A letter written to a hit-and-run driver by the brother of late Joseph Aidanemhen. So sad! Read below
I thought I should take a moment to let you know a little about the
'rising star' you brought to an abrupt end on Monday 27th October, 2014
at 1T4 junction, Ihumundumu road, Ekpoma. His names were Joseph Ighodalo Aidanemhen. He only just turned 20 earlier this year, and also
just got admitted to study English at Ambrose Alli University weeks
ago. He was the pride of everyone in my family, as he was the last-born
thereof. Joseph was an intelligent, ambitious, confident and loving brother, who doubles as a son.
A week or two ago when he got that
admission, we (including himself) were all excited and were doing
everything possible to give him a solid start, but today, it is a
different and opposite feeling altogether for everyone of us. He leaves
behind an aged father, mother and the rest of us, whom are struggling to
come to terms with his shocking demise. Do you know it was actually his
first day at school to perform his clearance that you gave him the
clearance of his life? Yea, it was. By the way, I learnt you were a
woman. So, I want to ask; Do you have a child(ren) you labored to bring
to life or plan having one? Do you have a loved one that you are ready
to go to any lenght for? Do you feel fulfilled knocking him down and
running away, leaving him to grow cold? I am not sure if the answers to
these questions will come to me directly, but I am certain they will
come to the Almighty Judge of All, The GOD of hosts!
Rgds
A soul in Pain"
RIP Joseph Aidanemhen..

ReplyDeleteWhat a touching letter
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace
And to the hit and run driver ur case dey baba God table idajo nla
As sad as this is and even sadder that it was a hit and run. Its like their son has passed but still they have no closure. But I will blame the hit and run on govt!! Who have not deem it fit to stamp out this craze of jungle justice. If the woman stopped chances are she will probably have been leached to death. Stop jungle justice let the law take its cause.
DeleteShe should have ran to the police station and return with some police men at least.
DeleteHeartless woman..how do u sleep @ night? RIP Joseph
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm..R.I.P..She will suffer.............................#KingOfKings #6ixGod

ReplyDeleteI'm sure the woman didn't drove out of her house that day planing to hit someone and run...She was probably scared...& also there are alot of angles to these things...But out of respect for the dead! Let's leave it.....RIP Bro!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how devastated the family must be but I urge them to take heart and forgive the driver. Like Anon 2.10 above said, she was prolly scared of reactions out of order by passers-by and/or the police. Please stay strong for your parents. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

So sorry for your loss . But do u know some people cause road accidents for themselves ??. Every day I go to work people crossing d road (when there is a pedestrian brigde at the side) cross anyhow nd confuse drivers. Its so scary , esp if its a major highway.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...sad
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteSo sad, RIP Joseph.
ReplyDeleteWOMEN drivers are the worst on the roads. They are so rough on the roads. They always 'fight' behind the wheels for right of way as if somebody wants to 'collect' the road from them or cheat them.

If you stopped to help him, you would be lynched. Sometimes mistakes happen. The worst thing is to show compassion and be mobbed by frustrated people.
ReplyDeleteTrue that

ReplyDeleteAwwww... Why would anyone do such a thing?
ReplyDeleteReally sad.
RIP
May his soul rest in peace. Amen

ReplyDeleteAm so sorry for your lost, I know how it feels losing a family member... the Lord is your strength and the hit and run lady that left him so cold, how did u sleep datz night? Or how have u bn sleeping?
ReplyDeleteBecause of the pain u have caused this family, May the soul of this young star u too away hunt u for the rest of your life and even when u seek help, they would never be a solution until u confess to the family because the boy isn't resting in peace and so would u before I won't right rip for on he's behalf.

ReplyDeleteSome human are so cruel,,sad...live On#GiftedDiva#

ReplyDeleteOh dear oh dear, this reckless driver won't go unpunished. R.I.P to the dead. This letter is sooooo deep.
ReplyDeleteRIP .. very sad
ReplyDeleteThis is sad but as I wasn't there, I can't judge. Even if the guy had been at fault by recklessly crossing, a mob might still have lynched the woman. What she should have done is called the police and gone back there.
ReplyDeleteSo touching , may his soul rest in perfect peace
ReplyDeleteAm not shocked it happened in Edo state. That state has lots of insane folks on the loose
ReplyDelete1T4 junction is a very sharp bend on that road in Ekpoma, any driver approaching it ought to slow down. RIP
ReplyDeletewhat a pity . RIP
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteRIP dear . is so touching,but d guy migt b at fault mayb he didn't watch b/4 crossing d road and d driver might run to save his/her self b/4 d mob wil eat his/her up. I m not ther wn it happend so I can t say much, joe family pls take hrt and excpt it as God 's wished. I lost mydear frnd chukwuemeka almost d same way,he is nice ,humble,intelligent ,caring ,kind,lov of evrybody in d family evn outside his envr ,church and in sch,abt to go youth service on oct /nov ,he died through dat furious accident. Wn we lost our dear ones in a callous way it hurt down d hrt. Esp d youth. I felt ur pains ,so take hrt .
ReplyDeleteCynchizmon
Rest in the arms of God young man. God Bless your soul. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI know of someone that stopped to help a person who was hit and left to die and got beaten to an inch of his life. What did he gain from being good? a broken rib. Nobody prays to be a victim of circumstance. This is Nigeria that will not even let good poeople be good. May God help us all thatw e do not find ourselves in unfortunate situations. RIP Joseph.
ReplyDeleteHe is my small uncle and I will always keep him close to my heart. He will never be forgotten. I miss you Joseph.!!!!
