TRAGIC EVENT I WILL NEVER FORGET
One event I will never forget
On 5 June 2022, a mass shooting and bomb attack occurred at a Catholic church in the city of Owo in Ondo State, Nigeria. At least 40 people were killed.
As at the time this shocking even happened I remembered I was battling with a lot of issues that had to do with my mental health, it became more like I was facing trauma due to the hardship and conditions life placed me at that moment.
Having a lot about myslef to worry about, whenever I am having less work to do I have a particular location close to my house where I would go and spend the little time I have thinking about my life and also the conditions life has put me, then it came one faithful Sunday after the normal Sunday church service and everyone was back home to carry on with their normal activities.
I remembered vividly it was a very stressful Sunday for me because in the morning before going to church I have to wake up earlier before everyone in the house does so I can wash the dishes and do all the house cleaning so I can bit the time for church, and after coming back I have to continue from where I have stopped to finish up every other work that was in and around the house, after I was done and very exhausted I decided slip out of the house so I can have a little time to rest, on getting to my home friends house which used to be my resting stop I got to meet some few people outside just talking and having some wired conversation.
On reaching the house I found more people around, talking about, almost same thing I over heard the other first set of people I came across on the way talking, then I decided to pay little attention so I can really know what is it everyone is talking about and why they all looked shocked and dried up, I got to discover they were having a conversation concerning the attacks of the Fulani herdsmen which I was thinking it should be the regular kind of attacks they normally engage on in some few communities around the northern side of my country Nigeria, not knowing that the story this time had difference.
Coping with the fact I was feeling really stressed out I got to hear the shocking news that the herdsmen had attacked a certain church around the western side of the country, on that same Sunday morning, with bombs and also shooting the masses who attended the Sunday service that morning which claimed the lives of over 40 people, the information I got to hear really broke me and I was devastated.
After hearing the sad news, i was clueless and couldn't figure out what dimension to really follow anymore, and so the news keep spreading and the whole Internet was on flames due to the situation in the country, then someone brought out some of the video tapes they got from the happening stop of the event, then I saw how people were brutally murdered from mothers to their kids and all other people who were present in the church as at the attack.
The situation added up more stress to my mental health, I didn't know what step to take about life anymore, my spirit was really moved by hearing and watching that news to the extend I made a song here on Hive talking about the situation tittled "Everything has gone bad" you can as well watch the video using the link below to confirm my story.
