The greatest prison is in the mind.

She has all the money to seek proper medical attention but the religious chain in her brain wouldn't let her. Pope is not silly not to seek medical attention. But all these modern day scammers have convinced Africans to embrace religion instead of medicine. The litany of woes is uncountable. I am sure more pulpit bandits will line up for her billions with fake promises of miracles until she is broke and joins her ancestors.

Did they say that instead of seeking medical advice, she started a church to help her? shocked. I remember sometime back she claimed that the Lord had spoken to her about wearing jewelry & she stopped. I do hope she didn’t join some cult because it’d be so sad.

What is she doing up there for heavens sake.
I'm so angry.

There are some certain procedures one needs to undergo but if the person is flying, it's a no no.
Either you don't fly or no procedure.
Nigerians and their religion.

Simple steroid injections to the eyes + laser eye surgery, would have saved her sight......

I bet, she was putting holy water and holy oil on her eyeballs......

An Osun state indegene was gifted oil wells in the South South, just as several others from the North, West, and Middle Belt, while the people on whose land the oil was put by God are slaving for the slave masters. All of you no go die well.

Before you quote me and say nonsense like I am jealous of them, please note that I am not wretched like your parents. I am not a billionaire, but I have given people millions on several occasions
You are a lier ,a jealous fellow and a total sadist.south south is not the only region with crude oil in Nigeria, try and goto school, OK?

LOL....She is a billionaire
She has already seen the best eye doctors in the world.
Trust me.
Unfortunately there is no eye transplant.
You think if 10 billion dollars can make Babangida walk......he wont be walking
When God wants to show you his power, he will take back some gifts people take for granted.
Obviously you didn't read the article. She didn't consult any eye docs. She went to the church instead. She probably had a retinal detachment due to malignant hypertension

Retinal detachment secondary to malignant hypertension is most likely uni-ocular
For a lesion on both sides its most likely more central, something like:
• Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO): Which is sudden blockage of the main artery supplying blood to the retina, often due to a hypertensive crisis, can cause sudden, profound vision loss in both eyes.
• Retinal vein occlusion (RVO): Elevated blood pressure can lead to the obstruction of the retinal veins, causing swelling, bleeding, and potential vision loss in both eyes.

She most likely has pre-morbids like hypertension and diabetes, with underlying pre-existing retinopathy. My guess is CRAO, it can cause sudden painless bilateral blindness

Are you convinced i read the article now ? grin grin grin

No need for this. Righteousness2 (above your post) has already cancelled the blindness.
