Is the OP seriously looking to save this girls life or just a pity party thread?
This girl should by now be at :
Reddington lagos
St Nicholas lagos Island
Eko hospital, Maryland
I don't understand

ifyalways: @Phema, what IF your diagnosis is wrong?

Well, your opinion which I can't fault but I won't fold my hand,waiting for death for such a young child, especially given the fact that she's not being to a "good doctor". If she must die, let it be in the arms of a good, competent doctor not e-diagnosis, trial and error approach by quacks etc. That's me though.

I dunno why but I'm just angry with the OP, her family and the way they went about this issue.

I won't give up on my loved ones, never. Not when they are alive and still breathing. I will fight and try. . . Yeah.

chaircover: The truth is that if there is no money, they cant take her anywhere
@bebe you can tell them a hundred things, but its really finance that they need to be able to follow up on those things

If you really want her to go to Reddington or any of the other hospitals that have been mentioned, you may need to send someone there to get a phone number/email details of one of the specialst doctors.

Speak to the specualist yourself and tell him/her that you are bringing your neice. Give him/her as much background as you can.

Ask them how much the initial fee that they require and obtain their bank details and pay it into the hospital account direct.

You will find that when that is done, your inlaws will take your neice there and treatment can commence.

Finance and mobilisation is what is needed.

aisha2: Another case was a girl with cancer, I visited the hospital paid the bills and gave the mother 15000 for drugs they may request, I also got enough food items and provisions, only to hear 2 days later that the girl had died, they needed 5000 for chemo which was highly subsidized and the mother said she didnt have, I was so mad and asked what she did with the money she said she paid her tithe that the tithe had been gathering and also sowed a seed she was owing, she didnt even seem to care, she had 6 other kids so I guess saving the life of one was not a priority.

baby124: Wetin pastor's don do for Nigerians. Its like they have taken leave of their brains and put faith in a man like them. No be the same God arm those doctor's with the brains and talent to treat you? Na wa o. If you like sleep in church for 10 years, your prayer is not more effective than the ones who are praying in their homes, and seeking appropriate medical treatment.

aisha2:

When they start with "My Pastor said I shouldnt believe Doctors report" i ask them what they use to cook? When they answer i tell them next time leave the pot on the stove dont light it, sing and pray for so fire can come from heaven and light it for you, also while waiting for fire to light your pot run and sow a seed, come back and have faith that your food will be ready. I dont understand why you wont have faith that food will cook itself but you will refuse to take medication because a pastor said so

baby124:

A lot of these religious leaders in Nigeria today are murderer's. Because they have exploited their congregations blind faith all because of greed. It is very painful to see. I believe the government should start arresting such pastors, who encourage their congregation to abandon adequate health care only to encourage them to give up money meant for their health, and they turn around to spend this money on frivolous things like private jets. It is the biggest and most destructive fraud going on right now in Nigeria. It is not isolated to Christians alone.

aisha2:

Truth is that you can give the money and it will get diverted to the pastor, believe me, I have seen this too many times. I cry and wonder why I seem more concerned than even the parents.
Forgive me for digressing this is not the case here but in my years of working in these settings I have seen too much, Some parents may even turn the child's illness into a money spinner, collecting money from different people yet doing nothing.

Was it not some years ago here on this nairaland, we saw a case of a boy with a growth on his mouth, raised money and it was given to me to send instead of sending directly to the account giving by the "Uncle". They said they were in UNTH, okay, I got in touch with the UNTH Officials the social welfare unit and we paid part of the money into the hospital account so the boy could be treated, believe me I didnt rest, i settle case tire, the mother would call and cry that all the money people were sending to the uncles account he diverted it to buy a car and rent a better house, I told her not to worry and concentrate on her son, one day she called lamenting and i asked which was more important the money or her sons health No answer. Later, I got a call from the social welfare unit that she had gone to make trouble asking them to refund "her Money" that she is taking the boy to a church while he was being treated oh, they said the money was in the hospital account and only for treatment, when I called her she started asking me if I didnt want her or her son to eat, i told her the money we donated was for treatment and not for feeding, the curses i got that day, hmmm. later she got someone to call me and pretend to be a welfare officer saying I should send money for drugs through his own account, I called their HOD and found there was no such welfare officer.

soulglo:
How do people live a quality life when you are constantly bombarded with issues like this. I don't think I am emotionally strong enough to deal with the craziness of all that. This is why a lot of times Nigeria seems so distant to me. Even when I visit I find myself enjoying the solitude only. I can't deal with the mentality of day to day Nigerian living. I just can't. Frustration would just make someone join Boko Haram just to find dumb ass people like that woman and put a nuke up her as5

bebe2:

Godmystrength: Even the religious leaders go for medical check-up abroad oo

aisha2:
Bebe you have tried jare, as I always say I cant love you more than you love yourself, you cant love their daughter more than them. She is asking you oceans away to tell her where a hospital In her STATE is. If my child was ill, even if the hospital is in a cave I will find it
