The News About The Death Of Prince James Uche
Made Today A Sad Day For Me
Whenever I read or hear about the death of
someone as a result of kidney failure, it hurts and makes me sad. Today, I read
about the death of Nollywood actor, James Uche. It made me somber, and I have remained
indoors since morning. This is how they would have reported about my death in
2003 but God gave me unprecedented grace that has kept me alive till death. When
I hear about the death of someone who died as a result of Kidney failure, I
have reasons to mourn because it could have been me after passing the road two
times.
The news posted on therepublicannews.net and
culled from Daily Sun Newspaper has it thus: “WE THE CAMPAIGN TEAM; CHIOMA OKOYE, RITA EDOCHIE,
EMEKA OJUKWU (TORINO), EJIRO OKURAME (SAVEPRINCEJAMESUCHECAMPAIGNTEAM). We
regret to be the bearers of this sad news, but our COLLEAGUE, father, husband
[PRINCE JAMES UCHE) passed on Wednesday following complications from diabetes
blindness, HBP, kidney. He has been experiencing fever, strange blood
infection, and strange blisters on his legs for the past three days after he
secured his Visa before he passed on today Wednesday March 8th in the Ambulance
on his way for Dialysis at 2:15pm. He was meant to travel this Saturday March
11th to India for his surgery… We sincerely want to thank everyone who donated
to save this great man…we shall keep you all posted…, Actress Ejiro Okurame
wrote.”
Despite the effort made by these people, the man
died. His death would have been prevented because the blindness was caused by diabetes
and all other things mentioned above are preventable through healthy lifestyle.
If he had known his status on time, it wouldn’t have deteriorated to this level
of death. My sincere prayer is that his soul will rest in peace. Amen.
It is proper to stated here that kidney disease can
be cured if noticed on time but when it has failed, it has no permanent cure.
Dialysis and transplant are mere treatment. As I am writing this, I am still living
on drugs after 13 years of transplant. The best way to avoid kidney disease
which can come from so many risk factors like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity high cholesterol,
obstructive sleep apnea, fatty liver, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis,
various cancers, mental disorders, and poor quality of life is to live a
healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t cost money. It is affordable
both by the rich as well as the poor. Therefore begin to live a healthy lifestyle
from today.
Secondly, when I hear that people are looking for about N10m (Ten Million
Naira), it amazes me because I know that someone can confidently do a
transplant with about N6m (Six Million Naira) or even less. But most people demand
for so much because they need money to pay their donor. You don’t have to pay
for donor. Every human being can live a total and complete life with one
kidney. In fact the extra kidney in our body is just a support. You can live
without it. PLEASE DON’T SELL OR BUY KIDNEYS. GIVE IT FREELY TO YOUR LOVED ONES
WHO MAY NEED THEM AND YOU WILL LIVE A HAPPY AND FULFILLED LIFE.
Another way to avoid kidney disease and eventually kidney failure is to KNOW
YOUR STATUS ON TIME. It doesn’t cost much to know your status. Just ask your
doctor to prescribe kidney function test for you. When you know your status on
time, it will help you to live well and treat it when it is at the early stage.
You should note that kidney failure doesn’t show any sign until it gets to the fourth
and last stage which is called End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). When it gets to
this fourth stage, it becomes irredeemable. You will then need dialysis and transplantation
to live. Unfortunately, dialysis and transplantation are very expensive.
Therefore, KNOW YOUR KIDNEY STATUS NOW before you will start crying had I
known. Live healthy and save your tears.
Lastly, I want you to know that having passed through this road twice
and with my present experience within the past 13 years, I have become a semi-consultant.
This morning, someone called me to make inquiry about heart operation in India.
I gave her the best advice she can’t even get from some doctors in Nigeria. IF
