Man who slumped while jogging in Lagos yesterday has died

Remember the man who slumped while jugging along Stepping Stone bus stop in Satellite town Lagos yesterday morning? (read here). The man has died. A close family friend said the man, who has been identified as Sunny Enebong, died yesterday. He probably suffered a heart attack but didn't get help in time because instead of calling an ambulance, passersby surrounded him and was just staring at him. So sad. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

      I don't understand why lagosIans choose to stop and stare. Even if you can't help, find someone who can Jesus. I've been in this same situation and I ran to find the nearest person to come check on the man. Simple. What will it take out of anyone. And to think the building they are standing in front of has blood of Jesus at the top. The painful irony.
      And people need to be trained in first aid mehn. Urgh! Preventable shit like this just annoys my soul. May he rest in peace.

      So in Nigeria people don't know how to perform CPR to save fellow human being? Children in daycare in US will show u how to perform CPR to save life. Healthcare workers in Nigeria start to educate the public on live saving skills.

      Linda to u, use your blog to educative people and not showing egg plant. Very irritating. If u like post my comment.

      Shalom in Nigeria, Amen

      Anon 3:02pm, sad but you are right. That is why legislation is key. In the states, they have something called the "Good Samaritan" law, where if a passerby/random person is proven to attempt to help someone in distress or administer something like CPR for example, they are pretty much held harmless for any liability. i.e. If the victim still ends up dying, the law covers them from being charged.

      When people go on and on at how moral/religious we are, I call attention to the blatant general disregard for human life in our society. I've seen dead bodies on 3ML, on Osborne laying there for hours. Different stories of how someone just stabbed someone because he took his seat. How a woman poured acid on another or worse still using children for human sacrifice. Zero compassionate!

    Linda, I hope you get to read this. I think you could do Nigerians a favor by doing a short video or story perhaps in conjunction with Road Safety on how to respond Emergencies. Nigerians don't know how to respond to emergencies and it makes it appear as if they are evil...just standing and looking. where is the humanity? So perhaps if you can get to teach people what they need to do or who to call it could change things...Linda, Be A Hero
