After six months? No. You know what? I know. I will give you the money. I

promise you. It's because I've been paying for my son's medical bill.

So because I'm paying your son's medical bill, me, I should be hungry in my

house? No, that's not what I'm saying. Or I should die in my house of hunger?

That's not what I'm saying. Please.

Oh, what? Shut up. Have mercy on me. Take your time. Have mercy on me. I am

not God that will have mercy.

Shut it here.

Go and find mercy somewhere else. Sir, please. Have mercy on me. I'm begging

you. Sir, please.

I'm a single mother, you know. It's only me. I'm a single father. Say you see

wife in the house.

I beg you, sir. Please, I beg you.

I say go home.

Go home.

I don't want to go. You go? I don't want to go. You will go? I don't have

anywhere to go to, please.

Where's my home?

Sir, please, I beg you.

Hello?

Doctor?

Yes, you are not graceful.

Please, please, I'm begging you. I'm begging you. Just listen to me. Doctor,

please, please, please. Listen to me. Please, I beg you. Please, just listen

to what I have to say. You are causing a sin here. Doctor, I'm begging you.

Listen to what I have to say. Please, please. Please, you can't do this. My

son, please, I beg you. Doctor, listen to me. Listen to me, please.

Please.

Don't take the mention of my son. He's going to die. I beg you in the name of

God. I don't want my son to die.

I don't want him to die. Please. I will get the money and I'll bring it to you.

I'll bring it to you. Please. I don't want my son to die. Please.

Okay. Miss Ibenabo.

Yes.

First, you are causing us in here. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This is a hospital. We have people here. You

can't. I know. I know.

This is not appropriate.

Okay. Okay.

Secondly, and most importantly, You will agree with me that we have been helping.

Yes, yes, I know. I know.

I know.

This hospital has covered some of his bills.

I know. You agree?

I know. I know.

I know.

Please.

I'm asking that you understand.

We cannot continue to cover his bills. This is a private hospital.

Keeping him on that machine and Estra weak would be this hospital covering a

lot of bills. It's not in our place to do so, please.

I understand.

And I'm grateful.

God will bless you. God will bless you. But if you take that machine off my son,

he will die.

Please, I beg you. I don't want my son to die. Please. I will go and bring the

money. I will go and I will get the money and I will bring it back to you.

Please.

You know that I empathize with you. I know. You have done everything that a

mother would do. He's my son.

I will keep on trying.

For how long you have?

Yes, I know.

I know.

And I will keep on trying.

You have tried. You have tried.

But at this point, I suggest you let him go.

Don't you dare say that to me!

Don't you dare say it!

My son deserves to live!

He deserves to live like you! Like you! My son deserves to live! What is your

problem? You see me now, Bob?

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

My son deserves to live!

He deserves to live!

My son is going to...

I beg you. I will get the money. I beg you. I'm sorry.

I don't have anybody.

I don't have any father.

I don't have any mother. Please, it's just my son.

I don't have any brother or sister.

I beg you.

I will go and get the money for you. Please.

I'm so sorry. I'm going to greet them when I'm coming.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm looking for something. Yes, I'm looking for someone.

Wait, I know you now. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Yeah, yeah, because me and you, what are you doing? You gave me your card.

Binabo, right? Yes, sir. I was like, my face cannot deceive me. So what are you

doing here? What's wrong?

You cannot cry here, okay?

What's wrong with you now? Come.

What's making you cry? You're all angry like you. Just go and sit down. Have

your seat.

Okay, sir.

Close your eyes.

You're crying like this. What's wrong? Tell me.

Sir. I am not sir.

Call me Scott.

Just talk.

My son.

You have a son?

Yes, sir.

You really have a son?

Yes, sir.

He's six years old and I'm his single mother.

Last year he fell sick and then we found out that he had CHD,

congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy.

Two very bad heart defects.

That's serious.

And it was too late.

It's my fault that I found out too late and his kidney and liver were already

shutting down.

Relax, okay?

So what's going to happen now? So he fell into coma.

