A young Nigerian amputee lady has gone viral on social media after emotionally accusing a Catholic reverend father of reckless driving that led to the loss of her legs. The woman, identified by her TikTok handle @valentinevalent39, shared a series of heartbreaking videos where she broke down in tears, narrating how her life changed forever due to the tragic accident.
According to her account, the incident occurred when the priest, allegedly driving at top speed, crashed into a tricycle she boarded, leaving her with severe injuries. The collision reportedly damaged her legs beyond repair, forcing doctors to carry out a double amputation. The lady revealed that she had once been full of life, with dreams and ambitions, but everything came crashing down due to one moment of carelessness behind the wheel.
Recounting her ordeal, she claimed that church officials initially visited her in the hospital and assured her they would provide artificial limbs once she recovered. However, when the time came for her to get prosthetic legs, she said the reverend father dismissed her requests, bluntly telling her via WhatsApp that “there is nothing the church can do about it.”
Her pain deepened when she later discovered that the same priest allegedly responsible for the crash was sponsored abroad for medical care. “They told me the person who hit me was transferred to India for plastic surgery, while I was left abandoned,” she lamented. “This is one year and seven months now, and they have moved on as if nothing happened to me.”
The victim’s story has sparked outrage and sympathy online. Many Nigerians condemned the alleged neglect by the church and expressed solidarity with her struggle, while others questioned whether social media was the right channel to seek redress. Still, her videos continue to gather attention, putting pressure on the church to respond to her claims.
Her plight underscores the struggles of accident victims who are left without proper care or compensation. For her, the road to recovery has been lonely and agonising, but she has chosen to speak out, hoping her voice will bring justice and accountability.
