Peju Ugboma – Another Needless Death

Peju Ugboma – Another Needless Death

Shebi my in-law say I should stop making noise about Erelu’s passing? That she did not die from any mismanagement but by witchcraft. That she and her pastor are working to uncover the killers, and they will soon confess. As far as she is concerned, Erelu died of so many other things, including my cheating and addiction to porn instead of the rubbish I saw that fateful week in Ikoyi and Ikeja.

So, I decided to keep quiet and be mourning my Erelu in peace. Then the news broke of Peju, and all hell broke loose again. The description of the event as vividly narrated by the writer drew public angst, and I started getting many messages from Nigerians supporting whatever my plans were. The highlight was the call I got from Peju’s husband. Such a gentleman. He was even condoling with me when his own just happened. Mine is over one year. His own was just two hours before he called and see the way he was condoling with me.

The narrative of the passing of beautiful Peju is all that has gone wrong in the country’s health system. The avarice and selfishness of the practitioners all culminating in the avoidable loss of innocent Nigerians. Be like say they use N1 million curse these people. Before anything, they will say deposit N1 million knowing full well that they don’t have the capacity to handle the situation.

Immediately you deposit, they will seek to transfer you to another hospital who will also demand their N1m before showing you the way to your grave. This has to stop, and like I have been shouting: it is not the government. It is people masking under the yeye government to perpetrate evil and make money while at it. We will surely do something about it, watch this space.