I've spent all I have in keeping him alive until his surgery.

Relax. Is he dead?

God forbid his surgery.

He's alive now and he will not die in Jesus' name, okay?

But the hospital said...

See, as a matter of fact, just last week, a woman was here. She said her

husband died.

I personally foot the bill for the funeral.

So what's making you cry? At least your son is still alive.

So how much do you even need? Do you need up to...

$100,000.

Okay. So why are you crying?

Eh?

It's just a call. I can, you know, just call them and everything will be

resolved. Okay? Thank you. So I want you to relax yourself.

Okay. But then, I need your help.

What kind of life

is this?

Where every road leads back to pain I've carried yesterday

And somehow lost tomorrow I've

smiled when I was breaking I've stood when I was weak

The darkness takes it away

If there is a mercy somewhere.

Yes, please.

Come in.

Oh.

Miss Benson, please sit. Okay.

Yes.

I'm back. Yes.

Thank you. Thank you so much for not taking the measures off my son. Thank

you. God bless you. Thank you.

It's fine.

Okay. I wish there was more that I could do. Okay.

Honestly.

I'm sorry.

Really sorry for what I said earlier. That statement was wrong.

It was absolutely wrong to ask you to let him go.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You've done more than enough. You're a good man.

I understand.

It's okay. And thank you so much.

I just made payment for one week.

Oh, that's good. Yes. Yes. Very good. Yes.

Please. Can I go and see my boy? My son.

I'll take your time.

Please.

God, please.

My child, I'm going to do

everything it takes for you to look at me again

and call me mommy.

Every time, every time your son is in ICD. Say it is only your son that is

sick. Say it is cancer your son has.

No, sir. So if your son does not have cancer, why is he in the hospital every

time, every time? Goa, you don't have my rent. You don't have to come to my

house. I don't want to see you again.

Thank you.

Let me go inside and have mercy on me. Go inside and do what? For the sake of

my son. No, no, no. Listen.

The way you are begging about.

Right now, God is angry.

And he wants to call you to him so that you can rest in heaven.

If this is your begging, beg him. No, sir, I'm begging.

Daddy said ask him for mercy. I will beg you.

Don't let me see you here again, no.

Don't let me see you here again.

You are needing that. You think you are the only one that can need that? I'm

begging you. Me too, I'm begging you.

You are being my money.

Bye-bye.

Daddy. Daddy, daddy.

I'm begging you, sir. Please, I'm begging you. You have original China.

You don't know what to use it for.

Even in the hospital, you cannot do it for a doctor.

Why come here to beg me for a house?

I don't do your type of

work.

Nobody knows the story.

Nobody knows the road.

I have bruises on my pocket.

I have fire in my chest.

Even when the road is rough, I believe I'll do my best.

One day, one day, I'll go see better days.

One day, one day, I'll go smile without pain.

One day,

one day,

all the struggle will pay.

One day, one day, I'll go dangle for today.

Sometimes I feel like stopping Sometimes I want to run

Sometimes I ask myself Will

The

stories

about the city were like fairy

tales to him.

He started dreaming of the day he would travel to Potakot with his mother.

Zito was excited.

Uncle Prie needs to hear this. He said he ran to see his uncle.

Prie was Zito's mother's brother.

And that was why he was the uncle to Zito.

Priya was very close to Zito.

He was always telling him folk tales about

the tortoise, about fairies,

but he had never heard about Patakot.

Zito ran to Uncle Priya's house and met him sitting in front of their house.

Uncle, uncle, I'll be traveling to Botakos with mom very soon.

He said, that's interesting.

It's a beautiful place.

He said,

what haven't you told me about the place?

He asked his uncle.

I've only heard stories about the city, but I've never been there, replied

Priya.

I want to tell you what have you heard about the garden city, said Zito.

Yes, come in.

Good day. Miss Benson.

Yes.

Listen.

Sit.

I know that sound.

The time I paid for has elapsed.

We found a donor for your son.

In India.

What?

Yes.

so your son can have his surgery now.

Oh God!

Oh God!

