e declined the medical procedure in line with his faith as a Jehovah’s Witness.
The doctors at all the three hospitals did not inform us of any danger of death to the baby due to the weight. They only said the baby might be negatively affected if the jaundice was not treated, and we vigorously pursued her treatment in two other hospitals other than the first. I have read of many dangers associated with blood transfusion. I have also read of medical cases where people who were treated by doctors without blood fared better than those who were treated with blood transfusion. Furthermore, Jehovah, the creator, expressly prohibits the ingestion of blood. He made this law both before and during the Christian era.
My wife and I are peace-loving people as can be attested to by others. Of course, we look forward to taking our daughter home and raising her. To someone else, she is only “the child”, but to us, she is our daughter, a gift from Jehovah.Our daughter deserves parental love and personalised care and bonding with us. So our overriding interest right now is that she should get well and come home with us.
We got an emergency call that a child was likely to die if nothing was done quickly to save that child. We became very concerned. First, we tried to investigate the incident. We went to the hospital as the informant gave us the hospital’s name. We went to the hospital to get the facts. When we got there, we also noticed that the hospital itself could not give us any useful information other than to confirm that Mrs Onikpise and her baby were delivered in the hospital.
Some people have also argued that parents have rights over their children and that you abused those rights. How would you react to that? It is argued that if anything happens to the baby in your care, the parents will have a basis to sue the OPD and the Lagos State Government, what do you think about that?
Has your office handled a similar case like this before such as transfusion, particularly with reference to children of parents of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
Well done brother.u hv done well.all those against u do not hv hope after death, so they can do anything in contrary to God's law in order for them to enjoy their 70 or 80yrs in this dieing world. He who loses his life for the sake of God Will get it back in 100 fold.
Try an convince us
Is she OK now?
I know you love your daughter, brother, so please don’t martyr her.
Many have been held in captivity and brainwashed by some people who in their personal view created religious CONFUSION. We mightn't be different from Bokoharams who destroy lives in the name of Allah.
Mumu man!!
Do JW members take alcohol?
It's tough being a slave of religion . Another case of indoctrination.
I remember my classmate at primary school who died of leg injury because his father was a faith tabanacle pastor and refused to take her to hospital for proper medication. I see also these as foolishness and deceit from devil
I was angry at the headline, then I decided to inform myself and READ the article. Do the same before ranting ‘religiously washed wicked dad’😫
what is botanical name for blood transfusion?
The govt shouldn't give parents this kind of rights
Nonsense religious beliefs.... Many doctrines needs updating...
Love in ignorance ...lolz
He loves religion more than his daughter...
As an adult you have right to reject blood transfusion if you want to as long as you sign consent form in the hospital. But no parent should exercise right to withhold blood transfusion or life saving medication from their children. It should be made a criminal office.

Ignorance 🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️
Hosea4:6
In the absence of expanded plasma, a good substitute for human blood, the blood transfusion should have been allowed. But religion is not Godliness. It is a system of belief to worship God and sometimes it is not the right way. A Godly person will not look on till somebody dies.
Complicated people.
Religion will kill all of us one day. Your leaders on America,don't they tale transfusion if the need arises? Like our brothers on the other side who forbid alcohol but have high sales record in their states
You really do
Love ke! It is well oh
Did he just say he love his daughter! Maybe he wants to say hate
He doesn't oooo
Hahahaha look at his eyes Anuofia
Look, I won't judge him. We all have our beliefs. Though am happy for government intervention over the baby, He still remains entitled to his right to freedom of association.
That baby probably developed Kernicterus already. This is pathetic
Jw members n Boko Haram na 5 n 6
Senseless belief
What love is there in watching her die when you could have possibly save her, ignorant religious fanatics
Religion will kill many people ooo
Animal.
Foolish man
A lady gave birth to twins December 2019 and was having 35% blood remaining in her system. She refuse to take blood due to the lost of blood during childbirth. Doctors ask her to take blood she refuse and the family also supported her decision.she was lucky to make it
I discussed this on my timeline & one young and freshly brainwashed witness lady was dropping verses and countering everyone on the discussion..how can you allow your seed to die because your founder said blood transfusion is bad? Your own blood & DNA? This is appalling & wicked
Religion is dangerous. That's the only thing you have to understand. This man loves his child but his unfortunately a slave to religion.
Laws should be made against this type of useless religious doctrine .
The way people here are just insulting this man for his belief without examining their own believes is just sad, They have forgotten respect beliefs, don't shove your beliefs down our throat yen yen
Lol 😂 everyone throwing stones 😂😂😂 same people that will belittle homosexuals because of their religious beliefs 😂😂😂. Everybody Dey craze for this country
The most wicked Christian Jehovah's witnesses members
He still have d boldness to grant an interview
Pele.... You have been brainwashed by your religious beliefs that it's a sin
Me right now:
I hope Religion won't destroy this country oneday
Truly re u sure ur the father,cause ur words re foolish.
