Centurion101:
I write this story to encourage people to always help if they are in a position to do so, especially is the situation is dire. What goes around comes around and you might just find yourself in a situation where you Will need help from strangers and hope they help you too.

Days ago I was in my neighborhood in South West running some errands at around 9pm on Sunday when I found myself in a very busy road packed to the brim end to end with cars stuck in a hold up trying to beat the jam to get to Thier respective destinations.

I turned the ignition off since I've already spent like 20minutes without moving an inch, a few seconds later I heard a loud bang it was a speeding bike who wanted to use it's small size to it's advantage to beat the traffic, upon close inspection I realized the bike has Just hit a guy with full force and ran away.

Consequently people came out to check on the guy that was hit,he was unconscious bleeding from the back of his head and face, unfortunately the bike's force banged him right into a very big cement structure that would probably weigh a couple of tons.

Nigerians being Nigerians started praying and speaking in tongues instead of administering aid to the guy, nobody was willing to touch him,there were just shouting and saying he is probably dead and they don't want police to charge them with his death.

At this point I tried to control the crowd to disperse and at least give this guy room to breathe and get some fresh air hoping that might resuscitate him,but there were like 50people gathering there and there is only so much a single person can do.

So realizing no one was willing to help this guy I fought my way through them ruggedly to get to the guy I realized he has a broken leg and arm and he was bleeding heavily but he has a pulse and he is not dead,
I don't know what I was thinking or what power came over me but the fact that he is alive made a difference to me and I said to myself I will take him to the hospital even if I have to carry him on my back and trek there.
I asked a man to help me Carry him, he asked do I know the victim and I answered yes,he is my junior brother.

so they helped me lift him up and I carried him on my back and began to speed, now the next thing was how to get transportation,we are in a hold up and no car is moving, by this point the crowds has dispersed and left me alone to tend to my PROBLEM.

I locked my car , sat the guy close to the side of the road ,I tried to find something that could apply pressure to reduce the bleeding,then it dawned on me that a cloth will do just fine,so I removed my shirt and tied it around his leg where he was bleeding the most.

Like I said earlier the task at hand was how to get transportation to the closest hospital, I began flagging down bikes but none of them stopped out of fear until I literarily ran in front of one forcing him to stop and told him to take me to the next hospital,I was about to start begging him to not let this guy die because of fear when this guy got down from his bike offering to help lift him so we can take him to the hospital,I don't know if it's God that sent him or it was just pure luck but he helped and we put the victim in the middle and started our journey to the hospital.

On the way I checked the guy's pulse and breathing like every second, telling him he's going to live one way or the other because my work will not be in vain. As God will have it he opened his eyes but he was still incoherent and totally out of it ,but at least now his eyes is opened and he is not laying down like a dead man,that kind of gave me an atom of hope.

Moments later we arrived at a private hospital and they were just about to close, apparently they had some issues with the workers that were supposed to cover a night shift, infact there was only one doctor on call and a few nurses around so it was all hands on deck, the victim was stretched in and as per private hospital wahala they demanded card and treatment fee up front, I even begged them to at least priorities the guy's life first but they said no money no treatment,so I paid for card, admission fee and treatment, it was 33,000 naira

After payment the doctor came in with the nurses and started working Thier magic, giving him some injections , cleaning his wounds,they even plugged him up with something that aided his breathing (I don't know what the thing is called).

After a couple of hours around 11:30pm the doctors came out and told me he was stable,that he had some internal bleedings that has Been stopped and he is responding fine to the treatment,they said I can go and see him if I wanted.

I went into the ward and checked up on him,he was heavily medicated and he couldn't really say anything that makes sense,he was just fixated on my face, strolling in and out of consciousness.

I slept in the hospital and the following morning around 8am he was awake and fine ,so I went to see him and when he saw me,he just started crying uncontrollably saying THANK YOU like a hundred times without stopping, this kind of made me a bit emotional because I've not really seen a lot of grown men cry.
He gave me his phone and I contacted his family members and told them what Happened, his mother almost passed out on the call, some minutes later they all rushed into the hospital. I peeked at them through the glass window when they went to his ward,the relief and joy in Thier faces is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my life.