Okay, how much?

A lot of money, actually.

You know, I remember telling you to focus on keeping him alive until we were

able to find a donor.

And in that time, I have reached out to different NGOs.

and hoping that we are going to find a worthy benefactor, someone to cover the

cost.

But as we started... Is it Dr. Pini?

How much, please?

Ah.

$40,000.

Ah.

Yes. Ah.

So we're still making calls.

But still hopeful that we are going to find someone to help.

You know?

Okay.

What if I take out my heart?

Would it reduce the cost? What are you saying?

Miss Ibinabo?

If we do that, you will be dead.

It's okay. No, it's not.

Who then takes care of your boy?

I have relatives.

Relatives?

The relatives that never showed up here to contribute

since he's been here?

Those are the people you want to leave your boy for and be gone?

I don't think so.

What would you have me do?

Where would I get such money from?

Even if I sell my life, my whole existence, it will still not be worth

$40,000.

Where would I get it from?

Oh, God.

Okay.

Doctor.

I will get the money. Whatever it takes.

I will get it.

Even if it means me dining with the devil.

I will do it.

I will get the money.

Whatever it takes.

I will get it.

Even if it means me dying with the devil.

I will do it.

There are people walking through the crowd with a thousand wounds unseen.

They laugh with everyone around and they cry when they're lost.

Some dreams never find their morning.

Yes?

Yes,

good day. I'm looking for your madam.

My madam?

Yes. She's expecting you?

No, no, but just tell her it's Ibn Abok.

What do you call this again?

That is what everyone calls me now.

Sorry, flower. Look at you!

See what has become of the most beautiful girl we used to have in

school.

Soft or hard?

Your choice of drink, soft or hard?

I'm working.

You know what you said, said, said, said.

So you finally decided to stick me out, Sabi?

Yes.

Flower.

I really need your help.

I need a job.

Anything. I will do anything. Please. I need to save my son. I beg you.

Sorry.

Thank God that you have finally gotten back to your senses.

Yes.

I want you to teach me how to fish.

Please.

Are you ready to learn how to fish?

Yes. Do you want to know how to fish?

Yes. Are you ready?

Yes.

Ibinabo.

I'll teach you how to fish.

Thank you.

Flower says you're a good driver.

Yes, sir. I drive very well, sir.

I started driving at 16.

I was even a bus driver.

Hmm.

Our former driver made a mistake on a mission and was killed.

We are mourning him while looking for another driver.

Honest job is the biggest.

we've ever done.

The driver is the core part of this organization.

Not knowing when to move could jeopardize the whole mission.

I understand.

If you know you are not ready, you can walk away now.

I'm ready, sir.

Whatever it takes, I'm ready.

Okay, you can go outside for now.

Boss, I don't believe that girl.

I mean, we can't trust our lives and that of our mission to the hands of a

lady. Ah, wait, wait, wait.

In the hands of a lady?

And what is wrong with being a lady?

Am I not a woman? Don't I have more balls than you?

Boss. Enough.

Boss.

We can't just believe her words because she says she is a good driver.

Where is the evidence?

I drove with her here for hours.

I even took her to the training site. Is that our permission?

Oh, I needed only Biggie's permission and he consented to it.

Yes, I did.

Oh, wow.

Boys. Boys, look.

I know we all have our differences.

But this group is important to me too. We're a family and... Listen, I will not

intentionally put any one of us in harm's way.

That girl is a good driver. And she can drive us out of anything.

She's the right driver for this group.

Oh boy.

You know what?

You are in.

Thank you. You're in.

Thank you.

Let's go.

The

information

I have says you'll be arriving to Contra at 7pm tomorrow night.

You will drive straight to a meeting.

There he will receive a payment of half a billion Naira.

He won't be able to take it to the bank.

We'll drive straight to his safe house.

He will have four security operatives.

Nothing we can't do.

Your job is to remove us safely from that environment once we have the money.

Yes, sir.

The rest of you...

You know exactly what to do. Yes, boss.

May God guide and protect us all on this mission.

