Of what use will that be? Cases are already rising. Expect a geometric progression the the following weeks.

It's really getting funnier and scarier. Imagine having a positive result when you don't have the virus. Imagine the fear and heartache for the people around you. Nigeria should double-check all test kits that come in, but no, we won't hear.

How much is 20 litres?

So he wanted to pray and he went with a video crew?

No matter what anyone says, China is lying about their figures. They were economical with the truth from the start.

When will Udom man up and do this? Right now, Almajiris may likely be the most effective distributors of Covid19 because they are everywhere and will most likely not respect the social distancing and lockdown orders.

The so-called youths will not read this and be prepared. Information is power and the power to vote right lies in our hands come 2023.

This may not be the whole story.

Women are very stupid sets of items

Rephrase that because the only item here is you. You have no sense and never will.

1240, 1241. Those are the numbers I saw.

What game is Udom playing with the lives of Akwa Ibom people? All these hyping of standard isolation centres is purely rubbish. I realised the truth about the politics ongoing in the state on Covid19 issue when I read about the mishandling of the late Dr Dominic Essien's treatment at the so called Ibom Specialist hospital (which I posted here). Akwa Ibom is simply playing politics with the lives of its citizens.

The good thing is that Covid19 respects no position or authority, it will find them, the so called leaders too.

Unfortunately, I read this. I've been sorta scared about finding snakes in my toilet for some days now. I really shouldn't have read this. And that pix just did it for me.

No light this month, yet they brought the bill.

Why did they make that type of mistake?

My mother? Even if she's guilty, you come flog her for my presence!!!!!


That'll be the moment I'd unleash every ounce of evil and heartlessness from within!

Just the way we all paying for the stupidity of Adam and Eve, same way I'd make sure the policemen, thier families and those related'd pay as well.

Simple. I'm too angry to comment sef.

Mine changes constantly. Right now:
Songs of Angels-Judikay
Toya- Tim Godfrey
Too faithful- Moses Bliss
Man of War-Prosper Ochimena
Virtually all songs by Nathaniel Bassey.

Ps
The post said "Favorite Nigerian Gospel" but folks are listing foreign songs.

I am glad I am a child of God. I am not afraid of judgement day. I don't care what the world thinks. Christ in me, the hope of glory. Thank you Jesus.

I usually don't go back to sleep when it happens to me.

Buhari understands he is no longer safe from the virus.

The only thing I would say to you OP is that if you were my younger sister, I would thoroughly beat sense into you.
Go borrow sense if you don't have it.

It's escalating. God help us all.

Mehn!!! If what I just read is true then I will say it loudly.

My brother, we are deep $h**yte.

With this narrative, I wonder why government is claiming there are ready when they are not. If they could treat a fellow Dr that carelessly, it means the common man has no hope. God help us all.

DEATH OF DR DOMINIC ESSIEN- MY STORY.

This Epistle is my chronicle of the last 32 hrs of the life of the late Dr Dominic Essien who died on the 16th of April 2020. He was a Lecturer, Medical Doctor, Physiotherapist, Administrator and Entrepreneur.

As fate would have it I happened to have been played an active part of his last hours on earth and I was the last face he saw on earth.

PART ONE
About 9.30pm 16th/04/2020 I received a call from Dr Essien to come provide Anaesthesia for a patient who was to undergo Caesarian Section in his hospital, the surgery ended about past 1pm, Dr Adeyeye of Obstetrics and Gynaecology UUTH was the surgeon. I went to his office for my payment and noticed he was looking ill. I enquired, he said he wasn't feeling well, that he's been coughing for about a week now. He said he had a history of chronic cough from youth which could be sometimes debilitating. I was later joined by Dr Adeneye who also for his pay. He wrote out our checks. We noticed he was in mild respiratory distress. We checked his saturation, it was 75%. We administered 2g of Rocephine, 100mg of hydrocortisone and nebulized him. At this point I had to leave as I was on call at my PPA.

Past 8pm when I had some breathing space I called him to ask how he was faring. He said he was still at his hospital. As an Anaesthetist I knew the import of his condition, my conscience couldn't permit me to go home. I immediately went back to his hospital, met him on oxygen via nasal prongs yet his saturation was still below 80%. I told him he couldn't stay there and needed help. He chose to go to ISH.

With the need for ventilation in mind, I asked him to call and inform Dr Edubio of his condition which he did. Dr Edubio also favored ISH. He requested I drove him in my car. I gladly obliged.

PART TWO.
We arrived ISH about 10pm, the doctors on duty were called and the drama began. They said they couldn't attend to us because of a COVID scare that had already sent some their staff into quarantine. They said they had no idea whatsoever of the activities of the COVID team and even adviced I take him to IDH ikot Ekpene. I told them we were going nowhere and urged them to defer to their superiors since their hands were tied. At this point they requested I called Dr Aniekeme Uwah, the State Epidemiologist for the way forward. I did, thankfully he picked up and ordered that the patient be admitted into the Holding area for suspected cases and the Management Team invited to come review him. Only then did they agree to move.

We went in search of the COVID team and bumped into Dr Emmanuel John, gave him the situation report. He promptly went to work, calling the COVID doctors on duty. when they finally soughted out his accommodation, they discovered another- there was no oxygen or at least the means of delivering it. Then John made frantic effort to get the hospital technician to sought us out to no avail. There was clearly a great divide between the COVID team and the that of the hospital. I then volunteered that we go pick up the cylinders from the patients hospital. Dr John immediately activated the Ambulance driver.

