70 year old resurrect in mortuary 30 houts after being confirmed dead

Amos Otene reportedly resurrected after he was certified dead by medical practitioners in Makurdi, Benue State.
According to a report, Doctors at a private hospital in the town had, on Wednesday, August 26, 2015, certified Otene dead at 4.30 a.m. and wheeled him into the mortuary where his was for 30 hours awaiting instructions from members of the family for embalming.
According to reports, Otene had had a toothache and was rushed to the private clinic, on Tuesday, August 25. A day later, he was certified dead and the doctors whose names were not mentioned in the report wanted to embalm him but because there was no family member to give the go-ahead, they instructed that his body be wheeled to the morgue.

30 hours later, Eche Otene, the son of the ‘deceased’, who lives in Lafia, Nasarawa State, went to the morgue to identify his father's body, however when he got there, his father raised his hand to acknowledge the presence of his son and followed that gesture by sitting up on the mortuary trolley.

The question everyone want answered is: Was the man sentenced to death by an inexperienced medical team or did he actually die but was brought back to life by God?

People who believe in science think Pa Otene could not have died in the first place and the question of resurrection was out of the question. The only explanation, according to a Makurdi-based medical practitioner, Dr. Ameh Edace, is that the  retiree could only have been “in a long coma”.
The Medical Director of Rekiya Memorial Hospital, Kaduna, Dr. Bello Mohammed, said that “in the history of medicine, there has not been any case of anybody coming back to life after being certified dead.” He added:
“If a person is pronounced clinically dead, he remains dead and there is no way he can come back to life, certainly not after 24 hours. On this case in question, the only medical explanation is that the patient was in a long coma.”To this school of thought therefore, if  doctors  had certified Pa Otene dead, then the competence of such  doctors  should be called to question.

There are others who think it's a miracle by God who brought him back to life.

Is this a case of a miracle or medical incompetence?

Lamar Odom out of coma, speaks with Khloe Kardashian

Lamar Odom appears to be on the road to recovery!

The 35-year-old former NBA star has woken up from a coma he slipped into after being hospitalized on Tuesday, following adrug overdose at a brothel in Nevada, and is able to communicate.

On Friday, Odom opened his eyes, saw Khloé Kardashian, who has been by his bedside as he fights for his life, said, "Hey, baby," gave her a thumbs up and then went back to sleep, a source told E! News.

The source also said he is no longer using a breathing tube. Another source told E! News on Friday afternoon Odom is speaking and functioning. In addition to Khloé, 31, he us with his children and other family members, including cousins. Khloé, who arrived with mom Kris Jenner and several of her sisters, had had Odom's father, his two kids and their mother flown in to see him.

The basketball player was found unconscious at the brothel. At the hospital, he was hooked up to a ventilator and his condition was deemed critical. Doctors had indicated to his family thatbecause he likely suffered multiple strokes, he could have severe physical and mental impairment and that the longer he remained unresponsive, the less likely he may have normal brain function if and when he woke up.

Odom's friends and fellow basketball players, including Kobe Bryant, who was his teammate when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers, have also visited Odom at the hospital, while others have expressed their support from L.A.

"Hopefully he gets well, hopefully he pulls out of this thing, and get the support that he really needs," an emotional Metta World Peace told E! News on Thursday. "And that's pretty much all I really have to say."

Breast ironing: The tradition of girl's breast being flattened with hot stones and metals

And a well kept secret over generations of women. Thankfully, victims of breast ironing/ flattening are now coming forward to speak about their experience so as to create awareness about it and for rallying to put an end to this inhuman practice which, according to the United Nations Population Fund(UNFPA) is one of the five under-reported crimes relating to gender-based violence. The others are “bridenapping” in Central Asia, the epidemic of traumatic fistula in Africa, femicide of women in Central America and child marriage.

The issue came to the fore when Leyla Hussein, a Somali psychotherapist and social activist now based in the UK tweeted about it, “Why everyone should know about breast ironing”. She blogged for Cosmopolitan regarding this practice.

“Breast ironing is when a hot iron or stone is used to burn or compress the breast tissue. Destroying a woman’s or girl’s breasts in this way can take anything from a couple of days to a few weeks. The words ‘culture,’ ‘tradition’ or ‘religion’ might come up when trying to explain this absurdly harmful practice, but as in the case ofFemale Genital Mutilation, these words are only thinly veiled excuses.”- Leyla

Breast ironing is the brutal flattening of a young girl’s developing chest to “protect her from rape and sexual harassment”. It is believed that if the breasts are flattened, the girls would be less feminine, and less attractive to men, preserved from rapes or pre-marital sexual activities and teenage pregnancies, and thus be able to complete their education.

This is absurd logic because despite breast ironing girls are raped and they become pregnant. In fact, ironing the chest with spatula, stones or hammer heated over coal in the effort to make the breasts “disappear” perpetuate various physical and psychological damages on the girls who are subjected to it, in 58% of the cases, by their own mothers. Often, but not always, the father remains completely unaware of it. Rich families prefer to use an elastic belt to press the small paps to prevent them from growing.

Young girls from 11 to 15 years of age are exposed to numerous health problems such as cancer, abscesses, itching, and discharge of milk, infection, dissymmetry of the breasts, cysts, breast infections, severe fever, tissue damage and even the complete disappearance of one or both breasts. They feel as if their chests are (literally) on fire. In a number of cases, when these girls bear a child, they are unable to produce milk and then bitten by “driver ants” in an effort to swell the breasts and produce milk. No milk is produced.

Needless to say, this procedure is extremely painful and violates a girl’s physical integrity. The teenagers are so traumatized that sometimes they do not want anyone to touch their breasts for the rest of their lives. Besides, some have confessed to being ashamed of their flattened chest which makes them look like boys. It destroys their confidence and their social and psychological well-being.
According to an estimate by the UN, 3.8 million young women are at risk of breast ironing in Central and West Africa. It is a widespread practice in Cameroon. Other places that may be at risk include Nigeria, the Republic of Guinea, Togo and Côte d’Ivoire.

Since it is perceived that it is for the “safety” of young women, they keep quiet about it which further perpetuates this violence. Lyela opines that “it is ‘absurd’ that women’s bodies are not ‘considered safe in their natural states’.” Men should be held responsible for not controlling their urges, not rape survivors.

Women who are now campaigning against breast ironing try to educate the girls by asserting that breasts are created by God and ironing them is dangerous. They believe that education is the only way to put an end to this barbaric practice. They also assert the importance of sex education as a guarantee against teenage sexual activities and pregnancies rather than breast ironing. If girls are taught about their bodies at the onset of puberty, they will be able to take care of their bodies better.

Some organizations which are working for awareness against breast ironing are London-based charity Women’s and Girl’s Development Organisation (Cawogido), and the Association of Aunties, a national network in Cameroon that promotes sexual dialogue. Often they are short of sponsors which make it difficult to work at the scale they would like to. You can visit their websites using the link given below:
