My daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 3. She has been well looked after . She attended main stream schools now doing her A levels . I am so grateful to the UK government for their care and support
Ignorance is what makes us perceive people with disability as people without God.
Living with sickle cell disorder has taught me that the presence of a problem is never the absence of God.
May God strengthen this mother and other caregivers caring for people with disabilities.
If you lose friends as a result of disabled child, they were NEVER your friends!!
This is a true life story of my sister, she was 2 years walking and talking when she had a convulsion...rushed to OAU teaching hospital and the outcome was disability, she is now 24 years and I must it's not easy. Ma, you are a strong woman. Kudos
Adeola, my girl, you've done it again with class and compassion. I would give this lady my time for free - do her laundry, help with the cooking, shopping, house-cleaning, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on.... Experience is the best teacher and she has walked the walk.
You actually got it. Most people do not know how to support parents carers. Just one day assistance could go along way. God bless you.
Well done Sis. You are an angel
I admire the courage and strength of this woman. Keep being strong ma.
I'm 100% permanently disabled. Dealing with the stereotypes and prejudices is much more difficult than managing the illness.
So, so sad. May God forgive those negligence people. Pray that this evil act stop in our country.
As a doctor myself it's sad seeing a family pass through this. There's a systemic problem in our health care in Nigeria. We have a standard way of managing seizures for children. Use of ventilators in a post seizure phase is very unusual. However it's sad that the hospital that treated your daughter refused to acknowledge their inadequacies and learn from it. The UK medical system also make mistakes but they learn from it and improve.
I just came back to practice in this country. They always look backwards. They always compare themselves with something worse. The senior doctors and nurses are wicked and toxic. It's hopeless because they will actively prevent you from fixing the systemic issues. They think they know better so someone lower down cannot advice them.
How many PSYCHIATRIST IN AFRICA?
Typical Nigerian. Don't want to accept corrections especially for someone they consider 'lower'
@@nusaibahibraheem8183Do run your hospital? I need medical attention. I would love to see you.
Nigeria😭.What of if a family couldnt afford travelling out?May God help us
In the UAE, they are called people of determination and they get the best of care and attention. The government does not joke with them and with their wealth and commitment, they are handling it well. I hope one day ,we get to that level
Thank you for sharing
May God continue to help her in all ramifications
Have had my own share of this similar story but Almighty God showed up for me... My baby girl was not given vitamin K inject at birth and she started bleeding at 3 weeks and later convulsing and went to comma for 6days. She also bleeds to the subdural part of her brain. We are just lucky that its didn't get to the inner part of her brain.. we did series of CT scan and MRI till they are sure the blood has dried up... Initially we were scared she might not meet up with her milestones because of the seizure she had at 3 weeks... But All glory to Almighty God she has meet all her milestones, Sit,Crawled, walking now and speaking bit by bit at 15 months now... The experience is so pathetic , is it the financial aspects, the stress of travelling inter state for medical follow up, but in all Alhamdulillah mama escape all what we were scared off.
Thank you so much, Adeola. This your session is particularly emotional for me. As a person living with disability, I can really relate with everything Abigail's Mum said.
However, I believe many of our people need to be more emotionally intelligent. Most of us are not just there yet. I have come to understand that many insensitive comments come from a place of "concern". I only wish more emotional intelligence could be displayed, even by men of God.
What I did was to work on myself, my mind. Nobody can intimidate me even in the religious circle or make me believe that I don't have faith. I'm a Christian...I love God... I'm hardworking...I do my job...and I live with disability
MEN OF GOD are PRIMITIVE BACKWARD NUT CASES.
Wow thanks for sharing. More has to be done with people's minds. I have albinism and in Nigeria felt uncomfortable but in the UK freedom. Nigerians are very judgemental.
@@zeea6507 PRIMITIVE AFRICA.
God bless you❤
@@thebestindewest And you too. ❤️
Your daughter is a miracle child, she will be ok ,continue to say positive things words to her
Thank you Adeola for enlightenining the whole world Abigail mom i cannot thank you enough for both of you will continuously be a voice that can NEVER be muted... People with disabilities are like me and you only having challenges which they NEVER bargained for.
They can NEVER be TRASHED Y'ALL!!!!! I have a sister that is disabled they gave her immunizations and she developed poliomyelitis and she became disabled. My mom will hide her then and will not allow anyone to see her those are the olden days mentality, until i grew up and anywhere am going she will go with me. She is a nurse by the grace of God and you cannot intimidate her i will fight you and all of us will teach you a lesson. It doesn't have to be like that we need more awareness in NIGERIA...
