@Firsttymum how bori? haven't read from you in a while.

Hello mums and dads in the house.
I ve been a silent reader since July 2015 and have gained much insights through all your contributions even though I already made all of my travel arrangements before finding out about nairaland.

I'm a Dec mum, came into Houston a bit early (sept 3rd) and poe experience was terrible. I was kept for about 3 hours and was grilled like a chicken. They kept asking same questions over and over again. I couldn't understand it, they weren't even aware I was pregnant, I declared it, also declared my $3k dollar cash, Mastercard, hubby's statement of account, doctor s correspondence, email to and from embassy on change of intent, a budget sheet, etc yet the guy said his
supervisor is not convinced and thinking of sending me back. He went through my phones and tablet, searched through my bag and purse, read every piece of paper in my purse. I was baffled, sat there wondering what he was looking for but I remained unruffled. After a while I told him that if I haven't convinced him with all I ve said or showed him then he should do whatever he feels is right. At this point he took my boarding pass and told me to go sit and wait outside that he has decided he was going to get my luggage. I sat outside and was already telling myself welcome back to naija. I got up went into the restroom, said a few words of prayers and came back out.
After a while the guy returned and called me in. Gave me my phones and my documents back and said to ensure all bills paid and keep all receipts too and said I'm free to go. I left there with my feet wobbly from anxiety, hunger and tiredness. What an experience!

Meanwhile I had my 2nd visit with Dr Fagbohun yesterday. He's a great guy. Put my mind at rest about some of my concerns. Apparently he's aware of activities on nairaland and said he gives his best to all of his patients but most of us come in with our opinion and don't listen to advise. Said truly he's busy but most don't come in with questions for him and when u have no questions there's not much he can tell u other than the basics. He advised that patients shld come in with written questions and he's always ready to answer and guide. He spent quite some time with me.

I ll definitely return here to give my delivery experience.
Thanks all. Sorry for the long post.

Aww sorry ! I've had similar experience with them dubai popo in d past! Flew qatar airways n got into dubai midnight and was walking out jejely as they stopped n cornered me into a room for secondary inspection unfortunately for me I had food sting for my family friend n d asked me to call the guy to come , I refused coz I didn't knw if the guy had stay n feigned I didn't have his contact but he knws d hotel I always stay n will come get his food stuff. Na so them Comot my top n made me climb one scanner that took me from one need of the machine to d other. I spent like 4 hrs there n our naijas that were on d plane didn't leave d airport I guess they were waiting to be d first to report d incident to Linda ikeji. Finally d discharged me n I told them to keep d food stuff or thrash them na so they begin laugh n asked me to take my things! I've never been so scared in my life, d took my phones n my money as this was going on cod I was wailing,.



Now onto dem dubai vigilante. ...
See me after I quietly sorted mysef out with Emirates n passed thru immigration n further through the regular security check points at the terminal.
I was enjoying music on my phone n gently strolling to the arrival exit to join my hotel pick up naim one over sabi airport sic l security on mufty cornered me just by the exit door to pls come with him. .
So we entered one room and he asks me to step in for machine scan wch I did no qualms.
Only for me to step down after the scan and the guy look me finish told me I had .....wait for it. ....... DRUGS in my stomach.
I'm like wah!
Please check again I said. ..wch he did and started telling me too come clean so he can mk things easy for me. .
Lucky for me I'm a light eater n didn't go out or got drunk were I passed out such that someone must have James Bond me into stuff shii in my guts unknown to me. ..
I aid please if must know, I have not had anything solid 24 hrs before now aside from the in-flight meal so if there's anything in there I must have picked it from Emirates meal. ...
He calls a supv n they give me plenty water to drink. .I told them to kindly call a doctor to perform whatever tests is legally required. .
In my mind I just said, see these guys. ..una go jejely do una test n wen una finish me I go quietly call lawyer n y'all gonna pay well done you got moni to burn.
After some couple of re scans the supv said. .sorry you are gud to go. .
I said u sure, he says yes n I quietly picked my stuff just as I was leaving I saw them bringing in more 4 naija dudes in. ..

You can imagine how much our young men have tarnished our image so much that even dubai weh dey beg people to come n spend moni are now profiling is big time. ..
Pitiful I must say. .

Bottom line is wherever you are going to and no matter how smooth allot of people ve had an easy passage please please and please guard yourself up and have your story str8.
Very soon Ghana n Togo ll begin to repatriate our citizens. ..

