Society Gists

Few women bear the crucible of pain and face down death in a no-holds-barred joust and live to tell their story. But the controversy-prone former minister of petroleum, Diezani Madueke did and she emerged with her life intact.
Curiously, however, not few people are aware that the former ‘FirstLady’ of the Oil and Gas’ sector, once took a trip down death boulevard while she battled life-threatening cancer. According to her interview with the international and reputable journalist, Dr. Dele Momodu, the fight against cancer was a struggle she would never forget.

According to her then, “I called my only biological son, Chimezie, 14, in April (April of that year) and said to him Mummy has cancer… He asked me if Mummy was going to die…”

But with unprecedented faith and towering resilience, if the news doing the rounds in London is anything to be believed, then, Diezani has survived the deadly disease.