Mom may your projects go far and bring SMILES to faces of the disabled ones and families and may no child go through this anymore!!!! Keep been who you are am proud of you❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this @Adeola
Thank you for this eye-opening episode, Adeola. As a medic, I'm now better informed about caring for children with disability.
Thank you my dear, for all you do. God bless you.
Hmmmmm, thank God for strength and
grace giving to every mother with disabilities
Well done Adeola, thank you for sharing these information with the world
My sister, may the Lord continue to encourage you. I cherished your faith, courage, and positive steps you're taking to impact others going forward. Nigerian generally lacks the empathy to people that needs help the most among us. I live right here in the U.S and I will like to help in this project. Sister Adeola, how can I get in touch with this woman. Second time watching your video btw, and I must say, I'm highly impressed.
May God strengthen you ma, while we keep praying for a miracle
I admire your courage so much. For speaking out and encouraging others. I know you have developed over time. Keep been strong dear ❤
Omg
What aWoman of God....what a Beautiful Child of God🙏
Thank you so much for educating us.
Am teary and encouraged to keep moving, giving up I not an option. Thanks Adeola and our mummy for your time❤
Thank you Adeola for bringing this up on your show. I want to also appreciate the courage of this lady, her faith, her tenacity to support her child and her boldness to come out to express herself for the sake of other children and families. God bless you.
Kudos to this woman. I admire her strength.
May God bless your family and your project.
Such an incredible piece. Thanks you for sharing your story.
You have really spoken well my dear sister. The Lord is your strength. May God continue to strengthen you.
This is so emotional,sending love to everyone who is facing one challenge or the other 🙏🙏
Oh myyyyyyyyyy we really need more enlightenment on this so we can do better at least with relating to parents. God bless you mama
The Lord is your strength, my sister. May He continue to uphold, help and protect you now and always. Tnk you so much for airing this story, Adeola. It is so emotional and inspiring. I pray God bless you and yours, Amen. Thank you again.
This is a ministry that was birthed from the place of pain. Kai! The Lord is your strength. I love the zeal
Who but God takes our pain and turns it into purpose 🙏 #Isa61v1-3
God bless you Ma. I pray the Lord will continue to grant you daily grace. After my dear Sister passed on last year I learnt some hard truth like telling someone going through challenges “It is well” is so insensitive and being religious.
Well done to you and you family. Thank you for speaking to us all. Rgds and warm hug to Abigeal ma'am. I've subscribed immediately to your CZcams channel
Thank you Adeola ma'am
Thank you Adeola for this awesome video.
I agreed with Abigail's mum, awareness and change of attitude are significant in our society (Nigeria) and all over the world in relation to disability.
Thanks for the link as well.
Thanks mum too..very passionate speaker.
All the very best to our parents carers and their families members. Remain strong ijmn.
Thank you, Adeola for sharing this video❤️. I suppose if we can show empathy to families having any member of their family living with a disability rather than sympathy, This will go a long way for them.🤗❤️ Also to avoid stigmatization of them and their family
Thank you for sharing your story.. I have learnt some much from this video. Thank you again.
Thank you, my sister Adeola. I need to contact this brave mother. Tutoring staff & working with people of all ages with dissabilty is my passion in Canada. Liason with families as well. Glad Nigeria will have a well established facilty that are assessible, including the course. Her & family abundant grace 😊
May the lord give u the strength to take care of ur baby girl
May God continue to strengthen you ma 🙏
This is a whole lot of an🎉 enlightenment Adeola. You have done well in this. Thanks.
That's a super, beautiful child there. She is so adorable. Keep faith sis God is with you in this journey. You are indeed an amazing mother and remember that your love and sacrifice can never be wtong❤❤❤❤❤
This was amazing
I can relate with you. Keep on keeping on.
Adeola, GOD will continue to work through you and with you... This is heart breaking in all sense of it 😢 Madame, l pray that the Almighty GOD will be your comfort ❤
Wow...may God bless you ma. I learnt alot from this interview as well. We really need to do better! Love to your beautiful baby girl❤❤❤
I love her determination, courage and strength to take care of her child . The child needs multidisciplinary care . May the lord perfect her healing in Jesus name . She has really gone through a lot , but she is so bold , brave and courageous. More grace ma.
Aunty Deola,
Mistakes happen even in the US. Remember what you shared with us about the treatment you got when you had a baby recently? Yes, mistakes happen.
Sure perfection is with Christ in heaven.
Divine strength for this super mum!
She is a star!
