na so snake Dangerous?I killed black like this in my visitors toilet few weeks ago.that’s seriously serious o

BarrElChapo:
If you can leave this country, pls do all you can to leave. A snake bite should not kill a person in 2026, if we are serious as a nation.

If you like leave Nigeria and relocate to Australia, you and snakes will be dragging space in your compound

Being bitten by a cobra could be very fatal.

Shonghai:
Only few Teaching Hospitals has it in Nigeria

na lie.Why is it not everywhere?snakes are eveeywhere na.anyone ca get bitten.

I just saw an article alleging one prominent politician saying another one has only spent 8 days in the country this new year of 2026. No need to name names but it's thread related when common medical resources are not readily available in two whole hospitals in the FCT.

RIP to this young soul.🕊️

She tried for herself. She died because she was in Nigeria.
She ran to 2 different hospitals, and there was no anti venom.
The same thing that made Oliver De Coque to die in the Federal medical center Abuja.
There was no oxygen in a federal medical center.
When we say Nigeria is a useless country, people will say we are demarketing Nigeria.
May Nigeria happen to them someday.

Rest in Peace 🕯️

You need to find out how the snake got in there and block the hole...it is also possible it came in through the water cistern

May her soul find peace with the Lord!!

Can someone knowledgeable educate us on remedy for snake bite in matters like this to save life. Be it medically, scientifically, herbally, native ways or otherwise.
Thank you in advance!!!

God bless u.i hope ur questions gets answers that will help all of us.

Very sad....preventable waste of life.

Sjv1:

At least when they bite me both snakes and/or spiders. I will not be told there’s no anti venom.

Emeskhalifa:
But why is it like that? Is that there is a law that stops other hospitals from having snake antidote in their facilities? Cox this won't be the news of this occurrence and it is annoying at same time scary. Could be anyone next time

Her death is quite painful. Thoughts and condolences.

No law is stopping them. It's just that anti-venoms are expensive, need proper storage, and the snake has to be accurately identified by the victim for it to be effective.

Nigeria has no effective emergency response, and bear it in mind that some snake venom kills as little as under an hour.

So you see some of the complications involved?

Judolisco:
antivenom differs.... It depends on d type of snake... And also d potency of the venum.... Some snakes ehn... Before u reach hospital sef u Don go oh

na lie.una come Dey scare me

Nigeria Has Failed Her, May Her Soul RIP

Yet some people would want us to avoid killing snakes in the name of conservation! Any animal that poses a threat to human life should never be spared! Kill all snakes wherever you find them.



RIP to the dead

So do I. I cant stand the sight of snakes.

There are polyvalent anti snake venoms that can be used for most poisonous snakes in this region. Nigeria is just not serious with her healthcare system!

I understand now. This is very sad

No details about the type of snake that bit her.

The attached picture is obviously a random picture pulled from Internet.

Rip to the dead..

Let us go back to our root.. moving Hospital to hospital looking for anti venom, while there are traditional herbals leaves and roots you can take to neutralise snake venom..
How many of you know that the Black seed inside pawpaw fruit can cure cough and cattrh instantly?
We need to review our over dependence on oyibo medicine

My condolences to her family..

How does it work?
Chewing it raw or boiling in water?

To be on a saver side, you can keep cat as a pet in your house.
It scares them

Nigeria hospital no get antivenom

Me too.
Infact me 3.
Me 4

She would've gone to teaching hospitals. Private hospitals don't usually have anti-venom . Sad

When you kill a snake all these annoying animal activists will be capping nonsense......See how that devilish creature has ended this young lady's life now.

RIP to her.

I know of that pawpaw seed. There was a time I had cough and the medicine I bought at the pharmacy don't seem to be working and my neighbour told me about the seed. At first I thought she was joking but she sounded serious and I had to try it.

To my surprise it worked like magic, the only challenge I had with it was the smell and hot sensation I felt while chewing but I forced myself to do it.

NOETHNICITY:
Very touching story
Our hospitals need to up their standards

Standard? You are correct Sir.

But in this case, I don't think the Hospital erred.

She was bitten by a Snake.

You only administer Anti-venom based on the snake type as we are taught in school. It was after she passed that Snake catchers were sent to her house and the snake killed.

Not a good way to die. May God Almighty comfort her family.

The only solution is to get anti-venom from a hospital. Except if one is lucky that the snake bit but didn't inject much venom.

There is not one anti-venom that works for all snakes. The anti-venoms are snake type specific

Emeskhalifa:
But why won't hospitals have antidote for snake bites for fk sake??

Asin ehn

MOST PRIVATE HOSPITALS ARE MANAGED PRIMARILY FOR PROFIT MAKING. THE RARELY HAVE CASES OF SNAKES BITE. STALKING ANTI SNAKE VENOM WON'T BE PROFITABLE BECAUSE MOST OF THE DRUGS WILL EXPIRED IN THE SHELVES.
IF THERE'S ANY CASE OF SNAKE BITE, GO TO A GOVERNMENT OWNED HOSPITAL AND YOU MIGHT BE LUCKY TO GET TREATED.
OR RATHER LOOK FOR A NATIVE HEALER AROUND YOUR AREA.

Which one go cure snake bite?