Amen. And when we return, you will give him praises and thanks.

Amen. Amen.

Holy Moses.

Come on.

Don't go up again. Come on.

What the fuck?! Bravo! Charlie! Blanca! Roja!

Take him to anywhere you want to take him to. Flying everywhere.

Anywhere at all. I have the money. Let's save myself. Please.

Please. I have the money. I see that you're hurt.

I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I have the money here. Let's go.

Let's go and save myself.

Please. We're lost.

We lost him about 15 minutes ago.

Dr. Kenne, you're stepping out.

Yes, nurse.

I need to get to the police station.

The police station? Yes. I believe that there's a mistake somewhere. These

people must set Ibinabo free.

I need to get there and speak with the DPO.

Dr. Kenne, I know you care about Ibinabo, but I sincerely think that this

case is bigger than you.

I'll speak with you later.

What is your name?

Madam, what's your name?

You know, refusing to answer my questions only makes your

situation worse.

I don't think you understand the kind of mess you're in. So let me break it down

for you.

You robbed the house of Engineer Mahmood, a top government official.

Your gang murdered his wife.

You're the last one standing.

That means you get to bear the brunt of the full weight of the law. Do you

understand?

My son.

I need to go and see my son at the hospital.

Yes.

Look, madam, I think you need to focus on the mess you're in here.

For your information, you're going to prison for a very long time.

Now, if you begin to cooperate with me and you can share useful information

like your name and the names of your gang members, I'm sure we can begin from

there. Or would you want to stay away from this song for a very long time?

Would you?

No. Good.

Now, what is your name and the names of your gang members?

My son.

I need to go to the hospital to see my boy.

Sir. What's the update so far?

Honestly, sir, I think she's lost her mind.

She won't answer any of my questions and she just keeps talking to herself,

saying she wants to go to the hospital to go visit her son.

And you do not think she's pretending, do you?

Look, how do criminals move like this?

True, sir, but can I be honest, sir?

Of course.

Sir, there's something really off about this lady.

I mean, I've examined this case and she doesn't come off as a criminal.

If anything, it's like a case of being at the wrong place at the right time.

But she drove the car and took the money.

True, sir. But she took the money directly to the hospital.

Well, that is very weird, and it leads me to this assumption that the only

reason she joined the gang was to take money and raise money for her son's

bills, to pay off his medical bills.

Engineer Mahmood wants her in court.

He wants her sentenced, and we have to give him that.

Yes, sir.

You have to know DPO.

Dr. Kenne, we spoke over the phone.

Oh, yes, oh, yes.

The pleasure is mine. Thank you very much, DPO.

Please sit. Thank you very much.

Doctor, this is Detective Francis, the detective in charge of Ibinabo's case.

Dr. Kena. Nice to meet you, Detective. The pleasure is all mine.

Thank you. I was actually going to come to your office after my meeting with my

DPO to discuss a few things about this case.

Well then, you're in luck.

I'm here in your office and willing to take... as long as it helps Ibn Abu's

case. Also, also. So, can I get started?

Oh, yes, please.

Okay.

Dr. Kenan, what can you tell me about Ibn Abu and her son?

Her late son, Ibn.

Late son?

Yes.

He died last night.

15 minutes.

before she walked in with a bag of money.

Of course, she was arrested afterwards.

Ms. Ibinabo Benson had a six-year-old boy who had a very severe

heart defect and needed urgent surgery.

At first, he was taken to our affiliate hospital.

After a couple of weeks, he was referred to me because I'm a cardiologist.

While he was with us, he went into coma.

And to keep him alive, we kept him in the ICU.

And in that time, he'd been up a Benson, toiled day

and night to keep that boy alive.

I saw her suffer.

She sacrificed so much.

She starved so that he would leave.

At some point I had to offer help from my personal pocket, because I am human.

But there is only so much I can do, given that I have my own problems too.

I can tell you this for free, DPO.

There are times when I give Ibinabo money to eat.

Oh yes, it was that bad.

Ibinabo worked.

She worked very hard.

