Girl Hailed As Hero For Saving Sister's Life
A 9-year-old girl is being hailed as a hero for saving her younger sister's life.
Anaiah Rucker bore most of the brunt when a pickup truck hit the girls as they raced across a street in Madison to catch a school bus. She almost died but was released from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite on Wednesday.
Channel 2's Tom Jones talked to Anaiah about her heroic act.
"I love her more than anything," she said, nearly in tears in her hospital room.
She was talking about her 5-year-old sister, Camry.
"I pushed my sister out of the way so she wouldn't get hit," Anaiah said.
Last month, in Madison, Ga., about an hour and a half east of Atlanta, Anaiah and her sister were walking across a street to catch the school bus.
It was raining. Anaiah had a hooded sweatshirt that may have obscured her view.
"I couldn't hardly see," Anaiah said.
She looked both ways and looked again and thought the coast was clear, she said.
Anaiah and her sister stepped into the road.
"I saw the truck and I was like, 'No,'" Andrea Taylor, the children’s mother said.
Taylor, who was standing on her porch, said what Anaiah did next probably saved her young sister's life.
"I seen my daughter kinda snatch my 5-year-old back, and if it wasn't for that, my 5-year-old would have ,  I don't think she would have made it," Taylor said.
That's because a pickup truck slammed into the girls. The truck driver wasn't charged.
Anaiah bore most of the impact since she shoved her younger sister out of the way. She suffered a broken neck, lost a kidney, has spleen damage and broke both legs.
"The left leg wasn't getting any blood flow so they had to amputate the left leg," Taylor said.
Anaiah has her good days, and then she has her bad moments where she suddenly breaks down into tears.
That's when her mother puts it all in perspective.
"It's OK," she told her. "Because your sister is alive because you saved her."
Anaiah said she did what she did for one reason.
"I thought she was too young. She's my sister. I love her."

Nice one.  My sister would have saved herself and conveniently forgot to tell mother she was at the scene when Isale became one with the road. 

Little sis is lucky. 

I need more smilies!

Still shaking my head at Prince Katsumoto, after 2 weeks saving lives in Japan, promptly returns to give aid and comfort here to my enemy.

But, I'll get over it.

Katsumoto:
I made a correction to the last part of the post. Check after Mucho.

   

JeSoul:
. . . surely, you can understand why some of us cannot take seriously someone who asserts the H1N1 virus was made by white people in order to wipe out others.

Funny, because white people would never ever never try to wipe out a race.  Never happened before.

Hiya, Jesoul! Still shilling for the beatific paternal white man, I see.

Katsumoto:

How can she talk like that if she understands the language? Ugh!  I was more fascinated by her doughnut earrings.

dayokanu:
blah blah Hot blah vulgarity blah obscenity blah 

What the hell are you saying?

Anyway, I hate you so much right now.  You remind me of this boy in my primary school in Naija.

My first day at a new school in a new area, this demon boy accosts me on the way home, and punches me in the stomach.  When I was bent over gasping for breath, he runs off laughing.  Hmmm.  So, that's how it is around here? 

The next day in class, I let him think he got away with it. This is a rascallion boy, about 9 or 10 years old.  The day after that, we meet at recess.  All I know is, I beat the crap out of him.  I don't remember any punches, because kids didn't really throw punches but more gidigbo.  I had him down on the ground, sat on him, and fed him some sand.  Little evil brat!  No boy ever bothered me again in the primary school.  The legend followed me to secondary school too. 

Wait for it, DK.  Every day for the thief, one day for the owner.  I'm gonna make you eat some sand. 

BTW, don't reply me.  I'm serious.  But I'll be cool. 

DAYOKANU,
You've been going all over NL Politics section insulting our president, and even worse, his wife.  You better stop it immediately. 

Also. . .
[size=4pt]Go edit this.  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-590933.1376.html#msg7858056
Take out my quote or something.  I don't like it.  Do it now.  And don't make it worse.  I'm serious.  I'm not your LovePeddler!  Everyone else: mind your beezwax. Do it and maybe you and me?  We might be cool again.[/size]

I didn't know that it had any sort of hidden meaning.  "Mutual Admiration Society" is a phrase I use to hear a lot when people wanted to say two or more people have  esteem for each other.  Come to think of it, I haven't heard it in a long time.

