A young Nigerian woman, Zainab Adefowora, has tragically passed away due to complications from an ear condition, weeks after the same ailment left her wheelchair-bound despite undergoing surgery that cost over ₦2 million.
Zainab had been vocal about her health struggles on X (formerly Twitter), frequently sharing updates on her deteriorating condition. In one of her posts, she lamented:
“Ear problems can be so disturbing and life-threatening for real.”
As her condition worsened, she sought medical treatment but faced severe financial strain. In a desperate plea for help, she wrote:
“Please, guys, I need every single donation. The pus in my ear needs to be removed immediately. My facial deviation is returning, and I’m experiencing dizziness and severe headaches.”
She later revealed that doctors had exhausted all non-surgical options and that surgery was inevitable, with costs amounting to ₦600,000 for the procedure and blood transfusion.
Following the surgery, Zainab suffered further complications, leading to mobility issues. She expressed her distress in a heartbreaking post:
“If there was a way I could take my life, I would have done it on December 9. I’m tired. I want to give up. But there’s still hope after the surgery. I can’t even walk properly anymore 😭😭.”
Sadly, just weeks later, news of her passing surfaced online. A close acquaintance mourned her loss, writing:
“From an ear problem to being in a wheelchair. Now she’s gone. This one pain me.”