She took all kinds of jobs just to earn money, and everything she earned went

into paying her son's hospital bill. Ibinabo Benson.

is a mother who would do anything to keep her boy alive.

And I believe that is what has dragged her into this mess.

Desperation.

Desperation to keep her boy alive.

All she wanted to do was to save her life.

I remember the day she walked into my office and I told her that

a donor has been found in India, and that the surgery can now be performed as

soon as the money is available. And she looked me dead in the eyes and told me

that she was going to do anything, anything at

all, to ensure that she raises the money for the surgery, even if it meant her

dining with the devil.

Ibn Abba Benson is not a criminal.

Ibn Abba Benson is not a murderer.

Ibn Abba Benson is a victim of circumstance, a woman, a mother,

trying to save her son's life.

But doctor, someone died during that mission.

Engineer Mahmoud's wife.

Did she kill her?

Did this death come from Ebina Boy's hands?

That is not how the law works, Dr. Kenna.

She was placed at the crime scene.

Ebina Boy is an accomplice. Are you... Have you two been listening to what I am

saying? I am saying that she did what she did because she was trying to save

her son's life.

Ms. Benson would never have done this if she had anyone to help her.

You cannot send her to prison.

She is the victim.

Let the law take its course.

Thank you for the information, Dr. Kim.

It was helpful.

What are you doing here?

You left my son at the hospital.

Are you not supposed to be at the hospital?

How is my son?

Is the surgery done?

I know he misses me.

Tell him that I'll come see him, okay?

Okay.

Your son is dead.

Ibn Abba.

He's no longer alive.

What are you saying?

I gave you the money you needed.

Right? I gave you the money. What are you saying?

Ibn Abba is gone.

He's no longer with us. Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop saying that.

Stop it.

My son is alive.

Stop. I hate to see you like this.

It hurts me to see you like this.

But the truth is that your boy is no longer... Stop it!

My son is not dead. He's not dead.

He's alive.

He's not dead.

He's not dead.

You've been a boy.

You've been a boy. Please.

Please.

I need you to come to terms with reality.

Your boy is no longer with us. Do you understand?

He's not dead.

He's alive.

I gave you the money.

All you had to do was to save him. He's not dead. I need you

to snap back to reality.

So much is happening presently.

I need you to come to terms with reality so that you can tell these people your

truth.

So that they can let you go.

I am

here

because I am on your side.

I am here because

I want to help you.

But you need to help me too, please.

Come to terms with reality.

And I had to do what I had to do to save my son.

Knowing all that you know now, would you say that you regret doing what you did?

No.

I don't regret it I wanted my son to leave

and if I had to do it again I would do it

I grew up on the streets

and I was raped

but I thought that God had

I finally brought someone that would be by my side.

So I decided to keep him.

Detective, you have no idea what I've been through in

life.

The kind of jobs I had to do to clothe us, to

feed us.

To house us.

I've been through so much in life.

Sometimes I feel like I am cursed.

Because nothing ever works out for me.

I was done.

I was tired of being used.

And abused.

And raped.

I was tired of being at the mercy of others.

So I decided to do it. To save the life of my son.

I have no regrets.

Because if I had to do it again.

I would do it.

My only regrets are the lives lost.

They told me that no one would care less.

Little song you used to sing when you were happy

You were the arms I ran to when

I was hurting Now I'm hurting And

you're the one who's gone Maybe home

was never a place Maybe home was all

I went into Zito's room, very unloving, to console him.

Zito was already awake.

but still lying on the bed when God regained it.

Good morning, Daddy, said Zito. Good morning, good morning, Daddy.

You were not happy when you came back home yesterday.

What happened?

And Zito said, I realized that I have allowed our internal family problems

to affect me and the people, especially the absence of me.

You seem a loser.

Hello everyone.

My name is Dr.

Kenechukwu Ezeke.

I am a cardiologist at Everest Hospital.

I do not know if anyone would see this video, as I have a very small following

on this platform.

I feel a very strong nudge in my heart to make the video still.

I was a doctor to a six-year-old boy with a very severe

heart condition.

