The story of a young lady, Queen Okoye, who claims she is a graduate of Yabatech will bring tears to the eyes of anyone. According to Natasha Akpoti who shared the story online, Queen became homeless after he relationship with her boyfriend who she lived it while in school failed. She also claims she has been sleeping on the streets for years as none of her siblings is willing to accommodation her.

Natasha Akpoti in her post narrates the sad story:

This morning on my to the Singaporean Embassy in Lagos, I saw besides the gates of Eko hotel, a lady laying on the floor and everyone walked past her like she didn’t exist . I picked up my phone and took this picture (below) with the hope that I could share a lesson on depth of poverty.

At the embassy, I couldn’t get her image off my head. I felt even ashamed to have taken only the picture without stopping to hear her story. Immediately I stepped out of the Embassy, I drove right back to her. Woke her up and this is what she said in fluent English.

My name is Queen Okoye. I am 31 years old and a graduate of YabaTech. I am from Orsu Local Government Area in Imo state (she paused to spell Orsu for me). Her father is Mr. Basil Okoye. Mother is late. She lived with her boyfriend while in school. Their relationship fell apart and he kicked her out of his apartment. She has lived on the streets for years because her sister (married with children) refused to assist her.

I asked if she was on drugs and alcohol, but she said no. I noticed she smiled a little too much but always added “I am happy a beautiful lady like you acknowledged me. People walk by me everyday like I don’t exist “. This broke my heart.

So I asked permission to take a picture and share her story with you good people. She asked “will they help or laugh at me. People call me crazy.” I told her the God that made me see her will make others connect to her.

I also asked if she had any message for you all . She looked at me and said “tell them I need help to get out of the streets. It all started like a joke and now I can’t believe how low I have fallen. I might need some counseling and medical attention because being out here changes one drastically. I need a place to sleep and a job to fend for myself.

Today, I had an option to be like everyone and walk past Queen but I decided to be better. Everyone of us can attempt a little kindness and love to each homeless person; or anyone about to be lynched by a crowd. A little effort goes a long way.

Queen stays in front of Eko hotel’s fence. She is waiting for someone to read this and reach out to her. So if you work in Lagos state welfare department or know any agency in charge of women, pls get to Queen. Let’s all share a little kindness because it would all come back to us.

Queen needs you!!!
