The fact that he died of Tuberculosis alone has shed more light on the issue. Not to desecrate the dead but we should all live a healthy life!

This is sad, very sad and like most deaths in this part of the world is PREVENTABLE....

What is Tuberculosis really?

Tuberculosis (TB) which is curable and preventable, is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs.

TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.

According to WHO, about one-quarter of the world’s population has latent TB, which means people have been infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with the disease and cannot transmit the disease.

Something must have compromised his immunity. Active TB dies not just happen like that. There has to be some sort of immunosuppression.

One third actually.
TB is highly preventable and curable.
Free treatment.
Yet we don't want to help themselves.

My thought though, may be not. Chain smokers lungs are at risk all the time. They usually develop this strange cough.

The choice to live or die young lies with every individual


It doesn't always though

Heard about congenital ailments ? Hereditary diseases/tendencies?
Health isn't just about your choices, some choices have been made for you already by one's ancestors.

It's always good to develop good habits though.

God help us.

Danfo Drivers: Untold story of Mad Melon’s death

…He was suffering from tuberculosis – Son

…Melon didn’t seek help from anybody – Mabel Oboh

Son of one-half of the legendary Nigerian music group, Danfo Drivers, Mad Melon, who died last week, Michael Emiefah has revealed the cause of his father’s death.

According to him, Mad Melon had been suffering from tuberculosis for some time now.

The 18 year-old secondary school leaver made the revelation in a chat with Showtime, during a condolence visit to the family, at their Ezeagu Street, residence in Ajegunle area of Lagos.

Michael, who lives with his mother and elder sister, Jennifer in Delta State rushed down to Lagos, upon receiving the sad news of his father’s death,

Speaking with Showtime, Michael said Melon had been suffering from tuberculosis for some time now. He described his death as painful, regretting, however, that his late father did not take his health seriously.

In an emotion-laden voice, the poor boy said: “He didn’t take his health seriously. He was still indulging in those bad habits he was warned to desist from. His death is painful despite his shortcomings.’

‘We heard the news of his death and decided to rush down. I will try my best to take of my mother. I am the man in the house now. Any time I remember him, it pains me in my heart. I don’t know what to do,I can’t cry neither can I laugh. He didn’t stay away from certain things were harmful to his health. I think that was what led to his death,” Michael said.

However, condoling the bereaved family last weekend, founder of Mabel oboh Centre for Save Our Stars, MOCSOS, Mrs. Mabel Oboh-Udoh advised Nigerian entertainers to take their health seriously.

Oboh said Melon’s death was ‘avoidable’ adding that nobody was aware of his health condition.

Contrary to his band mate, Mountain Black’s ranting that was abandoned by the music industry, MOCSOS boss said that the deceased did not seek help from anybody.

“Mad Melon was a great talent, a fantastic person. But definitely, something went wrong along the line. This is what my NGO, Save Our Stars is advocating. Nobody was aware of his health condition. He didn’t seek help from anybody and if he had done so, we would have helped to save his life.”

“I believe that his death could have been avoided. I am calling on Nigerian artistes to stay away from drugs, bad habits and things that could be harmful to their health. We have to join forces to re-educate ourselves. I am so angry. What I am saying to entertainers is that they don’t have to take our own health insurance scheme. They can take another one or better still, engage the services of a private doctor,” Oboh said. Meanwhile, the burial plans announced by Mountain Black, revealed that there will be wake up on October 11, while his remains will be laid to rest the follow day.

He must be taking Indian hemp and other illicit drugs to feel high.

Not just the normal cigarettes.

No wonder TB came next door knocking as claimed by the son.

But a little probe into his life will probably reveal much more.

This guy may have died from complications resulting from Hiv and Aids.
