Neglect in Nigeria is one of the deadliest and most overlooked public health issues today. Every year, thousands of Nigerians die not from incurable diseases, but from the decision to do nothing. From ignored symptoms to untreated infections, the consequences are real. In Nigeria, the most dangerous killer isn’t cancer, HIV, or stroke.It’s silence. It’s ignoring that small sign. That slight discomfort. That “e go soon go” mindset. Across the country, thousands of people, both men and women, are living with untreated infections, STIs, ulcers, organ damage, and more… not because treatment is unavailable, but because they chose to wait. 1. “It’s just small discharge” Until it spreads. Many sexually transmitted infections (like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HPV) show little to no symptoms at first. Some people experience mild itching, discharge, or slight burning… and then ignore it. That “minor issue” can turn into: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Blocked fallopian tubes Low sperm count or watery sperm Genital warts or internal ulcers Full-blown infertility 2. Fear and shame are deadly A lot of people are afraid to talk to anyone about what they’re going through, not even a doctor.They turn to Paracetamol, antibiotics, or local concoctions without knowing the root cause. Worse still, some just pray and hope it vanishes. But infections don’t vanish, they spread. And over time, they damage your reproductive system, weaken your organs, or worse… lead to permanent consequences. 3. Neglect isn’t ignorance. In Nigeria, we are not strangers to health problems what we lack is a culture of early action.You don’t have to wait until it’s painful, leaking, smelly, or swollen before you treat it. That’s not being strong. That’s being reckless. A lot of people think neglect only happens when someone is completely unaware of a health problem. But that’s not always true. In many cases, we know something is wrong we just delay doing anything about it. And that delay is where the real danger lies. In Nigeria, it’s common to hear phrases like: “Na small thing, e go go.” “Make I try paracetamol first.” “I no wan go hospital” “it will pass.” These statements are not based on ignorance; they’re based on avoidance. Many people choose to wait, hoping the problem will resolve itself. Unfortunately, most infections, STIs, or internal issues don’t go away on their own. They grow silently, damaging the body from the inside out. Delaying treatment means: You give infections time to spread to other organs. You increase the risk of permanent damage (like infertility). You expose your partner(s) to danger unknowingly. You may end up spending 3x more later if not your life. It’s important to understand that treating an infection early is always easier, faster, and cheaper than trying to repair long-term damage. But fear, shame, and money worries keep people quiet until it’s too late. Also, there’s a belief that getting tested or starting treatment means you’re “dirty” or “promiscuous.” This is false and dangerous. Health is not a moral debate, it’s a life-or-death decision. The truth is, taking action early is the real strength. Getting help, starting treatment, or using a trusted herbal remedy shows you value your life and body. The next time your body sends you a signal, listen.Don’t wait for it to end your life! 4.

Don’t Wait Till It’s Too Late Infection doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers.Listen to your body. Pay attention to those “small” signs.Because neglect doesn’t just kill fast, it kills silently. 📌 If you’re feeling symptoms, act now. Speak to someone. Get tested. Or try a trusted herbal solution.
