A student at the University of Ibadan has emerged first class with a CGPA of 5.00 (no be small oooo!) in spite she was involved in an accident which almost took her life sometimes last year.
Hear her story as shared on her social media page.
Saturday evening November 14 2015, reminds me of what it means "2fight for one’s life’. As I boarded a 20mins bike 4rm my school (UI) 2d University college hospital (UCH, Ibadan) for a quick visit.I had no idea that was going to be my home for a while as within 5mins of leaving d school gate all I remember is a car running in2 my bike 4rm the side.
Me dragging my almost lifeless body away 4rm the busy road tasting blood in my mouth, pain all over my body. Voices of concerned passers-by helping me up as they asked…’who should we call?’. Jesus help me’ is all I could mutter as I was trying hard to hold onto my life while hearing ‘Rebecca please don’t sleep, just kip looking at dis light’ ( Nokia torch light)
Drips, injections, doctors, questions. Darkness…I couldn’t see a thing anymore…then I couldn’t make good sentences. ‘We have to run a CT scan and X-rays, to check her brain and her spinal cord’...that's the last thing I heard.
Neuro ward’…that’s where I spent the following days. "grin nurses would clean Ur wounds daily but U are not 2 move…or turn your head, U will have to eat , urinate, poo, bathe on this bed. We need 2b sure Ur spinal cord was not affected.’ D doctor said
Night was d time everything about life made me sad. I was a final year student, my project was still there, and I had exams in 2 weeks. I cried every night. Was I going to have an extra year? I kept asking God so many questions. I depended on d nurses 4 everything…..everything! I left d hospital n den faced reality.
My project, exams. I studied hard, it was difficult because I had 2wear d neck collar since I insisted on going back 2school, I dd not want bed rest.
So everything I dd, was wit my neck collar, eat, drink, bathe, read. I could not bend, lift heavy things, or sleep on a bed…I would cry every tym because I ws in pain but I had 2b strong.
I read in neck collar, wrote my exams, defended my project and graduated with a 5.0 CGPA.
Wit d help of God, family, friends, lecturers, roommate, course mates n doctors…. I pulled through.
Oh!...I still do not know the car or the man who hit me… Witnesses said, he ran his tyres on us…dragged us as the bike got hooked to the car and drove off on top speed!
