I drove into the hospital to some startled faces obviously shaken by some event that had occurred to which, I inferred, must be sacrilegious judging from their murmuring and muttering in groups as though to avoid eavesdropping ears lurking around. I was to understand shortly what this eerie aura was all about. I put off my ignition and made towards the accident and emergency, and there, lying on his right side, was a male figure. He had a hole on his left outer chest which appeared to have been drilled by a blunt metal, or a drilling machine or just something, and exiting from the back just directly opposite the direction it had entered from. This wound gaped wider than that in front.

Refined Face Refined Grammarian Refined human being Refined Professional A Honorable gentle man A refined brother who's job is saving lives. Our paths got bonded exactly 366 days ago when I was doing publicity for medical and financial help for Ik'okwú, that boy who's leg "was" hanged in the leg and needed help. Within two hours Doctor Okeme who is a refined surgeon contacted his doctor friends, studied the condition of the boy through the pictures I sent to him, got back to me saying they were going to conduct the surgery at a very little fee as a way of his own contribution to humanity and Igala brother. Same day his facebook account which was the only means of communicating with him then was hacked. By the time his account was recovered, Kogi State government already took over the bill of the boy. That singular act has printed his name in my heart that whenever think of good people, his thoughts cross my mind. Well if you want to know him better, go to his wall and see the beta beta sensible gramma wey em dey blow. Bro, I will continue to cherish and pray for you. As you celebrate another added year last week, May you continue do have a cause to glorify the name of the Lord. We will be here to celebrate you many years to come You are a REFINED human being "Bring up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" prov. 22vs6....I have known this bible passage by heart for over 20years now. Children are gullible and weak creatures that need our protection and undiluted love to grow and develop. What now happens if we fail them in this God given privilege? We disappoint them, ourselves and ultimately God. What adorns a man's heart? What resides there? Good and Evil.
You express one and suppress the other, one then becomes Dominant whereas the other Recessive. Life dictates which is expressed. Love, hate, poverty, affluence, squalor, depression, happiness just about life itself. It will serve you the trigger to shoot out one of these characters. A young man, about 26-28yr, burnt the hands of his 10year old daughter after, according to him, she had been accused for the umpteenth time of pilfering from the market square because she was hungry. She is a product of a broken home raised by her dad and her paternal grandparents for over 6years now. Well when she was brought to our facility, she was febrile and the palms were already decaying with offensive odour and discharges. We were able to debride, dress and stabilize her. She is currently recuperating. You see, I hear of people mistreating their wards and house helps in all manner of inhuman ways, but have I heard of a parent going this far as a punishment to their own blood? I don't think so. I mean in the full glare of your consciousness and conscience, you pick up YOUR daughter's hands and force them into a burning flame and leave them there while she struggles in unbelievable pain because she has been accused of theft? Men I am done. I am. BEFORE DEBRIDEMENT AND AFTER. |
