Woman who bragged about her achievements on social media shares how multiple tragedies befell her afterwards as she warns people to keep things private

A woman who took to X months ago to brag about her achievements has returned to the platform to warn against it. 

The woman, who is now using a wheelchair after suffering two accidents, was on X last year, sharing her academic achievements after an X user urged people to brag about their achievements. 

At the time, she revealed that she had the highest overall performance in her department and shared photo proof. 

Yesterday,  Nov. 10, 2024, she revealed that she is now paralysed from the neck down after sharing her good news publicly. 

She wrote: “When people say don’t post your achievements on social media, I now believe them. On my way home after final exams I got involved in an unexplainable car accident that left me paralysed from the neck down. 

“I couldn’t even graduate because I wasn’t done with my research. I’m still not done because I can’t write or type on my laptop anymore. From being completely dependent to having to be 100% dependent on others. 

“I spent 6 months in hospital (3 in ICU), had 4 high risk operations, and was on life support. At some point they called my family at 4am to come say goodbye to me. But they ended up successfully resuscitating me. I’m in awe of how God has carried me through. 

“I didn’t wake up from one of my surgeries for one and a half hours. I had everyone stressed out. And the weird thing is I received a call from someone I can’t remember offering to pray for me before the surgery. The prayer was so weird that I ended up opening my eyes. 

“I forgot to mention that I got involved in another one 2 months ago ay shame. We were 5 in the car and only my side got hit.”
