You know you are truly loved when someone is ready to go to
any length to save your life; even to the extent of losing his/her life. The story
you are about to read below, reminds me of the day I was stabbed in secondary
school, while trying to separate some guys that were fighting, and I almost fainted
because of bleeding.
For sure, my dear friends came to my rescue; especially a lady
called Ngozi, she did everything within her powers to save the situation. This incident
happened about 7 years ago…when men were boys…
Read the story as
reported by LIB after the cut…
According to Irish Mirror, a friend of Ricky's, a teenage
girl, got into the water and was almost drowning when Ricky and another female
friend jumped into the pond to try to save her. The other teen girl who jumped
in to help also now had difficulties in the pond, and it was up to Ricky to
save both girls. Which he did. Paramedics were called and all three teens were
taken to the hospital. The two girls survived, but Ricky died the next day.
Ricky Osagie was a teenage soccer sensation whose dream was
to represent Ireland, his distraught father, Kelly Osagie told the Sunday Irish
Mirror. He said Ricky was a hero because he knew he was risking his life when he
went into the water as he couldn’t swim.
"He
was trying to help someone else.That’s what happened. My son died a hero. He
went in and then that was it. My son is gone but a girl is alive because of
him. He always smiled and was happy all the time. He was such a fantastic
footballer. We have trophies everywhere in the house. Ricky was going to play
for Ireland, that’s what he said he was going to do. He had so many friends. He
is a hero, a real hero. I want the world to know what my son did. He was a man.”
He
really is a hero! Rest in peace 'lil man. Such a sad story!
This is really sacrificial..RIP Ricky
