Nigerian Woman Barred From Giving Birth In Chicago Incurs £500K After Delivering Quadruplets In UK
February 1st, 2017 – Pictures: Nigerian Woman Barred From Delivering Babies In Chicago Incurs £500,000 After Delivering Quadruplets In UK
Meet 43-year-old Priscilla, a Nigerian nurse who was prevented from entering Chicago by border officials last year November.
With a valid visa, the officials questioned her for not having documents to prove that she can pay for the birth of her 4 babies before sending her back.
While returning to Nigeria through Heathrow Airport in November 2016, Priscilla who was just 24 weeks long at that time went into labour.
She was rushed to one of the largest hospitals in the UK, the Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in west London, part of Imperial College Hospital, where she was delivered the four babies.
One of her babies died shortly after birth while another died few days later.
She has incurred over £500,000 as the cost of treating one baby in neonatal intensive care in the hospital is £20,000 a week.
Priscilla who is currently staying in a hostel run by a charity organization said her hubby can’t come to Britain to help her because he doesn’t have money to secure a visa.

If it was last week that Ms. PRICILLA was banned from entering Chicago, the hypocrites around the world would have labeled president Trump a racist, anti-Muslim, anti-black, heartless, and all kinds of wicked names. But she was banned during the administration of President Obama not based on terrorism treat but based on her financial situation. The fact I’m trying to state here is the media bias, their personal hatred for president Trump, and as a result, millions of people now have terrible or bad judgment based on media lies, falsehood, and other false propaganda going around the social media, newspapers, and news media 24/7 against President Trump. May God grand us His ultimate and unbiased wisdom and understanding to see the truth in all situations, and not to judge good or bad people inaccurately and incorrectly based on the opinions of those who have strong hatred of that particular person, people, religion, and region. Remember that to millions of Black Americans, we Africans still are living on the trees. What a brainwashed!

All the same, America is all about money. The stress they put her through, not allowing her to enter the U.S. after landing at the airport, lengthy questioning, forced her to go into early labor, being an older woman (she looks like she’s in her 50s). Nigerians have abused every opportunity and privilege, hence, the harsh treatment we are receiving in almost every part of the Western world. They come in, have babies and run away, without paying their hospital bills. I wish I had money to help her out. May God show her divine favor and touch someone’s heart to pay off her debts. All the money she owes the hospital is nothing to some rich people. Her labor over the remaining children shall not be in vain. She will not bury them and they shall grow to become successful citizens and take good care of her in her old age, amen. It is well.

Thanks for saying the truth Omokehinde. I agree with most of the actions Trump has taken so far. People should sit down, put themselves in a neutral position, look at issues before they can make a sound judgment. As for this Nigerian woman who said her husband does not have the money to procure a visa to come see her in London hospital, how does she hope to pay the hospital already incurred in UK? How does she hope to pay the bill if immigration had allowed her in Chicago to have the baby? Is she one of those who come here to have children then run back to Nigeria hoping that charity will pay the bill for them? The blame should go to our legislature for neglecting our hospitals. It is no sin to come to America or UK for child delivery if you can pay for it, but coming here to deliver your baby and run away hoping for it to be paid by our tax dollars is a sin. Before you decided to leave Nigeria to have your baby in UK or USA, you must have weighed your wallet. Unless she have relatives in the United States who ‘am sure could not have afforded to pay the huge bill given what she incurred in the UK. President Trump is dealing with Mexicans now, he might come after the freeloaders from other nations.

Running from one country to another just because of papers but in actual fact I wont blame her.Nigeria is so messed up that people will do anything to secure the future of their children .I pray someone should offload her bill for her in Jesus name because the cost accrued is so much for anyone to bear.

Chai! I feel U my Sister. In America U can pay on installments from Ur country or else U or ur child won’t enter America again which is fair, if not most people can’t afford to come here to give birth. They should just allow her pay on installments.

How did she pays for her IVF. Why didn’t she make financially arrangements to pay for the birth of those kids. Now England is lumbered with the cost. USA was right to refuse entry on the grounds they did. it is high time all counties start barring entry into their countries on this grounds.

Thank you, Uzoma. There are many hardworking, tax-paying Americans and immigrants who are struggling to maintain medical insurance, while a lot of these foreigners just want to come here and abuse the system. The USA is not obligated to incur this debt.

If she had had enough money, they would have let her entered through Chicago. Now in the United States if you deliever a baby without paying for the hospital bill, they will tag all those expenses on the new born that means they will put that incured debt under the new born social security. When the kid grows up then he/she will realize that he/she already owed some money he/she knew nothing about.
