Oh Jesus!!.....The story just broke me and annoyed me...The Hospital needs to respond to this ASAP....
''Hi Stella, my name is Ganiyu Fashola Vice President Administration, LEAP Africa Alumni Association. Sometime in April one of our members was murdered in the hands of a doctor, We are seeking justice... This is her story below.. Kindly partner with us in this move.
This is Chisom Anekwe (nee Okereke), a young, vivacious, graceful, kind-hearted and intelligent woman who had devoted her life to helping indigent kids and giving their lives a meaning. She’s an alumna of LEAP Africa.
Two weeks ago, precisely April 30th 2017, Chisom died under questionable circumstances at Magodo Specialist Hospital while trying to birth her third offspring. We believe strongly that the authorities need to ensure that lives are taken sacred in hospitals like Magodo Specialist Hospital where such avoidable deaths are recorded.
Chisom was admitted in the hospital four days before she got into labour. She already had two daughters birthed in the same hospital and was there to birth her third child, a son. While at the hospital, no one attended to her when she needed the help to be delivered of the long awaited baby. She was left for hours in labour. This happened until her husband created a scene, which eventually caused the doctors to go to her ward and on inspection they found out that the baby had struggled and died.
The husband at this point requested for a CS which he paid for and even signed the consent form presented by the hospital. He was then tricked out of the room to go prepare for blood transfusion and on getting back, he found out that the doctors had induced the wife and delivered the dead baby without operation not minding that the CS procedure had been paid for. This was also without his consent.
During the process of delivering the baby, the placenta got ruptured and the doctors left her like that, no further attendance still. Shortly after, the husband noticed she was swelling up in her stomach area and called the attention of the doctors who said they were getting ready for a surgery, a preparation that took longer than usual.
After waiting in vain for the surgical team, the frustrated husband went furiously to the reception to demand why they were wasting time only to discover the doctor had sneaked out of the hospital under funny pretences. At this point he got other hospital staff to wheel her out of the hospital and in that process Chisom died!
This is the story of most young women who die while giving birth as a result of the callousness, ignorance and carelessness of inexperienced doctors.
In this era, we shouldn't be talking about Child and Maternal Mortality especially when it can be avoided. This could have been avoided but it wasn't and now Chisom Jane Anekwe is a victim and has been added to the statistics.
We demand;
1. That Magodo Specialist Hospital, Shangisha, Lagos, be investigated for their actions and the subsequent death of Chisom.
2. That both the Nigerian Medical Association NMA and the Medical and Dentist Council of Nigeria, MDCN ensure that supposed Specialist Hospitals who claim to have a resident Gynecologist are verified.
3. That there be justice for Chisom!''

ReplyDeleteGod please provide for me ASAP. I'm so birthing my kids in the US
See her angelic smile, I refuse to say RIP to you dear beautiful Chisom.
DeleteI can only say Return If Possible.!
Some medical personnel give room for devil to use them. That was how my niece almost lost her/baby life in one Mother and Child Hospital...
They abandoned her all the while in labor she was pleading with them to come and check her. The nurse was busy threatening her that if she is not careful na CS she go end up with. Who threatens a woman in labor if not a she-devil?
Seeing her baby have crowned, she (nurse) commanded her to walk to the delivery room unaided holding the drip attached to her.
As she was walking she was telling nurse that she is feeling something in between her legs (the baby head is out) a first timer).... the nurse totally ignored her
As she got to the delivery bed my niece managed to sit at the corner of the bed, trying to lift her leg up to lie down, the baby popped/jumped out .... she dropped the drip and swiftly caught the baby boy sharperly, shouting "nurse see my baby repeatedly" and the nurse was sluggishly wearing her hand glove. "Ndi oso ekwensu egbu" "aka ebi go ha na-ala"
The only thing she could voice out of guilt was "... .. Congrats" cause her/their plans failed woefully . . .what an experience that will last her for a life time. She always cry sharing her labour room experience. In her words "it was a horrow movie"
If not na sorry dem for dey tell dem enemy. . . . . . .

