“We are a strange people.
Amongst us, we found the heart, the compassion, the inclusiveness to reach out to a young woman whose life still hangs in the balance as I write this.#MayowaAhmed is literally going through a living hell.
Failed by the Nigerian healthcare system. Failed by a broken health insurance ‘industry’. Failed by Nigeria.
Yet, Nigerians…the amazing, loving people that most of us are, rallied around her. Her family sent out an SOS to the world and boy ,did Nigerians come running!
Over $120,000 and N80million raised in 3 days!
SO that #MayowaAhmed can be flown abroad for much-needed help.
SO that the death sentence pronounced by her doctors here can be challenged in the court of second opinion.
SO that her family can, if that is how it turns out…console themselves in the knowledge that they tried…that they did everything they could…that they went beyond the ordinary…to give her a fighting chance…
Like I said…we are a strange people….
From amongst us…some satans have arisen…filled with venom…flicking their serpentine tongues and spewing a death that will consume them!
Those who have been blessed with a voice…who have been given a platform, but are still slaves to their egos and bellies…shrivelled souls with little hope for redemption.
They live for the headlines…the spotlights…at any cost. Even a life.
