Photos: The epileptic man on the road

The LIB reader who sent this wants me to post it exactly the way she wrote it. See below...
"What happened today, 5th of january, 2015 shows what Nigeria has become today. The average man in Nigeria is helpless ( I write this with all sincerity of heart)
Today an epileptic man was lying helplessly on the side of the road vibrating and lying faced down. People drove by, walked by and no one seemed to care and because of the epidemic virus- ebola no one wanted to touch him  and that is very understandable.

We were 5 or 6 of us so who cared. what did we do? We called for an ambulance three different times and were we told “IT WASNT AN EMERGENCY”. Then we called the ebola line maybe they would handle the situation with more efficiency. UNFORTUNATELY the person who picked the call heard the story and cut off the call...imagine that! So we didn’t bother to call for help again! 

So we hoped that the epilepsy would calm down, but unfortunately it became worse and due to that he ended up falling in the gutter (which was full of stale water), he could have lost his life. So 2 men were able to bring him out and then we got a doctor who lived nearby to come help us .. HOURS went by and FINALLY! He came back! He remembered his name & was able to speak………

At the end of the day, he got come money for transport, a change of cloths and definitely some advice from the doctor! I’m so grateful he didn’t have to lose his life.

If the roads was tarred his asthma wouldn’t have been at the extreme. If the gutter was properly drained, He wouldn’t have drowned. If we had reliable health care services in this country he would have gotten better treatment and probably not have gotten that epileptic attack. If we had an effective ambulance system and if the ebola line was effective too he would have been in the hospital getting better treatment. If we weren’t caring enough to help him! Who knows??? He could have lost his life.  
Nigeria needs a turnaround before its too late!!!

And as for this country, the health sector is terribly getting worse by the day, if it were to be where there are distributing money they won't fail to be there.

  38. Bros it's too late for any turn around for Nigeria - we do not want any change. Inspire of our half-hearted Lamentations we are content the Situation of things in the country. If I were you I would be the one to turn around and leave Nigeria! All we do is blame our leaders instead of accepting responsibility and trying to make the changes ourselves.

    It might be our leaders' fault that we don't have a proper healthcare system but is it also their fault that people would just walk by a man in fits without trying to help? There is ABSOLUTELY NO EBOLA in Nigeria so what is the excuse? Sorry to say it but Nigerians are very heartless. Nobody cares for the other person. There is NO WAY any country can prosper with this attitude prevalent in the vast majority of its people.

    I have spoken enough.

Country where there is better social system, country where people work to travel for a cool holiday in summer not to save mum to take care of old parents because their parents have a better pension plan. Country where okada riders will not cut your life short and people say that's how God want it, country where single mothers live like kings and gov pay their rents, country where every child born is being pay by government till he or she is. 18. Country where there is dignity of labour. Country where the rich pay more tax than the poor, country where every citizen is registered and be a passport with a charge for it. Country where police protect and maintain law and order. Let me stop here and pray for Jonathan our president, I weep for Africa

    The story though is not complete without knowing the exact state it happened. Sometimes every problem is not a 'Nigeria' problem. The states and the local governments have Their parts to play too. Also individuals needs to be 'their brother's keeper' whether as a passer-by or an emergency unit worker.

  67. God bless u for helping, but you need to add awareness to the list of what Nigerians need. The truth of the matter is that most people believe that you are not to touch an epileptic person having an attack. It's not about ebola cos it's been there for ages. I don't know whether it's a tradition or what, but you'll see even family members saying don't touch, till he gets over it.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Thank God of the poster and others who helped. It's sad how uncaring many have become, even if the Ebola number couldn't help shouldn't they have helped to call the appropriate people.

  83. So was he epileptic or asthmatic? I am not a medical doctor or student for that matter, but there is no way both things are related right?! Anywho, our country has gone to the dogs and it is left to us; the youths who have being fed crumbs from the master's table, like Lazarus, to do something before there is no country left. Because this country is ours and soon the Buharis and GEJs will die and we will be left with a crippled economy, debts and war. Let us effect change, but don't ask me how.

