Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by aljharem11(m): 9:31pm On Dec 22, 2010 |
Indications have emerged that former Biafran warlord Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu may be flown abroad for treatment before the end of the week due to his deteriorating health. The management of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, (UNTH), Enugu, revealed the former Biafran warlord had been placed on life-support machine apparently to stabilise him before he would be flown to either South Africa or Egypt for intensive medical attention. When Daily Sun visited the hospital yesterday, there was serious security presence within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) section. The son, Emeka Ojukwu (Jnr), and a former chairman of Nnewi North Local Government Area, Mr. Azuka Okwuosa were among the few relatives and well wishers that were allowed into the ICU reception. During a chat with journalists, the Chief Medical Director of UNTH, Dr Anthony Mbah said a team of consultants led by Prof Vincent Ike, a Consultant Cardiologist had been working on the former warlord, while disclosing that Ojukwu was gradually regaining consciousness. According to the physician, “ Ojukwu was brought to the accident and emergency department of this hospital in an unconscious state last Sunday. The blood pressure was quite low and he was not making enough urine. Upon his arrival, all consultants started work on him immediately; diagnostic procedures were immediately administered on him. Right now, I can say that the blood pressure has stabilised and he is making enough urine. Although his level of consciousness has not improved greatly, efforts are in top gear to fly him abroad. As a hospital, we have already provided transport oxygen and we are updating his medical certificate every moment in order to get ready for his rapid evacuation. “The opinion of the medical team working on him is that he had stroke attack and as I’m speaking, he is on a ventilator which is an artificial breathing machine just to help his breath because he was breathing excessively when he was brought here. For now, we have evidence that the oxygen saturation is okay. I also have it on good authority that the family is thinking of getting a flying ambulance to take him away,” Mba stated. Ojukwu’s ill-health made President Goodluck Jonathan who was in Enugu last Friday to commission the Akanu Ibiam International Airport to pay him a visit at his GRA residence and wish him quick recovery. Meanwhile, his wife, Bianca had declared that her husband’s illness was sensationalised by the media. According to her, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu was not expected to respond to treatment like a 30-year-old would. She argued that a 30-year old would respond to treatment of headache faster than an over 70-year-old man would. She said although her husband was ill, there was no cause for panic. Ojukwu turned 77 on November 4. The Ikemba was rushed to the UNTH on the day the hospital’s members of staff were returning to work after embarking on a strike to press home their demand for better condition of service. When newsmen visited Ojukwu’s residence yesterday, the Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Chief Emeka Sebodu, who was believed to have paid a sympathy visit was seen leaving the place. Before now, Ojukwu had traveled abroad for medical treatment and only returned to the country about a month ago. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2010/dec/22/national-22-12-2010-01.htm |

Right now, I can say that the blood pressure has stabilised and he is making enough urine. Although his level of consciousness has not improved greatly, efforts are in top gear to fly him abroad. What a damn shame. Useless country! @77, let me see how many long flights he can endure to go back and forth to get stabilized over and over again. Nigerians have no shame at all. The long flights alone are enough to kill any one in poor health. Zombie nation! "efforts are in top gear" my arzzzzzzzz!!! You fly Yaradua abroad You fly Mariam IBB abroad You fly Stella OBJ abroad You fly Ojukwu abroad You fly Gani abroad You fly Yinka Craig abraod ALL dead before their times. No shame at all. Even Castro in Cuba is not flown abroad. Who flies to Nigeria in 'top gear efforts' for treatment? |

Blazay:Flawed Reasoning. I support improving Nigerian Health care but you are not making sense. |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by aljharem11(m): 11:55pm On Dec 22, 2010 |
Blazay: perfect reasoning,,,,,sometimes i just get disappointed with my country |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by aljharem11(m): 11:57pm On Dec 22, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: i do not know why, may be because he is tried of ivory coast or something |

jumobi1: The poster after you understood what I meant. You see, I am very pro-choice. . . but partial birth abortions should not be encouraged. You are a proof they still exist. Highly unfortunate. You are a living abortion I swear! The top half of you is most definitely missing. . . unless your brains shifted to your buttocks before the decapacitation process was completed by the quack doctor's scooping device. |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by jumobi1(m): 12:15am On Dec 23, 2010 |
Blazay: Lol. Abeg bros no vex. It's not that serious. Flying people abroad makes sense cos if they are not flown, their chances of dying increases. Ojukwu has nothing to do with the sad state of Nigerian health care. |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by Blazay(m): 12:22am On Dec 23, 2010 |
jumobi1: Do you suffer from 'tunnel vision' syndrome or sum'un? Are you alright Or you cannot read and understand the English language? Nothing wrong with admitting you misunderstand what your read or saw but. . . . If you do not get it one time. . . why show up a second time? Please, stop disgracing yourself. Go back and read my initial post carefully. . . then get someone from your village to interprete the words to you in your 'native' dialect! Frankly, I could not give a damn about your "Ojukwu" ok? I only care about Nigeria. Good Lord! |

Blazay: the guy don apologise now why do you still insult him? |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by T9ksy(m): 1:08am On Dec 23, 2010 |
Jason, some peps just can't help themselves! |
Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by Blazay(m): 1:26am On Dec 23, 2010 |
^^^ Which wan consign you up dia? Who are the 'peps'? jason123: The dude is still misrepresenting what I am saying and you are telling me he don apologise? Why won't I insult him? Is this about Ojukwu? Or the state of health care in Nigeria as a whole. . . ? I just do not have patience for dim bulbs about to go off in pitch darkness while I am trying to have a party, that's all. Someone is trying to understand some major problems about Nigeria then one person will come with some kind of 'local champion' mentality to disturb my trend of thought. . . how annoying! See the reason why I want Atiku to win? Enough of these regional/local champions. |

Re: Bianca Says There Is No Cause For Alarm by Nobody: 2:37am On Dec 23, 2010 |
ragdollz: Actually, that is not the point. Why cant sick Nigerian politicians stay home and get treated in hospitals where its citizens gets treated? Doesnt that say much? If they knew that Nigeria's hospital facilities are underdeveloped and most of its healthworkers are illiterate when it comes to medical technologies, then why not do something about it? They all just go abroad to die. |
