Are we cursed? Or we are the cause?
Anthony Joshua happened!
Then Chimamanda is here telling her story. All happening in an era when Nigeria’s Detty December is gaining global relevance.
Which way Naija?
“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”.

@lexyy4real@egi_nupe Obi is a thousand times better than Soludo, as a person from Anambra, he is years ahead of the professor without character, that has been Soludo's problem, for the record Soludo won that election becuase he remained in APGA, dude is enjoying the APGA Peter Obi setup.
@Martins_ukeje@AnambraNewMedia Soludo is a complete woman wrapper, onye division 1,
If he thinks he is almighty he should left APGA, let’s test his popularity.
@julianaolayinka@officialABAT@jo_comms@FMINONigeria Until some urchins on this app realize that in Nigeria, the elites do not give a F about the lower class, they care about themselves alone, wether Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa, the elites are one and united in ensuring you remain poor. I am not surprised about this news at all.
@OsosaChris People like you are so clueless that it irritates so badly to read the rubbish you are writing, first Peter will remain a nemesis to you all, Soludo’s tenure couldn’t be truncated because there cannot be shift from APGA and the ongoing rotation of power across senatorial zones.
@osita_chidoka You are scheming to be the next governor, that is the reason you will vote for Soludo, we have the intel so don’t come here to deceive us, just say it as it is.
What is happening today between the USA and Tinubu’s govt is purely Karma!
In 2015, for them it was a strategic game to win power according to Oga Fayemi, today it is coming back to hunt them.
Let no man say jack!

Today, I was honoured to stand with the vibrant Igbo community of Adamawa during their courtesy visit to His Excellency Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at Government House, Yola. Our gathering was more than a courtesy—it was a celebration of unity, cultural pride, and the enduring friendship between the Igbo people and the entire Adamawa family.
As Agu Di Ebube Ndi Igbo I of Adamawa State, I remain deeply committed to strengthening the bonds between government, traditional institutions, and all cultural groups. Together, as proud citizens, we will continue to build a state where diversity is valued, inclusiveness is practiced, and every community feels at home.
@AbeTheDev@DavidHundeyin Let's pray the world never gets into a war again, let peace reign, China can display their might but be scared of those who do not display, whose strategy is to surprise you.