I left my number with the nurses there and told them to give to the guy when he is discharged and I made my way down to fetch my car, hoping and praying fervently that the car is still there and that was it.

That 33k was the best thing I've paid for in all my life and what happened just gave me joy and relief anytime I think about it.

The guy and his parents calls me like a billion times a day,they even offered to pay me back but I refused, collecting the money back is not worth the joy I got from doing what I did.

There is a greater joy in giving than receiving (Act 20 vrs 35) Indeed there is incomparable joy in saving la human life.

. Why exactly is BAT afraid of debates.

The first picture was when the debate was announced earlier today.

The second picture is after tinubu cowardly chickened out



https://twitter.com/FS_Yusuf_/status/1589298931258662912

. Arise TV ...Voice of Obi AIT ...Voice of Atiku TVC ..Voice if Tinubu ....Yiu just have heard the untold story! The wise understand what I am saying.I come in peace!

LeoDeKing:
Atiku is coming to terms with realities.

Chelsea-Arsenal match ended 0-1 in favour of Arsenal. That was a narrow win for Arsenal and Atiku is already agreeing he will win by a small margin.

Few weeks from now, he will agree it will end as draw, later, the winning against him will be small margin. But a month to election, it will become landslide.

From beginning, Tinubu's win over Atiku has always been landslide and it will remain so even after election.

God saved Tinubu today, if he had stepped up to the microphone this night, he would have lost the 2023 election in November 2022.

Tinubu, no matter where you hide, you will still lose this election. We are tired of old, incapacitated sick ancestors turning up at elections to ruin the futures of our young people.

What did Jonathan young and educated President do for Nigerians? Food for thought! God should give us a good president ,young or old I come in peace

MeaslesMumpsRub:
Obj brought Internet perhaps you are too little to remember nitel and the bloom of the telecommunications in Nigeria and it is particularly worthy of Note that Objs government favoured Igbos.

You have spoken like a real Igbo Person or like a grossly unpatriotic Nigerian who is ready to blame everybody but not yourselves. Ready to point out faults and fallacies without acknowledging the success.

Obasanjo is the Only Nigerian man to have Hosted 3 American Presidents. The Balogun of Egbaland is not your mate. Former Ecowas chairman, Strong African Union Man, Mandela's Friend.

You keep shouting stole your money which money do you have and how much did they steal Inside ?

You are probably like 19 years old. Obj became the President the first time because he was the one who accepted to be. Others like TY danjuma rejected it cause of fear of counter coups and recounter coups.
He was democratically elected the second time so your accusations of him being imposed on Nigeria are unfathomable

. Obasanjo understands the factors that led to the 2 ND coup of 1966. North was angry with the East. After the coup that led to the death of Murtala he became the president. Obasanjo knew that the North would succed him.That was why he was supprting Shaagari! When he was jailed for the phantom couup he never knew he would become the president . There was the neeed to look for a Yoruba man to pacify the SW over the Abiola's death the North used Obasano and imposed him on us through the kangaro election. Before he became the executive president Obasanjo farm was an eyesore. The farm is the best in Africa now. When OBJ was going he handed over to Yardua.. OBJ is an errand boy of the North. You said OBJ brought internet to Nigeria To some people like you it may be an achievement but to me there is no feat there. Do you know what led to fight between OBJ and Atiku over Glo? Alake of Egba had to look for OBJ in London so he would forgive Atiku for approving GLO in his absence. He did not want Glo at all because of money he had been collecting from MTN. He is a man who does not want anybody to be like him. It was OBJ and Atiku that sold NEPA with both of them making money on us by having greater shares in the sales.Obasanjo may be a saint to you but as from me he is one of those that are creating problems for us in Nigeria. I am not Obidient and can never be one. As for OBJ it will be an abbration to use his image on our notes.What for? I am a Yoruba man yet I prefer MKO to Ebora Owu who is after his own wealth and wasted Yoruba slot in the inglorious 16 year reign of the PDP

MeaslesMumpsRub:
Obj played an important role in stabilising the coup by Nigerian military ravaging the government. Obj was the first military man to hand over to civilian government of shehu shagari.. Obj played important peacekeeping roles in Africa. Obj is perhaps, the Greatest Yoruba Man alive.

