Minor sugeries still wasting lives in 9ja, rest beautiful one.
Making heaven is what matters at the end of the day, not how long we lived on earth but that we finally rested in Christ Jesus. May her beautiful soul continue to RIP. This is a lesson for the living.
Rest in peace cut cuttie.
Oh my God, how can she travel from UK to Nigeria to receive treatment, I think there is something wrong somewhere, this is unbelievable such a beautiful and potential small girl, may your soul rest in peace in Jesus name.
If you are a true child of God then death is a gain! However it is written' with long life and prosperity our God will satisfy us' fair well my dear.
So sad may her gentle soul rest in peace
Such confidence! rest on dear
... Merited happiness
What I'm I missing here?? She was in UK. She got sick. She travels to WHERE to get treatment. Can somebody help explain this to me??
When Buhari is going abroad to get treatment she is coming back to Nigeria.
It didn't have to end like this. May her soul rest in peace.
My thoughts exactly, she flew from London to receive treatment in Nigeria. Odikwa egwu, ordinary appendix in 2017 still killing people here. This country is doomed. All these witchcraft doctors will not locate us Gods children in Jesus name. AMEN
Exactly the question I asked myself...from Uk to Nigeria for medical treatment? Sadly it was a fatal decision.
Quite sad!
Asin ehn, you leave uk to come to nigeria for surgery..may her soul rest in peace
Pretty girl. RIP! So Sad!
I kept waiting to read the part of why she would leave the UK to go to Nigeria for her treatment. It's mind boggling, unless you're talking about attending a church for some kind of deliverance in Nigeria. Anyway regardless it's very sad and hope her family can bear the loss. RIP to her.
The sad question is why did she go for surgery in Nigeria if she was from here....don't make sense
😓😓😓. May her pretty soul RIP.
HEYA RIP Dear
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Amen ur blessed soul rest in Peace
She didnt say what was wrong with her till she came to Nigeria, she had been dealing with pain, if only she just went to the GP before she came home for Easter hols, just so sad but in ALL we give thanks to the Almighty God. Happy easter all
The story was unclear? Why did she not undergo surgery in England and why travel to Nigeria for surgery in the first place? People don't die for that type of surgery in UK, they hardly die...
She probably died ignorantly! Going to Nigeria for surgery was a big mistake! R.I.P. UK has better medical facilities.
From the story,she was a student of Birmingham university.Here in the Uk,as a student (be it international or home student) or citizen,You will be under NHS which offers you free medical services.Surgery like Appendix is totally free.Am wondering why she left U.K. To go to Nigeria for surgery.Something is not adding up..It is well.Rip beautiful..
Ohh my,rip dear
She wanted to make history for being the first person t leave UK to Nigeria for Surgery and history made her..
RIP
Nawa o! May her soul rip
Rest in his blossom dearly beloved
Long live LIB
Rip dear
Rip dear
Something is wrong with this picture. why did she not seek care in UK???? Nigerians will botch even surgery to remove bone stuck on the skin. Jesus have mercy.
Rip ��
As much as I do not like the social media and in a lot of pain over the passing of a very beautiful soul, I choose to make this comment just to lay to rest the speculations about the decision to come to Nigeria with regards to Kika. Kika was having stomach ache that wouldn't get better even after a visit to her GP in Birmingham and one to the A&E. She was wrongly diagnosed as having food poisoning; NHS if you know well would normally not give give antibiotics as first option of treatment. Based on available information, her parents decided she should come home/Nigeria where we have better access to antibiotics. She was immediately taken to the hospital upon arrival and had a CT scan done, where it was discovered that what she was having was indeed appendicitis and not food poisoning as diagnosed by the NHS but at thIs point it had ruptured and doctors prescribed immediate surgery. The parents wanted to take her back to England for the surgery but doctors advised against it as it was already critical, no one knew for sure how long it had been ruptured. She didn't die during surgery, she died hours post op.
Thank you all for the your kind words and condolences! I'd kindly ask that we're sensitive to the family as laying blame at the parents only hurt some more. The Lord bless you and yours
She for travel back na...alll this docor be killing people
Chat! Tragic.
Such a Beauty.
May her Soul Rest In Perfect Peace.
She traveled to Nigeria because unfortunately the doctors in the UK were unable to give a diagnosis. They didn't know what was wrong with her. Gross negligence on their part.

