Man.

We all need to check our blood pressure regularly.

I've been seeing health issues happen to even young people in their 20s.

I've normalized checking my BP every Sunday.

Mr death is headquartered in all Nigerian ICUs. People die in dozens there every nite. It was at an ICU in one hospital in the eastern part of Nigeria that I realised that Mr Death is a being.

I say ehnn, ever since that experience I've been a humbled man.
People are going through endless pains there, pains that could end by only praying for death yet they can't die.
One was significantly confessing, shouting and pleading with death to come to her rescue not even God anymore.
She was burnt like a roasted barbecue yet she was still alive.
Could you imagine the pains of being burnt all over from hair to toe? Yet death was far.....omor thank God for good health oo.

illicit:
Most people in ICU are either conscious or semi conscious or sedated

I mean that they can't pray

It's not about praying, it's about the endless pains.
I saw a woman burnt like a roasted goat yet she was still alive screaming with her all body white pale due to the fire.
Goodness sake!

We know already, just to wreck GEJ.

Mine happened when I was ten years old, I fell sick and got admitted in hospital... My condition at the time was stable, but kept deteriorating over time, I had to be transferred to another hospital outside of my province... I stayed there for about two weeks before my first surgery and my parents would sometimes have to go back home as they had other priorities back home, my brother was the one who'd normally come and see me during afternoon visiting hours since he was schooling in the same province I was transferred to and his school wasn't that far from the hospital.

A day for my surgery came and things seemed promising after the procedure, even though I was still on oxygen, things seemed to be headed to the right direction... My parents were by my side for a couple of days and the doctor finally decided to get me off the oxygen since my condition had seemed to have improved... My parents then had to go back home in Limpopo and I remember within a couple of hours after their departure, I started experiencing this heavy feeling within my chest like it was compressed altogether, I complained to one nurse about how I was finding it difficult to breathe properly, she alerted the doctor and they put me back on oxygen while they monitored me through the night.

My doctor came back early in the morning to check up on me before he left and it wasn't until I had my breakfast that my condition turned for the worst, I started hyperventilating to a point that even the oxygen wasn't helping anymore, when I attempted to speak, my voice couldn't come out, I felt myself struggling to exhale by the minute... I was immediately attended to by this other doctor that I didn't recognise, he quickly prepared me and rushed me to the ICU together with the ward's senior nurse, I actually thought I was dying by that moment... After getting to the ICU, they tried getting hold of my parents, but could not reach them.

I was then placed on this other oxygen which had this weird smoky smell, I managed to whisper to the senior nurse that I was thirsty and needed some water to drink, she promised to get me the water, but I quickly passed out, when I woke up, I found myself on a life support system and I was being attended to by this other female doctor... My doctor then came and explained everything to me, apparently I had developed an infection after my first surgery, he also told me how they've been trying to get hold of my parents without any success since as a minor, they needed their consent to conduct another surgery on me as my condition was now critical and required them to conduct an urgent surgery ASAP... So in my parents absence, they took it upon themselves to go ahead with the procedure... Because it was either they wait and I don't make it or they conduct the surgery without my parents' permission and save my life.

I honestly didn't care, I was just relieved that I could breathe again even though I relied on a ventilator... I think my brother had an exam that day, so he also couldn't come and see me... Few hours later, two new doctors that I've never seen before came to fetch me from the ICU to the operating theater, apparently they were assigned to perform the surgery on me by another doctor, I was attended to by a variety of doctors that day with their different specialities.

The following day my brother went to the children's ward like he'd normally do during afternoon visiting hours, but upon getting there, I was nowhere to be found, he was then directed to the ICU and when he got there, I was asleep and the sight of me being surrounded by all those different hospital equipments terrified him... From what he told me, he only stayed for a few minutes and left... He got hold of our parents and instructed them to come to the hospital ASAP for I was dying and from that day on, he stopped coming to visit me... My family arrived in the middle of the night and at first they weren't allowed in since it was way past visiting hours, but they explained to the nurses and doctor how they're from another province and drove to the hospital as soon as they heard the news of my condition.

When they came in, I was awake, but still on a life support system and my wrists were restrained to the bed because the doctors feared that I might start overreacting as a child and harm myself in the process... My cousin only looked at me once and left, he waited outside... I could see in my parents and aunt's eyes that they were also terrified by my condition but trying to be strong... From that moment on, I had to be strong for myself and fight because I could see the hopelessness in everyone's eyes.