Nawa o! Very very sad something. See how innocent she looks. Ripp Chisom!
DeleteWhat is the doctors name so others know to avoid him/her in future?This incompetence is part of the degradation in the Nigerian society at large. We used to have some of the best doctors in the world, now we are graduating useless over glorified hospital workers that call themselves doctors. Please it is important they publish the doctors name so others do not fall for this and to put other doctors on notice.
DeleteNot all Nigeria hospitals are bad, I also discovered my baby stopped kicking in me and went to the hospital I registered my antenatal with who asked me to go for a scan, d scan result showed the baby had died in me. The senior doctor asked the nurses to induce me to give birth immediately as delay is dangerous against my plea for CS, he said there is no way he can open d living to bring out d dead that it's wrong and he will advise I corporate with them. After so much pains and after 10hrs in labour with d nurses coming to check on me every now and then , I finally felt d baby's head but d nurses will not allow me to push because the head doctor had drop an instruction for him to be called when I'm in labour solely because of the placenta. When he finally came, he was very professional and handled the placenta with care because d placenta was so soft that it could have easily cut in 2, he cleansed me so well and said I can try again after 3 months. The reason I told this story is just to make u know we still have good hospitals here just that most are not well known hospitals.
DeleteSorry for that experience. God will give you double for your lost in Jesus name
DeleteThere is no theology like "there is no way i can cut open the living to bring out the dead". Its so not true. CS isnt a death sentence please and please. Infact one shouldnt induce a woman who has a dead baby, cos so many things could go wrong, and besides not all doctors as u can clearly see knows how to safely deliver d placenta. Please CS is a safety measure. Doctors shld please learn well cos they deal with human lives and will be accountable to God. Thank u
DeleteYou don't typically do a c. Section when there is intrauterine death. There are actually a set of guidelines you have to follow I'm training to be a doctor in the us and even we don't jump to carry out c.sections for fetal demise rather you induce labor.The doctor just told her that to calm her down. Every time someone goes under the knife there is a risk. Yes it's is life saving but it isn't ideal.
DeleteMtchwwwww. So sad. RIPP pretty one.
DeleteThere are still good hospitals and nisa premier is one of them. Just have your money. Rip angel
DeleteWhat kind of humans are those people in that hospital, no regard whatsoever for human life. I almost shed tears reading this, goose pimples all over my body.Such a young beautiful lady!!!. God, what is this World turning into.Gush....her husband must be in so much pain.
ReplyDeleteI demand justice for Chisom.
This news came when I just received a bad news from my husband's friend, Mr Onyeka. The wife lost a 5 months set of twins pregnancy, after TTC for several years! But we thank God the wife is alive. BVS pls join me in prayers for this woman. It's a pity.
DeleteWow. So sorry to hear Ageless.
DeleteVery sad and depressing but God will restore her and give her another set of twins with so much ease...and they will be born healthy, safe and sound in Jesus name. Amen
Oh no!
DeleteI am soo sorry AGELESS!
God wil give her another set soon and wipe the tears off her face. Chai!
Pls who has given birth in this hospital(magodo specialist)i just register for antenatal ooo abeg am a first timer.
DeleteGod will surely give her another set of twins soon..
DeleteSorry @ Ageless..
Thanks @ Blog lord, TGHW and Makason.
DeleteVery touching, but it's well.
Hmmmmmmm very painful. May God deliver us from the hands of death Amen.
ReplyDeleteThat is really bad of that hospital. I think it should be boycotted until full investigation is made.
RIP Chisom. May God Almighty comfort your husband and children left behind including your families Amen
My princess where went you sincee?..,
DeleteChai see beautiful woman.Rip
DeleteThis thing is getting too much,birthing is now a death sentence in Nigeria.rip beautiful chisom
ReplyDeleteDo you know I am so tired if all this? We don't even know who to believe again. How can we verify the story??? It seems to bad ti be possible. The doctor snuck bout and left the patient?? Where and why? They left the placenta in her for so long?