I don't really understand this story. RIP
It's not a complex surgery why d death dat hospital need to be investigated. This is 2017 medicine has improved I did mine 1999 and u I had no issues so she left duk with better facility to comto to this country I don't follow
RIP Kika
@To God be the glory, thanks for full explanation therefore it was not the late girl's fault for going to Nigeria because she was allegedly misdiagnosed by a GP in England. The story writer is obviously not a journalist and failed to investigate what led to her death properly, and it also led to assumptions about the late girl! May she RIP besides it could have happened to anybody. Folks! Things don change for Iya Charlie contri o!
RIP beautiful girl.
But wait a minute - left the UK to receive surgery in Nigeria???? There's more to this than meets the eye!
That was too harsh.. God knows Best.. May her soul rest in peace
Pls ruptured appendix needs an exploratory laparotomy which is a major surgery and there can be complications even death.Its different from appendectomy- which is like a minor surgery.

Enter your comment...RIP Luv. In d bossom of d lord.
So sad. May her soul rest in peace, amen
The same Jesus, the son of the living God, who is one with the Father, has granted you Kika, a place in his kingdom for voicing out your desire and trust in him before you expired. Even though a very painful death for your loved ones and those of us still sojourning in this world, for you, God knows that there could not have been a better time to die than when you did. Requiscat In Pacem.
Knowing she was coming for a surgery of some stuff in Nigeria which will be around Easter holiday which probably is usually celebrated in Nigeria with her folks. For me doing surgery where families and friends will be around to care for her after the surgery could have been the unanimous reason why Nigeria was the perfect place ahead of UK. In any case whatever will go wrong will go wrong. Who knows, God may just have taken her away from where she was susceptible to sinning and draw her close to Him before calling her home.My brothers and sisters, no leave drops from the tree without God's knowledge. Kika left at the time she was predestined to depart. I believe she's in a better place now, it is well with her soul. R.I.P Kika.
RIP beautiful one. It just feels like I know her. A priceless jewel. May God console the family.
Please whether Nigeria or abroad, don't fail to scrutinize prescribed medicine and the doctor who prescribed it. God made both doctors in Nigeria and abroad. God alone heals while doctors cure. Don't be over confident with the doctors abroad. Sometimes, they give wrong diagnosis and are not perfect too. Most of us nigerians are ignorant, not an insult though. We believe everything abroad is perfect, far from that.
Hello , i know her personally and the UK doctors DID NOT ATTEND TO HER PROPERLY! . Our Nigerian Doctors found out the cause of illness within ONE DAY . The UK doctors kept sending her up and down for 8MONTHS . They are the ones that delayed her treatment ; if the Uk doctors treated her earlier she would be here today !
HAVE FAITH IN YOUR COUNTRY PLEASE ! And respect the family !
Rest on dear
REST IN PEACE DEAREST SIS AND TO THOSE OF US WHO DOES NOT HAVE FAITH IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY GOD HELP US,D YOUNG LADY DIED DUE TO D NEGLIGENCE OF D DOCTORS IN D UK, SHE HAS BEEN HAVING PAINS FOR MONTHS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER AND WERE JUST GIVING PAIN KILLERS BUT D DOCTORS HERE IN NIGERIA WERE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT D PROBLEM IS IMMEDIATELY SHE GOT TO NIGERIA. IT IS UNFORTUNATE DAT SHE DIED AFTER THE SURGERY BUT I BELIEVE D APPENDICES HAS RUTURE FOR A WHILE AND HAS EVEN BEEN INFECTED BUT ALL IN ALL WE GIVE GOD D GLORY FOR A LIFE WELL SPENT.
Reading all these comments I'm disgusted how I'll minded you all are, I'm a student in the Uk and to receive treatment here is damn near impossible. Some of the local hospitals won't attend to you, or if you have an infection they blame it on stress or something else. They never look at the deep problems like right now I need to get my teeth removed because my wisdom tooth is growing, though I have been to several doctors they keep giving excuses to why I can't get it removed the best option is to obviously go back to Nigeria. So as you can see Kika obviously visited the uk GP multiple times but they didn't want to look for the bigger picture, they didn't take the matter seriously and maybe just blamed it on stress or an infection which can be cured using antibiotics. You people should stop judging things you don't know about just because it's the Uk doesn't mean their health care is the ultimate
