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
