Aftermath Of Taking Fake Anti-malaria Drug, Innocent Little Boy Battles For Life

admin

Nigerian man, Promise Amahah took to his Facebook page to narrate the pathetic story of a little boy who is battling for his life because fake anti-malaria drugs were administered to him.

Sharing photos of the innocent boy, Amahah who claims that the father of the little boy is one of his most dependable workers opines that the problem of Nigeria as a country is greed: “My point is that the challenge in this country is beyond governance. Greed is at the root of it all! And it beats me hollow how our values have been deeply degraded. All we care about is making money at all cost and expense.”

Read his post below:

“This how sad and mad I am this morning! I have to post this now! The innocent boy going through this affliction happens to be the son of one of the most dependable guys working with me. He’s a very smart boy and I’m fond of him. Now he had malaria fever (only) and his parents went to a nearby pharmacy to buy anti malaria drugs which they gave him and unknown to them, it was a fake anti malaria drug. Instantly, the boy reacts after taking the drugs and the picture your seeing is the outcome. I couldn’t sleep last night! He’s been admitted at the federal medical hospital Abuja as we speak and struggling to survive. I’m supporting them in every way I can to make sure the boy survives. My point is that the challenge in this country is beyond governance. Greed is at the root of it all! And it beats me hollow how our values have been deeply degraded. All we care about is making money at all cost and expense. I’m on my way back to the hospital with so much fury typing this message. This time I’ll ensure the pharmacy shop is sealed and the operators brought to book. But then, that’s not the solution. It’s a temporary measure because the fake drugs cartel won’t lose sleep cos one vendor is shutdown. It’s either GREED gives way or Nigeria gives way! The choice is ours!! #fakedrugs #greed #nigeria #malaria #sad #africa #health #pharmacy #medicine #child #pain“

Amahah, who posted the news on his way to the hospital where the little boy was admitted, gave an update after he arrived at the hospital.

“Now this shit is real!!! There you go guys!!! The average family in Nigeria can’t afford basic healthcare so over 80% including me, sometimes resort to self medication. Self medication is no safe haven but what will poor families do in this instance? Fold their hands and watch their wards die? Really? Thankfully, Favour (kids name) is favored to be alive and is stable. I’ve just left the hospital and heading to the monstrous pharmacy shop. You can hear the first hand account of the kids mum. God help us but while we’re at it with that prayer, we need to act fast!!! #savenigerians #repost #malaria #fakedrugs #instablognaija #lindaikeji #nigeria #health #sdg #greed #help #child #children #africa #pain #emergency #sos #poverty #governance”

So pathetic!
