Abeg, whats th e storyline of the movie?

And if they are not careful, this is what will lead to their loss in 2019.

wonder233:
Let me educate you: The closest alternative is called 'blood substitute' which works as an intermediate vehicle for oxygen conveyance until the individual's blood production facility (the marrow) can heal up and return to full production capacity.
For non life threatening cases, this can work, but in life threatening cases, you don't have that time, you need BLOOD!
So, stop coming here to say everyone is stupid just to justify your warped religious beliefs.

And stop running your mouth about something you are half educated about. You are online, why are you just lazy like them to search the google for bloodless surgical operations. Get yourself educated before talking trash.
And have you confirmed the story? How much of the details surrounding the womans condition do you know? Do you know whether there are other complications besides blood issue? And, is the doctor 100% sure the woman will not die even if blood is given to her? Many have taken blood and die and many have refused to take it and yet live.

And you can emphatically say that all JW use their HMO and never visit public hospitals

He never said that. Not all cases require using HMO.

My only grouse is with the Nigerian healthcare system; you don't need anyone's permission to do what you have to do to save a life! You took an oath to not allow factors like money, bureaucracy, dissenting opinions of non-medical professionals, etc derail you from your primary duty of preserving life.

Yes, your grouse should be with the doctors for knowing an alternative but refused to use it because they are lazy.

maasoap:

See contradiction!
Brainwashed brother, what will doctors use in the place of blood?

Imagine what you just said. Anyway, you can read more about alternative to blood transfusion. Make use of google, you will learn. The issue is that most naija doctors have refused to upgrade when it comes to issue of blood transfusion and this is because they are just too lazy.

tehinse1:
D story is entirely false.
1. Jehovah's witnesses don't take blood transfusion.
2. But they have specialist trained doctors that has the experience to provide adequate health treatments without the usage of blood.
3. Rather than taken blood transfusion, professional doctors have been given alternate drugs dat can reproduce high volume of blood within a short period of time.
4. Jehovah's witnesses ve high value for lives and they don't engage in anything that can jeopardize one's life.
5. Jehovah's witnesses has several HMO accross the gbole, within each countries and state. They are always on ground in case like this at any location, all u need to do is to contact them and they will respond to ur immediate needs without any charges even to the point of seeking professional treatment outside the country if the case is out of local doctor .
6. If someone wife has been on labour for the period of 3days, and yet nothing meaningful was done. Then the questions is: Are they truly a Jehovah's witnesses? Do they notified their congregation elders as regard there health case.
Note: it's not all those who claims to be a Jehovah's witnesses, that are truly a witnesses.
Such one might be an interested fellow, who just started attending Jehovah's witnesses meetings but even if that is the case, he should have made his situation known, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But i still doubt this story.

Thank you bro, you nailed it.

Its obvious this story was cooked up to mislead the public about JW cos many things there does not add up. But, the op and others like him should remember that no amount of misleading informations on nairaland will change anything about JW.

Reasons why JW dont take blood:

Christians are commanded to ‘abstain from blood’
Acts 15:28, 29: “The holy spirit and we ourselves [the governing body of the Christian congregation] have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled [or, killed without draining their blood] and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” (There the eating of blood is equated with idolatry and fornication, things that we should not want to engage in.)

Animal flesh may be eaten, but not the blood
Gen. 9:3, 4: “Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to you. Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.

Only sacrificial use of blood has ever been approved by God
Lev. 17:11, 12: “The soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for you to make atonement for your souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul in it. That is why I have said to the sons of Israel: ‘No soul of you must eat blood and no alien resident who is residing as an alien in your midst should eat blood.’” (All those animal sacrifices under the Mosaic Law foreshadowed the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ.)
Heb. 9:11-14, 22: “When Christ came as a high priest . . . he entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance for us. For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh, how much more will the blood of the Christ, who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to the living God? . . . Unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place.”
Eph. 1:7: “By means of him [Jesus Christ] we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.”