❤
I agree mistakes can happen but in Nigeria what lessons are learnt ??? Nothing
@@emmanueladeyosoye3607 that's because there are weak regulations, policies and enforcement. Some much inter professional rivalry as well
May we not be victims of evil. What mistakes do other countries learn too?
Thank you my ladies for this eye opening interview,I myself have a special needs child I truly appreciate this video.I also live in uk.
May God grant you the grace to continue to care for your daughter ❤
Well done ma'am ❤
Kodus to you Mrs Abiloye
You're truly strong ma'am 💪
Adeola, thank you for sharing this. I can very well relate. I will tell my own story too, one day, soon. Hmmnn.. Nigeria has happened to some of us in the area of medical error.
More grace to you mama, God will bless that baby and make her great regardless.
You are a very strong caring mother
Sorry for going through sad moment
Keep going!!
This is emotional. I emphatize with you. I have a family friend who gave birth in US n the baby was misdiagnosed.
This are the very few reported, if everyone start to share there experiences, you will realize Nigerian Hospitals kills more people than it saves , very sad! Imagine millions of people that cannot afford to travel to UK, like this woman, what will be their fate, what a country!!!
Honestly this message must be shared with all Nigerian religious groups. The way people get judged in our supposedly religious places of worship is alarming. Thank you so much for starting this difficult conversation.
Stop BOTHERING GOD.
With all the oil and natural blessings that God has giving us in Nigeria, yet the Govt cannot give us a standard working Hospital....
I say shame, and disgrace to the Nigerian Government. My second opinion is why has the parents brought this child back to Nigeria, where there are no schools, amenities, and programs, for kids like these, in this country, we call Nigeria. I CRY FOR ABIGAIL.
I don't know if you listened well. They are NOT in Nigeria. They have MOVED to the UK.
I cry for your madness. I use Nigerian public hospitals and I have no regrets. Get a life, bozo.
I pray I get help to raise my tuition fees so that I can leave Nigeria and live a normal life. Being here with blindness is a bitter experience, where all you get is prayers
Sometimes, i hate my existence. Imagine finding it so hard to get job or even feed because i am disabled
I’m happy you did not give up on your child .
Ventilator? Where do you have ventilator in Nigeria as a whole? It is a systemic thing
There are ventilators in Nigeria , it may not be much . The system is not as bad as you think.
Good bless you ❤.
Thank you very much my dear sister. A lot of my African people don’t understand disabled people. I wish they would start to understand be more educated about disabled people.
36yrs of caring as a mother& father of my son, I can relate very well.
People will always talk😂 and they judge . .I'd learnt. .we'v got God above all.God cares than anyone ,and God always send His Angel in human form.
Hugs Ma'am .we appreciate you ma'am
Big Sis Adeola thank you
It's such a painful story and so so painful for this little angel. Lord have mercy on her
Wow, I learn a lot, besides I help children with disabilities to learn how to communicate, is not easy to get some parent to accept their child, but beside are also a courageous parent like this woman, i stay at Badagry and dont mild leaning how to create awareness in my community.
@ Adeola, thank you for bringing this family experience to your audience. I am really sorry for this woman's pain. We have all failed Nigeria. There is no way a failed system anywhere in the world will do great things. It is a systemic problem. Nigerian doctors are not to blame. We need to fix Nigeria to experience excellent medical care. Take a journey to any Nigerian medical school or teaching hospital, and you will be astonished that we run a failed system. As a people, we have a lot of things to do. Our leaders are visionless. May God remain with the family.
Yet, the graduates of those "failed" healthcare schools are the most sought after healthcare workers on Earth. If our system was so bad, why have the US, UK, Germany, Saudi and co refused to stop stealing our doctors and nurses?
I could feel the pain the family has gone through same happened to my sister’s child where he was born in Lagos hospital this time is case was jaundice he is going to turn 4 by November but hasn’t been able to hold is neck or do anything as a child. I wish they parents has the financial support to fly him abroad. God save us from this kind of life time suffering. My best wishes to your daughter she is loved🙏🙏🙏💪💪💕💕💕
Waoh muslim or Christian help them all great talk ma. God bless you you are a Blessing to this Generation ❤
God bless u mother 😢
From this story, there had already been delayed developmental milestones. Which means pregnancy, delivery and post-delivery history history should be taken.
With everything she said, this could be a syndrome of diseases because scoliosis us not caused by convulsion
I thought same thing too.Her explanation doesn’t seem right.I will send this to a professional.
@@rahmatmuhammad8736 Do you know her story more than she does ?🤦🏽♀️
Thank you.
