A true life event....nothing fictional.
I am not writing this to ask for any form of sympathy. Nooo.. it has gone past that stage but, to appreciate God's saving grace over our lives.
Today marks exactly one week since my brother's wife was involved in a ghastly motor acc!dent.
She was to meet him (husband) at the store so they could go and restock at the 'central market', as it is called.
He drove out with the T vzer just to go ahead before her, open the shop, and for Madam to finish up and meet him there. He waited and waited, but madam wasn't showing up...it was almost 11AM.......
Madam does not drive; according to her, she had N500 at hand to quickly pay the tricycle riders. After all, the distance between the house and the store was about 10 poles. A tricycle could take you for N100 if you bargain well.
While she was waiting, her neighbour (a good neighbour) drove out to the major street since they were headed in the same direction.
She hopped in, seated at the passenger seat (without a seat belt).
Hey wait, don't be too quick to criticise at this point...lol. That seat belt would have made it worse...
As they drove, within a stone's throw a major accident had happened...my sister, who had just entered the neighbour’s car, was flung through the windscreen and straight under a "well-parked" trailer...lifeless. You remember how that of AJ happened, right?
What just flashed? An accident everyone rushed to take photos and videos of the scene.
According to the neighbour, she said, when she saw the trailer, at an instant, she "thought it was moving" so she made an attempt to divert left to the speed lane. Instead of matching the throttle, she hit the accelerator with speed...and that was it...If you drive, you might understand better.
The neighbour driver, because she wore a seat belt, was unharmed, but my sister was flung out through the windscreen down underneath the stationary trailer💔💔💔 with her bag still crossing her neck the way she hung from home stylishly....you can imagine that🤕.
Infact everyone who saw the scene concluded she was gone...
But as almighty would have it, a man driving independently on the other lane had to go and make a U-turn, drove back to the scene, parked his car, and asked a soldier nearby to assist him in pulling her out🙆🙆 from below the stationary trailer.
He then drove her unconscious body to the nearest private hospital (???) where he was asked to deposit 76k+ before they could initiate treatment.
They left her at the emergency room while the good Samaritan/ Nigerian sorted out how to raise the funds.
Before long, as Almighty would have it, her husband called angrily at why she had delayed so much, but to his shock, he heard a totally different voice on the phone..."oga sir your wife had a terrible accident o, come so so hospital".
You can imagine the flood of emotions that would have run through his spine at that time....I wonder how he was able to even drive there with such intense anxiety...(MAN).
At the end, guess what, she regained consciousness... from near d@ath to just bruises.
Below is the car....
To add, I was told this is the second time this neighbour lady has had an accident with her car this year.
According to her husband, he will not be buying her any other car again....
Both the neighbour and my sister are doing okay, just with a few bruises... and going for CT scans and others. It could have been worse, 4 little kids?
I sincerely appreciate that good Samaritan Nigerian man...there are still lots good people out here💛💛💛
Eid Mubarak to everyone 🌙
