My point? This can/does happen anywhere. Has nothing to do with any fetish practice. It's archaic thinking like that that holds us back as a nation.

This is a great idea. Perhaps CE members on Twitter can send well wishes with a common hashtag. Maybe #CEwishesCarl or something more creative.
Was just thinking of something in this vein. Could it be possible to sift the comments on this thread by the time it gets tired and send it to Carl through Wolves?

Good Lawd science is really not that hard. Why do we always have to invoke this kind of crap. This stuff can happen to any of us. Does anything ever happen to a Nigerian without invoking another human being being so evil to his fellow man. Can we just be sad for Carl and pray that he stays strong. I am just baffled at this sort of mindset

CE has a twitter account but juventus (not active nowadays) will know more about it. Perhaps we could also send flowers and the notes from here.

"Archaic?" Hmm, did the coach Oliseh say such a thing or not? Do we have witchcraft in Nigeria or in Africa or not? If answers to all the above are yes, what is archaic there? Doubt the existence of witchcraft at your own peril.
Now, that is not to say such is responsible for what is happening to Carl, but who knows?

What CRAP? Did you read the article by Coach Oliseh or not? If you did, why didn't you tell him he is talking CRAP when he wrote it and showed the evidence?

For those trying to call my reference to witchcraft as was formerly mentioned by Coach Oliseh, please see below

Oliseh flees Nigeria, accuses staff of witchcraft
ON FEBRUARY 8, 20161:04 AMIN SPORTSCOMMENTS 20 Shares19 *Demands N10m for accommodation By Tony Ubani
As the zero hour approaches for the must win double header AFCON qualifier against the Pharaohs of Egypt on March 23, Sports Vanguard can reveal the real reasons why coach Sunday Oliseh may continue to tinker the Eagles from his base in Belgium. After contracting a virus in one of his official assignments, camp sources informed that the former Juventus player has alleged occultic manipulations by his enemies on his life and has vowed to flee far from the country to where they could not fly to attack him. Oliseh “He is always scared in camp and suspicious of even members of his back room staff”, a close source to the team informed. The source said that the outspoken coach allegedly confronted his staff and warned them that there were many witches and wizards who were trying to undermine the success of the Eagles. “He warned those fond of putting their hands in their pockets before shaking him to desist or keep their handshakes as he feared they touch objects concealed in their pockets before offering to shake him”, the source said. Also, the coach alleged that many of the people surrounding him do not believe in the success of the team as he claimed that they don’t rejoice when the Eagles score goals. Beyond the trivial accusations of witches and wizards, Sports Vanguard also gathered that the coach had written to the federation to pay his outstanding N10 million accommodation fee as agreed in his contract(N5 million for 2015 and another N5 million for 2016) if they want him to reside in Nigeria as he said he would not stay in the hotels when the Super Eagles are not in camp.

There is another article I was trying to retrieve. In the article, a piece of "metal bar" was shown on the floor or ground, but I wasn't successful. Thus, for those who think witchcraft is "archaic", it is up to you people, but according to Jimmy Cliff, "who feels it knows it." Again, it doesn't mean such is the case here with Carl, but we will never know.
All the same, Carl - you can do this! We are 100% behind you and with you - God's blessings.

Of course it remains crap. If Oliseh wants to believe in this stuff that does not make it true. I don't care what he said or who he said to. Even if I had seen it, I would not have wasted energy responding to such ignorant nonsense. For this I only responded because this thread just does not seem the place for such misguided opinions. We are sad our brother has been dealt a bad hand. We don't want our positive thoughts for his recovery poisoned by your suggestions.

Your question is misleading. I didn't say Oliseh never said it. I said it's archaic thinking regardless of who said it
Do we practice witchcraft in Nigeria? Yes. Do I believe that it actually works? No. I don't. The way witchcraft works in Nigeria is by giving people the illusion that it does work.
Unless a victim physically ingests poison into his/her system to cause some form of allergic medical reaction, I don't believe a guy can chant gibberish in Ife to make someone in Mushin start dancing ajasco. Once we start the practice of performing autopsies for unexpected and unexplained deaths then I believe most of these fetish beliefs will begin to reduce.

Coach, since he's a good friend of a member of your family, is it possible to help us organize a bouquet or something else appropriate with our notes to give directly to him? It's important he feels our love and support at this time as we thank him for his service. The Wolves fans will overshadow us but I'm sure he'll really appreciate our gesture. Don't mean to put you on the spot, but thought this might be possible. He's our starting goalie.

@Fela, he's a close friend of a sibling. Personally would rather not be involved in any sort of monetary collection. If desired, it can be arranged, costing shouldn't be an issue, but flowers tend to have a poignant association with misery and sorrow. An assortment of well wishing messages from Cyberians in Aberdeen through to Zanzibar would be far more touching.
...If there isn't a direct way CE can tweet/retweet our regards, maybe tweets can be sent to my brother, who in turn can forward them on...but surely Cyberia can do this directly. And would need assurances that tweets will be purely for this purpose. Don't want any unnecessary traffic to the young man.

In addendum...
So...ikeme's twitter account or rather, twitter handle is carl_Ikeme. He has a public account/handle thus any postings would be visible to all. Private messages can only be sent by those he follows, to and fro.
Couriering private messages may be a possibility but my the opinion is, public messages could be retweeted by other Nigerian's who follow Ikeme but aren't members of CE and would certainly make Cyberia's statement more apparent.
Again, not one for social media, so if this all sounds basic, no vex. Where are the Moderators? Chief Oga Celluminatus, can you reactivate the twitter account?
Ndichie and Cyberian elder statesmen, let us move posthaste in thus regard. Can we reach agreement, settle on a message #CEwellwishesforCarl or any other, reactivate the Twitter account and get it moving.

Wrt flowers, my aforementioned friend who had AML wasn't allowed to have flowers when she was undergoing treatment. Something to do with possible infection and whatnot. So perhaps one should confirm beforehand if you do decide to send flowers.
Maybe a large greeting card is an option.

^Yes, flowers are not permitted in hospitals and with the immunosuppressive effects of chemotherapy, will more than likely be stopped at the door.

I think CE should pay him a visit. Just imagine how much he would appreciate that.
He can beat this thing and go on to live a healthy life but whether he will remain a top athlete is another matter. It is actually the treatment and drugs he takes that will affect his ability to perform as a top athlete. However, we are behind him 100%.

On a positive note, treatment of Leukaemia has undergone significant advancement even in the last few years alone.
My mother-in-law who was first diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) about 10 years ago successfully underwent aggressive and uncomfortable chemotherapy back then and thankfully went into remission.
It came back last year but this time the treatment options have changed drastically and the single tablet she takes is not even referred to as 'chemotherapy'. Meanwhile, the hair loss and other toxic side-effects are virtually non-existent and its all down to new treatment options coming online from continued cancer research.
So its so far so good and aside from some minor side effects, she's looking quite well and her blood indices are up.
Hopefully, Carl can look forward to a long and happy future with his family. And who knows, maybe even football. But for now, he is quite literally in for the game of his life.
