Our field worker was with him last thursday.
I spoke to him on thursday and i plan to go see him very soon
We communicate with him all the time (we've spoken to him today)

With regards to his cognitive state, there really isn't anything to report. He is anxious as expected but hopeful things will get better

Babymama1:


Is he at home or in the hospital

Themaingate:
I will be straight to the point

@Tehn you guys have wrong me in no little way but for the sake of this dj I forgive you guys

So, we don't really have a rough estimate on how much it will take to get this brother out to India/US or somewhere better? I am sorry but I am of the old school block who believe in miracles. I strongly do believe also that if we can have a united front, we can look back at today and just go speechless in thanksgiving.

So, I would suggest that the fund-raising starts again. The politicians won't help us now (not like they had) because they are all too busy with their campaigns, so they are ruled out. Any ideas on how we can raise something really substantial? Atleast let it be said that we covered all options.

With regards to your first paragraph, "every" information you require has been provided in the updates/responses by Jaybee...stuffs about treatment cost circa N4M, targeted Chemo offered in Nigeria likely to be same in India, etc


Re, your second paragraph, "again" if you go through Jaybee's update you would see info about a caveat emptor/diagnosis now being investigated in New York...the Politician gentleman after personally phoning DJ, posted a promise to chip in following a "final diagnosis" being gotten...yes it's been 66 nail-biting days investigation started on the patient at this hospital, but fingers crossed a miracle would happen and New York hospital will give him a clean bill of health certificate with the good news that he is healed and free...amen.

What a topic.
I know we Nigerians believe in miracles and have a lot of faith but I hope we can also be more realistic and practical in approach to this situation. Esp for those talking about flying this young man to India. I don't think that is a realistic idea. too risky ( plus imagine all the confusion and drama that will come out of it). I like the idea of focusing on quality of life care for him at this point or following doctor recommendations.

Maybe when this is all over, THeN should come up with a concrete mission statement and strategic plan to guide in ways to make the organization more efficient going forward. this is important because people will stop contributing their hard earned money if they don't see results. or if they thought that their previous contributions went to waste.

Maybe it's just me but I don't like the idea of emergency fund raising esp on a very large platform as this. It leads to issues. it's better to have a pool of funds already (through yearly general fundraisers etc) and then with a clear head, one can choose good candidates (the criteria should be laid out in the strategic plan which should be drafted by board members). assess their needs (I think patients should already have a diagnosis or needs that are clearly articulated before coming to THeN for help. again this is a criteria that should already be created) set a budget, timeline and go through with helping them. This will lead to less worry about money or being defrauded by doctors or getting new diagnosis updates that leads to surprises about the amount of money needed, lack of information that leads to panic and confusion etc.

Overall, this is a really great effort and i'm very impressed by Nairaland. WOW

I tried so hard not to comment on this thread, especially with how things had turn out, insults and fighting like APC against PDP, while they are all same Nigerians being controlled by same clueless leaders.
While you made a great point, I disagree with the bold part, though, disagree with more, but the bold stood out for me.

Would you agree that this young man might not have kmow what is happening to him till today if the ThEn never got involved? Many are dying like chicken in our run down health care system all cos they can't afford the scan and check up and all that, so if many MUST wait to know what kinda sickness it it, then the name of this TheN might as well be changed and just be in the business of donating caskets.

Inasmuch as they could have dine more, [b]I think they deserve everyone's praise, their prsence and that of God opened some doors to the young man.

I duff my hat to some individuals as well that worked behind the scene and yet not a member of TheN...... I am proud to be a Nigerian and our future is bright, to all donors, God bless you and to those that wished to give but couldn't, God will provide and to those that did leg work, finger work, God be with you all.

To the young man, you will live and not die..... once next step is known, Fhemmmy motors and the management will be part as well.

The expertise of the administrators of this chemo as a form of cure will go a long way in its success. . . . . . . ..

Busybody2:



But neither Red101 or anyone on this thread or the previous one has ever said TEHN does not deserve praise, "nor" was any one of the numerous fights that transpired here "about" TeHN!! So rhetorically "speaking", why can't we wait till this "critical case" is over "first"?...

Just stating this because I was one of those caught up in those fracas which I couldn't make head or tail of, because all I only came to state was that this hospital was haemourraging money and time that DJ doesn't have, Babyosisi/Babymama1 felt he should go to India for diagnosis and treatment...and "if" I have any issue with TEHN, I would definitely not deal with it on "this" thread/platform...

aderonila18:
And please the fact that someone has stage 4 cancer dosent mean all hope is lot. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer about 4 years ago. It had spread to her lungs and other organs. We went to the US and they basically said there was no need to do a mastectomy since it was already stage 4. She was given hormone drugs to suppress the hormones and help to slow down the cancer, when she got back to Nigeria she did some chemotherapy and since then she's been very healthy. The first doctor that saw her basically said she had very little time left yet it's been years and she is doing very well. The doctors have been shocked at how well she's doing.definitely it is God's mercy

So let's keep giving our all to help him either with money, time or advice and we pray ceaselessly also. With God no case is ever too bad, we need to keep helping DJDOLA and not lose hope. It could be anyone

aderonila18:
I have spoken to an NGO about DJDOLA, they would like more information about the diagnosis and recommendations from the doctors. Also they would like to know exactly how much it will take to get him treatment in Nigeria or fly him to India if necessary. Has he been referred to a doctor in India? Have they given him an estimate for treatment ? What about tickets and family member accompanying ? Basically how much will everything cost

The pages of this thread are so many and it's hard to pick out the relevant information. I would appreciate it if someone ( I know DJOLA. May not be able to do that now )can email me with the needed details so I can pass it on to the NGO. They want to have an idea of exactly how much he needs before they reach out to him personally because they don't want to give him false hope if it turns that they don't have enough money to help him .

Could you recommend that same doctor in Nigeria to the TheN, maybe they could talk to such

jaybee3:


We do have a mission statement and our strategic goals and plans are published on our page => https://www.nairaland.com/1315227/e-helpers-network-tehn-official-thread

Obviously there is always room for improvement and we welcome suggestions on our to make us better.

We always asses each individual case before taking it on board after which we set measurable targets to measure success at each stage of our agreed/published plan. I’m only highlighting this because you mentioned not seeing results which is factually incorrect. You can view some of the cases (Please focus on the summary report) we’ve been involved with on our page


We have long realised that our modus operandi which is slightly reactive might not be as effective as we would like but we are now putting systems/steps in place to address this.
Some of the steps we are putting in place is to:
1) Formal registration of the group as a charity organisation
2) Once we achieve the registration, we will then proceed to open a dedicated account that can be audited periodically when needed


Thanks for the feedback though
