US based philanthropist decries poor state of health institutions in Nigeria, petitions IGP on imminent attack on Do Good farm in Abiriba

A US based Nigerian woman, Onyinye Ibe (Formerly Onyinye Urum) has decried the poor and dilapidated state of health institutions in Nigeria which she says has led to constant loss of lives and avoidable deaths of the poor masses who most times need urgent medical attention without access to any.

Mrs. Onyinye also in a petitioned through her council, Henry Ojiegbe requested the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun to provide protection for her farm Do Good Piggery, located in Abiriba, Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State as she alleged that some locals were planning to carry out an attack on the farm stressing that if the attack is not prevented, it could result to loss of lives.

Speaking with newsmen, Onyinye, a known philanthropist who has been in the United States of America for over thirty years said she established the farm in 2023, with the view to help her siblings and kinsmen through job and wealth creation.

According to her, trouble started when one of the employees of the farm, Joseph Urum started complaining of stomach upset and was not eating solid food, stressing that she was never informed at the early stage of the sickness, but when it later came to her knowledge, she immediately directed that he should be taken to the hospital for proper medical diagnosis as according to her, time was of the essence.

Mrs. Onyinye listed efforts by her all the way from the US to ensure that the sick Joseph got adequate medical care to no avail stressing that the health system frustrated all her efforts as calls put across by her to some doctors were unanswered. She maintained that referring the sick Joseph from one hospital to the other defeated all the race against time by her and others around.

Onyinye said Joseph was later taken to the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Umuahia where he was also rejected but was referred to another private hospital in Mbaise, Imo State, where they arrived at about 3am which was where he later died.

The US based philanthropist reacted to the accusation by the villagers posted on their village Whatsapp group that she came down to Umuahia to murder Joseph to harvest his kidney for organ transplant for her son, as she expressed dismay at what she described as a ridiculous dimension, stressing that she has never been in Nigeria for the past 30 years.

When the issue was discussed on Family Love FM’s Open Parliament, monitored by Dailytrailnews, a caller; Ambassador Sunday Onukwubiri called for caution in handling the issue to avoid discouraging good spirited Nigerians abroad from investing at home so as not to further exacerbate the already high rate unemployment rate in the country.