CP is mostly a complication from birth Asphyxia resulting from circumstances during the birth process. Would have loved to know the obstetric history..
Soo sad .
May God continue to see them through.
@@idehenreosas3969you are very correct! I daughter has mild CP. pregnancy was good. Birth process was difficult and my daughter ended up coming out not breathing.. no cry. She was immediately intubated and the journey began.. milestones were extremely delayed. Today to God be the Glory.. except for her gait instability sometimes and tremors .. she is doing amazingly well! I totally know how this mom feels .. I am glad she found strength in all of this!
@@idehenreosas3969💯
I'm so sorry. This is so emotional. The Nigerian system has failed a lot of it's citizens. Many lives have been lost. Many have been given what is too much for them to chew. My family got her own share of this same issue (medical negligence) that left a permanent scar.
Madam Olufunke Adeloye, I salute your courage in all these and sincerely appreciate your effort to give back to a society that failed you in order to put smile on the faces of other parents facing similar challenges.
God bless you, your family and prosper all that you do in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
Medical negligence is very rampant in Nigeria, zero accountability. Who do you sue or even hold accountability.?
I can relate to this woman, this happened to my daughter at General hospital Ikeja at the end it affected her brain luckily for me I didn't keep quiet I turned the hospital upside down.
Mama Abigail just take it's yr fath and God will be there for both you and your family,
May Nigeria never happen to us oh😢😢😢
It happens to over 200 million people daily
So sorry that you and your family went through this harrowing experience. This reminds me of Isaiah 33:24 soon no resident will say I am sick.
When it comes to understanding people with special need and meeting their daily needs, we Africans still have a long way to go. Some people will even say unkind words or show negative behaviour towards the disable individual or their parents 😭😭 education institutions, religious and cultural gatherings should use their platforms to educate the masses about persons with special need.
Mardam i feel your pain❤
Thanks for sharing this touching story with us. Medical negligence is so common in Nigeria and it is sad. Nigerians can be judgemental. Even religious folks can be no different if no miracle then the person didn't have faith 😂.
We have the same experience here in a teaching hospital but the difference is that they admitted their mistake and they paid her compensation and some money yearly for life.
Which country is that
Lord Jesus, I believe in miracles. Mummy, you're so strong. Let God see you through 🙏
🫡 I salute you woman of strength.
This is really sad. My son has convulsed twice between the ages of 1 and 4. I’m forever grateful it didn’t turn out worse. I can’t imagine what this family went through. It’s a scary experience and may God keep strengthening them.
The medical system in Africa as a whole is horrible for lack of a harsher term. I lost my mom last year to the poor medical system in Cameroon. I disowned that country since then and will not recognise myself ever again as a citizen of that god forsaken country. May God help us.
Put your countries there on worst medical system some countries in the continent are better trying even though they are not hundred percent wright
Adeola, kindly find out if they go for a retreat bcos she can get such support here in the UK please.
I'm so angry right now....How can they place oxygen mask on someone in coma. She is so strong for sharing this. So sorry to hear this
Overall, living with disability child can be draining. It's easily said than done. I pray God send help to those with the case
My sister in law is also disabled due to tx received when she was born in Nigeria. She experienced jaundice that was not recognized until it affected her brain. She developed seizures and cerebral palsy. She was also born with hip dysplasia. Thankfully we have brought her to US where her hip was treated. She is wheelchair bound because of the lateness of her hip treatment. She now lives in a supportive home environment fully paid for by the government. She attends day programs and gets all the medical dental and physical care needed.
That's the difference, the system, ha! How can an innocent complete child be rendered this way? All because of ba system
❤Am WITH a scar on the left side of my head but it NEVER deformed me and i did well in SCHOOL
You can ask THOSE who took care of me as a boy like aunty olunloyo whom you all know
From your setback the Lord will set you up again ma . It is a cross and the lord will strengthen you 🙏.
In our country nothing is working up till today. No country in this world pray pass Nigeria. God gave us everything except good leadership.
What concerns me is what if you don't have the funds to care for all this.. meaning your kid is gone
What a Country😢
I didn't hear her mention te name of the hospital, and that is very crucial. She need to mention it so that potential victims can be protected.
My daughter went through the same thing in Tallahassee, Florida USA. Very unfortunate! The Lord is your strength and He will see you through. I left my job to care for my daughter as well. My name is Theresa Odutola.. God loves you, and I know He will guide you.
My dear I’m sorry for hearing this. Sending you lots of hugs and kisses. ❤