I needed urgent transplant.

His mother, a single mother, a very poor,

first-hand they witnessed how she suffered to pay his

bills, the sacrifices she made, and the

sacrifices that she continued to make and was willing to

make as long as her boy stayed alive.

If she could give herself just so that her boy would live,

she would have done it.

But this woman made a very, very terrible mistake.

She joined a gang of criminals as a getaway driver.

because she needed to raise money for her son's surgery.

The operation failed.

Her life was lost.

Other gang members were also killed except

this woman who managed to drive off with a bag of money and straight

to the hospital.

to save her son's life.

This woman is Ebina Bobenz and

she is about to be sentenced

to prison.

I do not know why I am making this video.

as my mind is currently blank.

But I also know that this video can cost me my career, but I want

people to see this video still, to learn.

I hope.

I hope that Ibn Abba Benson will walk free.

But I also hear that law must run its full course.

Ibn Abba Benson has suffered.

Ibn Abba Benson needs help.

Ibinabo Benson needs your help.

Ibinabo Benson needs my help.

Ibinabo Benson needs our help.

that you see this video i hope that you

share this video i hope

that her story touches you

and i hope that we all still have a heart

This is the breaking news.

My name remains Celia Benjamin.

A cardiologist, Dr. Kenechukwu of Everett Hospital, has called for the

release of a single mother named Ibinabo Benson, who joined a criminal gang to

raise money for her son's heart transplant, resulting in the premature

death of Engineer Mahmood's lovely wife.

Authorities say the investigation is still ongoing.

like x instagram and facebook some citizens wonder is her silence an

indication of her guilt innocence Or maybe something deeper.

Stay tuned as we follow this investigation as

it continues.

That's the reason for this public outcry. Oh, yes.

I mean, she had to join the gang of criminals just to save her son. To save

her son.

You know, because of the heart transplant that her son needs. Yes.

I don't know what you think about it, but honestly, I don't think there's any

justification for a crime.

A crime is a crime.

Well, easy for you to say.

Oh. You're not a woman.

Do you know what it takes to carry a child and birth the

child?

And then you have to watch that child go through pain?

It's devastating.

It's heartbreaking.

And I tell you this, I tell you, 90% of mothers, they would do

anything, absolutely anything,

to save their child's life.

Including a crime?

Including a crime.

Maybe she will kill them.

Why would she kill them?

My dear, my dear.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No,

they get it. No, they get it.

No, they get it. No, they get

it.

I plead with the government.

Please.

Temper justice with mercy.

This woman doesn't need to be sent to prison. She needs help. Help her.

Please.

Madam, you know what I'm saying? Sorry, I've been watching you on the internet

while I'm away picking.

I've been watching you before.

Hey, sorry, sir. Don't go far. Now, me and my husband, we don't discuss the

matter. How do you discuss the matter, ma'am?

Hey, this world, like, unpredictable.

Can you imagine?

Innocent woman.

In fact, when they meet that real thief now, they will do nothing about that.

You see this woman?

If she ask them money, they don't go give. Now the woman, now to just help

him picking life, go take that money.

Can you imagine?

They pick and die. They still get mind.

Does it make any sense? It don't make any sense. I don't vex. I don't so much.

I don't vex. We don't go great. I think you go great. We don't go great.

Sir,

please. What is your relationship with Ibinabo Benson?

I thought she was pretending.

I didn't know she was going through something that difficult.

She will call me and beg and beg and beg. I will chase her away.

I didn't know she was going through something that difficult.

I treated her bad.

As a landlord and an elderly man, I treated her bad.

If you can hear me, please forgive me.

If you don't go to prison.

You are free to come again.

You have a room here forever.

I will clean it. I will paint it.

I will even put bed in that room with my body.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We can all hear from the man.

He really regrets what he has done to Ibenabu Benson.

And I believe this will be a lesson to everybody.

You don't have to judge anybody.

You don't have to treat anybody bad because of what they are going through.

Dibio, why are you people dragging your leg on the floor?

That woman is not yet in court.

