Calm your nerves... Asides sentiments the guy made perfect sense just that as I wrote, it does not sound cool taking the life of anyone regardless.

I know what I faced with my dad when he was down with serious stroke.

You never pack shit before I guess.. I pack shit tire, the stress was so mentally torturous and you won't even have a life of your own.

Anyways I believe in Miracle so they should pray and seek for alternative solution.

Lalas my dad passed on.

Most people dont realize what it takes to take care of someone in such a state. If they do, they will have a rethink.
And OP's father is alive because they are spending money they dont have for a project that will likely not succeed. I will encourage him having a heart to heart with the doctor on the probability of the man comin back, after that its a matter of diverting his resources elsewhere and letting nature take its course.
Poor people die daily of such ailments without lasting a week.

It has been 12years now since my dad has been down with Stroke which has affected his speech,his right hand and leg and some 4years ago,he couldn't walk anymore but had to be carried to sleep,sit and all physical metabolism is done where he is,even after I and my mum have spent and still spends a lot on physiotherapy,speech therapy,brain checkups at Mecure oshodi,routine and forthnight high blood pressure checkups with expensive drugs and still no changes but it gets worse,all done going around in taxi as I have no car.....

I was 18 and in 200level in a federal uni with him and my mum my only support system when all of this started,couldn't concentrate and focus on school work anymore as I am the firstborn of a 7 boys family and my attention was always needed.....Mum told me I need to drop out that she can't afford all of this alone but I was strong hearted and determined to graduate with a B.Eng...

I had issues with my lecturers as my attendance were poor and my course adviser said it to my face that I would never graduate but I never told them about my travails or they wouldn't even believe me anyways cos they were mostly SADIST,All Engineering lecturers in Uniben especially Mechanical/PRODUCTION ENGINEERING from 08/09 upward,OGUN KILL ALL OF UNA!!! Life was tough for me and my Mum....

Now that I am a Man and supposed to be focus on my life future and raising a family but this is still taking a toll on me emotionally,financially,mentally and I will come home to my mum nagging,crying that she has tried enough over the years and i might come home one day and she has left ....THIS BREAKS ME,I AM TIRED,I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO....I LOVE MY DAD,HE IS IN PAINS TOO!!!

Are you sure you'll be able to live with the guilt that will come afterwards?
I passed through something similar. Dad was sick for years. We eventually lost him late last year after spending in millions. Time and effort nko? Mental stress nko? Yet, till date, I still feel guilty for not being able to diagnose the illness and responding quickly enough.
But that's me anyway.

Euthanzing is the correct word here. I swear if he could talk to you, he would tell you to go ahead. He is in pains, seeing y'all going through all that to take care of him is making him sad also. He just can't tell y'all. Hospitals does euthanization, you just have to talk to your mom and brothers about it. It's not a decision you can take alonew, except you have a heart like mine. The hospital would make it faster and easier. I think they'll put him to sleep first, then inject something that'll stop his heart. Thereby, he wouldn't even feel anything.
Please update us on how it goes.

why can't you open up to your lecturers instead of devising a means to eliminate your own Father... I believe you got smart phones.. take couple of pictures and show them with tears in your eyes...

What are you trying to prove to your lecturers?... Why are you bottling things up? ... Are you trying to prove to them by acting tough in their presence that all is well with you when clearly all isn't...No matter how sadist they are, even the devil got soft spots...Assuming your school has students advisors, This situation is enough to granted you a study leave because you can't concentrate.... Please tell your lecturers the situation of things....

You are clearly passing through a traumatic situation at the moment but u have to try your best to leave your dad out of it until his maker calls him...Can you be able to leave with it that you killed your own father for the rest of your life? besides, you have no right whatsoever to take a life u did not make..... he did not kill you when u were a toddler..No matter what you call it, Mercy killing, or kind killing, killing is killing....Thou shall not Kill angry

Abortion is muder too but what if its done to save the mother's life or the baby wasnt going to be normal hence the need to terminate? Bro your Dad is going through alot but i wouldnt advice euthanasia. Cut your expenses give him proper homecare and attention since its obvious the test and hospital trips wouldnt make any change. I know of a man though his case is a bit different in that he could still talk, he told his family to suspend all drugs and treatments that theyve tried. He died after one month . Death isnt realy evil but if we initiate it like you are seeking you've to cleanse the land if you understand that tradition. It is murder, perharps not of the same degree just like the instance given above.

This is d problem with Africa parents , perhaps your father parents imposed alot of responsibilities on him thereby leading to the stroke he suffers today . If I may ask where is your fathers family(mother n siblings)?Is his wife n children that are carrying all d wahala now Abi. Later all these small small boys will cm here n say my immediate family over my wife.My advice for U is to Tk life as U C it do not put too much pressure on yourself to avoid being in the same situation as Ur dad thereby creating problem for Ur future wife n kids.


He had 7 kids! More like he stressed himself into stroke. May God help us. Unfortunately, as young as OP is, he is stressing himself mentally and physically too. Better keep your eyes on your BP.....it is well.

As for your dad, please don't do it. While I'm not opposed to euthanizing where appropriate, it is absolutely important that the patient's consent is gotten. Since he is not cognizant enough to give it....you should keep praying for him until God's mercy reaches him. Epele. All will be well.

Aren't there nursing homes in Nigeria that take care of invalids like this?

Euthanasia, or assisted suicide has to be voluntary. The invalid has to give his consent, except for cases where he/she has no control of their cognitive faculties. That is not the case here.

Anything short of that is murder, plain and simple. Op may God grant you the wisdom to take the right decision.
So you think they'll just accept him without payment. The family will pay their *ss out. The condition in most nursing homes is worse than prison sef. I really don't know what to say to the op...this is just too heavy. May the Lord comfort you.

I sympathise with you but hear a lot of excuses,you need to have informed your school lecturers on the situation and showed them some hospital paper work some of them would have shown compassion and assisted you but you are here asking Ogun to kill them.
Your father,s condition is degenerative so at this stage it is too keep him comfortable and free from pain there are prescription only high strength ones like Dihydrocodeine and morphine.They are affordable and can be used at home since hospital bills are piling.
It is sad you would think of taking his life as if he forced your mum to abort you we would not be reading this story today.You can decide with your family not to resuscitate him if he has an episode that’s a DNR but should not take a life.
May Your family find strength to bear this hardship.

Firstly I would commend you for your efforts and how you managed to conquer engineering amidst all odds.

You have to call on your siblings, time to work together and harder, he's still alive for some reason that would be known to you sooner or later.

All you need is a financial step-up, he gets better health care, your mom starts living better and the family would be blissful again, thinking of sending him on a journey forcefully might come with consequences and could be a decision that's gonna affect everyone in the family.

Stay strong and positive, you've handled it for 12years. Don't forget "What doesn't kill only gonna make you stronger".

Peace and Light to you and your family.
