This is the first story I've read that made me want to cry...
Where did we go wrong that helping a dying brother becomes a taboo?

May any God you believe in, bless you

Centurion101:
We live in a country where there are no emergency services,so all we have is each other.
I'm here with this story today with a sole purpose, please don't ever stop helping people, don't refuse to lend someone a hand if you're in a position to help, I understand that it's difficult to help sometimes In this country because of the baggages that comes with it, for example some people said I should have left him because it wasn't worth the risk that I could go to jail and the police might lie that I killed him if he dies, which is a bit far fetched to me.
Sure I knew if he died the police would have to detain me till they figure out some details,but personally I would happily spend a couple of days in jail if it means giving a human being Thier life back.

I hope if I was ever in that kind of situation someone that values life comes along and help me too

Op u need to see as my eyes teary...

God will favour u, even Ur enemy will always operate to Ur favour..

You are doing great. May God Almighty bless your good deed

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.

It's a good thing to be good, keep doing good coz your reward is in heaven

God bless you immensely for saving a life, your own no go loss

May God continue to bless you Sir�

God bless you and reward you abundantly

SirZeus:


It's either you are not getting the point or you are but still think they did you wrong. You don't expect ANYTHING (whether thanks or money). What other call were you expecting after they must have thanked you when you guys exchanged numbers.

I don't know how else to explain it to you. Let me leave you with an example, I once paid for a friend's (also my course mate) school fees anonymously, and till this day he didn't know who paid for it. I didn't do it so he could thank me, I did it cos he needed it and I could help.

I have read stories of people helping accident victims, paying for their treatments and leaving the hospital without even dropping a note on how to reach them or even waiting for a "thank you".

If you've stopped helping people because they don't show appreciation, then my brother you've been doing it wrong. The kindness thing should be in your nature.

you should learn to appreciate those that help you simple as ABC it is only good manners

I'm 100% sure the Op is Yoruba, that tribe ehn very kind hearted tribe



God bless all Yorubas


God bless you Op, may none of your family be missing or involved accident in Jesus name



more protections to you too

Prettiepearlz:
Thank you for giving that young man a second chance at life! May you never lack helpers whenever you need one. Thank you for saving us all from reading another bad news on blogs. God bless you!

Another angle. You are bless.

GistFullGround:



This is an opportunity to start a company, Centurion101 Emergency Services or Centurion101 Ambulance.

The stupid WICKED government CANNOT do anything. Just register it. There are so many businesses one can establish in Nigeria.

You can involve your good friends to be partners

I want to be among

Aside the fact that you did something exceedingly good. You are a good writer. Kudos

God bless you nothing more nothing less.

Op u need to see as my eyes teary...

God will favour u, even Ur enemy will always operate to Ur favour..

God bless you abundantly too sir, thank you

Light78:
You didn't only save the man, but you are also saving someone in the future.

As others read, they will remember what you did, and try out to help anyone in that situation.

You did well!!!

I hope so that would be the ultimate reward, thank you sir

God bless you immensely sir. You just saved a whole generation. That young man will get married and have kids, who will have kids. God used you to make this line of persons not cut short by the devil. You're a living angel and an inspiration sir. I hope this changes the mindset of many in Jesus name.

YeyeBoyfriend:
God job sir, very bold and commendable step you took to help the victim but I’d like to ask, did he permit you post his pictures online?

Sorry I didn’t bother to read it, I’m just bothered about the victim anonymity, so just Incase he gave you the permission, double kudos

Yes he did

Financialman:

Nice one my man.Mine was in 2018,close to doctors house,UBTH.Me knowing fully well how dangerous that area was,I used to pretend like a mad man so I could pass there safely.That day as I was comfortably playing my role as a mad man I saw a male figure beckon on me to come I was scared at first,but on a second thought I stopped and noticed he was bleeding badly.he was robbed and then stabbed.I had to take him to a private hospital in my area,they rejected us,then I proceeded to UBTH ,sorted ourselves out before I called his brother to come join us in the hospital.Left the hospital around 2am the next day

God bless you sir

Mrsprof:
God bless you dear. For this kindness, God will never allow you to see shame in your life, before any need arises in your life the supply is already waiting for you on Jesus name Amen

Thank you ma,God bless you abundantly

UKusedBoyfriend:
Dear op, when you call God once, may he answer you twice. I felt emotional reading this, especially where you said even if you have to sleep in police cell in order to save a life, you'll do it you deserve to be the first person I will follow in this account.

God bless you sir

wow.

Wow.

Thanks man. I rarely say this, but God Bless You.

Drone95:
This post reminds me of 2015, when I was knocked down and ran over by a lorry on a bike, it was a terrible experience, the lorry ran over my head & my back while I fell face down, it was an untarred road with potholes and stones, i sustained head injuries passers-by couldn't help cos they were scared, blood gushing out from my ears and nose, I hearing voices but I don't knw what's going on a good samaritan carried me to the nearest hospital, they rejected me saying they can't take me, I was rushed to another hospital where I Was attended to , brain CT scan was recommended...... it's really a sad experience, I recovered after 6months though but I had lost some facial expressions, cos I was diagnosed with multiple skull Fracture with multiple facial nerve damage. All thanks to God, I survived, the man that helped me will always receive help in all his endeavours anywhere he is now

God bless you and that man sir,may you never experience that kind of thing in your life again

Well done, you did well , God bless U.

Ha, I feel so emotional, God bless you, it is people like you we need in this life and Nigeria, you are a hero, because you did this God will bless u and give you long life

Ha, I feel so emotional, God bless you, it is people like you we need in this life and Nigeria, you are a hero, because you did this God will bless u and give you long life

beeznitfizo:


Please next time make sure all the above is captured on ur mobile. IF YOU REALLY INTEND HELPING THE VICTIM, ALWAYS MAKE A SHORT VIDEO RECORDING, FIRST OF YOUR FACE AND THE EVENT, DESCRIBING THE ACCIDENT BEFORE HELPING. This is the only evidence you will get if the victim dies on you.

Okay sir,that is why I took some pictures in case the unfortunate happens

SURElee:



Hey God!
Help will show up for you and all related to you in time of need. Anyway you already know that won't lack help. Can you see that thee vehicle you left in a traffic jammed road to save a human life, was intact when you returned the following day without your car or tyre being vandalized by hoodlums? It isn't a mere coincidence Sir. You kept watch over a soul, God sent angels to watch over your belonging.

You have shown love to an entire family and friends of this young man, love won't elude you. God will be your ever present help in time of need. Before you call, He will answer and show up for you and your loved ones.

You have sown a seed and it will manifest in future. Because no seed we sow ever leaves our lives, it goes into our future to manifest and wait for us. This seed will surely manifests as long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest will not cease.

God bless you real good. Amen.

P.S: I took my time to bless you this morning because this family won't end the year mounting because of you.

It made me remember Rico Swavey of blessed memory.

I say again. You are blessed Sir.

Thank you very much for your prayers ma,may the Mercy of the lord never seize In your household.
