Nigeria is indeed in deep
mess and needs urgent and sincere rescue and clean up. I will not mind the political
jobbers, government sycophants or the boy-boy to all the money missed road that
never see that this country ‘don dey go go down’ everyday
I will love to quote late
Martin Luther King Jnr, where he said: ‘our lives begin to end the day we
become silent about things that matter’’
The above laudable words
bring me to the case of a young talented 25-year old, Adedayo Adekoya, which
was murdered through the negligent of the medical personnel and the doctors at
the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos Nigeria. .
According to the family
source, Adedayo was admitted in the hospital n order to undergo an eye
operation; however, all the necessary money was said to have been deposited,
because medical care is never free in Nigeria.
The operation went as
schedule but the vital drugs that they needed was not purchased by the hospital,
the doctors then told Adedayo parents that the vital drug they needed could not
be found in there pharmacy, therefore they need to look for it themselves! Hence
the poor boy went into coma, he died eventually.
Adedayo’s death is not the
real issue now, because death will come when it will come; the big issue now is
that the management of LUTH is now playing politics with his corpse; the LUTH
management is now demanding the whooping sum of 1.2million Naira from the
family of Adedayo before they will release the corpse!
I will love to ask the
management of LUTH a simple questions, Do they think that everybody in Nigeria
do engage in corruptions as our leaders do? Or where do they expect a poor pensioner to
cough out such an amount of money?
One of the family members
said:’ how on earth do they want us to raise 1.2MILLION NAIRA or where do
they want us to see such money before LUTH will release the corpse of our
beloved brother to us?
I
t is high time the
LUTH management wake up to their responsibility and release the corpse to the
family. Abi you guys won chop am?