DeleteI'm not disputing the writer but I can't bring myself to believe there are no assumptions made in this post. But if course the hospital will come and deny, and there will be ni formal investigation, even if there is e will not hear proper result. Nigeria is a shit hole. I wish I never returned. I give this country 3 years if no proper changes I am out. Ah ah someone cannot come and die.
Yes the Dr actual run away when thing got complicated. I still can't believe it that she is no more.
DeleteIts so sad such an occurrence.i wish such never happen to anyone.
DeleteBut please let's be careful to pass judgement.
The story we have heard is one sided.
From what I read the woman had previously had 2successful deliveries in the hospital and this was her third.
So I suspect she must have some confidence in the system over there.
I'm also a doctor and I know that no well trained medical practitioner will knowingly cause the death of a patient.
An investigation should be carried out as to what really happened no doubt and anyone found culpable should be dealt with.
But till then let's be careful how we pass judgement.
After all we were not there.
I pray God grants the family the strength to bear the loss
I just can't stop crying after reading this. May her soul rest in perfect peace
ReplyDeleteNa me get this fine wife, you kill am in the name of being a doctor, and I go come blog dey report? Mbanu! Mbanu! I go clear that doctor family. Nonsense. Hopeless Zoo.
ReplyDeleteGod forgive me, but I'm with you on this. She's so sweet! Heads will roll.
Delete...and to think she had two beautiful daughters that will never see their beautiful mom or bask in the warmth of her embrace ever again!
DeleteI saw it on Facebook too and I just became speechless. I cant even say anything. T
ReplyDeleteRIP beautiful one. Most doctors and nurses are very callous and unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteI had a baby in at about same time but lost him.
I never missed any ante natal appointment. None of the so called experienced professionals noticed something was amiss.
I complained each time I went to see the gynae,but they always dismissed my concerns.
This is very sad
Not again. May God rest her soul. 😦😦😦😦
ReplyDeleteThis news shattered me this morning.
ReplyDeleteRip beautiful woman
😢😢😢😢😢...RIP dear and may God give your loved ones strength to bear this unfortunate loss.
ReplyDeleteThey should have included the name and phone number of the doctors involved so as to make their lives a living hell. May they never know no peace.
Gross negligence.
ReplyDeleteTsk! tsk!! tsk!!!
See how they wasted this beautiful woman.
Birthing in Nigeria is becoming more scary.
May her soul rest in peace
My heart goes out to her daughters and husband.
That hospital and all medical officers on duty should be thoroughly investigated.
Oh my world. so bad. I am in shock.a beautiful woman.
DeleteI am so scared of child birth esp in Naija. I dobt think my mind is ready for another child after my 2 boys. Devil can mess with someone's mind.
RIP beautiful.
Jeez! SOme of these Doctors are ritualists. This is koro-koro murder.
ReplyDeleteGod we are in your hands, do not forsake or abandon us ...Amen
Its a pity
This fine girl?...
ReplyDeleteJesus!..
All these general hospitals in Nigeria are dead trap!...
They will only attend to you when you know someone working there...
Please,if you don't have money to travel out,go to a good private hospital ...
At least those ones are more reliable!...
What a waste!...
Mumu,where in the right up did you read about General hospital
DeleteMadam ITK magodo specialist is a private hospital
DeleteIt's a private hospital.
DeleteQueen and boss private hospital is the worst.
DeleteWhat she means is that most private hospitals are glorified general hospital.
