How I Lost My Wife A Day After Giving Birth To Our First Child – Comedian Elder O

Elder-O-and-wife-Charity Odoemelam

Fast rising comedian, Ogechukwu David aka Elder O who lost his wife on the 6th of December, 2014 shortly after child birth has explained how it all happened. The comedian who spoke to a reporter with tears-filled eyes said: “I don’t want to question God, but I’m yet to understand why he allowed my wife to die during childbirth. My wife delivered safely on Friday through a caesarean operation and died in the afternoon of the following day, around 3.p.m. 

The management of Havana hospital told us they needed to operate on her to remove a fibroid growth before embarking on the delivery. Both operations were successfully done and she was responding to treatment before finally giving up the following day. 

We did our best to save the life of my darling wife, but she still died. When the hospital requested for blood, we brought excess, even me and few family members also donated our blood on the spot. In fact, I was making arrangements for more blood, coupled with the one already donated when she died. I still cannot believe my wife is dead. All the plans I have for her and our forthcoming first wedding anniversary are all gone, just like that. 

But why me? I know how many widows and orphans I’m training and supporting. I also know how many indigent pregnant women I’ve paid their delivery fees at different hospitals. So, why is my own different?” He asked amid uncontrollable sobs. The body of his late wife has also been taken to a morgue in Abia State pending when a date will be picked for the burial.
