A young Nigerian man has taken to social media to narrate how his life changed drastically after a robbery attack in 2022.

The man shared a video montage documenting the sad tale of his life, and disclosed that he lost his right eye and job after being attacked by armed robbers who raided his family house in March this year.

He said he spent all his savings trying to restore his eyesight, lost confidence in himself and started wearing a eye patch to cover his damaged eyes.

He, however, noted that he started rebuilding his confidence, started scouting for jobs and surrounded himself with his loved ones in order to uplift his spirit.

Speaking further, the young man said he has high hopes for 2023, and believes life will be better for him.

His words,

“The year started off really well. Not until 3rd of March. Armed robbers raided my family home. Leaving me with a damaged right eye and multiple injuries. That wasn’t all I lost that day. I lost my job, design gig, my little business, all my savings and confidence in myself.

“Visited so many hospitals in hopes to save my right eye. So I made the eye patch and that helped restore a bit of confidence cause everyone thought it was just fashion.

“Over time I didn’t feel like putting it on as I wanted to get used to not hiding behind the patch. Started building my confidence and reaching out to people in need of skill set so I could make money as getting a job was quite difficult. Surrounded myself with close friends and family. 2023 will be better.”

A Nigerian man has caused a stir after he took to social media to solicit funds for his upcoming wedding.

The man who’s set to tie the knot with his wife in March 2023 sent an email to a non-governmental organization, the Halal Foundation, asking for help from well-meaning Nigerians.

According to the groom-to-be, he lost his parents when he was still in secondary school, so he’s currently incapable of handling the cost of the wedding all by himself.

The man, from Katsina state, also listed in his letter all the items he’ll need for the wedding, with their prices in dollars.

The majority of the items on the list are clothes and accessories, which range from $50 to $100. He also included his house rent, which he stated is $250. 

The letter read in part,

“Request for Marriage Funding Assistance
I, Hassan, am writing to beg financial support for my upcoming marriage. My parents died when I was in Senior Secondary two, and I am a native of Katsina State, Nigeria, where I had my elementary and secondary education (2). Later, I went to Polytechnic and earned a diploma in Computer Science.

I put my complete mind and confidence on your side, knowing that by God’s grace, you will help me opt out of the crucial circumstance I find myself in with whatever you intend to provide me as my marriage will be done on March 3rd, 2023 by next year by God’s grace.

I would be quite grateful if you could support and assist me in carrying out my marriage without the need for a loan from a bank or making me feel concerned.”

Halal shared the letter on its Twitter page and wrote, “A brother emailed us that he needs your help for his marriage, which is coming soon.”

Honestly, if you need to crowd fund a wedding, maybe you shouldn't get married. Will you have to drop your account details on social media for every other thing like feeding, housing, child care etc

In other news, a Nigerian woman has shared the testimony of how her son miraculously escaped being burnt in a domestic accident.

The mother, identified as Catherine Nwafor, took to her Instagram page to express gratitude to God for saving her son’s life one year after the incident.

Sharing a CCTV footage that captured the incident and recent videos of her son, the woman recalled how she was frying fish in the kitchen and her toddler went into the kitchen when no one was there and attempted to pull down the frying pan.

After several attempts to pull down the frying pan with hot oil, he succeeded in dragging it down and the content spilt on the floor, but thankfully, an adult saw him in the nick of time and pulled him away.

Catherine, who is extremely thankful to God for overturning the outcome of the incident, said the angels of God took away what was supposed to cause her family pain.
