His landlord sent him and his family packing because he could not renew his house rent.
He then applied for loan from the manager of the company he
was working for, but the loan was not approved.
He contacted the influential man in his community, but could
not find help. He then called his relatives on the phone , but no one helped
him.
He went to Facebook and posted, seeking for help, but the
only thing he got was: 2likes and 0 comments.
He became frustrated and sent 120 messages to friends on his
contact list, asking them for support of N100,000. Unfortunately, only 10
people responded to the message. Six out of the 10 said they had nothing to
give. Only one out of 4 people gave him
N20,000, but the rest kept apologizing and eventually stopped picking his calls.
The landlord locked the house!
His family were thrown out and left at the front door of the
house with their belongings.
He became more frustrated!
He went everywhere in search of help but could not find one
until nightfall.
As he made more effort in the dark, looking for solution, a
truck ran over him and killed him instantly.
The next day, news of his death spread everywhere.
His Facebook friends made 2220 posts on his wall, mourning his death and expressing their admiration for him.
The landlord immediately ran to open the door for his family
to go in to receive mourners.
The influential man who earlier refused to help him, took
some food items and groceries to the family to cook for the mourners.
Preparations for his burial began later and his friends, who
formed a committee raised N1,200,000 through donations to feed sympathizers
that will be coming from different places.
His co-workers also raised N300,000 to collect booths,
chairs and other items.
WHERE IS OUR HUMANITY???
WHAT IS THIS THAT WE PRACTICE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION?
WHY DO WE HELP THE DEAD AND NOT THE LIVING?
Is this what our religions taught us to do?
Let's rethink and focus on being each other's keeper for the
sake of humanity.