Why has she not been detained as sentenced?

Engineer, please, you need to calm down.

We are still trying to get a court date.

So, you want me to calm down?

I am sick and tired of these excuses.

I want that woman in court and sentenced.

I can't kick my wife.

She has to face the law.

Can I do that?

Case number one, Tate against Ibn Abubensin.

Are parties present?

Yes, my lord.

A.O. Adib Anja, prosecuting counsel, my lord.

V.N. Umadike, appearance for the defendants, my lord.

Free Ipinapa, we no go green

Can you please tell us the reason for this protest?

We are all gathered here as women.

Women who know what it takes to raise a child. And not just raise a child, raise

a child alone.

Ibinabo has been through a lot. And we will not stand back and watch injustice

meted to her. We have come out here as women to lend our voice and say, Free

Ibinabo! Free Ibinabo!

That is all we ask.

Free Ibinabo! Free! We don't agree! No!

We don't agree.

That is why we are here. Ibinabo must be released.

Why are they still holding her?

Why? She didn't kill the woman in question. She was just a driver.

And everything that she did, she did for her child. Yes!

Do you know the pain?

Do you know the pain of watching your child die?

Do you know?

And the government is sending her to prison.

Government should help.

They should help and empower Ibinaba.

Yes.

Don't you know her story? No.

Ibinaba was raped.

She was abused.

That woman was used in a demeaning way.

She went through all of that just for her child.

And now you want to send her to prison.

Everyone has their breaking points.

Every mother, their breaking point is watching their child die.

And she would do anything she has to do.

All we are asking is that the government should free Binabao.

You have heard what they said, all the women, what they are fighting for. We

are going to bring you as the update is coming out, one after the other.

Breaking news reaching us now is that humanity has won at last.

Miss Ibnabo Benson, the famous single strong mother that was willing to do

everything in her power, even sacrifice her life to save her child, has finally

been granted a noli prosikwa by the state.

Do you know what this means?

It means that she is free to walk.

It means that she's not going to prison anymore. And guys, I will tell you, I am

excited. I'm enlightened. I'm over the moon excited for this one.

You have no idea how good it feels to watch someone that has gone through hell

in life to finally being given a second chance to do it again, to be better.

And it gladdens my heart to tell you that currently we are at 50,000 US

dollars.

But this is all I asked for.

For people to show me a bit of kindness.

This was all I asked for when my boy was alive.

How would I bear the fact that the death of my son made

me rich?

No, you cannot think like that, Ibenaba. That is what it is. No, that is not what

it is.

Ibenaba, please.

You are still here. You are still alive.

I want you to have the courage to pick yourself up and carry on with your life.

It is hard, I know.

All right?

A lot of well-meaning Nigerians came together and

we created a small team, like a little committee, saddled with the

responsibility of looking into your welfare.

And so they are the ones who instructed me to have you stay, you know, in my

guest room until you are properly situated.

We're working on getting you a place. We're working on setting you up again.

But for now, feel free to stay here.

If there's anything at all you need, do not hesitate to let me know.

Okay? Okay.

You'll be fine.

Stop crying.

I'll just be in my room. I'm tired myself.

I need some rest.

If you need anything at all, just call out and I'll be down to assist you.

Thank you.

Stay well now.

Maybe I'll meet somebody who loves me without

regret but until that day comes I'll let myself

remember because pretending I don't miss you doesn't

make it hurt less Good day everyone

I see the light again

I

have cried my river dry

I have asked the heavens why

I have walked through lonely nights

With no one to hold me tight

But every scar upon my skin Is a story I

survived And though I lost what I love most

Something in me stayed alive

I thought my world was over I thought my song was

done But somewhere in the darkness I found a little sun

But tomorrow is still mine I will dance, I will sing I will breathe, I will live

After everything I've been through I still have love to give

Oh, I will rise

Yes, I will rise

Yes, I will rise

There were days I had no home.

There were nights I felt alone.

Every door was closing fast.

I kept praying I would last.

Life can break a heart so deep. Make you question why.