How did those who claimed to be Christians in early centuries C.E. understand the Bible’s commands regarding blood?
Tertullian (c. 160-230 C.E.): “Let your unnatural ways blush before the Christians. We do not even have the blood of animals at our meals, for these consist of ordinary food. . . . At the trials of Christians you [pagan Romans] offer them sausages filled with blood. You are convinced, of course, that the very thing with which you try to make them deviate from the right way is unlawful for them. How is it that, when you are confident that they will shudder at the blood of an animal, you believe they will pant eagerly after human blood?”—Tertullian, Apologetical Works, and Minucius Felix, Octavius (New York, 1950), translated by Emily Daly, p. 33.
Minucius Felix (third century C.E.): “So much do we shrink from human blood, that we do not use the blood even of eatable animals in our food.”—The Ante-Nicene Fathers (Grand Rapids, Mich.; 1956), edited by A. Roberts and J. Donaldson, Vol. IV, p. 192.
Blood Transfusions

Does the Bible’s prohibition include human blood?
Yes, and early Christians understood it that way. Acts 15:29 says to “keep abstaining from . . . blood.” It does not say merely to abstain from animal blood. (Compare Leviticus 17:10, which prohibited eating “any sort of blood.”) Tertullian (who wrote in defense of the beliefs of early Christians) stated: “The interdict upon ‘blood’ we shall understand to be (an interdict) much more upon human blood.”—The Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. IV, p. 86.

Is a transfusion really the same as eating blood?
In a hospital, when a patient cannot eat through his mouth, he is fed intravenously. Now, would a person who never put blood into his mouth but who accepted blood by transfusion really be obeying the command to “keep abstaining from . . . blood”? (Acts 15:29) To use a comparison, consider a man who is told by the doctor that he must abstain from alcohol. Would he be obedient if he quit drinking alcohol but had it put directly into his veins?

In the case of a patient that refuses blood, are there any alternative treatments?
Often simple saline solution, Ringer’s solution, and dextran can be used as plasma volume expanders, and these are available in nearly all modern hospitals. Actually, the risks that go with use of blood transfusions are avoided by using these substances. The Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal (January 1975, p. 12) says: “The risks of blood transfusion are the advantages of plasma substitutes: avoidance of bacterial or viral infection, transfusion reactions and Rh sensitization.” Jehovah’s Witnesses have no religious objection to the use of nonblood plasma expanders.
Jehovah’s Witnesses actually benefit from better medical treatment because they do not accept blood. A doctor writing in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (June 1, 1968, p. 395) acknowledged: “There is no doubt that the situation where you [the surgeon] are operating without the possibility of transfusion tends to improve your surgery. You are a little bit more aggressive in clamping every bleeding vessel.”
All types of surgery can be performed successfully without blood transfusions. This includes open-heart operations, brain surgery, amputation of limbs, and total removal of cancerous organs. Writing in the New York State Journal of Medicine (October 15, 1972, p. 2527), Dr. Philip Roen said: “We have not hesitated to perform any and all indicated surgical procedures in the face of proscribed blood replacement.” Dr. Denton Cooley, at the Texas Heart Institute, said: “We became so impressed with the results [from using nonblood plasma expanders] on the Jehovah’s Witnesses that we started using the procedure on all our heart patients.” (The San Diego Union, December 27, 1970, p. A-10) “‘Bloodless’ open-heart surgery, originally developed for adult members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses sect because their religion forbids blood transfusions, now has been safely adapted for use in delicate cardiac procedures in infants and children.”—Cardiovascular News, February 1984 p. 5

Op, What do you stand to gain by thinking you can come online and malign Jehovahs Witnesses. Does it mean even if she takes the blood, she will not die? Can the doctor guarantee with his own life that he is 100% sure the woman will not die even if she takes the blood?

You are right bros, its only that mostimes we end up using that creativity negatively.

Sorry bro! But you got it totally wrong
It’s not only politicians, fraudsters and whatever you call it that are making money in this great nation.
Everyone look for who to blame but can u be honest with you?
People are making clean, honest and legal money in this nation despite the economic hardship!
To be frank! You are just mentally lazy and looking for a easy way out of your mysterious lifestyle!
Some of your mate hv left security job abroad and return home to startup and they are glad they took that decision including me writing this
I left abroad after many years doing crazy job all for money! It dawned on me I will just serve those white fools all my life for chicken change and little comfort.
I made up my mind to return and I came back firing GEJ era with fear of uncertainty! Ebola, boko- haram, bomblast everywhere! Even friends advice me never to return but I thank God I came back!
In less than 5 years., God really blessed my hustle and where I am today, I can’t get there in 30 years staying abroad!
Saw a niche in the market, provide solutions and now I swim in millions!
Soooo many opportunities here if u r smart, honest and hardworking.
So bro don’t sell your birthright for a plate of pourade.
Wake up, think deep, pray and take that bold step to turn your story around and stop blaming one politician.
The earlier you realize they can’t help the better for you!
Build your empire and forget government exist!
My little advice sir!

