The late choreographer, who danced
for popular musicians like Pasuma, KWAM 1 and Shina Peters, died during
childbirth in a private hospital in Lagos on October 1, exactly 20 days after
her wedding to husband, Godwin Eloanyi.
Godwin Eloanyi took her to a private
hospital where she was in and out of labour for several days.
When it was certain that it wasn’t
possible for her to have a natural childbirth, the doctors informed her that
she’ll be undergoing a Cesarean Section but the operation would cost N450k.
“Kemi wouldn’t have died if the
doctors did pay attention to her. She was in labour for several days and was
asked to pay certain amount of money before she could be operated upon. The
truth is that Kemi was in labour for over one week. She tried in vain to give
birth the normal way but the baby just didn’t come.
Eventually the doctor told her she
would have to go through C&S. It was termed emergency C&S. The hospital
asked her to pay a sum of 450,000 for the operation. He also said that before
anything could be done they would have to make a deposit of 300,000. He made
several efforts to raise 300,000 but deposited all he had.
He begged the
doctors to please go ahead with the operation and would pay before the next
day. That was on October 1st , the night she died.”
“Kemi’s husband said he would pay
the money the next day but the doctor refused and stated categorically that he
would not move an inch, unless he pays 300,000. It was at that point Kemi
decided to forward messages to people she knows so she could get help.
She got
responses that money would be made available to her the next day. On hearing
that the husband went to beg the doctors again, still they refused. No bank was
opened and nothing could be done until Thursday, October 2nd but unfortunately
she gave up the ghost that night.
My point is, the doctors knew she had to go
through emergency C&S. They could have saved her life and get the money
later. Nigeria is a very bad country I must confess.” one of her friends said.
