An accident victim, Michael Irabor, is seeking financial assistance from Nigerians to raise the sum of three million naira for a replacement surgery on his hip.

Irabor, a Mass Communication graduate of  the Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, was knocked down by a motorcyclist at Bwari area of Abuja in 2011.

Although he was initially treated at a hospital in the FCT, he experienced excruciating pains upon his return to Lagos.

He said: โ€œMy story began on April 14, 2011 in Abuja, shortly after I rounded off my Ordinary National Diploma in Mass Communication. I had a motorcycle accident at Bwari area of the capital territory.

โ€œAfter a casual treatment in Abuja, I proceeded to Lagos to begin my industrial training. It was while in Lagos that I started experiencing excruciating pains. The following year, I noticed that a bone was pulling out of my hips.

โ€œSo I went to a doctor friend who first told me that I was suffering from acute rheumatism. Consequently, I was advised to exercise regularly, that with time, the pain  would disappear.

โ€œBut by 2014, the pain had become severe and unbearable and the same doctor repeated what he had told me before.

โ€œHowever, it turned out to be a wrong diagnosis. I managed the condition until 2016.

โ€œBut with the detachment of the  bone from the normal position to my buttocks, I returned to the hospital where it was revealed that I had  Vascular Disorder.โ€

The condition makes walking difficult for him.

A medical report from Cedacrest Hospital, Lagos, says he requires  N3million  for a total hip replacement surgery.

Donations can be forwarded to a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) Account Number 0176663635, with the name Micheal Irabor.
