An Ibadan based medical practitioner, Dr Damilola Lewis of Shalom Medical Center here attempts to explain how the first Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke died. He also used the opportunity to ‘whisper’ messages into the ears of the ruling class in Nigeria. Enjoy:
Senator Isiaka Adeleke was said to have gone for a meeting and ceremonies the day before he died.
He came home and complained of calf pain…he was given injections and later was confirmed dead.
I can stake money that the late Distinguished Senator died from pulmonary embolism or inferior myocardial infarction.
How many hospitals, if any, in Nigeria has facilities for D-Dimer, CT angiogram and ventilation – perfusion scans?
How many hospitals in Nigeria has facilities for arterial blood gas measurements?
Does Nigeria have functioning emergency services?
How many Nigerian pulmonologists and cardiologists HAVE EVER USED RETEPLASE?
Are we not tired of a country where a neurosurgeon cannot do surgeries because there is no hot water in the theater or a country where the Intensive Care Unit in a hospital with only eight beds with and only one infusion pump that is not working but has the local government chairman going home with 200 million naira per month?
We await the autopsy results but this is another reminder to the Nigerian big man class that when death strikes….their money cannot save them especially where they have under equipped hospitals and poorly trained staff who only read about the use of these facilities IN TEXTBOOKS.
There are some deaths that will kill the typical Nigerian politician within hours before he or she can unsuccessfully conclude flight arrangements and board a plane to fly for 12 hours or more to reach any western country for medical care.
Even their air ambulance or whatever will not save them.
There are many things to do with 50 million dollars than keeping it in a safe in Ikoyi without an owner.
May the Nigerian thieving and insensitive political class and the so-called idiotic elite RECEIVE SENSE. Amen.
May the soul of the late Senator Adeleke rest in peace.(If there’s anything so called).
It’s a shame, BIG SHAME.
