KnownUnknown: Because Christianity is inherently backwards. In more saner climes than Nigeria, the deplorable and despicable creatures are mostly Christian or whatever manner of religious malady they consider their faith.
If you go into a European church the atmosphere is completely different. They don't emphasise money like Nigerians do and service is over within a flash.
sherylbaky: English is not a measure of intelligence, it's just a foreign Language. Once you can understand the message they're trying to pass... it's cool
immortalcrown: I already said we do not know if she made any medical (first aid) effort before or after her tweet. I also said seeking solace or calling for prayer on social media is childish. She tweeting the incident is childish but the tweet is not what prevented her survival.
People were saying it's possible she was rendering first aid while typing.
I say nope. 2 hands applying pressure to the wound are better than one
TONYE001: I really did not want to respond to any of these comments about this incident but maybe I should just type a bit here.
You guys were not there when the incident happened. There are a thousand ways things may have occurred. As a matter of fact, she may have made that post after first aid has been administered. Perhaps she made the post while awaiting transport to the closest hospital.
How you guys managed to assume that she posted right after she got shot is baffling, and insensitive.
Are you a medical doctor? Are you a nurse? Have you been in a life-threatening incident?
I have been in dozens of scenarios in the hospital were victims of stuffs like this are attended to. As a matter of fact, I just returned from the theatre where we operated on a northern youth with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. I have also been in three life-threatening conditions. The most recent was some weeks ago when I had a road traffic accident.
Now, my point: It is normal to see patients operating their phones after being stabilized. Some may want to ring or text their loved ones to inform them of their situation. The same energy used in sending a text to a loved one is what Dr. Chinelu used in making that post. We have no right to query her for making a public post about her condition; absolutely no right! When I had the accident I mentioned, I sent a message to a friend and colleague at the hospital informing him of my situation. I didn't want to inform my wife immediately but I needed to tell someone. This I did after checking myself and the other passengers.
So, you see? You can't sit in your room and assume that the late doctor did not do anything about her condition. As a matter of fact, how much can she do for herself? She has been shot in her upper abdomen; her liver, diaphragm, stomach, and bowels may have been affected. She would be bleeding INTERNALLY (not just externally)....so could you please list the things she could have done for herself? Pressure on the wound? Would the pressure stop an internal bleeder?
Sometimes, when we try to sound smart, we end up being insensitive, or not smart at all.
My message is, we were not there. We cannot account for the events that occurred. Instead of attacking the system that failed us all, we have managed to attack a victim of the system. Why?
Please, Sir, let's be appropriately guided.
Where YOU there? False equivalence. Chinelo was not stabilized in any way. She never saw a doctor. She wasn't at a hospital.
What could she have done for herself? Any layman knows to apply pressure to a gunshot wound. And you can apply pressure better with 2 hands and not just one. She needed to be in the moment.
If she wanted to go online, at least tell people your location and ask for help to be sent. She instead asked for prayers.
Carlmax: Caused her own death by calling for help? I don't care if nairaland blocks my account but you are a dumb idiot for saying she was chasing clout... How do you want her to get first aid in the middle of an attack in the middle of no where. Think before you type next time
waze63: Very stupid, vile and insensitive post and blame casting upon a dead person, do you even know where she was shot? What if it's a part her body at which her hands can't reach out to perform what you call first aid for a bullet victim? She simply made that tweet because she needed help and believed the prayers of caring Nigerians on Twitter will help save her life. Gosh...
Ishilove: Stop using the Holy Spirit to joke because when the repercussions start manifesting, you will have no idea that it is something said in carelessness that is the cause.
TA4TA4: Examples of shared traditional practices between the Jews and the Igbos include circumcising male children eight days after birth, refraining from eating "unclean" or tabooed foods, mourning the dead for seven days, their unique apprenticeship system, omugwo, and many more
Ijoba85: I feel like someone has done the same to me too cos things are damn difficult and all those that usually assisted me financially have all left me ...I need serious deliverance , what do I do?
The holy spirit has revealed to me that's your mother is responsible.
Skyfornia: God doesn't destroy...He Creates, builds, repairs and recreates. He is not God of thunder...
But Devil steals, kills and destroys according to those who believe in him...so why didn't he maintain his trademark and show the man what he is capable of?
Don't lie on your God.
