..... I have close friends facing this same problem. Pple tell dem" stay for the sake of your kids", "God is against divorce", "don't let another woman take your husband". Like its a do or die affair. We should all know when to stop. As the saying goes, "the dead cant speak".

Prov 6: 16 - 19....."God also hates a proud look & a Lying tongue" etc but pipu go away wit ds all day & only remember 2 quote "God hates Divorce". D Bible says "d Letter Killeth but D Spirit gives Life". All ve sinned & fall short of D Glory of God. D woman with 5 husbands in D Bible was 4given.
My Dear, one mesage I ve 4 ur Friends is dat, Don't Condemn urself & Don't allow anyone Condemn U. Only God has D Power 2 Judge & He's Merciful 2 forgive.
Only d Sin of Blasphemy against D HolySpirit is unpardonable Luke 12:10.
Get ds books 4 dem;
1) Where is God wen it hurts by Philip Yancey
2) Divorce & Remarriage by Guy Duty
3) Marriage, divorce & Remarriage by Keneth Hagins

A colleague of mine told me about her yesterday ooo, that they were classmates all through secondary school. Can u imagine. Even the Catholic church that doesn't support divorce, supports separation especially when there is a threat to life. What a loss. That man must be from lucifer! But I blame ladies sometimes. Why did she keep quiet all the while; I'm sure this is not one-off. Whatever happened to the parents! They all kept mute till her death! It's so so unfortunate. May God forgive her all her sins, and grant her eternal rest.

if it's her husband who battered her to death,may God bless him
since nigerian women say marriage is for better for worse.
They rather die married than stay alive single because of what society will say
At the level of a consultant surgeon..chai!
The hottest part of hell reserved for her!!
If and only if it's her husband who killed her,I wish him the very best in his next marriage and all his life endeavours.

This is so sad. She personally operated on my child and was part of the team of Doctors for two other surgeries on him during a long sojourn in her unit in LUTH.

Dr Hestianna Thomas was so dedicated and passionate about her job and contributed so much in saving my kid. I had planned to acknowledge her kindness and the great role she played in a book I'm writing about the experience. You couldn't help but like her.

How could such a beautiful soul exit this world in such a horrible manner?

Rest in the bosom of the Lord, Doc.

No it's not a well known fact.. Hestia worked with me for years.. She came in in a pool of blood with a nylon bag over her head face smashed in chest and arms fractured.. Husband told us she had a history of depression and suicidal attempts and that her family know this.. For now we are working with that.. The family may or may not confirm this.. She's had a full body scan post mortem and is in the morgue.. Please don't speculate and cause unnecessary pain to her 2 kids

So she smashed in her own face and chest, then fractured both arms by herself.
Doc, just listen to yourself.

N.B-People who commit suicide do it in a fast, clean painless way i.e, a shot to the head, a jump from the bridge, running in front of a moving car, etcetera.
If she committed suicide, what was the weapon used. No suicide note for her husband and kids?

Kindly note I say all these respectfully. Just that I'm hurt at the demise of this woman....

Reasons why ladies should place love above "STATUS" in choosing a life partner, sure she turned lots of prospective suitors for her professional colleague, a feat that is common amongst the Medical practitionals.

Rubbish!
Who told you that she didn't love the man? Or she chose him because of his status?

.......I DONT HAVE TIME TO READ ALL THE FOOLISH AND STUPID COMMENTS HERE. BUT I AM ONLY HERE TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT HER HUSBAND HAS NEVER BEATEN HER AND HER HUSBAND IS NOT THE ONE THAT KILLED HER. ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING THE HUSBAND BEATS HER REGULARLY ARE LIES. THE HUSBAND IS A VERY GENTLE AND EASY GOING PERSON.....DR HESTIA STILL VISITED ME ABOUT 2MONTHS AGO AND I VISIT HER AND PLAY WITH HER CHILDREN REGULARLY. I KNOW THE HUSBAND VERY WELL TOO ...THEY ARE BOTH VERY COOL HEADED AND EASY GOING.ALL I WILL SAY FOR NOW IS THAT ...THE HUSBAND DID NOT KILL HER.

DR HESTIA'S MUM KNOWS HER DAUGHTER WELL AND SHE KNOWS THE HISTORY OF HER DAUGHTER WITH DEPRESSION AND SUCIDAL THOTS. ETC......GO AND ASK HER MUM ABOUT HER CHILD. THEN YOU WILL ALL KNOW THAT HER DEATH IS NOT A RESULT OF ANYTHING FROM HER HUSBAND AT ALL.

Thou doth protest much...

