HOW I ESCAPED DEATH
It was on a faithful day, filled with much
excitement and fun. As a kid growing up I always looked forward to playing what
is popularly called “CANTER BALL”. I woke up that day, took my bath, ate breakfast
and then I left for school.
When I came back that day, I followed my routine; I
took my bath, ate lunch before completing my home work that day.
The day was quite hectic I must confess. When I was
done with my routine for the day, I went to sleep for some hours, I woke
up very late, it was almost getting dark…yeah…!!! I shouted, time for my “CANTER
BALL” I got up from the bed, wore my clothes and then I straight
to meet my fellow “CANTER BALL” mates. When it got to my turn, I went with much
ego and pride as a champion of “CANTER BALL”. About 40 minutes
after I started the game… NEPA brought their light, (you know what that means)
with excitement I abandoned the game to go
watch movies at home…. In the process of running home to watch my precious
movies, my right hand touched an electric pole close to where I was playing the
game, the electric pole brought me back with full force, took me up, brought me
down, did the same thing again thrice…that was when I knew that there was problem. I started pleading with the pole to
release me…shouting (brother please now!) not knowing that I was dying.
People around were just shouting helplessly because for them, they couldn’t do anything to save me… I was just dying gradually, because of the blood I’ve lost due to the electric shock; I was on the crossroads between life and death….. there was no strength in me again, immediately I got to the point of death, a brave man appeared…. With my weakened body, I saw him grabbed a plastic chair, came close to me and boom!!! He hit my hands very hard; I was freed from the pole after he struck my hands with the plastic chair. With the little strength in me I ran like Usain Bolt straight to the house, when I got home my mum was alone at home, I didn’t tell her what happened to me, I just went inside and laid down on the bed. It was after about 30 minutes that people started coming to our house that my mum knew what happened to me. She quickly rushed inside to meet me where I was lying down, I was seriously weak, because I had lost a lot of blood during the shock; she went out to buy me Maltina and Peak Milk. It became my food for over two weeks after the incident. The enjoyment was good, but the situation that brought about the enjoyment I do not pray for or wish myself again. God actually used a brave man to save me. It’s a thing of joy to be sincere.

The electric pole was protected with rubber after
this incident, so as to prevent another incident that ay result to death of
somebody.
