My Mother Died Because The Hospital Disconnected Her Oxygen…

Can you imagine a hospital removing a patient’s oxygen support because they could not take care of her again, and wanted to transfer her to another hospital?

Well, the sad implication is that the family lost her, and now have to live with the sad memories two years after.

President of the Bini Club of Houston, United States, Lydia Aguebor,who recalled the experience in an interview with The Punch, was illustrating how frustrating live and living in Nigeria could be

“My mother died in 2022 in Nigeria because they removed the oxygen she was using before they could transfer her from one hospital to another.

“This always gets me emotional when I remember.

“Imagine, my mother was on oxygen and a particular hospital said they could not take care of her again. So, they took away their oxygen.

“How did they want her to survive from one point to another? I usually think that the poor healthcare system in Nigeria killed my mother.

“All of this gets me scared of coming back to Nigeria. But, when the government makes the country better, I’ll come. If the economy is stabilised, all of us in the diaspora will come back home”

Lamenting the rate Nigerians were leaving their country, she said it would have been better for everyone to stay home and contribute in building the country, but that necessity of survival is the reason for the problem.

“.. successive governments have proved that they don’t want to support the people.

“The skills that we’re taking to diaspora are the skills we should have used for our country.

“For me, if anybody has the opportunity to better their lives somewhere else, it is a welcome development.

“And there are still people who don’t want to go anywhere but make Nigeria great; that’s also good.

“We just have to do what is best for our lives as Nigerians”, she told the newspaper.