Oops!  My mistake.

Edited to Add: I think I've heard a version of it before.

dayokanu:
Ok i dey wait you

Never mind.  

Speakest thou of the devil!  DK, I need to talk to you. Gimme a moment.  brb. 

@FStranger: I'm not starting anything.  Honest!  I'm innocent.

PS: I really dont see anything to get upset about in my last post. It was made with the best of intentions and am sure you understand that there is nothing to be paranoid about. And I am glad you understand that fully. All these people trying to make a mountain out of an ordinary molehill is, well, not surprising.

I was not.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=590933.msg7958073#msg7958073 date=1300740091]Pacifist? Nah, I try to choose my battles though.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=590933.msg7952657#msg7952657 date=1300677257]^^ Warrior, still trying to figure me out? 

We are all hiding something on here, safe for Jarus, Seun and DK, I don't know anyone who has revealed the truth about their identity on NL  [/quote]Kilode, are you a pacifist, or do you just understand hunter-warrior types a little too well?  So, you adhere to meet every challenge with equanimity, so much so, even the "deliberate falsehoods" comment didn't phase you?  

I know he meant no harm o.  I'm just talking.   We're all having fun here.

So, any more hints?  One thing I'm almost certain of is, you are on this side of the pond.

PhysicsMHD:
I wasn't serious, obviously.

I can communicate just fine with "regular" folk, but they're usually uninteresting.

I've been studying, reading, and internet browsing. Not much else. Occasionally, I check in on this thread to see whether it's collapsed under the burden of its own aimlessness, but your suitors seem to be propping it up. That's about it

Puh-leeze!  hahahahaha.  You're even more arrogant than I remember.  lol.  It's all good.    One person's arrogance is another's self-confidence. 

"Suitors"?  Whatever do you mean? 

Anyway, I do get your humour, believe it or not.  And I thank you for chasing away the troll.

We'll see you again. . .

Sun of god:
And we have 'Bombers'

https://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/dec2009/6/1/umar-farouk-abdulmutallab-image-1-996988116.jpg

So no shaking - 

Our bomber, I mean, your bomber, the so-called bomber pulled his punches and only ended up with a singed crotch.  Poor brainwashed kid.  Anyway, he didn't do it.  It was all a setup. 

strangleyo:
And we've got jungles. Groups like Mend, Boko Haram, etc will grow in ranks and become like the Al-Sadr brigades of Iraq.

I wish!

But, we can't take that for granted.  How do we know those groups would fight to keep the country as one?  Sometimes those types of groups will align themselves with outside forces if they're promised something, like autonomy.    What we need is to turn every Naija into a potential killer of invading armies.  Teach everyone hand to hand combat.  Strike fear in your (potential) enemies.  It ain't childs play. 

hmmmm.  I'm warming to this topic.  

I was smiling when I wrote that. Pele.

I've read your other posts though.

It takes all sorts to make the world, and Nairaland, go round. No offense.

Poster, don't listen to her o.  Doesn't matter if you're 15, 30 or 45, don't let anyone tell you it's okay to cheapen yourself like that.  Few people on NL will tell you the truth.  They all wanna look "sophisticated."  Rubbish!  Good for you, you didn't sleep with the bum.

pleep:
the Nigerian military has about 67,000 profesional men. There is no way nigeria, or any country, could hope to compete militarily with the U.S canada, the E.U, China or russia. The military dominance of the west will continue forever.  keep in mind the u.s spent 663,255,000,000 on its military in 2009 alone.

I would support a concerted effort to grow the ranks of the Nigerian military personnel to hundreds of thousands.  In a country with the population if 150mil, it is not too ambitious or far-fetched to budget for a 200-500,000 minimum armed forces.  To be honest, I'm surprised the number is under a 100,000, if true.

1) I would support and participate in a draft.  2) Also, why not do what the Israelis do, whereby all citizens, male and female, of a certain age serve a mandatory number of years in the military.  What you want is deterrence.  Create fear in your enemies to the point they resist aggression towards you.  That is a war you've won without lifting a single weapon.