. I don't look at OBJ in that way.OBJ has been an errand boy of the North since .That is why they like him. He is a person who thinks he knows the best way of running government.What did he do for Nigerians when he was in power? Atiku and OBJ stole our money for their children. Additionally he does not want any other person to be like him. By the time he could not control PMB he started to criticize him with his gilberish letters. Yiur opinion is respected but I look at him as a person. Imposed on us to be president. No wonder he listens to the North to his advantages.

coputa:
moshhood Abiola was a traitor,that was why IBB annulled the election that he won.non of them deserves to be in the nations currency, they're not patriotic, they're self serving

. We can look at MKO in another perspective as you have indicated.I however looked at him as a person who won election and stood by the mandate given him. It is on that premise that the military under Abdusalam (Baba No Regret) handed over to Obasanjo. OBJ reaped where he did not sow. Agreed none of our leaders in politics is good .All are working for their daily bread at the expense of suffering Nigerian masses!

If they do that to their Brothers won't they do more to other people from other parts of the country! IPOB IPOB IPOB . If this is the solution you want ,CONTINUE! Thank God for the SW mentality.

Kagd10:
First, no one stepped down for Tinubu. Tinubu worked for his candidate. That was the pact he made before he supported Buhari in the first place. And yeah, Tinubu is a big deal. In fact, when he was announced as APC candidate, it was a big news everywhere. Including social media. As a matter of fact, he walking toe to toe with Peter Obi on social media until Shettima was announced as his VP.

Meanwhile, The North Central are part of the North. Just like you can't say South South are not part of the Southern. Lalong is a Plateau man which is core as it can get. If Tinubu picked Lalong, everyone will be represented. I mean, North, South, Muslim and Christian etc

Both of you are Peter Obi fans hence I know why you're saying all these.

You want Peter Obi to sweep the South South and South East and then pick some major votes from the North. I know your plans already.

The best is for Tinubu to change his ticket by including everyone and have a wide pool for himself.

I am not a supporter of Peter Obi and can never be. BAT Atiku and Obi are all the same . What is human friendly in a gun? Nothing ...They are all components of a gun ... However out of three devils we will take one. A lot of factors will not make Obi win. The battle is btween Atiku and BAT. If the North APC states do not betray him,. BAT has the greater chances to win in 2023!

fergie001:
What is the difference between the underlined?

I don't know what you are getting at, tbh.

Nothing like main character or not, after November 25, all these things we are saying becimes academic.


How can you put everyone and not state level in the same sentence? Is that not contradictory?

Don't you know what we call Federal Character is a Constitutional term? It applies to States as well. The Constitution in Section 14(1,2) talks about Federal , while 14(4) talks about States and Local Governments.

Federal Character is not just in name. It is binding on all spheres of Govt. So, it is binding on Kaduna, Niger, Ogun, Enugu, Rivers and everywhere.


Ok, let him pick Lalong and drop Shettima, it's fine.


garfield1 ejimatic

Tinubu has no other choice apart from taking Shetimma. In my opinion the North stepped down for him to be the party:s flag bearer. The condition they gave him was to take a Nothern Moslem as the VP. Do Northern chritians outnumber the great crowds of the Northern moslems? The core North will never support a Northern christian as the VP. Tinubu chose Shetimma to satisfy the core North. If the North does not betray him he can still win in 2023!

