Yemisi Ilo, a creative consultant and project manager, says she's been
living with Multiple Sclerosis for nearly 10 years and feels that
Zara Gretti’s situation shouldn’t have deteriorated to the point of
death. She feels ignorance and not MS killed the singer, who passed away
on Friday March 28th about a year after making her illness public. Read
what Yemisi (pictured right) wrote below...
I also have MS and I am
currently in Singapore – where by His grace I will finally halt the
progression and hopefully and prayerfully reverse some if not all
disability.
I spoke to Zara on Tuesday. She said she was being given ‘Agbo’ to drink
by her family and that it was killing her. Those were her exact words. I
told her to not drink it. With an already compromised immune system –
Agbo is bullshit. It is poison. MS is not malaria.
I gave Zara clear details of exactly what she needed to do to try to get
well. It isn’t easy at all - I should know but unfortunately for her,
she was surrounded by very ignorant people at the end who felt that they
knew best.
I first heard of Zara when I read about her on Linda Ikeji‘s blog a year
ago. I got in touch with her immediately and started a Skype
friendship. I was in London and she was in the States (US). We spoke
regularly.
