Why Igbo Leaders Kept Distance & Stayed Away From Ojukwu's ICU Bedside by DuduNegro: 3:27am On Mar 16, 2012
Ojukwu's autopsy was declined for fear the record will reveal the root cause of his sickness and death and could become embarassment in future when the record goes public. The Dim was not suffering from stroke, but an advanced stage of Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Reports that Igbo leaders and authority figures abandoned Ojukwu on his sickbed is true. Their fear was in self-preservation against the risk of contracting the disease in a close proximity contact with the victim. These ethnic leaders and authority figures were also believed to have advised against earlier arrangements to have open casket funeral for the Ikemba. Based on their guidance, the corpse would be delayed and kept out of Igbo land until the last few hours before burial. The tact was to delay and prevent unecessary contact with the living before the casket goes into the ground.

That means Nigeria gets a refund.
In Igbo tradition AIDS is considered an OSU disease. No?

SOUTH-WEST REPORT
[size=16pt]In Ekiti community, 10,000 people struggle to see one doctor[/size]
...Monarch laments plight
By Charles Adegbite
Friday, March 16, 2012

A trip to the sleepy town of Ayegbaju-Ekiti, Oye Local Government area, Ekiti State, recently, exposed the plights of many Nigerians in term of healthcare. Or how do you justify a situation where a community with over 10,000 people does not have access to a doctor?
“If education could not be for all, at least, health should be for all.” This is what the people of the town are saying. They believe that without good health, people can neither have sound body nor sound mind. A healthy people, they say, are a wealthy people.

The town has a police station, three public primary schools, private nursery and primary schools and a public secondary school. The Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, under construction, is just a kilometer away from Ayegbaju. The ward secretariats of the Action Congress of Nigeria {ACN}, People’s Democratic Party {PDP} and the Labour Party {LP} are conspicuously located on the main road in the town, among other public and private establishments.
To provide for the medical needs of this town is Ayegbaju Health Care Centre, built in 1968. It was then a maternity centre upgraded to a primary health centre several years later. But looking at the medical needs, the Owa of Ayegbaju Ekiti, Oba Solomon Olawanle Adeloye, is not happy:

“We have nurses in this health centre who are performing to the best of their abilities. But my people want at least, a doctor to be coming here regularly, having specific days for consultation, when people can come with the assurance that if they come they will see a doctor to attend to them. If he cannot be a resident, let him be coming often, say twice or trice weekly. Let him have fixed days and time for appointments.”

Chairman, Facility Health Committee, Ayegbaju, Chief James Ojo Ogungbe, said: “There is a doctor at the Oye Local Government headquarters, Oye-Ekiti, who comes here on shift basis. They use to transfer doctors from the state Ministry of Health to oversee the health facilities in the local government. The doctor goes there without having a fixed visiting or consulting date. At times, he may go there once or twice a week, during which he won’t carry out any medical consultancy work but only administrative work.”

It was gathered that the doctor was assigned to 12 wards that made up the local government, whose population is over 10,000. The doctor was said to be in charge of not less than 16 health centers. In view of this, the doctor only carries out administrative work, and hardly has time for treatment of patients.
Dr Wole Olugboji, former Commissioner for Health, had told the people to stop relying on the use of herbs. He said lots of dangers are associated with the use of herbs and other local medicine. According to him, inability to get accurate dosage of those medicine and failure to determine the side effects are the major challenges.
But, the people of Ayegbaju Ekiti are compelled to patronize herbalists. Oba Adeloye said: “In case of this health centre, we have been putting our request to the governor. One of the things we want in this health centre is the fencing of the whole building.

“When this place was still a maternity centre, a woman gave birth here and one lunatic entered. When people saw the mad man they all fled and left the baby. The place also needs a staff quarters. If they are leaving within the centre, if there is any emergency, it will be easy for them to get to work.”
Health Commissioner, Prof. Sola Fasuba, frustrated all efforts to get his comment because he was not ready to talk to the press.