Thank God for your life but just take it that you are only fortunate and not because you are smart or hardworking. Naija is a place that success on your endeavour is not sure until you attain it. I know many people that took the same step you took and failed. Iwo sope ti e.

This is what you get when it is unknown to you that you have married olosho

I saw a post on nairaland recently asking interested ones to drop their emails and i did dropped my mail having seen many others that have done the same already. About 24 hours later i received the following mail titled "Confirmed Method To Make Over $100 Daily With Bitcoin" in my box:

This method has been tested and 100% working, make sure you do not abuse it. You don't need to invest any money to start making money with this method the only thing you need is the tools, neither do you need to be a computer guru to start using this method.

With the First method you can earn up to $1 daily while with the second method you can make at least $100 daily .
If after applying any of the two method and you still did not make money ,then you have to leave online business for another business.

FIRST METHOD

1. Earn free Bitcoins by completing tasks on websites

There are many websites which offer you to earn free Bitcoins. With most of these sites, the concept is that you visit the site and just for looking at it you get a small amount of Bitcoins. The concept has something in common with watching a lot of ads and inbetween you get something you actually want to see, like a film or music clips.

While this is a legitimate concept, the return on your invested time is very little. So when you earn Bitcoins from these advertising sites, the Bitcoins actually come at the cost of your time. But see for yourself, here is a list of some of the sites that I find interesting

List of Websites That pays For Completing Simple Task

https://freebitco.in

Earning Bitcoins from completing tasks on websites is a viable option to actually earnsome Bitcoins, but don’t expect your income to be very large. I regard it as a first step to get familiar with Bitcoin in general. Also, it is interesting to see what kind of services are enabled through frictionless money transfers.

After getting that message i called the gsm number and the guy who picked it told me the software is N8k but he is not the one selling the software and that he will give me the number of the guy who sells it but i should not give it out to anybody and within some seconds he sent the number and i called the person and that one also told me that there are 2 versions, version 1 is N8k and version 2 is N25K. i said i will like the version 1 first after which i will order for version 2 if it works, he then asked me to send my email after making a payment and he even said that he has only one copy of version 1 left and that i should quickly make a payment before another person subscribes for it because people are always disturbing him for it. he sent his bank details to me and i went to diamond bank to make a payment of N8k to him and when i got to bank i was asked for the account number i want to deposit to and i said 9992129233, then i was asked to fill a deposit slip unlike others and i asked why, i was then told that is a special account created in conjunction with MTN (at that time i became suspicious and i felt like collecting my money back but i have already handed the money to the cashier and i just felt like taking the risk), after payment i sent a message to him that i have paid N8k and i called him too and he told me he is yet to receive the money. after few minutes i got a message from him that he told me to pay N18k but i paid N8K( but surprisingly, he sent the message through the first guys phone number who introduced him to me because i have stored both numbers already), it was then i knew i have been scammed. I called and called like almost 20 times he did not pick it again and i had to send a message to him to refund N7K and keep N1k but he didnt reply and he didnt refund my money. The following morning he flashed my phone number and i called him back and as i was even introducing myself as the person who paid him N8K, he said he knew i am the one and that why should i pay him *K instead of 18K, i said but that does not mean he should not refund my money and that when i have 18K i will order for it and that now i cannot afford 18k, he just cut the calls and he never picked my calls again.

His diamond Bank account name is UGO ABAEZE
His Account number is 9992129233
His other name shown by true caller on my phone is Frank Dave

You guys please beware of him and his antics.

I have transacted business with many people on nairaland and in most cases i realised they are scammers. Guys, please let us expose those whom we have met here on Nairaland who scammed us.
Relate your experience and give details of the transaction for others to see and learn so as to avoid the same pitfalls.

Web Designer like tripleclicksms

The guy scammed me 30k for bulk sms website for the past 2 weeks and he has not built any website and he promised 2 days despite claiming to be a graduate of computer Engineering from Olabisi Onabanjo University. His name is IWENOFU HILARY TOBECHUKWU.
Karma is surely awaiting you just like others.

Is your nephew an Engineer or a builder? If he is, better. If not, its better you give your job to a professional to do for you. My experience about NL is that you will have so much responses that you may eventually end up confused and not know which advise to really take. My personal opinion though.
