I am Babatunde Okunade a native of Isaga Orile, under
Abeokuta North Local Govt. Ogun State. A radio presenter and also a cricketer
with national repute who represented Ogun State with a lot of laurels. I had a
motor accident on 29th of August 2010, which involved my left arm. Since then
the arm was not okay for me to use, I started feeling more pain early this
year. I was given two options. 1). To
either travel abroad for better surgery or 2). My left arm amputated.
According to him, his association wrote a letter before now
to the State Government but got no reply. So he has decided to write a personal
one to the Gov. (Gov. Amosun), hoping he will get a reply, but they are yet to reply
him too. He won two Gold medals and one silver medal for Ogun State in National
Sports Festival from 1998-2002 and many more awards. And he is only asking for #1,749,025.00
for a surgery abroad. I saw this on another news platform but decided to bring
it here because I know someone will see it and inform him. I also spoke to Mr
Babatunde this morning and he is yet to hear from his Excellency. He said he
had a surgery in July in India, and they asked him to come back on the 26th
of October for the second phrase which will make the surgery complete and let
him live a normal life again. I trust my State Gov to act fast on this. Senator
Amosun won’t ignore this. Please click to continue.

Okay.... Cool story ladun.. Extremely cryogenic ..
ReplyDeleteMay God not cool story your requests in time of need.
DeleteLool amen ..instead he should answer it! AMEN!!! thankyou soo much
DeleteNa wa o. Gold medalist, silver medalist crying for help
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate our Heroes when they are dead and gone
ReplyDeleteIt's only in my country real hero's have no value
ReplyDeleteI wish him a quick recovery
ReplyDeleteI still don't get why someone who wins a medal is called a hero.
ReplyDeleteYou can never get it, that's why ull remain ANONYMOUS...No one knows u or wants to know u. Walk away if u don't have anything meaningful or helpful to say!
DeleteYou must be nuts anon.
ReplyDeleteWho is a hero to you please?
ReplyDeleteThe thieving politicians?
I bet this man's needs are small and the state government can put him on a monthly salary or set up a business for him.
Plus pay for the surgery too.
ReplyDeleteanno 3.39 who is a hero to u then??? hissss
ReplyDeleteSo much for some ass holes. This man needs help and the government needs to stand and help him. The debate here shouldn't be if he is a hero or not. Nigerians can bad mouth themselves sha. How many of you have achieved half of what he has achieved. He gave Ogun state a good name in the past, that is a big deal. let us celebrate him. I bet if Ladun had reported that the man passed on, many of you would have bin quick 2blame the govt.
ReplyDeleteAmosun probably didn't get his previous letters. I trust him to act promptly once this is pointed out to him
ReplyDeletePele o, Babatunde. May God heal you.
Ladun, I don't know if what he needs is replacement of his limbs if so Mrs Amosuns office asked ogun state indigenes who are in need of new artificial limbs to register @ her offc. If it applies to him. Reply and I can gv u more details! If not let him drop a copy of this letter at Govs offc Oke mosan and also gv a copy to his S.A on Media. He shd also speak to dem at ministry of Health!
ReplyDeleteAre u stupid? Can u read @ all?smh
DeleteReveal your Identity let me gv it to you HOT! U don't have anytn to add so piss off!
DeleteSo Ara what have u added? Someone needs funds to travel to india for medical reasons and u are talking about limb replacement? How daft is that?
Delete#justpassingby
ReplyDeleteGood that an Ogun State rep has come here. But why must it get to this to get a response?
ReplyDeletePakistani Beauty you are a bitch. Do you always have anything positive to say? NO
ReplyDeleteYes am a bitch so what? Shut the fuck up and move on
Delete#stillpassingby
mscheeeeeew
@Ara thanks. No it’s not about his limbs but his left arm. Can you please mail me so we can talk privately? Having a connection at Mrs Amosun’s office is a step forward. Please it is very urgent, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think I made the mistake of saying limbs. Sorry. They r gvn artificial arm as well.
Deletereally hope the gov hearkens to his cry for help..even if for reasons best known to him he doesn't want to drop all the money he can easily mandate or cajole his cabinet,hangers on to contribute the money like obasanjo did to otedola and dangote at a launching when he publicly announced donations for them even in their abscense lol
ReplyDeleteAra i think what you should fight for now is how to get Babatunde a helping hand and not defending the first lady or the governor here. Help babatunde that is what is needed. That is when Ogun State government have done well. thank me later.
ReplyDeleteNo pls don't get me wrong. Not defending them.I don't know them. I have done my bit by getting topshots to look into his plight.
DeleteI only mentioned the fact that there's a scheme going on where they are giving artificial limbs, arms legs and so on.
Hope he gets all the help he needs, Amen! Wishing him quick recovery and all the best!
Ara this is Ladun's email. Ladunliadi@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteA concerned Nigerian.
Thank you!
