We always pray for God to guide us and bring us home safely and sometimes unforeseen circumstances happen where we find ourselves in a critical condition. This am about to share in my diary is a man who usually help people to pack their vehicles when buying food stuff at the market. Sometimes, when parking the person compensate them with a little token which he use as his survival.

Before I got to know him, were enemy, we hate ourselves badly because of something forcing our customer to give him but when I realized his condition aand that the money he collected is what he use to survive, i began to see the bright side of him instead of the negative behavior. Everybody knows him with this funny name: "NO BE LIE" as he always use the slang all the time and he use to called me **CORRECT GUY. He made up the name because he knows that sometimes he did something that offend me but he'll come back and say, my guys no vex and then we laughed it out.

So just this week, I met him in the estate on my way home within our shop as I greeted him goodnight. In the morning, it was terrible experience seeing him sleeping under the tree outside the market helplessly with bandage round his head. At first I thought it's was a mad man, but when I take closer look, I realized it him and I confront him to know what's going on because i have never seen him in such condition. He explained he had accident the same night we met at the estate, he said he went to get food while he was knocked down by a car.

They were injury all over his face and body but the bandage round his head make me wonder about his condition because it's might turn to a critical state if not medical treated. So I told him to come and stay in my shop, I arrange some nylon on the floor for him to relaxed while calling our neighbors attention whether they can help. The person that hit him took him to the hospital that same night where they he was given some tablet only and left.

I called my friend t tell him the condition because my friend knows him very well. But when we ask him whether he has eaten and taken the drug, he said yes but my friend didn't believe him. Instead he use his money for food for the day to buy him jollof. I was impressed by his kindness. The guy ate the rice and then rest again. But I was still wondering, since he's the only one I know and his only survival is my packing vehicle, how is he going to survival now that he cannot even turn his neck? I reach out the one of his colleagues who also pack cars with him and that one told us that he knows his family so we need provision to take him to his family, not only that, to the hospital because he still needs medical treatment.

With my neighbors help they made any arrangements to take him to the hospital. I pray he recover soon. I always ask of him from the guy though he explained that he was rejected in 3 hospital before he was finally accepted in one hospital in ikeja. Life is unpredictable. Quick recovery to him.