So that's me dropping my tori..

Now I'm chilling in dallas with ma team n romancing d bump for baby to come into the world. ....

I laughed so hard after reading the gibberish! Triplets ko! How convenient! Any triplets mum who goes there , does that at your own risk. Remember to come share your experience and the bills you incurred from the hospital they would have sent you to because the man has no business delivering triplets and above babies. Don't let anyone deceive you.

Thanks finance fitness.

No, it doesn't matter.

some of u here are trouble makers n absolutely do the most!!! A grown woman and a big shot manager (yes I had to put it) took her time to share her experience n u call it gibberish? If it is who I'm thinking of then it is unfair to try n play down on her " truth"! I wish she can let me post the pics of her triplets here or go to her Fb n see for urself! Na wa for some of u " NEGATIVE NANCYS"

You might really want to confirm that before you go all out for their heads.

And yes, her story does come across as a little too convenient.

i think we should just let some things go. its not everything the eyes see that the hands must type a response to

My own 2cents though

My dearest sister, it is not trouble making but warning other unsuspecting mums who might fall victims. It's because it didn't happen to you or anyone close to you. It has happened to someone close to me and it is very horrific. I will beg her to come share her experience. It was very sad to say the least but I thank God it ended in praise for her. I still maintain that the man and the hospital Are not equipped for higher order risk deliveries! Why cross all the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes,streams from Nigeria to the United States with a higher risk pregnancy to end up with such a facility or get exposed to such a nasty experience? Is it really worth it? And who says that 36 weeks of multiple pregnancy guarantees one of evading the NICU route? Let us properly guide one another here. Let us tell one another the truth and save someone from making a mistake she will regret later on.


Note: I am not saying he is not a good doctor . My take is that he is not equipped for higher risk order pregnancy deliveries , neither is Oakbend!

@Olokings, God pass them jare. Regards to your wife.

I understand your fears sis! I pray she comes here to clarify for everyone if truly she is the one I'm suspecting, only GOD can help us!

I wish I had this warning...

I wish I heard this warning...

@olokings,

Una nor hear say 33yr old Dubai crown prince just murd from "heart attack" ?

Anything passing through that country that looks slightly suspicious go hear am like na dem fault say dem pikin sabi chop life...

@nogen, @olokings @nefertitiram ,
Make una try cc woman pikin before Jwizzy do hin usual grim reaper stuff nah...

Now, I'm just racking my head for the brouhaha now.

Hahaha. .I never thought of it via that perspective. .hmm.....

As per the later I deliberately didn't say much buh I trust I tickled the thought process of allot.

Funny how the poster joined NL less than 2 hrs n the first, one and only post is the bomb.
Then I wanted to waka pass on the condition that the poster responded to the quote where someone requested for further details but he/she didn't.
That simply gave them off n affirmed my suspicion.

Yet I tried to downplay it by just dropping a pebble on the water rather than a full out tsunami .

I got no beef whatsoever buh my line of thought is its better the ladies (and dudes) take decisions with adequate info on the fine prints n not have to play R-Kelly "I wish" remix afterwards.
It's not a matter of good / bad, buh rather is just a master of sharing info to know whose the goose n who's d gander so that we know what's best for each if u get my gist.

How's yo precious doing. ..?

Hello people.

