When I went for a hair cut yesterday evening, I saw the burial poster of a young woman on the entrance iron lock door of the shop near the barbing shop.

I went through the burial poster and discovered that she died at the age of 40.I was inquisitive and asked the barber what happened to her and he told me she was the person that had the shop the burial poster is and she had Sickle Cell and died from it's crisis.

She died behind leaving her husband with 4 kids.
I was completely broken with what she might have passed through in life.
So so sad.
I pray light guides her home .
May her gentle soul rest in peace.
So unfortunate. SS is like a time bomb..you ain't sure when the explosion is happening

Reminds me of a boy who was my friend. He actually made me his friend because he was just a boy. He liked me so much and always told me he is my friend, which people laughed over it.

He died at 20 from the same predicament.
My condolences brother🙏🙏🙏

This is why the govt should criminalize AS and AS getting married in the name of love, only to bring in children that will suffer
I agree with this. They should also criminalise dwarf getting married. If dwarf must get married they should go for artificial insemination. Where the sperm of another person who doesn't suffer dwarfism should be used for impregnation.

It deeply saddens me when I read about potentially curable or manageable diseases taking people's lives. What's particularly troubling is the mystery surrounding diseases that primarily affect Black populations - yet there is no investment in quality research to find cures or better treatments for these conditions.
We consistently find ourselves waiting for assistance from others rather than developing our solution to our own problems.

Thank goodness for Bill gate championing ending polio in the north
We still import Anti-malarial
The US saved us creating Ervebo vaccines for Ebola


Despite Nigeria having numerous universities and professors, none appear capable of finding solutions to the array of issues that particularly affect our race.

Fortunately, there are some promising developments: CRISPR offers potential cures (though it remains extremely expensive), and scientists in the UK have successfully helped deliver a baby using DNA from three people to prevent the child from inheriting their parents' genetic disorders.
Until more accessible solutions become available, all we can do as a race is wait helplessly as usual for outside "Saviour". Smh

An old classmate then died of it at the age of 7 or so. Also, a few months back, a former student of mine died of it just after completing secondary school.

Who to blame, parents and National Orientation Agency (they are doing a good job o but is needed).

The major cause of death is Acute Chest Syndrome (ACS)

No, some of them actually reach their 70s and older. The oldest woman with sickle cell in Nigeria's history died in 2020 at the age of 95. When I was in medical school, one of the oldest Professors of Medicine in the university I attended is a sickle-celler. And he was approaching 70 years at that time.

Truth is, the severity varies from individual to individual. Some will start having crisis from less than 1 year of age, while others won't even have any crisis until much later. Yes, most don't grow beyond age 30-40. But a few grow far beyond that bracket.

So, it's very possible that Adekunle Gold is truly SS.

Doesn't mean she's SS. Ask her to go for a test to confirm.

Very terrible disease, a friend once tried to explain crisis pain.

She said imagine someone putting boiling rubber in your joints simultaneously with fire.

I wept for her.

I always have a very weak spot for her.


But most of them no dey hear word 😂

Adeui ma, may your gentle soul rest in peace with Almighty God!
This reminds me of my beloved friend at Wesley High School, Oturkpo- Benue State Master Ogbole Ichapa that the cold hand of death snatched from us as a result of sickle cell complications. Master Ogbole continue to rest with the Lord.

Nonetheless, it's not by mouth, man. Many people's replies when you ask them how they knew they are AA is usually something like, "My mother said all of us are AA", or "We don't usually fall sick in my family", or "I do have malaria a lot." All these are grossly unreliable.

To be on the safe side, ask her to go for a repeat at a good lab. May you not fall asleep on a bicycle, my brother.

Everyone ignorantly talking out of both sides of their mouth, they don't know a thing about it just hearsay, it's not a death sentence, alot of people live with it past the age of 40.

Well I don't have sickle cell disease but our country's economy is killing me gradually.

And Donald Trump stopped funding of researches that scientists embarked on to find solutions to crisis like this! May God give humanity an insight to a permanent solution for this problem!

She actually had 4 biological children as a sickler herself? That's some great medical feat what with the attendant huge blood loss during child delivery.
Re: Sickle Cell: She Died At The Age Of 40 Years by GraceWilliams2: 6:26pm On Jul 22, 2025
My aunty died last month too. She's sickle cell. Leaving her three kids behind. I believe there will be cure soon.
