Ab Isong, a lead Pastor of The Citadel in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, shared this sad story on Facebook.
The
woman identified as Felicia was brought to Young Shall Grow in Lagos by
her husband, who he claimed was well aware that she was sick. She slumped and died
shortly after the vehicle arrived Itam Park, Uyo on Thursday morning, April 27. Read his post after the cut…
DEAD ON ARRIVAL:
Somehow i wanted to overlook this story, but it boils down to marrying a wrong man hence this post.
Earlier today (thursday 6.pm precisely), I went to Itam Park long
distance bus terminus where i was expecting a parcel from Lagos.
On arrival I saw an unusual crowd and I decided to get close. Only to
find this woman dead and laid beside the young shall grow bus which
transported her to Uyo.
I was privileged to ask a co-passenger who boarded same vehicle with her from Lagos to Uyo.
She said the woman’s husband brought her to the park alive to board the
vehicle. And that He knew the woman wasn’t very strong while embarking
on the long journey. And had made arrangement with a pastor here in Uyo
to pick her and commence prayers.
The woman arrived Uyo alive,
stepped out of the vehicle, asked for her luggage to be given to her
which the driver obliged. Seeing she was weak, they offered her a chair
to sit while waiting for pick-up.. the next thing she fell off the chair
and that was the end of her life here on earth.
Minutes later,
The Pastor came but was told from a distance that the lady he just spoke
with on phone is dead. The man took off and disappeared.
Everyone deserted her but the good Samaritan in me came alive and I
decided not to leave her there just like others did. I had to put a call
across to the Nigerian Police and they responded swiftly. they came to
the scene but my joy was complete when a woman came around and
identified the lady as Felicia.. she wept and said Edoh Eke Wod meaning
(they married her to kill her)… she has been taken to the mortuary by
the Nigerian Police.
But my trouble is, Why will a man allow his wife travel such a long distance alone knowing too well she was sick?
Did he ever love that woman?
Did he know the woman won’t survive and decided to send her back to her state for death?
Why didn’t he take her to the hospital for treatment?
Oh Lord! help us… My wife is still weeping.
I’m happy i did my best.
Woman I don’t know you, But may God bless your soul.
Rest In Peace.
Don’t just write R.I.P, the reason i wrote this is for us to learn from it.
Never stay with a man who has no regards for you. if you die he will
marry another. Marriage is not by force. You can still make heaven
without marriage ooh! Marriage is not a yardstick to measure success.
I speak in anger! if staying single will keep you alive, please stay single and live than to marry and die.
