I heard of the painful death of our colleague, Mrs. Chiamaka Okpalaeke – Obidi, a female activist of NBA, Awka Branch who joined the saints after child birth at Lumia hospital, Awka, Anambra State. Her death is so painful because it would have been avoidable if our government had equipped our hospitals.

Let me use thus opportunity to call on the government of the Federation to improve our hospitals and our medical facilities as our citizens are in dire need of improved medical facilities for their health.
No country in the world prospers if she undermines or treat her health department with levity. We must as a nation revisit our health department and see where we got it wrong. No Nigerian should die because of our poor health facilities.
Our deceased colleague was a committed member of the NBA, Awka branch until her demise. We are going to miss her greatly. I urge the family and NBA Awka branch to accept it as the will of God and turn the ugly incident to God who alone can grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Chiamaka Okpalaeke – Obidi Esq rest in peace. Your life was eventful.