I bet you many countries would speak out against it too, once they see us trying to fulfill our destiny as the strongest country in Africa.  They're rather keep us weak, begging for their assistance whenever a puny home-made bomb goes off.  Eff that!

Physics, darling buddy.  Do you find it hard to communicate with regular folk?  I mean, people who don't have a 250 IQ, like pretty much 99.99% of the rest of the world?! 

  Anyway, where and how have you been, my favourite cranky Bini man? 

Very good, Alhaji.

Now, all you have to do now is to support a Igbo presidency for 2015. And we can close the book on Biafra for ever! Are you game?

naijababe:
^ Now u have my full respeck/adoration I was about to tell him to wake pass jor!!! Weldone, I say, correct initiation right there 

lol.  Seriously, what more does Kilode have to do for everyone of y'all to declare your love for him?  

I've been advised to ignore trolls like the poster in question.  But I'm thinking he's another one of Blacksta's area boys, if not Blacksta himself.  

blacksta:
Lol

Can you help me ask the poster the purpose of starting a  useless thread on a Nigerian filled forum as if by default many dont feel that way.

Lots of posters trash Naija joo. I don't blame the dude for doing this thread. There was another one where someone claimed to hate Nigeria. Did you tell that poster to stifle it? Huh? Did you tell him to "gbe mi"? Yup, I didn't think so.

blacksta:
another waste of memory space.

if u like love togo that one na your business.

Did your dog die?  So, you can't find it in your dead cold heart to have a smidgen of love or patriotism for yer fatherland?

Whoever produced that video deserves a PR award, that's for sure. But it's nice to see the good stuff. Up Rossike! Up Naija.

cap28:
isale i cant tell you just how disgusted i am with this whole situation, the brazen hypocrisy, the treachery the out and out in your face evil of america and britain in this attack on libya is beyond belief -

My disgust reached its apex after Iraq/Abu Ghraib incident.  I'm all out of disgust.  Anything they do now, its just 'same ol same ol' to me.  The beginning of cynicism.

the other thing that occurred to me is this - had nigeria, gabon and south africa abstained from voting in favour of this resolution, america and britain would have been totally screwed.

It's too bad Nigeria couldn't dig in and at least refuse to vote. Despite that, I am sure a "No" vote would not have stopped this attack though. An alternate way would have been found. Some other reason would have been cooked up. Libya simply has too much oil and is too close physically to Israel and too motivational to other African "independent thinking" to not get its comeuppance.

cap28:
i oppose this intervention on moral AND economic grounds, moral grounds because it is morally bankrupt to invade a sovereign nation under the guise of humanitarianism when your own troops are killing unarmed civilians in iraq, afghanistan and pakistan.  Immoral because the racist zionist govt of israel kill and maim palestinians on a daily basis and america not only arms and finances this country to the tune of $2 billion per annum but actively vetoes any attempt to stop this injustice, immoral because this same so called international community failed to intervene in rwanda in 1994 despite the fact that 1 million people were butchered at the hands of hutu militias, immoral because even in our country nigeria this same international community did  jackshit when obasanjo slaughtered innocent men women and children in odi , gbamaratu and zaki biam, immoral because nothing was said when abacha executed (extra judicially) ken saro wiwa .

economic because financially it is absolutely ludicrous to expect tax payers to foot the bill for a neo colonialist offensive when america and britain have more pressing socio economic problems to deal wiht in thier respective countries.

the ONLY beneficiaries of this debacle will be the american oil companies the arms dealers and the international financial institutions.

the african nations who voted for this are nothing but paid up rented who.res their own day of reckoning will soon come, how long before america moves south to appropriate the oil reserves in nigeria, equatorial guinea, gabon and angola ?  they deserve everything that will come there way for selling out an entire continent -  i thought they opposed AFRICOM - now AFRICOM is about to arrive on the african continent via a so called humanitarian intervention.

All good points, Cap. After watching world politics for some time, there's been a lot of unbelievable moments, but I threw up my hands when they were able to hang Sadaam after that kangaroo court proceedings in occupied territories. There's no one to stand up anymore and challenge US/UN. Mitterand is gone, and Russia/China are pursuing a new world agenda. More of this type of nonsense to come. Imagine? Openly supporting rebels attempting to overthrow a sitting government!
