Nigerians Slam Aunty Esther After Refusal of Blood Transfusion Despite 30 Million Naira Donation
Nigerian market shopper Mensah Omolola, popularly known as Auntie Esther on X, has stirred major reactions online after news broke that she’s refusing a blood transfusion even after receiving over 30 million naira in donations for her cancer treatment.Earlier on, she shared on her X page that her diagnosis had been confirmed and the cancer had already spread to her breast and armpit area
This came shortly after one of the crowdfunding efforts on X, led by Wizarab10, the media personality known for rallying people together for charity. With the help of Nigerians, he raised 30,776,252 naira for her on December 1st, 2025.
But everything took a different turn when Obi Dickson tweeted on Thursday that the Jehovah’s Witness church was allegedly threatening to disfellowship her if she goes ahead with a blood transfusion. That tweet alone scattered the whole timeline, as many people couldn’t believe that after all the support Nigerians gave her, she might not accept a life saving procedure.
Some tweets:
@obi_dickson_“So after we raised over 30 million for her treatment, they’re threatening her with disfellowship if she takes blood transfusion This is painful to read.
”@NaijaHealthWatch“Religion should never put someone’s life in danger. Cancer treatments sometimes need transfusions. We really hope she chooses her health.
”@Iam_Wizarab10“I just want Aunty Esther to pull through. The money was raised out of love. We want her alive and well. Let’s respect her decisions but still support her.”@DrChika_MD“Refusing blood transfusion during cancer treatment can be risky. Hoping the medical team explores other safe options for her.
”@Ada_TheGreat“Nigerians came together for this woman. I really pray her faith does not put her life in more danger.
”Right now, the whole situation has turned into a heated national debate about faith and if religious choices should come before life.
As of now, Auntie Esther hasn’t given any new update, and many Nigerians are just waiting and praying she pulls through.
