Please advise me on what to do? Nigerian man seeks help as his wife refuses to eat, sleep and bath since the d3ath of their young daughter

A Nigerian man, Onuora Okeke, is seeking help for his wife who seems to be suffering from traumatic grief following the d3ath of their young daughter, Amanda.

.....

According to Okeke, his wife has refused to eat, sleep and bath and all the efforts he made to calm her down have proved abortive. 

He said their daughter’s illness started with purging and vomiting, which he initially assumed were symptoms of teething. 

He took the child to different hospitals but the lab tests carried came out negative for typhoid and malaria. 

Okeke said he also called many “great Men of God” to pray for Amanda and they claimed the child was suffering from “witchcraft operation”

“Since the d3ath of my beautiful daughter Amanda my wife have refused to take bath, she refused to eat,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.

 

“She is full of fear. Once she see anything that belongs to Amanda she will be shivering and crying. She doesn’t sleep in the night.

 

“I have thrown almost everything that belongs to my daughter away including her feeding bottles, all the drugs we bought for her, pampers and some of her clothes so she can get better all to no avail.

 

“Thousands of people have been talking to her and yet. 

 

“Please those that have passed through this path should advise me on what to do next to calm her down.

 

“But losing a child is too painful. It’s not even good to wish your enemy.”
