A man named Mr. Lawrence has taken to his Facebook page to narrate his ordeal and experience in an accident scene. According to him a family of 5 were involved in an accident and instead of people to help to save their lives, they were busy taking pictures and no one was willing to help take them to the hospital until when the man died… Read the story below…
I hardly make posts.I think apart from my wife’s birthday, I have just made one but I need to do this because I am traumatized by it.
This morning, I was rushing to catch up with my Sunday service at Benin from Osha.Having been forced to sleep at Onitsha due to head bridge traffic jam last night.
Just after Abudu, the Honda pilot in my distant front pulled a back tire and the Suv began to somersault.This car went up to about 20 feet above the ground before landing with its roof.This wasn’t a Rabo or James Bond movie but a reality.I was so petrified. Never seen that in my life.
When it was all over in just seconds or so, lying on the floor were a family of 5 children with there parents traveling after Christmas.
Their father was nearly gone, mother and 4 children heavily wounded and unconscious, one daughter not touched but shouting and shaking her parents and siblings to come back alive.
Road blocked many packed and we all started praying and calling God of life.(Nigerians can sure pray).
I now said we need to move them to hospital.I carried the 4 injured unconscious children into my Suv, threw all my suits and loads out to accommodate their only conscious sister and told the young pastor with me to drive them to hospital.
This is when I saw Nigerians in action.No one agreed to bring his/her car for the 2 unconscious parents.I begged, cried, knelt on the main road, nobody.Yet more than 50 different type cars were there.
Many snapping pictures of the people posting.
I tried to blackmail, it all fell on deaf ear.
I became crazy and beat on vehicles yet nobody bulged.
While this was going on the father gave up the ghost.
“HERDSMEN ARE JUST ANOTHER NIGERIANS”
When this happened, I thought hearts will change, but none, rather more tears without action.
I saw a govt Toyota Landcruiser with a pilot Hilux and knelt in front of it with my suit asking the man to use his Hilux but he ordered his police orderly to push me out.Guess what other hypocrites who refused for the past 40mins started insulting him for committing the same offense.
The mother was now going, yet nobody.I told my pastor to rush back and let’s carry these ones.
Just then road safety came to my help.Well by this time the woman was near gone.
We got to the hospital and the kids are being treated but doctors said more time wasting would have killed them especially the 2 boys.Thank God.
Please help me pray for them.
The road safety said it is only one out of one million people that help the accident victim in Nigeria.
Please let us change that this year.
It could be your family tomorrow.
I came back from the hospital to take these pictures of the car but not human beings.
