A twenty-five year old Nigerian student in the US, Bassey Effiong studying at the university of Western Michigan has died on Saturday, March 28,2020 after he was refused test for coronavirus.
Bassey who was supposed to graduate in a few weeks with a degree in Chemical Engineering complained of fever, fatigue and shortness of breath before he passed on from complications resulting from the virus.
His sister, Asari revealed that he was turned down several times for the coronavirus test and one medical staffer insisted he had bronchitis.

That is really weird, because if you have those sysmtoms, you are quickly tested.
ReplyDeleteThat is if you are the right colour.
Delete😔😭😭
ReplyDeleteThis is just terrible 💔💔
Sad. Rip
ReplyDeleteIs there now racism involved? He looks like he may have been high risk because he probably was obese or diabetic??
ReplyDeleteRIP bro.
M’y thoughts exactly when I read it earlier today.
DeleteMay his soul Rest In Peace, amen.
DeleteYea, certainly the case.
DeleteWhite Enchantress Baibay, been a min godmama. 😍😍 How are you and the bun? 🤗
A nurse did a video on Facebook saying they assess patients and choose who is highly likely to survive and attend to. It is so sad bright lights this disease is putting off.
DeleteSo sad. Rest in peace
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in perfect peace.

OMG, do they turn people off in abroad. This is really sad.
ReplyDeleteWasted money, wasted life, wasted journey.
May God comfort your families. May He gives your soul eternal rest Amen
If you die in friendship with God, nothing is a waste. Life has no meaning except for him.
DeleteYori princess, after reading your comment, I now understand you and your views on issues better.
DeleteYeah they are turning down some people. It’s not all cases they want to attend to. They are overwhelmed and they don’t really bother with some cases. They have seen more deaths and they are even very tired of getting cases.
DeleteIn Spain now, over 12,000 health workers are infected. Right now cases don’t mean so much to them now.
It’s just a sad thing. After all the struggle.
Rest in peace dear
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity.
ReplyDeleteAnd more Nigerians want to go there right now. Those that choose money over life.
The family should sue sue sue straight up!
ReplyDeleteRest in peace
ReplyDeleteSad. Rip to him
ReplyDeleteSad
ReplyDeleteRIP
May his soul rest in peace, I hope the family is aware of his death
ReplyDeleterasism and ignorance is alive
ReplyDeleteThere might be two side to the real story..R.I.P
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace. This is painful.
ReplyDeleteSo sad,may we never weep on any of our children.
ReplyDeleteRIP young man
Stop shouting racism when tribalism is rampart in Nigeria! America is really about classism and zip code when resources are limited. A lot of Nigerians come here and live in the pseudo ghettoes of la bonito in Houston, and the equivalents in other major cities still eating their bokotos and leather skin and using expired Tura and crusader.
ReplyDeleteThe poor boy must have been misdiagnosed though there is no excuse when shortness of breath is presented. Most people I know in healthcare have given themselves and loved ones plaquenil as prophylaxis and exhausted it’s supply before the moron allowed fda to approve it yesterday. It was gone unless he releases the strategic reserve. I told some Nigerians weeks ago when the protocols of some countries were circulating in the inner caucus medical community, they ignored it while oyinbos were gobbling up doses for their wives and even children’s girlfriends! Now they are looking for it while the WH orange man gave his cronies and insiders time to buy up the existing inventory. Go To A Well Trained Dr, not “ my daddy knows the vc medical Drs” nowadays cutting up wombs to bring out babies get yourself Hydroxychloroquine 400mgQD daily for 10 days then start Zithromax 500mg for 5 days after because they both prolong the QT interval of the heart. The French protocol ignores that and uses 600mg hydroxychloroquine at the same time as 500mg Zith but many here have Stents and other cardiac issues so it’s not advisable. I got for all my friends and family, the remaining 2 doses I have are for my friend’s children whose parents are in Nigeria.if you have a person with highly placed sources in this country do not ignore their free info. Oyinbos did not mind paying $500 per dose for 20 people but Nigerians were like “... keep some for me” not paying as if the person got it free. I have given you info you will not find anywhere. Stella stop blocking me deliberately but share this so those with the raw materials can produce it. Don’t buy chloroquine as it’s elimination half life is over 45 days and if you just took it you are most likely fine unless it’s fake and could die of chloroquine poisoning even if it’s not fake! Chinese protocol is chloroquine because it’s cheaper but the west including the us folks who just announced it have been taking hydroxychloroquine 400mgQD once a day for 10 days. Don’t thank me as several oyinbo Drs have been but thank God if you can get the South Korea or French protocol. America has 300 million people who travel and trust me, the survival instinct has made scientists work 24 hour days for weeks. Nobody listens to this president. Some suspect they have all taken it as prophylaxis. I believe it. It’s driven by the states. It’s just for funding provided by the congress they need him! Don’t abuse me like those regretting and now willing to pay $1000 per dose here! I’m a professional who was so bothered after a very rich patient gave me a scrambled doc on the protocols I had to tell the other Nigerians in the community as it was widely available up till then. Most ignored me. Some asked me to send a scrambled doc as evidence of its efficacy not minding its use in some places effectively and that Stanford and UAB did the initial research!
Thank you for this info.I will let my friend know.
DeleteBe wary of taking drugs based on unverified claims. People have died of abusing drugs. Most people have underlying health issues they are unaware of so please be careful. A word is enough for the wise. May God have mercy on us
