Below is the initial narrative of the young manâs survival as shared by his friend Ezekiel before passing away the next day.
My experience yesterday⌠I havenât really seen someone take the last breath or go close to death,Now I know how scary it looks and goes, and also experienced a miracle before me. Iâm the type that doesnât believe in excess prayers instead of shouting and making noise, do the needful first then ask for Godâs grace. But! In a situation where you donât have any help and canât do my so-called needful, what do you do?
True life story
Yesterday,my friends and I went home,so one of them during our conversation before,said he was sick. Heâs walking with us,so it canât be really serious I said to myself. After eating,we were chatting and sending videos via xender. So as I was telling my guy a joke,suddenly he just fell from the beach(the fell was in slow motion just like ones in television).
His facial expressions werenât funny and he wasnât moving too. Jesus!!i shouted, automatically my heart left me,my other friends held the guy shouting and trying to play the doctor though scared. i rushed out to call for help, luckily my mum was around.i tried explaining but wasnât making sense so I had to drag her to the spot. She was perplexed and started shouting and praying. I rushed and got water though I donât know what to do with it (thanks to nollywood). I was told it wasnât a water issue.
Thank God neighbors has gathered already. I looked and saw my strong mum extremely scared.
Everyone was praying,i was just saying Amen wholeheartedly. As I was looking at my friend still the way he was I became more scared,i started praying too. After about 5 mins,Surprisingly my friend moved his eyes,the praying was getting hotter,so one elderly woman went close to his ears and started praying,the lifeless guy started saying Amen Amen Amen so dull.
Is this a dream? i said to myself. my guy is messed up everywhere,he even broke his head. To cut the story short,in the next 15 mins,we got the parents involved,went to hospital and everything was stabilized,after some hospital deeds,my guy is moving,talking and finally laughing to my stupid jokes again. he even took a selfie and I asked him to post it saying âchilling with dem nursesâ. He donât even know what he made us pass through.
Please donât dare to think it isnât a big deal, Had it been the guy died, some corrupt Nigerian police will tell you iâm a cultist or ritualist into yahoo plus (online scam that requires human sacrifice) that I poisoned the food and I know my family wouldnât be safe either.