..but i thought I read somewhere that that policy of theirs had been altered?
Religion is wicked 😒🤦
Any religion is free to have thier doctrine. However, instead of giving health care practitioners headache on this, they should build thier own hospitals like other denominations have done and practice medicine without transfusion so we can see the outcome.
Useless father
Wow...that's why you didn't do everything possible to save her
Dotard
Religion is a fraud and scam
No you don't love your daughter, you love antiquated religion. Would saving your daughter be the only sin you will commit in this world? If at all that's sin.
Your judgement will be severe. God will just you not Man.
Sir, you'll just have to live with the guilt of allowing your daughter to die, when she could have been saved. Nothing justifies your callous behavior.
Religion and religious beliefs hmnnnnn
These people should set up their own specialist hospitals for these purposes.
Jehovah's witnesses should be banned in Nigeria the same as they are banned in Russia. No scripture condemns blood transfusion but shedding of blood and probably boiling it for consumption. Their shear ignorant of the scripture should not be taken lightly b/c of people's life.
Mad man
If you love your daughter why disallow the transfusion of blood?
Bro on tie, u don't love her if u don't let her take the blood she needs...come to life...
Is he talking from jail? This man should be in jail by now for attempted murder
Hmmmm
This is a societal issue allowing religion to ruin lives. The law should protect people from mad people. Children are not property but humans. We need law that allowed doctors make timely decisions and not some crazy adult. Now, the girl is gone. Sad
Fanaticism, aka yabaleft patient.
You love your daughter and you denied her blood transfusion abi? If you hate her, what will you now do deny her of oxygen? You should be flogged sshh.
No sir you don't love your daughter. Stop confusing yourself. How would she have survived when it was cleared she need transfusion? With all the agonies she passed through but yet you decide to turn the other way.
AgentShishkin come see this
See vampire rejecting blood
You see this thing called belief and religion. It has made some people loose thier humanity. Because if your humanity is intact you won't allow another person die for an issue you can solve. Hypocrisy. This one go get one secret sin wey nobody know about
story too long but then lets see what James 1:5 says before swallowing doctrines. Doctrines for man not man for doctrines.
What is love 💗?
Religion zombies
See fool ooo
Exchanging bloods and body parts....quite dirty.
I learnt their general overseer says they can accept blood transfusion.
You would gladly take away the right of a child to life, just because of your 'belief' and you still claim to love her. Love kee you there....
Same thing PMB says while fvxking up the country
Every other religion/denomination have this foolish dimension that they adopt in replacing sense with dust.
Some CHRISTIANS will get to HEAVEN and they will receive a KNOCK on the HEAD first. For their stupidity and INDOCTRINATION. Wisdom is profitable to direct. We have JEHOVAH WITNESSES who are doctors and NURSES. So, you cannot take blood transfusions but you can give.
Ignorance at its peak
Ignorance is a big disease
Religious psycho.
Belief that has not helped the life of anyone. Belief that leads to unnecessary and avoidable death. Belief that encourages you to be disloyal to your country by not reciting the national anthem. Rubbish belief
What kind of thing is that? And who even made this stupid law... How I wish say I be Jehova witness member, na only me for they donate blood give people lemme see what will happen.... Nonsense
WISDOM is profitable to the WISE.
And you are putting on tir!!! Did Jesus wear tie in the Bible?
What I don't understand is why would anyone join such a doctrine that is skewed in allowing only 144k people go to hang while the rest remain on earth 'enjoying'. Abi heaven no dey hungry everyone?
You don't love your daughter... You prefer her to die to keep your Jehovah witness.. You are an animal
Then, your love is wicked!
You are plain mad.
This man is simply suffering from lack of knowledge of the word of God, Galatians 5:4. He is still operating under the Law.
You are MAD IN COMPLEXION 😡
U get mouth to spew trash now abi You love her so she could die and leave this sinful world early, so you can reunite with her in paradise on earth abi Bible only frown at eating of blood and not blood transfusion. Should we talk about the fake prophecies your leaders make too
We should have laws that make it impossible for people to take these kinds of decisions on behalf of other people, especially children. Doctors should be empowered to do what's best to save the life of a child patient.
They are like BokoHaram
Religion madness in action, so you prefare your love daughter to die because of your doctrine believed.
Most toxic set of Christians...
Religion is the downfall of Africa mostly Nigerians.If I am God I will never give you a child again because you have no value for children.
08032321054.
The problem here is the doctrine, this man obviously loves his child but has been indoctrinated that he could not even save her life. I pray God opens his eyes.