DeleteChisom looks so pretty. Chai! May her soul RIP. Na wah o
ReplyDeleteSo sad! I feel so sorry for her little children
ReplyDeleteThis is sad.we demand justice for chisom
ReplyDeleteJezzzz
ReplyDeleteBeautiful young woman
Rip
Nigeria is a dead country
R.I.P Chisom, I hope this case will not be swept under the carpet and the doctor will be lose his licence. Most Nigerian doctors are evil, they are so arrogant and careless, that is how one female doctor in uniben health centre goes about prescribing drugs to patients without checking to know if the patient reacts to the drugs, she has done it to two people I know, I only hope that she doesn't kill someone due to her nonchalant and negligent attitude.
ReplyDeleteThis fine girl is dead???😢😢😢
ReplyDeleteShe died and the baby died too?😫😫😫😫😫
Oh no!
No woman should die during delivery due to negligence😫
Not in this age and time!
Kai! Her poor hubby. Her parents and siblings😢
Chai!
Chisom,Nne rest in peace!😢
And may God comfort ur loved ones😢
Her daughters she left behind 😥😥😥😥😥
DeleteAnd her two daughters too. So sad. Rip Chisom
DeleteSue the hospital and the doctors. May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteRip beautiful soul!!!!
ReplyDeleteHer life was just cut short. Who's going to take care of her girls? She was beautiful. In nigeria, the doctors and nurses who are meant to be care givers are actually devils incarnate. They are so mean, may her soul rest in peace. The family should organise people and burn that hospital down, hunt the doctor and kill him.
ReplyDeleteThis just broke my pain....
ReplyDeleteOrdinary Menstrual pain and it is as if I should read my skull.
#SueTheirArse.
#JusticeForChisom.
#NoToLazyDoctors.
Such a georgous woman wasted like that. My God grant her husband the fortitude to bear the Loss.
*broke my heart.
Delete*tear my skull
I pray God comfort her family, it's pathetic to say the least. Why induce her when her husband had paid for surgery
ReplyDeleteSleep on Chisom
This is 100% heart breaking. I hate stories like this. It should be thoroughly investigated. Why loss life while trying to give life!! God's kingdom should come already
ReplyDeleteThis is sad!! Some doctors don't deserve to be given license. Rip cute woman.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen i am around ooo busy small but now i am fully back. Good morning
ReplyDeleteHmmmm such a beautiful lady.
ReplyDeletePlease from my little experience how can one person labour for 4days, even the baby will become tired and distressed and finally die. They try and avoid that abroad because the baby's heart rate will start dropping.
Don't know how its done in Nigeria.
If you are labouring for more than 24/48hrs should the person not be either induced or a CS is done to bring out the baby ASAP.
I'm no doctor but this is so wrong. The dead baby may have even harmed the mother. They should have removed immediately.
I just wonder for these hospitals in this country.
RIP beautiful lady
I wonder too. Rem after my first baby thru CS. the second one the Dr said she can only give me 18hrs during labour after that its Cs. I agreed but another Dr(same hospital) on the day of delivery told me to deliver vaginally cos its over 2yrs of the previous. God showed me mercy and he came after 12hrs.
Delete4 days labour? God forbid. She/the hubby could has asked for CS naa. God bless her soul
So sad!
ReplyDeleteSuch young and beautiful lady!
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace.
But some hospital can so neglect their patients.
#justiceforchisom
Sad..
ReplyDeleteNegligence in naija is terrible
ReplyDeleteGod Knows Best.
ReplyDeleteRest on Beautiful......😞
So sad. I fear Nigerian hospitals.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital and doctor should be sued.
So sad. I fear Nigerian hospitals.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital and doctor should be sued.
NGOs related in health aspect should collaborate together into this issue and many other issues as regarding health since the government will never do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteThat hospital should be shut down. What kind of negligence is this. No respect for human lives again.
Rip Chisom. I pray they get justice for you and put a stop to his negligence
Magodo Specialist na useless hospital, people should stop going there
ReplyDeleteJust Wow Wow So much for the Hippocrate's oath..These Doctors are big hypocrites I Tell you. So what will be their excuse?? That government has not been listening to our plight or no facilities to cater for patients? I feel bad already..she is just too pretty to die(am not sorry to say this)..When will the common man stop crying for the basic amenities for a government to do that has taken Nigeria so many years?? Governments have come and gone and still sing the same lullaby to provide basic amenities which is a right for every citizen but no we prefer to hail and praise for something that they should do..Africa My Africa which way for the greedy leaders??