Proudlyomonna:
I believe you should be saying if Obi fails to Win if na Tinubu own matter,that one has been settled,He is not going to smell shishi, especially with his desperate Muslim-muslim agenda.
If Obi doesn't win Atiku will win, which might spring up another bout of Fulani killer heardmen wahala,this Time dey Will be emboldened, Power staying up North for 16 straight years will be stamping their baseless claim that Nija belongs to the North.
If Peter Obi WIN,they are still on the Winning side,bcus Up North like many others Region,2023 must be anything but tinubu and his evil APC disaster.
APC brought the kind of Suffering wey this Country never see before into the equation of How we should Vote this Time.
OBIDIATI IS THE WAY FORWARD.
#ENDAPCSAVENIJANOW.

Are you sure Obi will win in the North and in the SS and SW? In my opinion he won't win there. Are you sure if Obi does not not win there will be crisis? In my opinion nothing will happen. LP dies not have the strength and capacity to overtun the APC and PDP. As for the APC it is disturbing that just as it happened in 1983 when there were economic crises in the country chareacterised by inflation and high cost of basic necessities of life , so it is today. From the feelers around the country, it seems many people believe that it is PMB that is not good at economic implementation .So BAT is believed will make improvement on Nigeria. As for ATIKU PDP the fact that the North is about to finish an inglorious eight year reign may affect him ( North can spring surprise with the vote swing). Finally I believe the north will decide who will win in 2023. Already BAT Obi and Atiku have divided the South already. So if APC governors deliver their states for APC BAT will win but if the North use their abracadabra against the South and vote for their son PDP ATIKU, Nigeria will be in trouble. If 2023 issues are not well managed we may have the return to the military rule again.(God forbids)

ObalaEmma:
It doesn't matter, stand for the truth unless you want the degradation of an important side of the South continues to the North's advantage.
Pa Adebanjo isn't supporting Peter Obi based on his prominence to win but based on his previous interviews which I watched. It was to form a rallying ground for Southerners to demand more equality in how things are run in the country. Awolowo instructed him in this regard. I think he is thinking of a bigger picture than the eager Pa Faso.
If Tinubu fails to win in 2023, the gap of coexistence in the south will widen thereby aggravating North control over the South.

If Tinubu does not win (God forbids) there will be chaos in the country because of the undue control of of the North over the South.

blamingthedevil:
APC Presidential campaign in Anambra and Imo will be Monday

Pls check well Monday next iweek is not meant for Imo State oo..........You are right sir it would come up on a Monday.

StagethemTVee:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu the Presidential Campaign of the APC in a statement during his campaign said it is an insult and disrespectful to mention Funke Akindele where he is.
This is confirming that the APC does not see the PDP candidate as a possible threat in the Lagos State Governorship elections.

it will be on record that the S East has never produced the Executive president in Nigeria. It should be their turn now. However for this to take place there must be some synergy betwwen SS SE and SW .The SW will take the proposition to the North regions for approval. The SE is against that and wants to rule Nigeria with a minority party. With this approach it is easy for those who understand the Nigerian politics especially after the July 1966 coup to conclude that Obi will never be supported by the North in 2023.LP is viewed as as a Biafran party to the displeasure of the North.

Soon Adebanjo would be told that he is no longer acting. Okro plant cannot be taller than the person that planted it.Thise who attended the Akure meeting are big wigs in Yoruba land with Fasoranti in attendance. Adebanjo caanot be wiser than the "elders" of elders in Afenifere.

. Oyinbo and radarada! A foul was admitted as a goal with a playback showing it was a foul.. If it is today VAR will disallow it. Footbal is improving now. In another match Chambalean of Arsenal then committed a foul by touch ball going into the net of Arsenal but Gibbs was given a red card. It was after the match that the mistaken identify error was corrected. The VAR is available to check the mistskes of the refrees!

Just as it is difficult tlfir Emiefele an Igbo man to persuade the North to remove Arabic from our notes ( I don't know why it is there) so it will be difficult for the North to vote Obi in in 2023! . Arabic words should not be included in our Naura notes because Nigeria is not constitutionally recognized as an Islamic nation!
