This message is for both women and for men as well. Again, why should a woman not know to use protection until she has fully resolved the issue of poverty that will keep her from adequately raising her kids when she finally has them? undecided

You religious people are some of the most wicked arseholes on the planet. undecided

I tell ya. So because of that passage, you take it to mean it is OK to have kids when you absolutely don't have anything that rais them with? 😩😩😩😩

Ah! It is there fault that there parents chose to deprive them of a life lived in a mansion, abi? Wow .. 😩😩😩😩

Like I said, you religious folks are some of the most wicked entities on this planet and this reality is seen clearly among the very poor in Nigeria. They are many of the most religious and also many of the most wicked to their own children. 😐😐😐😐

Why should a poor man even nurse dubious ideas of bringing children into the world? The idiot couldn't even plan ahead, even the woman did not apply common sense. Private Hospitals are profit first. If you don't work in the hospital, you won't understand how people take, or took advantage of the Health Facility generosity; you know Nigerians are evil people naw. They utilized the hospital's services, then refused to pay. Some will even run away.

After poor man and woman don breed, multiply like rabbits, Dem go begin dey curse der children, dey blame them, blame leaders, blame hardship for their dumb decisions. Fk poor fertile people for stunting the growth of innocent souls. Fk em, fk em, fk em....
The bolded is very very true and that is the reason the wife died.
Nigerians always think they are smart by trying to circumvent the system.


My condolences to the man and his family.

Yet another emotional rant! Your friend's wife delivered conjoined twins, and so? Because of that, your friend and his wife should not have been expected to pay the bill. Or have enough resources to adequately cater to the kids, even if aside from any unforeseen costs of raising conjoined twins, assuming they had other medical complications?

The woman must have been pregnant for at least 9 months. Didn't he at least make some plans for the delivery? 🤔 If you knew you didn't have any cash, why take her to a private hospital and not a public hospital where the process is subsidized by government? Frankly speaking, this man is more culpable in his wife's death than the hospital. 😡

➜The experience is unpalatable...That's how i lost my twins last year September, my wife gave birth prematurely at home, I wasnt even around cos I travelled so had to tell her to go to her mom's place with my son...She didn't even know it was labor prior to that day tho she was feeling uneasy, it was around 2am she delivered them, thank God she was stayed with her mom, if not how she would have done it by herself and my 3 years old boy...After the delivery, they had to rush her down to MCC but they rejected her outrightly despite how she was bleeding profusely...they were told to go to General Hospital at Akodo or Island Maternity on the island, despite outrageous charges Mother and Child at Abraham Adesanya collected for antenatal yet they couldn't attend to my wife, they had to sent them away..
On getting to Island Maternity they discovered one of the twins already died while the second one was refered to Masssey Children's hospital, we stayed there for 25 days, we spent a lot, over 500k, buy these buy that, we paid for oxygen 3k a day, incubator 1,500 a day, and some other mumu expenses, different drugs, injections, blood transfusion nko...omo it was a terrible experience...still lost the other twin, but thank God my wife is hale and hearty now...Person wey hin wife born without stress or difficulty no knw wetin God do am...This country is terrible, nothing is working, just pray you don't have challenges beyond your power, if not eh, u go wail tire,
This your story no too clear! Ante natal was expensive? After birth, the two babies were rushed to another hospital for what purpose? undecided

Why couldn't the first hospital handle the emergency if money were not the problem? What was the reason that they gave? undecided

Please consider creating a thread to detail your ordeal so those who are pregnant and are, in fact, ready can also learn other ways things could still go wrong in getting the care they paid for. It is people like you who ought to speak out so we can better understand the true problems within the health care system itself. Unfortunately, they say it is the empty barrels that make the loudest noise. lipsrsealed

➜There is no virtue in making life harder for oneself and unwilling participants. The Koreans, the northern Europeans; most western countries in general, despite their better standard of living, are facing a decline in population thanks to reduced breeding. Many are smart to realize if they do not have certain resources to birth and raise a child or children, then they are better without.
Tell a black man that and he will immediately tell you stories of how the God of Israel, or is it Allah, mandates that he produce babies even in his poverty. undecided

Watch out for this particular man. The man go soon go carry another woman to impregnate before too long. I wish say someone know the man and where him live to report on this for us. grin

2 was enough though, considering the family's financial capacity. We are not in the farming labour era. Nigerians throw common sense and planning away and replace with spirituality and stupidity. God is even angry with us when we do that. Jesus reference to Luke 14 vs 28-30 should be your guiding principle. Enough with the emotional blackmail, stupidity, entitlement mentality and "anyhowness" that is a trademark of an average Nigerian.

Even in the best of planning, failure can still arise, but to not plan for something serious as child birth is painful and annoying.

