Confined to a wheelchair, the young man tried to pick up his life but was fast with challenges on all sides.
Victor who lost his dad two years before the ugly encounter with the senior student became an orphan as his mother passed away 6 years later.
"My Dad died two years before the painful incident and I lost my mum, who was my pillar and backbone six years later. Life felt meaningless and worthless."
He had to failed attempts at love
Victor said he was forced to leave his village to a disabled home in Anambra state where he stayed for 3 years.
His first lover left him after promising to persevere in good and bad times, a decision Victor didn't blame her for.
In his words:
"Who will blame her? Who can vow to stay with a paraplegic man like me forever?"
Another lady who he thought was the real deal did far worse. Victor lamented how she also vowed to be with him only to abscond with his money, leaving the disabled man shattered.
"A year later, she didn't only steal my heart, she stole the little money I had and disappeared like dust. Having been through difficulties, I must confess, it hurt me so bad, but I couldn't give up."
Luck with love finally smiled on him unexpectedly
His situation was worsened by a caregiver he hired. Victor said the caregiver would always maltreat him for reasons he couldn't fathom.
The man said he would later meet the love of his life who happened to be a friend to his 'wicked' caregiver.
She had come around on a visit and that kickstarted their friendship turned relationship.
He appreciated the lady for loving him, describing her as his spine.
"I maybe disabled, but in you my love, I have found my ability. I walk with a broken spine, but you are my spine and I stand with you. Thank you for loving an ordinary disabled man from a small village, who has nothing to offer unconditionally. With you, there is no obstacle in life, I can't face."
Many react
Juliet Harrison opined:
"So pathetic. May God pay the so called senior who kept you in that condition in his own coin.
"And may God bless your wife to be.
"You both shall succeed together."