I had made up my mind not to castigate anyone on this thread but when I randomly visited this thread and seeing people go through what I went through in the hands of Dr Fagbohun, I thought it best to post my experience.
Yes, Nogen is right! Infact , after I told her my experience, she changed her plans and headed to El Paso. That is one of the best decisions she has ever taken. I feel consoled knowing I have saved one person from the crass treatment I got from Dr F.
I would say Dr F profiles his patients. I had a high risk pregnancy, triplets to be specific. He charged me an extra thousand dollars for high risk care, but I say without fear or favor that he never gave me any high risk treatment, in fact he didn't do more than an intern dr in Nigeria would have.
I remember my last appointment before my delivery. I told him, no, begged him, to please scan me,I needed to know my babies weights. A mother's instincts never lie. I wasnt eating well and was vomitting everyday, so i knew my babues would be small-for-age.Whether it was sheer laziness or lack of empathy, or the fact that he felt I was delaying him, I don't know. But he refused and told me to go to the hospital in a few days for it. I was even willing to pay the extra cost since it wasn't part of the package. ( I settled all my bills with him and Oakbend within a week of my arrival). I also told him I was having contractions, he waived it off as fetal movement.
Lo and behold, I got to the hospital five days after( i had to go ob the day he said) for a routine scan' and was told during my BPP/CTG that I was having contractions nonstop. This was around noon. Treatment started but didn't stop till 8pm when he appeared. Saw me from the foot of the bed( he's got poor bedside manners and Dr/ patient relationship) and said let's watch it. Next thing he leaves and the nurse says we are referring you. I said what? Where is my dr? He was on his way home. I picked up my phone and called him. I told him how sorely disappointed i was. How could he refer me over the phone? Didnt have the courtesy or empathy of even letting me know? He didn't even consider that one was on a budget, he just mentioned the name of the hospital like it was next door, it was so surreal as everything happened so fast. I couldn't believe I was getting such laissez-faire treatment in the USA.
He then came back and started 'shouting ' at me. I cut him short and told him he shouldn't speak to me like he was my school principal. Saying he has taken care of all sorts of patients, from Yaradua's daughter to the wife of the owner of Diff hospital, Abuja. Telling g me he was a prof in Luth before he left for usa. ( I no blame am, he looked down on me because I used to come for my appointments looking very ordinary, at that point, my looks were the least of my problems, because I was too sick throughout my pregnancy to be bothered about my looks). My sister was just shaking her head in disbelief and disappointment. Please note that this is just an abridged version of my experience, too busy at work to give explicit details. He kept saying I already have a patient with twins who has ruptured membranes, we can't take you in. Because I was like why can't you just section me here, I never planned to be referred neither did you tell me in the course of our interaction that you may refer me. You suggested I use Oakbend which is where you practise so naturally, they should have such facilities. Why make me register with a hospital that didnt have adequate facilities for my case?
When he noticed that I was no coward to tell him exactly how I felt, he then came to my side(for the first time) and patted me, I just turned m back on him. I also overheard the nurses whispering to themselves that there was only one NICU nurse on duty that night. I had to take the fall, I was the sacrificial lamb that had to pay for their short staffed personnel/lack of facilities.
He referred me to the best hospital in Texas ( I stand corrected) in terms of neonatal care, and even maternal care. In the long run and with the benefit of hindsight, I don't regret it because the lives of my babies is paramount and supercedes any extra cost I incurred. I got there that night in an ambulance and was sectioned a few hours after.
Dr F did not call me till a week after and asked - ' So how is it going?'. I answered- 'With?'. He said what was the outcome. Told him I had had my babies and they are all fine in NiCU. Started telling me the bills will reach hundreds o thousands of dollarsdollars(like I didn't know) and I shouldn't make any payment. Worst of all, he told me I should apply for Medicaid( and said I shoulnt quote him). He then asked me how much my bill was- told him 21,000. Said what will I do? Told him I had paid. He was shocked. He never believed I could afford such bills. He judged a book by its cover. And I feel he treated me shabbily because he thought I was a person of little means.
He now said anyway your check is ready at the office for your pick up. I told him I will pick it up when I get the time. I didn't have the time to pick it till five weeks after, four days before my departure. Maybe he thought I would have needed it to feed.
Even with the refund, I feel he shortchanged me because he charged me extra for high risk care which I never got. I was too busy to even follow it up and just collected it like that. As for my babies' bills, we made a substantial payment and got the rest waived off. God was and is still faithful. I don't even want to quote what the bills came to because even a politician in Nigeria CANNOT pay it. My account was adjusted to zero.
The long and short of the story is that please If you have a high risk pregnancy, especially high order multiples, run far away from Dr F or Oakbend because when the chips are down, he will drop you like a bad habit(over the phone) and whisk you away to another hospital/ Dr to handle your case, meanwhile he will have gained something from the rushed antenatal visits cost-wise.
A word is enough for the wise. I know that he may come here and read this and He would know who posted this because I didn't spare him one bit and tell you what, I don't care! The truth must be told. One love people.

Forevermine I see you o. My run away Houston mama

Yes o, sayoberry. I had to come back so that others will not fall prey. I was really hurt at first and that's why I kept away from naira land, but now that the dust has settled, I guess I will be visiting here more frequently.
I didn't even want to say this because I may be giving away my identity but what the heck? For Dr f to behave in such a a manner to a fellow colleague speaks volumes. Anyway, he will meet his waterloo one day.

God bless you @Forevermine. A word is enough for the wise. Thank you for sharing this at last. God will continue to bless your triplets for me. Hugs.