ReplyDeleteKai. What kind of double tragedy is this. May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heart breaking. The fear of Nigerian hospitals is the beginning of wisdom. Only God can comfort the family members she left behind. May this beautiful soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteRip chisom
ReplyDeleteWhy wont we experience such things, when the universities who train them prefer to take those who are
ReplyDeleteto pay 500k and above, rather than the intelligent ones, thats what we will continue to get. R.I.P. Chisom.
God bless you abundantly for this clarification, this is just the beginning till we admit the right thinking students into medical schools not arrogant children of Rich men.
DeleteRip chisom
ReplyDeleteThis is sad....Lord have mercy! Such a cute woman. It is well
ReplyDeleteMost of this Nigeria doctors don't know anything,they will pay their way to the univeraity to go read medicine and come out and start killing peoples children.
ReplyDeleteLoud it der.
DeleteGOVERNMENT OR WHOEVER PLEASE CEASE THEIR LICENSE AND CLOSE DOWN THE HOSPITAL.
ReplyDeleteI am screaming ...... tears running down... so so so so so unfair ..
@Stella, let me tell you a few things I know as a medical doctor to help you:
ReplyDeleteWhen where is "Intrauterine death" (IUD), doctors do not do cesarean section; the evacuate by "whatsoever means"(induction, suction, decapitation, etc.); so this procedure was followed.
Whatever went wrong did so during the "4 days wait" at the hospital or even before admission. Usually women in labor do not come in four days to delivery, something must have been possibly wrong which only the doctors can tell us.
The doctors/nurses ought to have detected IUD earlier???
Probable cause of death; "toxic shock syndrome" -TSS (blood infection) following that induction. There are precautions taken prior to such "risky" induction which ??? if they were followed.
Solution: Expert autopsy in a trusted government hospital will give out a lot and legally it can be taken from there.
Please enlighten me on why doctors don't do Cs in case of IUD.
DeleteThank you, sometimes I shake my head when I read all the overnight medical experts on this blog. Why are we killing ourselves to study when they seem to know everything.
DeleteRIP pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteMay God judge every1 accordingly.
Even if i want to birth 50 babies,I can never step the entrance of hospital either private or general.
If you for do am inside house, go ahead.
DeleteUr last statement?????? You won't give birth in a hospital?????
DeleteRIP ma
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster. This is heart breaking. What kind of life is this?
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful. Hubby is a doctor. But if you see the way he prays for the delivery day ehh. His own opinion is we should pray to meet the right nurses and doctors because some of us can take you to an early grave.
ReplyDeleteRIP beautiful lady. This is so unfair. 😧😢😢😢.
ReplyDeleteNo woman should die during child birth..... Chineke.....
ChyAdaJesus
This is the hospital that l use oo,the owner of the hospital is a gynaecology who trained in UK.
ReplyDeleteHe might not be the one.maybe one of his employee. But I have to say this.most doctors employ people in their establishment but don't go on daily basis for ward round (even when they didn't travel).
DeleteWe had an experience where a long lost family friend daughter was in pain and went to a reputable Hosp(cos of the owner), the doctor there was treating typhoid and hung different infusion for the poor girl. No improvement for two days till the father called my husband that he learnt we now reside in that state whether he is in town to help check her daughter (the girl is in the uni where we reside). My hubby upon asking the girl few qstns knew right there that she requires immediate surgery. Ruptured appendix and he had to give them some excuse and moved the girl straight to perform a scan and boom! It was as he suspected. The surgery was done on the girl till the parent came in the next day.