I stayed in the ICU for a couple of weeks until my condition became stable and I was moved back to the children's ward... I was taken off the ventilator machine and placed back on the medical oxygen, but I still couldn't speak or eat solid food, I'd use a note pad and a pencil to communicate with everyone... My brother then started visiting me again upon hearing that I was out of the ICU.

My mother would later open up to me about how at one point, she had started preparing herself for the worst, but here am I today healthy and happy...😃😃😃... I'll forever be grateful of those doctors who teamed up together to save my life...☺️☺️☺️

That's my survival story.

Any human wey enter ICU come out alive is a real life testimony.
I helped a family of strangers push their dad from ward to ICU one midnight at a federal hospital.
Immediately we stepped into the ICU I swear to my creator we got froze for 3seconds, I and the guy whose dad we were carrying. Infact the man fell off from our hands because we froze.
Do you know why we froze for 3seconds?? The doctors immediately had to rush to tap us to regain consciousness.
Oh my goodness!!
Patients in ICU are miracles.
I saw people living in hell in ICU.
People praying for death at the ICU ,while Mr death is somewhere staring at them.
Ever since that night, I've been a humbled man.

Consider am well oo. 👂

Impeachment that cannot hold waters. They are just wasting their time.

The last politician I will ever trust in my life and afterlife is Kwankwaso.

Adufeamos:
This has turn to competition between 2 commissions cos of their gains.
Case not closed but the news said ,another commission has taken over....I see Lobbying here for this case.
Honestly EFCC AND ICPC should be merged. EFCC should be an arm of ICPC but this is Nigeria. God help us

If truly say he withdraw petition, forget it. The case had been sorted..... forget the news propagandas.

PepeXKermit:
No, he has achieved his aim. His aim was to remove that guy...which has happened

Yes, that's why I said it's a win win for both criminal billionaires.

One resigned at another's mercy, the other dropped petition for achieving his aim thereby gov dropping all charges for another's claimed crimes.
Nigeria is like Netflix.

They're cheering Trump not protesting

PulaPower:
Wrong

I saw the video on CNN

She wasn’t trying to kill anybody. She only started her car to drive off & she got shot multiple times..

That was a clear murder..

The officer must have felt a sense of attack directly or indirectly.
Although to me, this is clear murder. I don't know for others.

helinues:
Bro, as earlier predicted, sebi the election is just a year plus, this is the time for them to take their country back from the people who have been defender her from same them.

Very funny and twisted people

Why are you concerned about the election?? Well, because you know your APC will definitely rig it right??
Shame on you, are you not concerned about your ignorance at all?? Upon everything that has affected your people the most you still support evil .
Even though APC will vehemently retain power come 2027 it's still a shame to you all tribalistic b¡g⁰ts.

Thank you Lord, hallelujah 🙏

Too many sick comments up here. This is our major problem in Nigeria, tribal bigotry and it has really damaged our unity in this nation.
God forbid !!!

oyeb15:
Wike always support someone by mistake all his life.
Soon, he will be saying it around that he support Tinubu by mistake.

Wike is not smart. At a time he was d strongest man in South South politics. He supposed to wait for d right time to strike.
Support Tinubu in 2023 to deal with Atiku. Good. Take no position from Tinubu but plant your people in his government. Strengthen d PDP. Chase Atiku out and bring northern politicians like El rufai etc. Be a leading voice in tackling d present government and it's bad policies.
In 2027 ,run for president and pick El rufai as ur vice. Promise 4years to correct d mess.

He just took FCT minister and bury his political relevance. Wike is done politically.

Easier said than done. Politics is not about being smart or not, even the d**best man could grab power in Nigeria if they play by the system.
Just play by the system and have money to throw.
You really think Tinubu would be d√mb to allow Wike's men in his government and not Wike himself?

Procashtips:
Let's not forget how many chances he has wasted so far this tournament.

Hungry indeed. He should just keep scoring the tappings he's getting assisted for and leave real tough chances for those who can do it.

Tappings indeed.
No Wahala shaa, Osimhen no be my brother I no go defend am to that extent.

Murketeer:
Ah … Onyeka should play wing ?

Omor, that guy is versatile.

femi4:
That guy has got bad character. Everyone cannot be wrong about you

Only him, rude to Ikpeba and Finidi...and wouldn't listen to his captain

Hardwork takes you to the top but character keeps you there

Yes, that's right he's got ego, he's just a street Lagosian who spent almost his childhood at the streets so he doesn't give respects when disrespected.
