Save This Boy With Enlarged Arm Spotted Around Ikeja Round About

On my way to work this morning, I spotted this little boy on traffic around Ikeja round about with a condition like Elephantiasis, Elephantiasis is a disease in which a body part is extremely enlarged.


There is massive swelling of a limb, mostly legs. It is most commonly found in India.

Elephantiasis is caused due to accumulation of
a fluid called Lymph resulting from the obstruction of the Lymphatic System. Elephantiasis can also be caused due to a parasitic disease called Lymphatic Filariasis.

In some cases like Idiopathic Elephantiasis, no known cause has been discovered. It is also spread by bloodsucking insects. Its symptoms include severe swelling, blocking of the lymph ducts, massive leg swelling, skin ulcers, pebbly skin appearance to name a few. The germ can sometimes be seen in the blood under the microscope.

This Boy needs treatment,he came all the way from the Northern part of Nigeria to seek assistance from people. I got his permission to snap him before doing this.

This is so scary, this boy's condition needs attention, he appears unable to pick his medical bills, he can barely eat good food, hangs around the road begging for assistance.

Please can we re-tweet till the likes of Dangote see this.
