New details have emerged surrounding the tragic de@th of rising Nigerian singer Ifunanya Nwangene, who reportedly d!ed after being bitten by a cobra in her Abuja home.
Ifunanya, aka Nanya_music or Soprano Queen, was a popular chorister in Abuja. and is said to have d!ed from the snake bite on Saturday, January 31.
Reacting to the incident, popular online doctor, Aproko Doctor, said that late Ifunanya did not d!e from the snake bite but from actions after the incident.
In a video he shared online, Aproko Doctor said late Ifunanya went to two different hospitals for anti-venom to be administered on her but that both hospitals turned her back as they had no anti-venom in store.
‘’I am sure you have heard the story of the lady who was bitten by a snake and she d!ed. Its a very sad story especially when you think about it but the what if I tell you its not the sake that k!lled her.
"Snakes bite people everywhere whether in the bush, city, India, other countries. Snakes b!te people but they do not d!e like this. They do not d!e just because they went to two seperate hospitals and they look them straight in the eye and told them ‘we do not have antivenom’. In a country where snakes live…in 2026..not 1980 or 1970… 2026.''
He said what is more shocking is that Nigeria has a particular antivenom developed for Nigerian snakes.
‘’It's caled Echitab. The question is why was this anti-venom not in the fridges of the hospitals she went to?
"Simply because we have forgotten the basics. Our politicians have forgotten flyovers where ambulances don't exist. We are focusing on building ‘ultramodern hospitals’ when the primary healthcare centers which is the first point of call in any functioning country should be.
"Rather than focus on those ones, they would rather want to do a big project, cut ribbons and everybody is going to clap for them simply because they are trying to focus on the next election rather than the lives of the people they are supposed to save'' he said
