A TikTok influencer, Aderonke Hannah Ajibade, popularly known as Sexy one-legged babe, says she nearly committed suicide when she saw the photographs of her two legs after the surgical removal of one of her legs.
In a post on her Instagram wall dated June 7, 2023, Aderonke had summarised her life’s story thus: “Am in need to 4.5 million for my 2 surgery
“Am Ajibade hannah Aderonke, am 22 yrs old. A student of Federal polythenic Ilaro.
“I had accident while going to school, and my bone is not joining since last year please yall help me 😭 don’t let them cut my leg again 🙏🏾.
“I need a quick operation by next week unless they will amputate again from the laps.
“Save my life from depression.”
All that has become a part of Aderonke’s life story as the leg was amputated slightly below the knee, but she has weathered the storm and is making positive use of her life’s experience.
Narrating her story, Aderonke says, “I boarded a bike (motorcycle) to my hostel from school after class. On my way, a car knocked down the bike, and my leg was shattered.
“People were seeking help on my behalf. I was rushed to the Ilaro General Hospital. They insisted on cutting my leg there, but I opposed it, and this led us to seek the traditional healer’s help. But it kept on getting worse, and the leg was gradually decaying.
My boyfriend left me immediately after I informed him about my condition
“After a while, I noticed my leg was not getting better. We proceeded to National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, in Lagos State. I got there at night, and that was when I was informed that my leg would be amputated.
“I was lost and had no choice but to accept my fate. Deep down, I was actually happy because I had been in pain since the incident happened because I believed that they were going to give me a new life.
“I called the man that hit me and informed him of the development. I only want him to say sorry for what he made me go through. Although he tried his best to pay for some of my medical bills before I got to Igbobi, he never showed up again upon hearing that my leg was going to be amputated.
“I almost committed suicide seeing my old pictures where I had two legs.
“I was depressed, I had to inform people about my ordeal. I called for donations many times because the bills were too much. But the saddest thing was seeing the people I trusted and loved leave me because of my condition.
“My boyfriend left me immediately after I informed him about it. Although, I was not expecting him to still date me, but at least coming to see me would have made a lot of difference. Even my friends, and honestly, I understand,” she retorted.
Regarding why she dropped out of school, Aderonke said the endless surgeries made her opt out of furthering her education.
She maintained that this led to her learning how to make hair and devising means to produce braided wigs for her prospective clients.
Aderonke uses her Instagram wall to post updates about her activities and to also keep up with her fans.
