I was a victim! But not by my making but by circumstance!!
Living in a world filled with greed.
Why will you make money while I suffer 3rd degree
burns?
Hey let me ask you why will you use a tanker you used for
fuel to get a refill of kerosene?
Why will you come to the refilling station and you are told
to turn off your car you will leave it on because your air conditioning system is
on and you can’t get yourself out of the car!
Why will you bike man know, that your fuel tank is not well
protected after you fell into the gutter the other day now its leaking but
still you manage it? Now your leaky bike is on and your buying fuel?
Do you know that those fuel pump attendants are someone’s
WIFE, DAUGHTER, WIFE, BROTHER, SON, FATHER, LOVER, ONLY CHILD etc.
They are beautiful in and out too!
Do you also know that they suffer burn out too?
Yeah I know that some of the readers of this post won’t like
to do such job because of the job risks,
Not only that they will not do the job because they can’t
stand on their feet from dusk till dawn,
lastly some cannot
because of how they perceive themselves in the society/social app sites just because
they are not mentally matured enough to face their class mates, peers and all
because they will mock them because they are now common PUMP attendant in a re-filling station, rather they stay home
jobless. What a world we live in.
Why am I writing this post?
When I had this accident it was said to be adulterated
kerosene some points I made above might have been the cause of it,
Using a petrol tanker to bring in kerosene, some said it’s
the use of con-descent I don’t know much about that,
But I can say it’s the power of GREED! In the bid to make
money off people they are sold lots of substandard things just to satisfy their
greed, build houses that at the end grasses will fill the whole compound, buy
cars that will still get outdated, here killing innocent pure souls.
Yea I know I bought that kerosene from you people back then
but life was still better than now a liter of fuel then was sold at 25 naira I
can still remember vividly.
Yes it changed me I know but I don’t think that owner of
that filling station is still alive now, I remember driving through that
filling station the other day I saw that it was filled with grasses damn then
why make innocent people die in a greed course that you will not even enjoy
here on earth because you will be cursed.
You know then I was in the hospital,
A lot of cases, critical ones all are all related to burns
and all are house hold burns adulterated kerosene and innocent people loose
there life’s every day, unimaginable the amount of money spent on burns it’s
too much am a witness, the pains the victim/patient would have to go through in
the hospital, the cries of the lovers, family, friends.
Not forgetting the life changing physical changing that
will occur and the ITCHING, yes I highlighted the itching because I wish you
can understand how burns itch I wish I can give you the reader a 4D simulation
of how it feels (if your body reacts to chroloqin, it’s like 4x or 5x of the
itching) and you can’t scratch it because the wound it’s still fresh once you
do it, you re-infect the wounds.
The stigmatization's that follows is out of this world,
especially to someone that is hyper active like I was then “I noticed they
weren’t coming closer so I started going closer to them to embrace them but
they ran out of me like damn I was alienated”.
