A few years after I served my first Mass at the altar of St Anthony's Catholic Church, a vibrant young boy joined the Altar Boys Association, when I asked his name from the President who was in charge of the induction process at the time, "he is your namesake" came the reply. From then on, Victor Edeke and I bonded.

As time passed, it was time to leave the altar and let the next group of God's boys take charge. I left for the seminary [story for another day] and Victor and I weren't as close as we use to be, but we kept in touch once in a while.

Then sometime in 2017, news reached me from one of our mutual friend, that Victor was diagnosed of glaucoma. I prayed and supported the best way I could, the right eye was operated upon, and soon enough he was back and better....or so we thought.

This evening, the same mutual friend put up a picture on his WhatsApp status, and when I pressed down my screen, I saw this picture of Victor, lo and behold my namesake has come down with a bone tumour, one that requires urgent medical attention.

This really broke my heart, because I know what my friend has been through already, and to make matters more complicated, I was just informed that he has lost sight in both eyes ���

I sincerely and humbly solicit for every help everyone can render to help my dear friend, my namesake......I am beg you!

He needs approximately 1.5 Million Naira for complete Medicare.
May God continue to provide for you as you perform this act of charity....Amen
