Relatives mourn

It's so sad that at this point in time in Nigeria, people still lose their lives over things that can be utterly avoided.

Lagos, Nigeria

A young lady has lost her life in a Lagos hospital due to power outage, as the hospital claims they have no fuel to power their generator Waffcityhot has learnt.

Aderinsola Adebola Elizabeth is a sickle cell patient who was admitted at the Epe general hospital where she was surviving on oxygen.

The sister of the late Aderinsola has narrated how her sister died after the Oxygen went off due to lack of power.

She wrote: ''facing the reality of life is one hard thing to deal with! I know so many people see me looking all good and smiley for the gram! It is not always easy to hide the pains but I have been a fighter, I haven’t been fighting alone! Side by side I fought the battle of life with you Sis! Over 3 decades ago we were brought to this life with the Sickle Cell anemia! M not even going to mention how we faced rejection from our father! But I know things didn’t remain the same after we lost our mom 1997! Since then we realized she has actually been covering a big space ... side by side we face terrible Crisis, life threatening pain! Let’s go for “ Sickle Cells Forum” that is ur anthem every Sat! But I hate to accept the fact that I am one! But as I said you are a fighter ! I had never been serious planning any wedding like I was with yours! Just so u know D.A I wouldn’t even bring out my camera to take pics if I know I would be wishing you a RIP with it! If I ever get mental stable i guess God has a plan! Nothing feels the same for me ...I know you are in Good hands, I was not just expecting you to leave this knife in my hearth! I had said you are very wicked .. say a lot of B.S in annoyance when i heard about your death but I forgive you! Not sure I would forgive my self for not raising the funds for bone marrow transplant as soon as I thought! My World has crashed once again! Now you leaving me with 3 kids to raise! Just know they r in save hands! You would prolly be alive if your first love didn’t let you down” ... if I had raised money for bone marrow transplant” .... if the management of Epe General hospital did their Job, you were trying to survive with a oxygen gas mask, after giving birth thru CS! Then boom nepa took light and behold the “No Fuel Excuses” just so u know if it’s possible I would split my lifetime with you! ... here i am lifeless, hopeless and saying a big thank you to every nurse that nonchalantly and sluggishly attended to my sis and another thank you to. @akinwunmiambode for killing all hopes I had in Epe, Lagos ... and this Great Country... Rest In Peace Aderinsola Adebola Elizabeth''

Why the hospital had no fuel to power their generator?

Why was I born in this shithole...


God why?

How sad and how hopelessly tragic! Another life cut short through the negligence of the hospital management board! I wish there were expert lawyers who could handle medical malpractice suits in this country. Epe General Hospital deserves to be sued from to to bottom. From the Medical Director to the doctors and nurses on duty, they deserve to be behind bars!

If they could not get a mere generator to power a ward, so that oxygen could be used by a patient, then it means their ICU unit would definitely be in shambles. Couldn't they make arrangements to rent one? Each year, the number of patients whose death can be attributed to negligence on the part of doctors and nurses, needs to be reviewed. And they need to be brought to book, to pay for their crimes. Every single life is precious. We cannot afford to lose any.

Finally, a bone marrow transplant is fvcking expensive (costs millions) and is not a definitive cure for sickle cell. I had relatives who got BM transplants, and still died months after the procedure from SCD. May God help us all. My heart goes out to the bereaved sister. May the Almighty God bring peace, healing and comfort to your soul....
