#SaveMusibaudeen: What was, what is and what will be.

If you didn't know of the #SaveMusibaudeen campaign, I feel sad for you. If you knew and turned a blind eye, I weep for your heart. But if you knew of the campaign, let's share some of those moments once again.

Sometime in September, Abdus Salam(@abdorle) told us about #SaveMusibaudeen. The account balance was 140k, the final destination, 3 million. I remember Gooodman making the campaign Avatar. I remember TahirSam going round her neighbourhood, raising funds in the best way she could. I remember people sending money via Western Union in pounds, dollars. I remember students taking part of their allowances and donating to the cause. I remember @SannykayzTv leading a group of young people in different venues across Lagos to raise funds running into hundreds of thousands. I remember the endless DMs asking for account details and how Musibaudeen was doing. I remember reading Abusidiqu's blog, then Rinsola's with her powerful words. I remember Mubarak sneaking out of his office to attend to Musby's affairs. I remember Lita, Zahra, Tawfiqah, Fola, Segun Dada and Ayo, Topysken, Maryam (Yellow popo), Yadomah, Obis, Zibr, Optimistic Muhammad, Carlos, Hikmah. I remember people gathering not for any purpose but for the highest call a human can ever receive, a call to save another. I remember how ordinary human beings did extraordinary things, almost supernatural. I can't mention all your names. God has the list of names, and he will call you all, one by one in a place far better than you will ever imagine.

I remember receiving a call from Mr Remi Adeseun

"Remi: Hello?
Me: Hello.
Remi: this is Remi Adeseun.
Me: Good morning sir
Remi: How much is remaining?
Me: 250K sir
Remi: Okay, I'll send someone to pay it when I get to the office."

The rest is just me grinning from ear to ear and jumping like I made it to Frank's hot seat.

A week before Musby travelled for his surgery, he was diagnosed of hernia. 3 other children died while he was in that ward, he lived. When he made it to India and the surgery was finally done, he was awake in less than 24 hours. Record time.

Right now, he jumps and plays so much, someone has to watch him everytime. He eats well, plays well, chops knuckle well, lives well. God used you to give him that. He will grow up to know about you. You are the real human beings.

As if that wasn't enough, Musby's parents insist that the money remaining after the surgery be spent on other charities. They insisted even after persuasion. Remember, they live in one room. Right now, they have given out 300K to in charities as regards health issues including Funke Badru #SaveFunkeBadru.

I have never been more hopeful for Nigeria, for humanity. Never.

I love 'Oliyu'!

For Funke

Peace be unto everybody reading this. I hope it meets you well.

Like always, your opening this link means you the light of the love of humanity is shining in your heart. Without wasting much of your precious time, let's meet Funke.

Funke Badru is a 21 year old ex student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic. Sometime in july, 2011, she was diagnosed in the University College hospital of having a tumour disturbing the function of the eyes causing symptoms like double vision. She was placed on drugs for a few weeks and on september 3rd 2011, she was rushed to the hospital. On september 11, she was rolled in for surgery, her first surgery. That would have been the end of it, but one Doctor Akinbo made a wrong cut. Her consultant, Professor Malomo recommended another surgery, but for fear that it might not be a success, she declined. She remained in the hospital for about three months where her condition got worse and she was rolled in again on November 10. Because of the delay, infection had set in and a skull x-ray revealed that some bones in her head were now infected. At this stage, the wound had started to emit a discharge with pungent odour.

The doctors then detected that there was still a tumour close to the brain and for fear of risk, she was referred to Eko Hospital, Ikeja for radiotherapy (the equipment in UCH were faulty at the time). She spent another 3 months there. This whole process has gulped about 3.5 million naira raised mostly from family and friends.

Now, she requires TWO MILLION for final treatment which would include removal of the tumour and Cosmetic surgery to fix the bone problem.

She has dropped out of school due to this illness. She sought financial aid from the Ogun State government where she resides. No response. She also wrote to the Ogun state Ministry of Health, no response and no willingness to help.

Now, its up to us. Forget about the government, she needs your help. Before you pray that God provides for her, I have news for you. THE GOOD NEWS is that God has provided. THE BAD NEWS is that the money is still in your pockets. She has lost hope in the Government, but she hasn't lost hope in you.

The bible speaks to you,

"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed."

Proverbs 14:21

The Qur'an is calling you to righteousness when it says,

"You cannot attain to righteousness unless you spend (in charity) out of what you love"- Imran: 92

This is the highest call a human can receive, a call to save another human. Please tell your friends, family to benefit from this opportunity to save a human being.

There is no loss in charity. DO something.
