➜how can she work to save up money when she's pregnant?

SAMBARRY:
➜ finally you have exposed yourself as a full fledged pickmesha. You're looking for male accolades on nairaland, right?

Kobojunkie:
So, women no fit work during pregnancy is the line you are going for here, abi?

bestfriday:
You are just talking rubbish.....is oath that will put food on their table, is oath that will pay workers salary when months end

SAMBARRY:
➜not as effectively as she would when not pregnant thus making her unable to make the type of money that'll take care of her bills

Kobojunkie:
1. Loving what man? I am telling you the woman is equally culpable in this case, and you are going off about always loving a man... what the heck for?

2. The wife was equally good for nothing since she could not provide her kids with a better life either. I mean, she chose this man to be their father, and ended up dying with the third, even with 9 months of preparation time, which she could have used to avert this disaster.

Kobojunkie:
How in the world did you come about this conclusion of yours? Which kain backward disgusting delusional claim is this, abeg?

You mean to tell me that those pregnant nurses, for instance, who chose to work until days before labor, are not to be trusted because, according to you, they were not effective workers during that period?

How can life be so cheap?

DrFunmisticGlow:
it is that hope and that 'God will provide' mentality that has made him a widower.

When a thread reached FPsome day's ago that people should book/save/ prepare between 2-5million to prepare for the birth of a child, a lot of ignorant comments littered that thread.
This is truly an unfortunate case of one corpse, two lives.

May they RIP and may the man have the strength to grieve his loss

Kobojunkie:
Pregnancy is a 9-month gig during which those who are intentional would have not only prepared themselves for that final emergency to come but also done all necessary to ensure they are prepared as far as the bill to come.

This here is a sad story indeed, but I can't really fault the hospital for choosing to protect its bottom line either.

Kobojunkie:
Calling out both the man and woman means I am seeking male accolades? Are you that cheap in your reasoning of things?

Cmanforall:
It is a sad story. But like you wrote, there is a 9-month period to prepare. The man should take some blames, and not the hospital, especially for this reason. Who knows if the hospital do have maternity services? If he had deposited, say 10% of the requested deposit, who knows the hospital might have commenced treatment. The situation he narrated shows the hospital referred them to a government hospital, where they might get better treatment and a cheaper or even free rate. That wasn't bad from this private hospital. Moreover, if he didn't have enough money for deposit, he should have gone to a government hospital first. I think private hospitals can be expensive because of the bills and salaries they need to pay.

Sad situation, but hope Nigerians would learn.

SAMBARRY:
➜so of what use is her husband then? Is a dead man not better than him? At least with a dead man we all know he's dead so what's the usefulness of the husband if he cannot provide for his wife and children? Ok his only usefulness is to be fucking and Impregnating his wife every 3 eke market days abi?
➜ You're part of the people encouraging men to be useless and only to be useful in the other room

kpankpangolo:
Na Africa you dey come marry when you poor. Na you do yourself.

She will be replaced. We’ll see him in six years with a new wife and kid. He’ll brag about how they are his world. Life continues. Nigerian hospitals are death traps. Slowly, I’m beginning to agree with Boomers who have a fear of untimely death from visiting them.

The most ignorant advice poor people spread is that blessings fall from heaven when you marry. It is not true. Idiots fall for it. I will never. I will rather birth children at seventy years old with all the funds to take care of them than at nineteen with no hope for my next meal.

Kobojunkie:
. Again, the adult woman who is now dead chose to marry that very man as give him as father to her children — yes, those children are equally hers. She chose him for a husband and father to her kids. She is not a victim in this.

2. On the contrary, I am rather highlighting the fact that women are not victims in marriage/relationships but partners.

pocohantas:
I saw the news somewhere else and was surprised at the mortuary looking hospital that requested 500k deposit. To do what exactly?

I thought they passed a law against this deposit before attending to emergencies?


Pregnancy can go either way in seconds.
One has to be very alert and close to a trusted hospital.

Government hospitals in Lagos will try to stabilize the patient in the emergency ward first and ask the family member to go do documentation.

PHIPEX:
You are worse than the govt

Cmanforall:
➜If this is true, then the hospital suggested a better option for them due to their financial situation. The question should be, did this man leave immediately to the government hospital or he was hoping the private hospital will change their mind, thereby delaying his wife the opportunity for emergency care in the government hospital?

Macmilla:
➜Let us not forget that children are very expensive venture from beginning till end. I don't know why we have placed so much attention on having plenty children. He was telling the wife to stay for their children but he doesn't have anything. "Children" means 2 or more children at home. What else was he looking for when he doesn't have money and is obviously not credit worthy?
If your monthly income in this current naija is 250k or less, do not have children.
If it is between 250k and 500k, have only 1 kid.
Between 500k and 800k, you can have 2 kids.
Between 800k and 1.5m 3kids.
Above 1.5m, 4 kids and never go above 4kids no matter what you earn.

TechCapon:
i saw this heartbreaking video on twitter today.. mehn naija is a horrible country but u won't blame the hospital.. they must have gotten their finger bitten before that made them harden their heart. Must u go to private hospital? There are even local yoruba women that give birth to babies for low income families. For them to request initial 500k deposit means its an expensive hospital. didn't she go for ante-natal? what happen to the hospital she was using all these while?

If anyone tells u Nigeria is getting better, take them to a govt hospital for just one day and let them experience first hand what's going on there.
See Nigerians see and treat other Nigerians as animals.
May Nigeria not happen to me and my family. Amen

hotspec:
Wicked people everywhere. What happens to the Oath they swore, to always protect lives? They chose money over mother and unborn child lives! The wickedness of some politicians we condemn is nothing compared to some people with little power. What goes around will definitely visit (come) around for them

As much as they would want to defend the commercial aspect of their business, their primary business should be saving lives. Human lives should mean something to them.
