His words:
"When you people are done being emotional, we will talk about the actual problem..... POVERTY. Every human being ought to have an emergency fund. Depending on your capacity, you should always have at least N1m as an emergency fund, which should never be touched unless in cases of emergency, just like the name states. You can come and start insulting me while blabbing about privileg,e but it won't change the reality. That woman is gone and she died for one reason and one reason alone, POVERTY."

Reactions to death of pregnant mother
@lifeinsolace said:
"I don't want to sound insensitive but they had 9 months to raise at least 5k for the deposit that was requested. I also feel we are becoming less empathetic. Is it possible that people could be in that scene and nobody could volunteer to pay the 5k deposit?"

@TrulyDearest_
"Neo you have money does not mean every Nigerian must have money. N500m is big money to expect from average families. Life is unpredictable, the man is not God to know there will be crisis in his wife's pregnancy and don't forget the deceased has given birth to three children before."
@kelvinisback said:
"In Ghana you’ll get free maternal care on National health Insurance Scheme. Pregnancy is life and death so it should be free."
@Kckingson said:
"The society is always at danger when men put emotions in front and refuse to reason logically. Imagine getting your wife pregnant when you know you don't have 500k in your account. That man is the reason why his wife died but he's blaming the private hospital because of his inability and inadequacies. You're always right Neo but we're not ready for that conversation."
