Earlier this month, we brought
you the emotional and heartbreaking video of an Old Woman, Emily Oyedele, whose
tear jerking reaction to the demolition of her house, went viral.
Former Bread Seller turn super
star, Olajumoke Orisaguna have now reached out to her and sorted her out.
Talking about the good act, Olajumoke said
"My team found mama Emily
Oyedele. @qtabyevents team embarked on a search today & eventually located
her. She lives alone in a "face-me-I-face-you" and she has neighbors
that assist her. They say she is 130yrs old, though she looks very old, we can
not verify her age.
Mama Emily has no living child
but has a grandson called Benjamin Oyedele who she was referring to in the
viral video.
The residents of the area
confirmed that they do not know exactly when the demolition will get to them
but it has already commenced.
OUR INTENTIONS:
1) Rent a decent 1bedroom
apartment for mama Emily,
2)Furnish the apartment quickly
3) Relocate her there before the demolition gets to her (we have just about two
weeks)
4) Possibly get a little girl
that can live with her to help her with cleaning, cooking e.t.cor find out if
her son can live with her
5) Form a small community of
20people called "friends or Mama Emily"
6) Designate one person to visit
her once weekly, spend time with her e.t.c
7) We will also try to assist her
grandson to learn a trade & earn a living as that is the only way her Joy
will be complete
cool We will look into the
possibility of helping other people in the community as we found another very
old man that lives not far from Mama Emily whose house is also marked for
demolition
The gentleman in brown shirt in
the picture is her grandson Benjamin Oyedele. He was in our office yesterday
and we realized that him and Mama's son had a building site before things went
down & mama's died. The house needs plastering and roofing and fixing of
toilets. We visited the building site yesterday. We will like to help them
complete that house so that mama can live with his grandson & great grand
children for the rest of her life.
