Obanye Francess Chizoba will never forget the day she sustained acid injuries. She was just 9 years old when her uncle’s wife threw acid on her and ran away after the incident.
According to her, she meant to throw the acid on her brother, but she was scarred instead.
Chizoba, a graduate of Biochemistry from the Anambra State University, has been living as a burn survivor since then. Knowing that she cannot change her situation, Chizoba chooses to stay happy.
Now, she’s encouraging victims like her to share their stories. According to her, it will help them to know that they are not the only one in that situation and also live their life to the fullest.
She said:
Don’t be a silent victim ..learn to share your story..you might find out you are not the only 1 as you thought..mostly you might learn how to walk freely in that situation … yes I was poured acid by my uncles wife.
Yes she took away my facial looks,
But she didn’t stop me from been me!
But above all I refused to give up,
I refused to hide me myself from people,
