Some heart-breaking pictures of a woman
who is reportedly abandoned by residents of her community, have emerged
online. The story is so sad, read on.
Below is an e-mail someone sent to popular blogger, Miss Petite Nigeria on the HIV woman abandoned to die in Ibadan;
“My
aim of writing is because I want you to help call on the necessary
authorities to carry a mentally derailed in my area that’s in Ajibode,
University of Ibadan extension, Ibadan.
The
lady is called Victoria and she is presently behind the primary health
care centre there. She used to be very active and industrious, she picks
empty bottles and goes to Ojoo market to sell.
Was even told she has kids and husband but nobody knows where they are.
I
had an encounter one day, I was buying pepper from a woman, and the
woman needed some change, she approached her, and she helped changed the
money into lower denominations.She left the area sometime,but when she
came she became very sick.
I
saw her on my way back from work yesterday close to the road where she
could easily be killed by a vehicle, but everyone just looked with pity
and left.
So
with the help of some ladies we were able to carry her from the
roadside and put her behind the maternity centre, bought food for her
and paracetamol.
ofcourse
she muttered some words saying ” E sanu mi, ara n ro mi” Have mercy on
me I am in pain. she even requested for mirinda which she was given, she
sat up took the drug and drank the mirinda.
This
morning i went there to give her food, but what I say was something
else. I spoke with a nurse and she told me she conducted a test on her
last week and she is HIV positive, was told she stole fish, was beaten
to a pulp that was why her condition worsened. Since 2008 that i have
lived in the area she has never stolen, she makes money, buy raw food
and cooks by herself. so if she stole it must have been because of her
health issues probably she was hungry.
She used to stay in that dirty place with refuse before now.
kindly help call the necessary authority to do something about her.