As poor couples, you can have sex all day long in the midst of excruciating poverty , but use protection, or if you prefer it raw , get the female on iud or male to tie up and enjoy your raw sex while languishing and relishing poverty with hope of better life. Sex is good, but don't bring too many kids than necessary in to poverty. 1 or 2 kids should be okay till things improve.

The reality is that it is almost impossible in Nigeria for many to have 1.6 million naira. However, most government hospitals with a budget of 300,000 will cater for most emergencies including operation. Your benchmark will exclude 95% of Nigerian couples from giving birth. The worst carelessness is the one done where a couple with about 8 months of time to plan fail to save or borrow for emergency that child birth complications can bring. Saving 40k every month for 8 months, means they have 300k at birth period. That budget in most government hospital is a safe zone, some wont even spend up to 100k.

Registering for antenatal and going regularly also reduces risk of childbirth complications. These painful story does not suggest there was any antenatal done.

➜Nigerians can be heartless. My dad is a retired medical doctor. He worked for many years in a faith-based hospital. In the 2000s they will admit patients without a deposit. Patients will arrive at the emergency and their families will wail, beg, plead that the patient should be admitted and treated while they run round to raise the deposit. Immediately the patient gets well u no go see im family members again. Before u know am patient don abscond from ward. cheesy
I have seen so many videos of hospitals lamentiing this over the years. grin

The question I want to ask is this. Where did his wife do her antenatal? Because one of the things you get to know beforehand during antenatal is if surgery will be scheduled or not. You are even given a date where you come in and this date comes a few days before your EDD.

I know emergency surgery does happen sometimes. But it is very rare.

Let's not sugar coat anything. This man was negligent in every way assuming of course his story should be believed.
God bless you for the questions you raised. For those who go for proper ante natal, they will have an idea if they will have CS and they prepare for it.
It's unfortunate that the poor lady and baby died.

1. Nigeria will continue to go on if that 95% would prioritize saving up that amount over the next 10 years over having children that will end up a burden and a problem to the system. With a population reaching about 230 million and over 170 million of them living in poverty— over 24 million Nigerians are homeless with over 10 million orphaned and with no where to go —, they do not do anyone any good having kids, not even the kids benefit from being born since there is nothing for them as yet, where Nigeria is today. undecided

2. It is quite disturbing the behavior of people who are thought to be developed enough to be contributing citizens in any country.

i reckon that the average Nigerians is not pragmatic even with the benefit of western education, and tend to be self centered while covering up with spirituality. Parents who truly care will be laser focused on providing the best for their kid(s) with the minimal Resources available to them. Majority of these parents are thinking of having many kids , so those many kids can take care of them at old age. It is a shame that people breed poverty in folds for silly reasons. Only a mad fellow will carry a heavy load on the head and almost falling down and then decide to add more.

My advice to everyone is especially ladies.

Don't marry a man whose plan has no financial backings.

Don't be surprised that the same man is part of those who supports evil such as bigotry in Nigeria.

He practically killed his wife. He had nine months to prepare for the worst but he had none and not even friends to help out,no family members to help.

Shameless man for that matter. Just wasted someone's daughter.

See him all over the news shamelessly talking and talking when he should hide his face for not amounting to anything.

Now,I understand when my dad used to say,avoid men or woman who has no shame.
which bigotry?,you sound so stupid most times because of your mindset and the post election trauma and you are supposed to have gotten over it and move on…he couldn’t raise 500k to save his wife and child but he raised it after she had died…mumu man Dey feel for mumu man,is it not in the same economic situation that he later raised it.

I am still lost for words as to why people keep having kids or attempt to have them without having the funds to even give birth to these kids. I had one, and the stress was enough. I didn't want to have number 2. I had to make sure we agreed to enough help before number 2. Else, one will just die running up and down. A friend's sister also died while trying to give birth...both Mom and Baby. Now, the friend is raising the two children left behind, and she is struggling with her own even before this added responsibility. The question was...this lady already had a boy and girl, and yet this man, husband to a friend's sister, still wanted more children.... why are we like this? If we cant breed animals without feeds just cos we can, why do we breed other human beings without provisions? Fast forward a few years, and this man here would be expecting another baby with another woman...we don't learn. What a Shame.

These are the issues.

"The hospital rejected him" is the narrative that usually flies around. Wetin them want the facility to do? Admit and manage case way fit need higher-level care?

People should be asking these questions...let's stop hating and unfairly judging Nigerian health workers. Let's stop being emotional too.
Nigerians actually mistake referral for rejection.
I think that's down to ignorance and lack of enlightenment on health related issues and services.
Compared to people I've encountered from other climes, an average Nigerian lacks the basic knowledge of how health institutions function.
General health education is almost at zero level and that's unfortunate.

Do you people think saving money and providing money everyday for food are the same, a man might be making 30k everyday to feed his family very well without knowing how to save a scent
