Monkeypox: Family Of Suicide Victim In Bayelsa Blames Hospital's Negligence. by fidefineboy(m): 2:03pm On Oct 18, 2017
Family of the suicide victim, identified as Perekebina Biu, has cried foul over the report of his death after few days of being quarantined due to the infectious disease known as Monkey pox.
Late Perekeme Biu, a father of three, was confirmed dead after he was found hanging from a rope at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state.
Emeraldng.com gathered that late Pere, was until his death the Treasurer of the Agbere Youth body and married with three children.
His father hails from Patani in Delta state while mother is from Agbere community in Sagbama local government area of Bayelsa state.
According to the family, the deceased was already recovering from the Monkeypox disease he contacted in Yenagoa before this sad incident.
Family sources are, however, blaming the management of NDUTH for negligence.
According to the family: “The late victim was in the hospital for treatment. And he was responding to treatment. But come to think about it, how did it happen? The Monkeypox victims were supposed to be in an isolated arera.
“Where were the doctors, nurses and other staff? Where did he get the rope? The hospital management has a question to answer,” a family member said.
The suicide victim, according to family sources had no record of mental case.
Contacted on the development, a staff of the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, who pleaded anonymity, ‎denied any act of negligence on the part of the hospital.
The Bayelsa State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Ebitimitula Etebu, had on Monday confirmed that the victim did not die as a result of Monkeypox disease and that it was professionally and ethically wrong to reveal his identity.

Yes,Hospital is the easiest thing to blame in Nigeria. Hired killer Doctors and Nurses. Na ungratefulness go kill 9ja pple. Where person no fit commit suicide? Is being in quarantine being in prison? Is being in quarantine being under watch every second? Yes,you have the right to look into the death of your family member but don't jump into conclusion.

Yes it is possible. Because the foods rich in vitamins and minerals that is responsible for erectile functions in males are very expensive and not affordable for many men in Nigeria today. You go see man wey suppose dey chop better balanced diet go just dey chop roasted corn upandan.

I swear.
U walk into an office to process something,d lady behind d desk will raise her face from where she's sleeping and shoo U away like "go go,I have headaches,come on monday".And they will accept it wtout protest.
But if they come to a hospital Wc is usually understaffed and overcrowded, they start raising their voice in spite of d fact that d workers there are obviously running helter skelter to render help.
The father rightly said d patient hadn't a history of mental illness,so why would he be under round d clock watch?

Nothing. I repeat, nothing will ever justify the reason behind taking your life or someone's.

Produce your statistics and compare the performance of both parties over time
As at the time APc came into power, half of the states were not paying salaries even when oil price was above $60
FG was equally borrowing to pay salaries
And the FG has granted bail-out funds to states after APC came into power
Yesterday, 18 Oct 2017, workers in Delta state accused the government of embezzling the bailout fund, same in Ekiti with Paris Club refund
But the default rhetoric is to blame APC

Okay my questions
Who else noticed the sharp rise in the number of Nigerian internet-based companies since APC came into power?
Who else noticed the sharp rise in the volume of Nigerian agric-based activities and projects since APC came into power?

They should sue if they think they have a case, but remember that Doctors and Nurses are Human being, and also have the right to sue them for false accusation, the hospital can sue them for defamation

E tire me o. Anyway, it is always expected. In Nigeria we hardly believe someone can die without no spiritual or physical attack. God bless the Clinicians of Nigeria, God bless Nigeria.

It is most likely that the patient was stigmatised at the hospital.
