Aunty Esther refuses blood transfusion
However, as a devoted member of the Jehovah's Witness faith, she chose to refuse the procedure, adhering strictly to the doctrines of her church.
Reacting to the situation, an X user with the handle @jimm_wea sent a message to Jehovah's witnesses, emphasising the importance of showing support for Aunty Esther.
She noted that her decision to turn down a blood transfusion caused her to pursue a more costly alternative treatment that aligned with her religious convictions.
She called on members of the Jehovah’s Witness community to offer encouragement and solidarity to their fellow believer, particularly during this critical time, and to continue the efforts of others who had expressed concern and support on the platform.

In her words:
"Dear Jehovah witness members please if this pops up on your timeline, this is the time for you all to show love to your fellow church member who has refused blood transfusion and has opted for a more expensive form of treatment due to your church rules. The people on X tried their best and we hope you continue from where we stopped. Come and be a witness to saving a life."
Reactions as Aunty Esther rejects blood transfusion
Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Yomi Daniel said:
"Thank you. I'm one of jehovah's witnesses and I believe if she is an active member she and her congregation elders can reach out to HLC (Hospital Liason committee of jehovah's witnesses) and they'll take it from there, hopefully before it's too late."
BM Bigz said:
"Support is support, and everyone who contributed has already shown up in a big way. If her congregation truly believes in the path she’s chosen, this is the moment for them to carry it forward."
Blessing said:
"The 30M is still more than enough to treat her without blood transfusion. People are just trying to manipulate her and it's unfair! She's not a kid."
Blackz said:
"All of you here will NEVER know if any of her church members has donated, because these people are the most secretive people I know. Have you seen any reply from any of them since? They won't reply. They've done their things in secret, trust me."
Andrew added:
"This is funny. Do you know how many JW families that have lost their love ones due to this blood issue? It won't end on Aunty head, she's not the 1st and she won't be the last."
