A man, Paulcy C. Iwuala has written to YabaLeftOnline, to narrate the ordeal he went through after he was involved in a fatal accident that left his two legs damaged.

In a letter titled “The Inhuman Face of God Is Good (GIG) Motors”, Paulcy called out God is Good Motors for abandoning him in the hospital.

Read His Full Note Below;

On April 2016, I was involved in a fatal accident in Ore. A head-to-head collision between God is Good (GIG) Toyota Hiace Bus and Peace Mass Transit bus. I was sitting in front of the car with the driver and watched two passengers die in front of me.

I tried to force my way out of the car, which due to the impact of the crash I believed may soon be on fire. The door was jammed, and all my efforts to break the side screen and force my way out was futile. Fortunately, some pedestrians on the roadside jacked the door open and I fell out, with a knee that had been ruptured with multiple fractures, and with a pain that was clearly unspeakable.

I was taken to FMC Ore by GIG management, where for 5 hours of excruciating pain no one attended to me. I had to call a DSS man, Raymond Nkemdirim, who was a personal friend, and through his mediation, the transport company moved me and the driver to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).

Again, for close to 24 hours I was abandoned in the casualty ward of UBTH because GIG Motors wasn’t forthcoming with the money that was needed to move me to the surgery ward for operation.

The doctors kept telling me that all they needed was for GIG Motors to pay 45,000 only so they can buy the anaesthesia and antibiotic drugs to be administered to me before the operation. The drugs were supposed to numb me; from my leg downwards.

At any rate, the only other option was to use the General Anaesthesia machine, which was so scarily old, duck tapes were used to glue some of the pipes. They suggested that was the only other alternative if there was no money to buy those anaesthesia drugs. Eventually I became so fearful of ever going through that GA machine that I called on GIG Motors that I was going to Abuja for treatment.

They decided to transport me to Abuja, but tried to offer me a single sit in the bus. Such brazen wickedness for a person of my size, not to mention that I was nursing a fractured knee which had to stay suspended to make the pain somewhat bearable. After minutes of argument they decided to give me an entire row of seat behind the driver. This driver however was so reckless on the road; that he made sure to jump into every pothole from Benin to Abuja.

The driver dropped me at GIG Park in Utako, Abuja, contrary to the earlier agreement, which was to take me to Alliance Orthopaedic Hospital, Area 11. He said he was not asked to do that. I called my brother who swarmed the office with 3 Hilux vans full of policemen.

After they threatened to seize their buses if they didn’t comply with the initial arrangement, they eventually took me to Alliance Orthopaedic Hospital. Afterwards, GIG Motors will continue to avoid any contact with me, and refuse every overture to partake in the financial aspect of the medical attention I received in the hospital.

Their abandonment, and the trauma which they had caused me beginning from that fatal accident to the continued inhumane nonchalance to my situation has warranted my now calling them out on their wicked and heartless attitude. And I am prepared to seek redress in every legal way possible.

After a two-hour showdown with airline bosses, British Airways has sacked Joanne Wickenden, the hostess who made some racist comments about Nigerians on Friday night.

In a video which went viral, Wickenden was heard making demeaning comments targeted at Nigerian passengers on the Abuja bound flight.

The video was reportedly circulated among the “concerned” passengers, while the incident was reported to the airline, which promised to act on it. In a statement on Tuesday, British Airways said Wickenden no longer works with the airline.

“She no longer works for British Airways. We expect the utmost professionalism from our staff when they are representing British Airways,” the statement read. MailOnline reported that Wickenden, who wants to be an actress, told her friends that she is not a racist.

“I am not a racist,” she said, claiming that the video was just “a joke.” “I have been framed by another British Airline employee. They were encouraging me, egging me on to say things.” “They were recording me and sent it around to our friends,” she said. Adding that she doesn’t want to fly anymore.

Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother has called on the Nigerian Army to release the corpse of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, his elder brother if they have killed him.

The younger Kanu had an interview today where he said that since the September 14th “invasion” of his brother’s home by military officers, no one knows the whereabouts of his brother, Nnamdi as well as their parents.

He called on the international community to help in calling on the Federal government to release his brother dead or alive.

“It is either they, that is the soldiers, captured him or killed him when they attacked our house. If they captured him, they should release him to the police, and if they have killed him, they should produce the corpse because he was last seen moments before the raid,” he said.
