PLEASE HELP ME IN MY STRUGGLE WITH VERY EPILEPSY….(Thread)
The past few months have been a huge struggle. I would have made another crowdfunding post narrating my ordeal. But I was scared because of how toxic and bad mouthed Nigerian Twitter has been the past few months.
Only shoes, torn clothing, and bloodstains remained on the ground.
Moments earlier, 15 unarmed Christians had been gathered peacefully under a tree near Jos, Plateau State. It was a quiet Sunday evening. Women sat together braiding hair. Children cracked groundnuts and played nearby. Elderly men and women enjoyed the company of family and neighbors in the open compound.
It was an ordinary evening filled with laughter, conversations, and simple moments that many of us take for granted.
Then terrorists opened fire.
In an instant, joy turned to horror.
The laughter of children became cries for help. Families were torn apart. Mothers fell beside their children. Elderly people who could barely run found themselves trapped in unimaginable terror.
When the gunfire finally stopped, eight innocent Christians were dead.
Seven others were left wounded.
The tree that had provided shade for fellowship became a witness to tragedy. The ground was covered with abandoned shoes, scattered clothing, and the blood of people whose only crime was gathering peacefully with their loved ones.
Some families would return home that night carrying unbearable grief. Some children would spend the night asking questions that no one could answer. Some survivors would wake up the next morning wishing they could hear the voices of those they had lost just one more time.
Behind every bloodstain is a human life.
Behind every abandoned shoe is a mother, a father, a child, or a grandparent whose story was forever changed.
Please remember them in your prayers.
Please do not let their pain be forgotten.