Pls all private owners of hospitals shouldn't entrust their establishment to their employees, check them,don't feel too big to go for a daily ward round and put things in order
Aunti! Say what you know! Go to their hospitals website and correct what you felt you knew. Chai!
DeleteRip young Lady, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhy will anyone want to give birth in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteYour leaders, ordinary ear ache and pimple, immediately they travel abroad.
You think they want to die? They know their hospitals are useless na.
You are only sacrificial meat for these hospitals o, some even use you as lab rat. Abeg if you can't travel far,like Canada and UK, try go South Africa or Ghana.
Those countries will do everything to save a life out of a sense of duty and also because they know that avoidable deaths are big blows to their brands. Naija don't care o, they sabi say that Nigerians no get sense. After they shout small, dey go go club, shake bum bum. Life goes on.
RIP
*NB My opinion is that most Nigerian nurses are from the deepest pit of hell. It is like the agony and screams in patients voices is sweeter than Davido's music in their ears. My prayer is that, that is how they will be screaming for eternity in Hell fire as well. Amen.
God please provide for us so we can go give birth in the abroad
DeleteEven Togo still good sistah.
DeleteYour hospitals na correct ABATTOIR.
Chisom's story not only broke my heart, it made my blood boil. How is it that those who swear to protect lives have the least regards for it. Hospitals and Dr(s) need to understanding that they are providing a SERVICE to people and all these negligence needs to stop 'yesterday'! As moms, we have to make it our business to 👀 out for one another. If you've had a terrible experience with any service, please send us your experience so we'd share it with others. I can't but think, if only Chisom knew of a previous mom's experience at Magodo Specialist Hospital, may be she wouldn't have gone there. #TheWorldLostanAngel #Justice4Chisom #RIP #AfricanLivesMatter #AfricanMommy
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteWe really do something about the state of our hospitals, cos not everybody has money to birth abroad. Most of our hospitals are death traps may God help us ooo
Sad
ReplyDeleteSad
Sad
Rest in peace beautiful Chisom.
My heart goes out to the hubby and her lovely daughters..
Na wah ooo for some hospitals..
The hospital should be closed down.The owner works with Luth
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad and heart breaking. The hospital is being sued so I think we should also hear from them. Sometimes in stories like this there is more to what meets the eye. Stella, let me tell you a story that happened 5 months ago in the hospital where I work. A woman was in labour and she came into the labour ward, before then during her antenatal period she was diagnosed with HIV and she commenced medications but she didn't tell her husband her status and it is wrong to disclose such information without the patient's permission. While she was just 2cm dilated the fetal membranes ruptured (her water broke), at that point in order to prevent mother to child transmission you deliver her within 4hours and seeing that she was just 2cm dilated (she was a first timer), vaginally delivery wouldn't be possible in 4hours so to prevent infecting the child CS was advised. The woman refused CS. She refused to give us consent and didn't give us permission to tell her husband because for her husband to sign, he needed to understand the indication for the CS. Well we had her sign a refusal form and allowed labour to progress. At some point, labour became obstructed and we needed an EMERGENCY CS to save her life and the baby, the woman still refused and her husband was not around. His numbers were not reachable. This was a difficult decision. Finally we got a hold of the husband and explained the need for the CS excluding the previous diagnosis. By the time the child was delivered, the baby was severely asphyxiated and despite vigorous resuscitation baby didn't make it. The father was alerted and all hell broke loose. He said he was going to sue the hospital as we didn't act fast enough. We still dif't divulge the real issue. The wife when she was stable had to calm the husband. The woman was discharged and the husband was still unaware of what really happened. The wife refused to tell him. If the woman had died due to delay only the medical practitioners in charge of her case would have known the true cause. Though the two stories are unrelated, we should give the other party a fair hearing. I'm not trying to justify any action, it is sad that a life was lost but we need to know the true root cause. Let us not just throw blames till we hear from both parties
ReplyDeletemagodo specialist hospital is a very good hospital with outstanding medical officers, i pray may the soul of the faithful departed rest in peace.
