A young Nigerian Amputated man who lost his right leg in an accident cries for help.

A young Nigerian who feels he cannot allow his disability to stop him from being useful to himself has cried out to public spirited Nigerians for financial assistance to buy a prosthetic (artificial leg) which will cost about 2.5 Million Naira.

Speaking to The Helen Media, He said;

“My Name is Ibunkun Bankole, I reside in Lagos Nigeria, am 41 years old, I was working in a tax and consulting firm, but I stopped because I had accident while I was trying to cross the highway, a tipper ( truck) hit me on the 23rd of September 2017, so I was taken to about 4 different private hospitals but I was rejected simply because the accident was severe and general hospitals were on strike too, however, after much effort to get hospital that can admit me i got in a private hospital that finally accepted me, I was hospitalized for 3months, the left leg has surgical plates and screws to hold the bone, and the right leg was amputated, in 2018 I came back home because the bills for hospital bed daily was something I could not afford anymore, during that period my mum died because she developed high blood pressure due to my condition and while I was at home the leg got infected again I treated it at home till April 2020! So right now I need help so that I can buy a prosthetic ( artificial leg) which costs about 2.5million naira! Whatever people can assist me with, I will appreciate so that I can be able to buy the prosthetic and get back on my feet ! We rise by lifting others.