Some people who hail Abraham as father of faith for almost killing his son for sacrifice are also criticizing this man 🤡
But you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins And he lost a lot of blood That which he did for you Now you have a solution to the problem, which miracle you dey find again. Oh them no believe Miracle ni?
God punish you.
Religion is a serious mental slavery to many people
This should not be a news item IMHO... It is a matter of faith, leave it
IUwenbor To slap this man Dey hungry men.
This man is just a victim of religion indoctrination. He needs our sympathy. May his innocent daughter soul RIP.
He should be on jail by now
Religion - Opium of the masses.
For God so love the world that He gave His ONLY son...........you love your religion and hate your daughter .
You're full of hate.. I think you're crazy...
The bible said you should not take blood. God said never you take a blood transfusion.
Foolish pious
He should be arrested and be dealt with
Which love is that..Jesus gave up his LOVE to us..So we can live..
God punish you... You love your daughter....
Love her enough to let her die. Fuck off
Foolishness at its peak. This is one of the damage religion has caused to black man. You will see well educated man behaving like a village moron just because of his faith.
They will soon turn to be Jeho Haram
Lol
Religion can never give you peace only ignorance, how can you watch your daughter die when there's option to save her. Mr man you don't love her and you are very wicked.
Very useless fellow
I think the man lacks wisdom, knowledge and Understanding...
Religion extracts man's brain and fetch it into a porcelain bowl. JW believe people who do blood transfusion are going to hell and only they are going to heaven
demo884real Etubom_Olushola omitade01 see another oponu. Can't we just ban religion in this country till we have sense. Oloshi baba
I weep when I see case of indoctrination takes over real faith in God. Jesus died and his blood was shed for us all meaning when are gasping for life and short of our human blood which cannot save us, Christ blood was infuse in us to give abundant Life. This is simply Salvation!
This baby had neonatal jaundice already with a possible long term neurological sequelae. This couple will blame it on the blood transfusion on the long run not knowing what their ignorance and carelessness has caused
Jehovah witness members really need to stop their way of thinking with regards to blood transfusion.
The man is a ritualist he just used his daughter for sacrifice and should be jailed
Useless blind man
Idiot .
Your loyalty to the Watchtower Society surpasses your love, that's the reason. You are willing to sacrifice her on the altar of their teachings to demonstrate your love to that cruel hoax you serve.
He's faith was really tested, but he should had changed his resolve wen d child was not responding to d alternatives for proper blood transfusion....
This dude is crazy, i can't blv a fool like this is still exist
What greater love than to sacrifice your daughter for the salvation of mankind
As far as I am concerned he is a foolish Father
We see religion in Nigeria like rules, its making us mad, Religion doesnt creates love get that straight into your dumbhead man, be wiser than your religion
U all should know n understand JW Faith n believe is cannot b compromise irrespective of d CIRCUMSTANCES! This World is Temporary their hope is not on this present Wicked World, rather it's on a d coming Kingdom where Life has No END. U ALL, should Stop spewing Ignorance
Nigerians overdo religion, is this not madness, ur biological daugher needs blood to sustain her life, u said its nt inline with your religion, am sure when she dies, u will regain your senses
If you are reading this tweet and you have religious decision to make, you can ask yourself this... 'Will this decision take me to hell? How will this deny me heaven? New age JW need to research on people who have done transfusions. Do they become spiritual imbeciles?
Just because God said we should not eat blood does not mean we should not accept blood transfusion because that's the reason why they don't accept it. It's the same God that gave this wisdom so that lives could be saved - this is different from eating blood.
DavidHundeyin truly these people ain't any better than terrorists
How open are his two eyes, yet he cannot see
Wow
Not supporting the man's decision. I'm not even a christian not to talk of JW. But a lot of people criticizing here don't understand faith, the power of religion & beliefs...especially when you're extremely convinced But common sense should have told him God allows exceptions 🙏
He's a fool. Religion make people blind. His argument here is like someone who uses his/her most beloved for rituals. What kind of love is that?
There is no love in those eyes..I have friends who attend your church and go to hospital when they are sick so I don’t understand your own kind of Jewit..
It's funny when people accuse this man blindly. The Christian and Muslim faith has gradually depleted our sense of reasoning all because of poverty. In today's world, our GO and alfa are like gods.
If you love her, then you should drop your belief to save her life.
Eègbádùn sir....Opolo yín need check. Especially biochemical markers for psychosis.
funshographix 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
It is a mental bondage in which the white men has subjected Africans into that has dealt with this man... I pray sense fall on Africans soon
He is just mad.....You probably love the dead.
Should we call that love or Ignorance.🤔🤔
Which love?
