Heartbreaking Photos of a Woman with HIV Abandoned to Die in Ibadan.
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.