By the time we got back to the Holding area we were informed they realized the pipeline oxygen was working. Dr Essien was finally placed on oxygen by past 1am. I helped connect him to the monitor and eventually left the hospital past 2am. By this time his saturation was below 70%.

PART THREE.
First thing I did when I woke up was to update Dr Edubio of Dr Essiens condition, he promised to check on him. I later called the doctor on duty for update. I was told his condition deteriorated but they managed to keep him alive. He also said the management team which consisted of Specialist Respiratory physicians had arrived and were attending to him, with that information I was rest assured that the needful would be done.

I am by no means related to the deceased but by the time I was leaving the hospital I was the only caregiver around, he requested I brought him his house keys from his car in the morning.

On arriving the Holding area at about 12 noon, I met fully gowned person who happened to be Dr Utuk Snr Reg O n G shouting for oxygen to delivered to him as the pipeline oxygen was exhausted. I felt I could be of help and so requested for PPE. I gowned and went in. I discovered there were 2 full oxygen cylinders but no regulators to supply. The narrative changed from bring oxygen to bring regulator. I don't know how long the oxygen finished before I arrived but from the time I arrived to when I got the regulator was at least an hour. I connected the regulator and the patient finally got oxygen. By this time I was left alone with the patient as Dr Utuk got tired from waiting and left. Dr Atat also of OnG was giving support from outside. Dr Essien actually improved after receiving O2 for some minutes and even requested for food. I fed him with few pieces of moi moi provided by the hospital.

By the time I returned him back to oxygen he never really improved beyond 40%. I requested for assistance, for someone else to come takeover from me as I was suffocating from the heat generated by the PPE and the poor ventilatory condition of the room. I was told the protocol didn't provide for "sit in" PPE. In other words, you come in, do your thing and go out to come back only when needed. I was forced to stay back longer, knowing fully well he needed close attention as he now was very restless. He pulled off his face mask repeatedly and his canullaI dislodged. I couldn't replace it because my goggles were fogged with perspiration and poor vision.

After spending more than 2hrs with him under difficult conditions I had to move out. During this time I was giving Dr Edubio situation report every 20-30 mins with the hope that the call for ventilatory support would be activated. It never came. It wasn't up to 20 mins after I came our attention was called that he was no longer moving, the monitors went quiet, the inevitable had happened. I had asked why the call for ventilatory support was not made and was told they were waiting to rule out COVID first.

As you have noticed that Dr Edubios name has been recurring throughout this whole episode from the start. It was intentional. That's because I know him to be the only Intensive Care physician Anaesthetist in the state, it never passed my imagination that a team could be assembled where the use of ventilators was an integral part of it's working could be constituted and an Anaesthetist- (The only specialty with the technical know to use it) was not part of the team especially now that every case of difficulty in breathing is assumed to be a suspected case of COVID until proven otherwise. I naturally assumed he was part of the team but from all indications he was not.
No critical care nurses. The two doctors manning a critical care patient were obstetricians.
Poor coordination between the hospital staff and the COVID team.

By the way Dr Essien was not the my first victim of the day. My last action at work before going to pick our fallen colleague was to refer a 20 year old patient who was unconscious and not responding to treatment also having difficulty in breathing, they elected to go to Ibom but were rejected for the same fear of COVID reason. He died on transit to UUTH. I think the fear of COVID has killed more people than COVID itself.

As we await the results of Dr Essien's post mortem sample. I pray that the authorities responsible would put their acts together.
May the soul of Dr Essien be a wake up call for all of us. God bless.

He died two weeks after o, or two weeks before o, the main thing is he is dead. "What is dead may never die"

Thank you for opting to be the human guinea pig for the betterment of humanity. Here lies the massive difference between a white person and an African.

God above everything. Man is dust and to dust, he will return.

They saw an aura surrounding you. You are potent even if you aren't aware

My grandpa was a Rosicrucian.

He does several mind over matter stuff. He was Pisces and I am a capricorn, I guess that's why we gel together most often than his other grandkids. I got exposed to a lot of esoteric stuff. I was young and intrigued. I never saw all that he taught me in a bad light. One would say I was made to see what the world thought of as weird or evil as an essential path of the cosmos. He was grooming me, I guess. But then Teenage angst set in, my hormones changed. I lost interest in all those stuff. I can still see his disappointment in my mind. He had long moved on to the other side.
But men, can he do things!!!
Imagine an ant stopping in its tracks once you command it.
Imagine water boiling suddenly on it's own accord.
That's my grandfather

Yeah, I can relate. Mind over matter. You know the funny thing? I was already exercising this when I was little. I knew I had the power to do these things and did them on occasion just to see what will happen. But I remember I really had power over animals and could influence them to do what I wanted.

The truth is as far as I can remember, I was a praying child, and had visions and spiritual encounters before I was 4. If I tell you some things that I experienced, they may sound far fetched. And btw, I'm female not male as some here think.

Ayt27:
That's some heavy stuff brah, especially since the occult middle name is "secrecy". Were you born again at that time?

Yes, I was. And he knew. And I wasn't just your usual Sunday Christian. I was a firebrand. That's what made me wonder. With hindsight, I think he knew I understood and could manage the Spiritual to an extent, and probably thought I wasn't going to get spooked by something like that anyway. Or maybe he was just trying to entice me to the other side but who knows?
