…We waited for years before her pregnancy—Mother
CITIZENS COMPASS – A female student of St Louis Girls’ Grammar School in Akure, Ondo State, has reportedly died after predicting her own death.
The Junior Secondary School(JSS 3) student, Boluwatife Oladipo, reportedly died during school hours.
She was aged 12 years.
Boluwatife was said to have predicted her death many times before finally kicking the bucket.
Reports said that the deceased fell unconscious and died last Tuesday after informing her classmates that she felt like she would die.
According to eyewitnesses’ accounts, Boluwatife was playing with her friends when she made unusual remarks, stating that death was approaching.
She even mentioned that she had asked her mother to have more children, but this was ignored.
The eyewitnesses said she fainted during Mathematics session and was rushed to the school clinic, where first aid was administered. She was later taken to the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UNIMEDTH) in Akure, where doctors confirmed her death upon arrival.
One of her teachers, who spoke about the incident, said it seemed the girl had a sense of her impending death. “Last Tuesday, classes were ongoing when we were alerted that a JSS 3 student had fainted. We quickly rushed to attend to her,” the teacher recalled. She added that Boluwatife had been playing with her friends before the Mathematics class, and when the bell rang, they all ran back to the classroom.
“When the Mathematics teacher arrived, she put her head on the desk. Her classmates, concerned, went to check on her, and she raised her head and told them, ‘I want to die,’” the teacher explained. The students immediately alerted the teacher, who rushed to her. By then, Boluwatife reportedly repeated her wish to die.
Despite efforts to save her, the student was taken to the school clinic and later to UNIMEDTH, where doctors noted she appeared “paper white” due to a severe shortage of blood. A blood transfusion was initiated, but tragically, she passed away during the process.
After her death, some teachers visited Boluwatife’s family. Her mother revealed that it had taken years to conceive her and that she was the family’s first child. She also mentioned that Boluwatife had been urging her to have another child. On the morning of her death, Boluwatife told her father she would be traveling abroad for her Senior Secondary School education and hugged him goodbye.
The girl’s mother also revealed a strange occurrence on that tragic day.
According to the bereaved mother, she was at home when she saw the figure of a ghost passing by in the early morning.
She later informed her husband and both prayed together unknown to them of the impending danger.
