2016-07-28-20-48-18-1519100713

Recently, a young young Nigerian lady, Ahmed Mayowa was in the media, soliciting for help from Nigerians. This young lady was diagnosed with Type IV ovarian cancer, and she also has sickle cell anaemia.

A go-fund-me page was opened for her as she needed a sum of 32 million Naira for surgery abroad. In the statement released online, “My name is Mayowa Ahmed, Nigerian, a graduate of University of Lagos and an HB SS patient incidentally diagnosed with bilateral Ovarian Mass Carcinoma. I need assistance to raise 100,000 USDollars for treatment at Emory International Hospital Atlanta USA. Kindly help me live again. I don’t want to die #SaveMe please”.

Well-meaning Nigerians came to her rescue and donated the money required. A picture also surfaced online where the actress Toyin Aimhaku was spotted with Mayowa.

Reports show that she was at LUTH, Lagos to provide moral support to Mayowa. This encouraged Nigerians to even help the girl to realise the money needed for her surgery. I give her a kudos for this campaign to save a life and advise other celebrities to do their best to support those in needs.

The story took a slight twist when news hit the media that the campaign was allegedly a scam.

Unfortunately, before facts were made available, the news had spread like wildfire. It was was on the lips of many Nigerians that her family members were only using the situation to raise money and that they Had no intention to fly her abroad for surgery as the doctors had told them there was no hope for her to survive. The family released a statement to that effect;

“Mayowa is presently in LUTH receiving treatments that will prepare her for 7hr trip to Abu Dhabi. We have also engaged the services of the Flying Doctors to accompany her on the trip based on recommendation by the Doctors in LUTH (Form attached). Mayowa is receiving treatment in LUTH to allow her be able to travel as advised by the Doctors in LUTH and she has been transfused to help improve her PCV. The funds are solely for Mayowa’ s treatment and for no other reason. We await her Visa for travel documents to commence the journey as we are in touch with the doctors abroad and they are awaiting her arrival. We appreciate the contributions made by Nigerians on this journey. Mayowa will live to tell this story and you shall be one of the audiences by His grace. Please support us with prayers as you will surely be told the success story as we have not given up on Mayowa living her life and we will never give up until the work God has started is finished.”

However,amidst these controversies, its too quick to come to a conclusion as the family as put out a statement concerning details of her flight and the hospital.

Now, a few curious Nigerians have refused to accept the information Social media has thrown at them, but have decided to arrive at their own conclusion. INFORMATION NIGERIA hereby compile and ask the following questions:

1. What proof does Toyin Aimhaku has that Mayowa’s case was a scam?

2. What did she intend to achieve by storming the hospital ward policemen?

3. Did she put into consideration the effect of her actions to Mayowa? Did she intend to cause more havoc to the girl, clear her name out of the saga, or give herself more publicity?

4. If this whole thing turns out not to be a scam, would she in like manner turn herself into the police?

5. Why was she crying on Instagram?

6. Should the family of the girl not try their every means to find solution to the problem?
