It was around 1:30 am when we heard the sudden cry for help in our neighborhood, we had to listen very well to be sure it's not an arm robbery attack, but then, our phone started ringing and alas! it was our next door neighbor's wife calling us to help save her husband from dying.
We all ran to the scene and behold, the man was in a pool of blood already unconscious, we flied to the hospital that night despite the bad roads, our adrenallin was at its peak.
On getting to the hospital, we were promptly attended to and within a twinkle of an eye the man regained consciousness and we all had a sign of relief. Praise god said all of us as everybody that accompanied us to the hospital started returning home in that midnight. saying ' thank god'
During day break, we returned to the hospital to check the man again and we were told, he will need two pints of blood due to the great amount of blood loss, so, we went back to mobilize people for blood donation and fortunately we got quite a number of donor. To cut the whole story short, the man received about six pints of blood in all, all specialist medical attention given, there was nothing lacked in all, everyone stood by him but alas' on the third day, the man gave up the ghost despite all the prompt attention.
He actually bled to death because the rectal bleeding refused to stop despite all intervention.
On investigation, we learnt he bought agbo from their agbo seller after which he started having diarrhea, he had this for a whole day and was sweating profusely before he started passing blood.
We learnt those selling the agbo no longer use natural herbs and leaves to prepare it, but they now add tramadol, frusemide, ibrufen, valium, aspirin and some other drugs that are even used with caution in the hospital are added to the agbo. Which kind of a country is this ðŸ˜.
So, when the victims takes this, they sweat out, they visit the toilet several times and they feel refreshed and light, and they say to themselves, this agbo is good ' not knowing that they have started digging their grave. we learnt this agbo intake is the number one cause of acute kidney disease and rectal bleeding in the hospital and only very few number escape death and our gorverment is not doing anything about it. you see them hawking it on the street with different colors from deep yellow, to deep brown, black, red and even purple. Yet our people patronize them like ants.
Please, Pastors, Imams, Schools, Community Leaders Etc, Educate your members to stop selling it, educate them to stop patronizing them, tell them to stop promoting premature death. They are killers, and they know it because they don't drink it themselves. If our gorverment is not ready to curb them, let's help ourselves.