U are rite sir, men too could be. I use 2 know of a woman who maltreats her spouse, sends him on errands, 2 market, cleaning d huse, cooking etc. But it was more like she cast a spell on him. He eventually died misteriously. Yes if u say emmotional abuse, I agree But talking about physical abuse, I tink women are more of victim as dey are weaker in strength 2 fight bak. Just as women are 99% victim of Rape.
D truth is 'no one prays 2b a Victim'.

In anoda story, A guy once told my hubby his weddin almost didn't hold as he insisted d phrase "4 beta or worst" be removed frm d marriage oath. He claimed it wasn't Biblical dat it was man's idea & he wasn't ready 2 use his mouth & tie himself in2 permanent bondage. It sounded funny & irresponsible 2 me den but now I see some sense in it judging frm a different perspective esp considering naija mentality in issues of seperation.

@DALU THANKS FOR THE CLEARIFICATIONS.

@BREADFRUIT AND EVERY OTHER PERSON STILL SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THE CAUSE OF DEATH BEING FROM THE HUSBAND....ALL OF YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS VERY CORRECT. THE MUM VISITS THEM EVERY 2MONTHS AND SPENDS SOME TIME WITH THEM BEFORE GOING BACK COS SHE KNOWS HER DAUGHTER SO WELL AND AGAIN SHE EVEN PRAISED THE HUSBAND FOR TAKING CARE OF HER DAUGHTER.....

MY POINT AND MY STAND REMAINS THAT SHE WAS NEVER BATTERED OR BEATEN BY THE HUSBAND. THERES NO WAY A LADY WILL BE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP AND A FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE OR NEIGHBOUR OR FAMILY MEMBER WOULD NOT HAVE SUSPECTED ANYTHING GOING ON IN THE HOME AND THE INFO WOULD HAVE SPREAD OUT FAST. THEY ARE A NICE HAPPY FAMILY.

DONT COME UP HEAR AND START SPREADING STUPID BASELESS STORIES ABOUT THE HUSBAND BATTERING THE WIFE AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

I am suspecting this man,are you sure you aint the lady's husband? Cos the man hasn't been arrested,he knows the story has gone viral on social media,as far as I am concerned he may be the one typing this,trying to be on a defensive side right on his couch. Let me say the suicide,depression excuse doesn't work for me. Who are you to the family,you seem to know so much and taking sides too.

Heard her father is a Professor in Uniben.

What was their church looking at? I am sure they were preaching the same endurance and patience and see where it led to, with that beast of a husband.

The lady has always been serially battered by her husband.

Hmmmm! There are 2 tins I'll tell u which u shud keep at d back of ur mind;
1) Be true 2 urself. U alone can tell if u're d victim, wat u feel & wat u want. only u can rewrite ur story. Know D Bible 4 urself & don't allow anyone mislead u with isolated verses.
Opinions may confuse u. Engage ur mind & inner being more
2) If it must get 2d stage, do Ve it in mind dat Divorce is not enemity. Some marriages aren't meant 2b. Some pipu aren't just compatible. Never hate ur spouse. Never. Only tru 4giveness can u receive help from God. Its difficult esp if u're in pain but its possible & worth it if u try.
It is now I appreciate D Word which says Love ur enemies & pray 4 dose wo persecute u. I pray 4 my ex 4 God 2 change him & bless him wit a wife. 2day he's married & about 3mnth back, I saw his friendship request on my facebk page afta 8yrs of divorce & no communication of any sort. I ve 4given him yes but I didn't accept d request. U know why?.... Evrybody must not be ur friend grin simple! It is my past. Let it remain so. We met everyone in ds world at one point or d oda, so, let's stick 2 dose who make us happy.
My dear, I'll send u a pm, let's talk beta off ds thread. It will be well. Be positive

When I was in surgery posting, Dr (Mrs) Ididio-Thomas was exceptional. Her death is a great loss to us in LUTH.
But the greatest surprise is that, even the LUTH authority has not come up with the cause of death.
Everything is shrouded in secrecy.
Even up till now, no official statement has been made about her death.
It still beats my imagination how a battered body of a whole consultant would be brought to the hospital where she had worked all her life, and the management would still not be bold to tell the world what killed one of its own.
LUTH CMD, please do the needful. Reveal the result of the autopsy. Tell the world what killed our own amiable Dr. Thomas.

The thing about the bag on her head.. The evidence of previous slash scars on her wrists.. Not in the newspaper report.. I'm a surgeon by the way and I work in luth

I do not think there is a case of suicide that will result in that level of injury, except she jumped in front of a moving truck or train or down from a storey building.
