In anticipation of the AFCON 2023 final between the Super Eagles and the Elephants of Cote D'Ivoire, Dr. Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, Chief Medical Director of Sckye Hospital in Akure, issues a cautionary statement.
Expressing concern for highly emotional football enthusiasts with heart conditions, he recommends that they abstain from watching the match and engage in diversionary measures instead.
The warning follows reports of four Nigerians losing their lives during the semi-final against South Africa. Ikubese suggests using mobile phones for live score updates to minimize emotional stress and systemic reactions, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health during the intense football event.
