It's a sad story behind this distress sale.
This brother reached out to me for a loan of 1.35 million and is ready to give me the original papers of this van as collateral. Undertakes to pay 210k weekly and ready to provide guarantors but I don't have the money to loan him ATM. He needs the money to pay the outstanding balance of his installments which is due in 5 days. He was involved in an accident which made him bear unforeseen cost of repairs.
He couldn't get a riba-free loan so he resorted to sell the van instead. The van is his means of livelihood and it saddens me that he has to take this difficult decision.
I am putting this out here on the off chance that there is someone who is able to loan him the money. There is a structured repayment plan (and guarantors on request). He is in Lagos. Wallaahi I don't want him to sell the vehicle. I would give him the money even if I didn't have twice as much.
Kindly repost, perhaps someone could be kind enough to help.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who recently lost her 21-month-old son, has released a statement detailing the circumstances surrounding his death.
ARISE News reached out to Adichie’s media team, who confirmed that she did author the statement. According to her representatives, the message was originally sent privately to family members and a few close friends.
"My son would be alive today if not for an incident at Euracare Hospital on January 6th.
We were in Lagos for Christmas. Nkanu had what we first thought was just a cold, but soon turned into a very serious infection and he was admitted to Atlantis hospital.
He was to travel to the US the next day, January 7th, accompanied by Travelling Doctors. A team at Johns Hopkins was waiting to receive him in Baltimore. The Hopkins team had asked for a lumbar puncture test and an MRI. The Nigerian team had also decided to put in a 'central line' (used to administer iv medications) in preparation for Nkanu's flight. Atlantis hospital referred us to Euracare Hospital, which was said to be the best place to have the procedures done.
The morning of the 6th, we left Atlantis hospital for Euracare, Nkanu carried in his father's arms. We were told he would need to be sedated to prevent him from moving during the MRI and the 'central line' procedure.
I was waiting just outside the theater. I saw people, including Dr M, rushing into the theater and immediately knew something had happened.
A short time later, Dr M came out and told me Nkanu had been given too much propofol by the anesthesiologist, had become unresponsive and was quickly resuscitated. But suddenly Nkanu was on a ventilator, he was intubated and placed in the ICU. The next thing I heard was that he had seizures. Cardiac arrest. All these had never happened before. Some hours later, Nkanu was gone
It turns out that Nkanu was NEVER monitored after being given too much propofol. The anesthesiologist had just casually carried Nkanu on his shoulder to the theater, so nobody knows when exactly Nkanu became unresponsive.
How can you sedate a sick child and neglect to monitor him? Later, after the 'central line' procedure, the anesthesiologist casually switched off Nkanu's oxygen and again decided to carry him on his shoulder to the ICU!
The anesthesiologist was CRIMINALLY negligent. He was fatally casual and careless with the precious life of a child. No proper protocol was followed.
We brought in a child who was unwell but stable and scheduled to travel the next day. We came to conduct basic procedures. And suddenly, our beautiful little boy was gone forever. It is like living your worst nightmare. I will never survive the loss of my child.
We have now heard about two previous cases of this same anesthesiologist overdosing children. Why did Euracare allow him to keep working? This must never happen to another child".
We really need to get the fear factor on.
The first thing he said based on the Villa game is that “we are beatable” which could have easily happened tonight.
I hope Arteta isn’t feeling some sort of pressure with this title race himself, everyone should calm down and take it a game at a time not just from word of mouth but in actions on the pitch as well.
A friend & 1 other guy drove down to Ibadan for a wedding.
On their way back, it was getting dark, & they met a police officer stranded around Toll gate in Ibadan who tried stopping them for a ride.
They stopped to help. He said he was alighting midway, no Wahala.
2 of them sat in front, the officer sat at the back.
After they arrived at the officer’s stop, the dropped him & shortly after they moved, my friend’s guy lost his peace. He tried shrugging it off but he became troubled the more.
He then asked my friend to park. They checked the area the officer sat & boom they saw 3 bullet shells right underneath the passenger seat in front.
They took them & threw them into the bush; knowing fully well what they were going to meet ahead, they already made some calls to some senior officers to let them know what just happened & that there are officers ahead who would be stopping them soon.
Shortly after they moved, they met some police officers who stopped them & acted like they have all been anticipating their arrival.
The officers told them both to come down & they went searching everywhere including where the guys found the bullets. After a long search, the officers became angry in a way like they couldn’t find what they were looking for.
They still didn’t let these guys go until they received a call to let them go.
There are so many reasons police have lost their credibility & trust, & it will take a very very long time of work for it to be regained.
That was jungle justice, not Sharia. 2 guys were burnt alive in Lagos after being caught in failed robbery attempt, was it Sharia that killed them too?
