Popular dancer, choreographer and
part actress Kemi Omotoyinbo is dead.
The beautiful lady who danced for
several popular musicians including Pasuma, KWAM 1 and Shina Peters, died
during childbirth in a private hospital in Lagos on October 1st exactly
20 days after her wedding to husband Godwin Eloanyi, which was on September
13th.
According to her friends, Kemi was
in and out of labour for several days in a private hospital and when she
couldn’t give birth the natural way, doctors said she would have to do a
C&S.
The doctors told her the operation
would cost N450k and demanded an initial deposit of N300k before they do it.
According to Kemi’s friends, the
husband couldn’t come up with the money immediately but begged the hospital to
carry on with the operation that he would pay the next day (October 1st) but
the hospital insisted on the deposit and refused to carry out the operation.
Sadly, Kemi passed away that night.
How one of her friends told the
story of what happened to Kemi
“Kemi wouldn’t have died if the
doctors did pay attention to her. She was in labour for several days and was
asked to pay certain amount of money before she could be operated upon.
The truth is that Kemi was in labour
for over one week. She tried in vain to give birth the normal way but the baby
just didn’t come.
Eventually the doctor told her she
would have to go through C&S. It was termed emergency C&S.
The hospital told her husband that
they would have to pay a sum of 450,000 for her to be operated upon.
He also said that before anything
could be done they would have to make a deposit of 300,000.
The husband made several efforts to
raise 300,000 but deposited all he had.
He begged the doctors to please go
ahead with the operation and would pay before the next day.
That was on October 1st , the night
she died.”
“Kemi’s husband said he would pay
the money the next day but the doctor refused and stated categorically that he
would not move an inch else he pays 300,000.
It was at that point Kemi decided to
forward messages to people she knows so she could get help.
She got responses that money would
be made available to her the next day.
On hearing that the husband went to
beg the doctors again, still they refused.
No bank was opened and nothing could
be done until Thursday October 2nd but unfortunately she gave up the ghost that
night.
My point is, the doctors knew she
had to go through emergency C&S. they could have saved her life and get the
money later. Nigeria is a very bad country I must confess.” one of her friends
said
May Her Sour Rest In Peace.
