THE WOMAN
(Hon. Justice Monica Bolna’an Dongban-Mensem)

There is a saying that goes, “The only cure for grief is grieve” and people grieve in different ways as we would find out about the current President of the Nigerian Appeal Court in 2012.

#OdogwuTales Image
In 2011, Her Honorable Justice lost one of her sons in a hit and run incident.

Her 32yr old son, Kwapda’as Dongban-Mensem had just graduated with a Law degree from the University of Jos with dreams of being just like her mum.

He returned to the city of Jos to pick up his… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
It was a bad road that has claimed lives and no government has been able to fix it. Her son got hit by a motorist who fled after the incident.

He broke his two legs and was bleeding and no one came to help him. He groaned in pain and gave up the ghost in the pool of his own… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Knowing fully well that the don could have survived if only he was rushed to the hospital further broke her heart.

In her words, she said, "I gave up sleep, hoping that my son will walk through the door and give me a big hug.

"I also left a plate of food on the table hoping he… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
What did she do?
How did she decide to grieve?

She set up an NGO in her sons name, to educate motorists about safety and opened a driving school for potential commercial drivers where they can receive training FREE OF CHARGE!!!

A woman that lost her son doing this 😳😳😳😳… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
She went to motor parks to speak and educate commercial drivers on safe driving.

She also attended weeks of training at the Road Traffic Commission and qualified as a traffic warden.

She started directing traffic in her spare time just to help direct traffic and decongest the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
She didn’t stop there as she also pushed for a life imprisonment for hit and run drivers when caught and the families of those killed to get financial compensation.

She choose to grieve her grief by making sure other mothers don’t go through the hurt of losing their child to hit… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This goes to show the type of heart, the President of Nigerian Appeal Court has, she’s first a MOTHER and she showed it in her moment of grief.

We hope she will show that level of COMPASSION in making sure the RIGHT thing is done in the case of Nigeria.

May God Bless Her 🙏🙏🙏

- His father lost his job 3 months after he lost his wife

- He sold pure water on the streets of Lagos

- He was rejected by many clubs but today is one of BEST players in the world and it started with 15… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
He was barely 13 when he lost his mum and as if that wasn't enough, 3months after losing his mum,his father lost his job.

His father losing his job meant them moving from a 2 bedroom flat to a SELF CONTAIN, now imagine 8 people living in a self contain apartment.

A TOUGH START!
He was the last amongst 7 kids but he didn’t get the special treatment given to “Last Borns” in Nigerian homes.

He rather joined his elder siblings in hustling to make sure they survived, he hawked “Pure water” along Ojota road, Lagos State.

A BORN HUSTLER! Image

Isaiah Austin was not like any other kid, at the age of 12, he was already 6foot tall and was the star player of his school basketball team.
