LOVE conquers all but conception INCOMPATIBILITY; Know your Genotype, Rh Factor and Blood group.
Another sickle cell warrior cut down in his prime! #RIPTosinFolalu #SicklecellAnaemia #Sicklecellwarrior


On Thursday of last week, many students of the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos were at Atan Cemetery for the interment of Mahuemolem Odibo, a penultimate year student of the Faculty of law, Unilag. #RIPEmolenOdibo
I am not here to excuse the nonchalant attitude of some nurses at the Unilag Medical Centre.
I have been there. I spent some days in that facility last week and I refuse to dwell on what they could have done better and what they shouldn’t do to their patients.
I still haven’t come to terms with the fact that Emolen Odibo is gone just like that — she is six feet down the ground. I couldn’t trust myself emotionally so I stayed off her interment.
To imagine her death was avoidable!
Her autopsy her brother allegedly revealed she had fluids in her lungs. While the young lady was battling the fluids in her lungs, the medics just assumed it is the nondescript “Crisis” every Sickle cell warrior battles and were trying to stabilize her.
Some day, Nigerians will talk about how we ain’t getting quality healthcare; wrong diagnosis to administering expired products on us.
And those who are are to check these anomalies are unbothered after all they can access the right treatment abroad.
Our medical personnels will also share their woes on the lack of motivation and insufficient equipments to administer comprehensive healthcare. — This lackadaisical attitude isn’t a challenge unique to Unilag medical center. Ask those who use other government Primary Health Centres (PHC) and our glorified chemists we call General Hospitals.
I am here to talk about how parents especially intending couples should do the needful and stop ✋ putting everyone around you through the agony of watching people die in their prime!
Please subject yourselves to tests and ensure your genotype, blood groups and RH factors are compatible.
Love ❤️ conquers all but these incompatibility leaves tears 😭 and agonies for parents when they are to be reaping the fruits of their labours!
