Dada Eriye Is Dead: Generator Fire Accident Killed Bravo Magazine CEO In Lagos
Feb 18, 2015 – Dada Eriye Is Dead: Generator Explosion Accident Killed Bravo Magazine Publisher In Lagos After LUTH Doctors Rejected Him
A popular Lagos-based magazine publisher, Mr Dada Eriye has passed on.
On Valentine’s day, Saturday around 11:45pm, he was pouring fuel into his generator when it caught fire and exploded on him. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and was immediately rejected due to his grave injury.
He was referred to Igbobi specialist hospital but on getting there, he was rejected after the official said they just disinfected the whole hospital.
His family then returned to LUTH around 2:00 am on Sunday morning after hours of running helter skelter to get care for him. Again LUTH rejected him and after much begging they agreed to treat him after the payment of 250,000 Naira.
Another round of begging and crying started again. He was abandoned for hours at LUTH where he eventually gave up the ghost.
May his soul rest in peace (amen).

Lack of Education, foolishness, inept and lack of co-ordination of people in leadership position contributed significantly to the premature death in Nigeria. We are totally in the dark Continent. Nigeria remain the only Country that uses generator as source of energy. Some advance Countries are trying to cut down their Co2 emission by reducing the numbers of Automobile in the street as well cutting down Co2 emission in the industries. Generator is a bad source of carbon monoxide because of the fumes emanating from it. We shouldn’t be using it at all not to talk of possessing it individually. Carbon monoxide from Automobile and Generator is the fastest and silent killer and most of impoverished Nigerians do not know this. If you live in crowded city such as Lagos or Ibadan you are at highest risk. We Nigerians are the ones killing ourselves because of selfish interest and monetary gain. A responsible government should be able to provide viable energy which will make it possible to cut down carbon emission thereby saving the lives of millions from untimely death. Millions of Nigerians are dying of carbon monoxide everyday but they don’t know some even attribute this to other illness. When we travel abroad we love good things we see over there but why cant we emulate or borrow good idea from them?. The only thing we know in Nigeria is money. Our thinking is how we can make money, money, money nothing else. We don’t even know the amount of money we are looking for yet our life expectancy is dwindling down. Our leaders are just acting irresponsible that they only work for their pocket and their family. Not until when a responsible government can provide adequate power supply, this problem of premature death through generator will continue to pile up. There was a time when I was trying to buy a Generator for my family in Nigeria at one of the stores selling building and Electrical appliances(Home Depot)the lady who happened to be the Manager of that store asked me why do you need this big generator? she said do you have a company which you want to use this? I sais no that I want to ship it to Africa then she kept quiet. She later told me that if you want to use this Generator, you have to operate it in accordance with (EPA) Environmental Protective Agency guideline. This is to show you that one has to have a genuine cause to use generator. Fellow Nigerians, this is one negative side of Modern Technology but instead of educating people and providing masses with sustainable technology, those in the leadership position in Nigeria are behaving like a bastard and waste our money on unnecessary campaign and worthless program.

Nigeria Government owned hospitals are death trap,business center,with poor medical care,wicked and heartless medical staff.
The medical staffs on duty that rejected this innocent man should be questioned for his untimely dead.
RIP ERIYE
