Tragic moments at my workplace

By

When a new year or month comes, we fondly wish ourselves good tidings and pray for good will but it doesn't usually come as we desire.

It is true that everyone loves himself but the saying goes that no man is an island. We all care about our friends and families and that is the reason we extend our love and support to them.

The month of April has not been a good month for me because i have to feel the pain and tragedy that was met by two of my colleagues at work.

Earlier last week, a colleague of mine lost 3 fingers in an accident at work.  Though he is still currently receiving treatment at the hospital where doctors are working really hard to make them usable, we are not sure of the outcome since all 3 fingers were recovered and sewn back.  
Our boss who is an Indian, didn't even flinch about compensation. All he could say was get well and come back to work. Not even did he visit with food supplies. I pray for him everyday for those fingers to not only heal but remain useful.

This morning, i resumed work just to hear that another colleague of mine died while taking native treatment for a cancerous throat which had impaired his voice for a long time now. Even in his condition then, we worked very hard without absenting from work. He was a jovial man, a forklift operator, who was loved by everyone yet work didn't stop in honour of him.

I feel so sad as both tragic incidents never for a minute, stop the company from running cos we all looked like disposable cups in the eyes of our boss.

I have learnt a great lesson never to see myself as too important to any firm because i stop being important when I can no longer perform my duties. But my family and friends are the ones who will feel the pain should something happen.

DSP Andrew Enwerem, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) who confirmed the incident in a chat with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Owerri, said some others sustained injuries. He explained that an unidentified man, said to be from the northern part of Nigeria, had run amok and killed a girl and a woman and thereafter killed himself. He said some aggrieved youths immediately went for reprisal attacks. This he said led to some other persons sustaining various degrees of injuries.
