larryUG: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) |

Creamypie: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. |
| Re: Sickle Cell: She Died At The Age Of 40 Years by Basic(m): 5:12pm On Jul 22, 2025 |
ThunderfireNLMO: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 😂 |

guobe: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. |

Basic:I called her to ask her genotype a moment after I typed that my comment, she's already told me she's AA You can imagine how I heave a sigh in my mind😂 |
| Re: Sickle Cell: She Died At The Age Of 40 Years by Judolisco(m): 5:25pm On Jul 22, 2025 |
Creamypie:Na lie bro, I don see plenty SS wey pass 40....though most dey die early but I've seen quite a lot.... I have more than 3 friends I know from birth that are SS and over 30,they are still alive... Jst occasional crises.... And they know how to manage themselves.... Dem no dey play rough play from small... Teacher must not beat dem sef in secondary sch |

ThunderfireNLMO: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. |

May her soul rest in peace. 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. |
