Comedian Elder O who lost his wife on the 6th of
December, 2014 shortly after child birth has explained how it all happened. See excerpts from his sad revelation below:
“I don’t want to question God, but I’m yet to understand why
he allowed my wife to die during childbirth. My wife delivered safely on Friday
through a caesarean operation and died in the afternoon of the following day,
around 3.p.m. The management of Havana hospital told us they needed to operate
on her to remove a fibroid growth before embarking on the delivery. Both
operations were successfully done and she was responding to treatment before
finally giving up the following day.
We did our best to save the life of my darling wife, but she
still died. When the hospital requested for blood, we brought excess, even me
and few family members also donated our blood on the spot. In fact, I was
making arrangements for more blood, coupled with the one already donated when
she died. I still cannot believe my wife is dead. All the plans I have for her
and our forthcoming first wedding anniversary are all gone, just like that. But
why me? I know how many widows and orphans I’m training and supporting. I also
know how many indigent pregnant women I’ve paid their delivery fees at
different hospitals. So, why is my own different?” He asked amid uncontrollable
sobs. The body of his late wife has also been taken to a morgue in
Abia State pending when a date will be picked for the burial.
