To startd Tostory i will 1st ofandll say a big thank u to almighty God for making me still alive till today.I dont really have much to say about d journey,its just dat we spent about two weeks in a place where dey arrange for us as camp inwhich we are waiting for d weather to clear i.e if d weather is clear d sea will be calm for us to move but u will not underatand what i mean by d weather,its only does that are in libya or dat has pass thru the sea that will understand.on the 17 of july we left libya around 1am on a boat(zodiak) which is just like a ballon carring 70people consisting of ivory coast,nigerians,ghanians,mali,gambians,benin republic and one indian man.63 of us are boys y 7 are girls.we drove from 1am to 2pm wen we now discover dat our boat is already lessing which means sometin has bursted it.That is when everybody started paniking because there is no remedy,if d boat get flat everybody is going to die instantly so we started calling d italian sea rescue with our turaya phone but they keep telling us that they cant come to rescue us because we are still far from the italian territory.That is when everybody thought it was over because dat was d only hope we got.
So we started praying but in our mind we thought dat was our last day on earth because d captain has already crying saying we cant make it.Those guys calling the italian rescue didnt relent,dey had to lie to d rescue dat we had about 30 women on d boat and dat 17 are pregnant.immediatly d rescue heard dat,they told us to stay calm dat they are on their coming,dats wen we started having little hope.we waited for almost 3hrs we didnt see any rescue and d boat is already flat so we decided to hold our hands together to say d last pray of our life dat is wen we saw an aircraft coming to our direction and telling us dat we should keep calm dat they are italian sea rescue and b4 we know it 2 Big vessel has already arrive and started rescueing us inside their vessel and these was around 8.30pm.The vessel drove through the 9t and we arrive in lampedusa(italian island) around 4am d next day where we were welcome and treated like a king with new cloths,shoes,etc After some hrs we were taken to Rome with a first class plane.we were kept in a hotel were we eat 3 Square meal everyday.mind u,d whole expenses is taken care of by d UN.

That is the end of my story,if any question dont hesitate to ask me.