  100. The mindset of most Nigerians is usually "mind our business" we usually don't care what happens around us and in this world of social media, we would rather take pictures and record videos for FB, twitter, instagram and the likes. What we need is orientation on how to care for our brothers and sisters regardless of blood relations.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Nicely composed... You still wouldn't blame people, when in our dear country if someone dies when you are trying to help him/her, you become a suspect to the police when they won't properly investigate and such person gets locked up for being a Good Samaritan. 24th of December 2014, police men from the Ajah zonal command saw a helpless young man who got stabbed for allegedly throwing fire works and they couldn't rush him to the hospital, they asked the family to go look for someone to help them get him to the hospital. Unfortunately, the young man died and they still asked the family to find means of transporting the dead body to the station.... That's the country we live in and the reason why so many people just don't care.

  102. Nigerian need to be educated. Simple First aid skill such as CPR average HSE or DOctors may not know. Saw a video once when a man fainted and the crowd was holding and rubbing on to his genital .Parents too are guilty of such negligent in knowledge. Some don't know simple First aid for Kids. When their kids choke they blame the devil or people around . Anyway since most peps have Google browser they should be able to down load the app """First aid by British Red cross"".It tells you what to do in situations. AS FOR THE EPILEPSY GUY , all the crowd could have done in a country like Nigeria where there isn't a reliable medical service is to ensure he is safe .protecting his head and removing any or him from danger close by and putting him later in recovery position when he is done so he doesn't choke on his vomit . Linda is ranked 1st on Google search in Nigeria , people be smart and educate yourselves .It's nice to read blogs but you may need simple tips to save some one close to you.
    LINDA take advantages of people reading your blog, aside from all the gossip,show off of peps ,money give away and some important NEWS, also your BLOG should be educative and empowering . YOU don't know who is reading . A & F

  117. All they need is to be educated , having values for things that matter and conscience. Funny in enough most think they have values but when you look closer they are moved by everything that doesn't matter..... Knowledge is power but when power is in the hands of a selfish, non ethical or one with no values or moral ,then you question if they are not animals.Truth is we are in a world filled with Animals living among us.

  123. Thank God he didn't die. I already knew dat Nigeria has deterioted to dis level. I feel it is even worse dan dis. As it is now, d life of a goat is of higher value than dat of a human being. Many NIgerians don't know d level of untold hardship and pain their fellow Nigerians are facing. Some of them dat know stil want d govt to continue. Wat a shame.

  129. When I was younger, there was the popular man in my area he was epileptic, guess how he died? He had an attack, fell in the gutter and drowned in the stale water .

  138. He should have some form of ID on himself-maybe a wrist band that says epileptic with a next of kins details...or even a t-shirt underneath. Nigeria can be a cruel country when ignorance is unchallenged
    but God bless you for trying...amen

  140. Epilepsy isn't contagious....it's a neurological damage dt may result from a birth injury hereby causin over firing and excessive discharge of impulses......
    If u see such person,just try to prevent him from hitting any nearby object....don't pour water on him or try to restrain him(as u may cause mor injury)....
    U may place a padded stick in his mouth to prevent him from biting off his tongue...,if nt ,just let him finish and help him get his consciousness bak wif simple questions.....
    If u ve knowledge about sometin,enlighten d public,don't abuse them

  141. Thank God for his life and God bless u and d oda samaritans.... please Linda we would appreciate if u get a medical Doctor to come sensitize people on Epilepsy, so people don't stigmatise d patient and refrain from helping, a lot of people think Epilepsy is contagious, where as it's not.... pls let's knw first aid, "it can be u".....

  152. Can you imagine, the much publicize Ebola lines are not responding to an emergency case. What if the man was suffering from Ebola many people would have contact it by now and the thing will be spreading like a wild fire b4 we wake to reality.
