Popular dancer, choreographer and part actress Kemi Omotoyinbo has died.
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 yesterday 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 last 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
Truly sad! May her soul rest in peace...amen.
