With deep pains (and tears in my eyes), I am sorry to inform You that yesterday morning, one of my dear friend's elder son (Mr. Osita joseph), age 19, studying in 1st year of engineering, died in St Raphael Hospital, Obosi. He was admitted in St Raphael Hospital as burned patient.
Reason
4 days back this boy had gone to Nnewi (One of the city place located in State of Anambra) on study tour. After their study was over, he,his friends, all of them were standing on "okpunoeze busstop" to catch a bus.
As soon as they arrived on okpunoeze bus stop, many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile Phones" and/or "Digital Camera". One of them complained that, in his camera, he was not able to capture more number of friends in one frame. He was not able to catch the angle. Another boy suggested that let's climb on at the back of the bus and take picture so that all of them can be accommodated in single frame.
At that there was one goods wagon bus resting between 2 main roads.
Osita joe climbed up oil boogie. Above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through. As soon as he clicked the digital camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and then from his fingers to his body. All this happened within fraction of minutes. Next moment he was thrown from the top. His body was half burned on the spot.
At that time, his father (my friend) was traveling in lagos.. His many friends in Nnewi came to know about this via mobile SMS. They instantly arranged ambulance in okpuno and his burned body was brought to St Raphael Hospital,Obosi. I was told that this is the best hospital in Obosi. For 1 and 1/2 day or so he was talking to his relatives. When he was admitted to the hospital, at that time only, doctor informed his relatives that don't keep great hopes. Because of lot of complex issues in half burned body? He died yesterday morning. Now how many of us are aware about this
technological threats & dangers? Honestly, osita joe and his father was not aware. His family was
not aware.. Our entire friend circle of more than
12,000, we were not aware. Now should we call
ourselves as fully educated and fully knowledgeable
people? Think of it. Please avoid mobile phones on
petrol outlets. Please avoid talking on mobile phones
while driving. I also know many of my friends who do
not bother about this good suggestion and each one
of them have opted for "I don't care Attitude".
Please avoid talking on mobile phones while they are
in charging mode. Avoid charging mobile phones
near Your bed and/or near wooden furniture. Avoid
mobile phones near high voltage electrical lines like
railway stations and use flash lights. My friend, his
family members and we all friends learned our lesson
with loss of young life. Now Would You like to
empower Your friends about this accident so as to
avoid future accidents? We can save human life by
sending this information to everyone.
