‘She’s dying’ – Zicsaloma accuses LUTH of medical negligence towards his cancer-stricken mother

Nigerian comedian and content creator, Zicsaloma, has publicly condemned the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) over gross mistreatment and neglect of his mother, who is currently battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.

In a distressed Instagram video, the skit maker, real name Aloma Isaac Junior, detailed a harrowing ordeal, claiming that hospital personnel at LUTH refused to admit his critically ill mother despite the urgency of her condition.

According to him, she had recently developed severe post-chemotherapy complications that prompted a desperate dash to the hospital. But rather than receiving emergency care, she was allegedly denied access at the gate and left unattended.

“She’s a skeleton of herself,” he said emotionally. He revealed that when they arrived at LUTH, she was not only turned away but also made to wait for hours outside the gate. “Do you know when we took my mum to LUTH, the hospital refused to let her in?” he said. “They now pointed us to a test centre beside LUTH, where we should go and do it. We now took the result back to the hospital. They refused to let my mum in.”

According to him, the hospital claimed only a doctor could authorise entry. But when one was finally called to assess the situation, he “literally walked out,” refusing to assist. “She cannot even stand. I literally backed my mum.”

Zicsaloma slammed what he described as a lack of compassion in Nigeria’s medical system. “Our medical team, the doctors of Nigeria, are terrible.” He added, “If you see my mum, she is a skeleton of herself.”

Frustrated and heartbroken, the skit maker painted a grim picture of the situation. “If somebody is ill in this country, the person can just die. You are seeing a lifeless woman. That cannot stand.”

He concluded his emotional outcry with a strong criticism of the healthcare system, saying, “These hospitals, they need to be checked.”

6 weddings aren't enough, I wanted to marry Priscilla everywhere – Juma Jux

Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has opened up about his whirlwind series of wedding celebrations with Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo, revealing his desire to marry her in every meaningful location tied to their relationship.

Speaking about their upcoming final wedding reception, Jux said he and Priscilla will conclude their extended celebrations on May 28 in Tanzania. “This is the final round, the big one,” he announced. “I call it the final one because my wife is tired already.”

Juma revealed that the extensive and extravagant wedding ceremonies held thus far had caused a strain on Priscilla, particularly due to the elaborate outfits and preparations expected of brides. 

He clarified that he wanted more weddings as the six weddings done weren’t enough to prove his undying love for her.

She always tells me, ‘it’s easy for you because you’re wearing a suit; you don’t have to go through a lot with dressing.’ I understand her; she’s gone through a lot. 5-6 weddings is not even enough for me; I wanted more. I wanted to go to the place where we first met but she has no energy; she has tried. 

The award-winning singer let his fans know that the wedding finale was going to be the biggest one of them all.

Tanzania is the final one, the last one and because it’s the final one, I’d put everything on that. It’s going to be crazy; my friends from different countries are coming from Uganda Kenya, china, USA, and even Tanzania
