Read letter below…
People of Nigeria,
This is Sean, first and proud son of Ibinabo Fiberesima, I write on here today to plead with all Nigerians to pray for my mother. She is going through the toughest of times right now, and so are we, her family. I’ve been reading heartbreaking comments on her matter that ‘she thinks she’s above the law’, ‘she doesn’t feel sorry for the family of the deceased’, ‘she was drunk and deserves this punishment’, let me get a few things straight with you now.
My mother is the most humble woman I know, I was not aware she was a celebrity until I was about 14 and that’s only because my uncle told me, she does not see herself or act as if she is above any other person. She is a proud Nigerian who loves her country and its people.
Secondly, she has been carrying heartbreak around with her for the past 11 years after the accident. She understands the pain for the deceased family and is very hurt about what happened herself. She has tried her utter most to console with the Family, so don’t ever think she does not care.
Thirdly she was not drunk, the charges are reckless and dangerous driving, first of all I refuse to believe my mother was driving recklessly or dangerous, as I’ve been in a car with her countless times and nothing has happened. On this occasion it was unfortunate, she was unlucky, her car flipped over which happens to a number of cars and another car smashed into her. She was in a comma for days, she could have easily lost her life, but thankfully, by Gods strength only she survived. She did not set out that day trying to kill someone or herself.
Right now my mother is broken, and needs the prayer and support of all Nigerians, so please put all your conspiracies about this matter aside, I know it’s between her and God now.
Join us, myself, Craig her son who is 14, Malcolm and Brian her other sons and her beautiful Daughter Zino who is just 8, and the rest of her family, to pray for my Mother. Let God decide what is just and what is not.
Whatever your religion, join us and Pray for my mother as well as the family of the deceased. We can all get through this but not without God.
Thank you for reading, may God bless you all.”
Oh my may God see her through
Very sweet,I pray they come out of this
Coming from a well brought up child. Kudos and may God help you overcome it all as family and individuals.
Nice write up. People shouldn’t make Matters worse for her please as she must be going through a tough time right now.
Hmmmmm, may God see her through
She is just going for a few years vacation in prison and you people will still have access to her there unlike Dr Giwa who’s gone forever and his family will never see again.Why didn’t this plea for prayers come 11 yrs ago or even last year before the sentencing?Anyway she still has the Supreme court.I can only pray for justice to be done.
u’re heartless man.with all what the boy wrote.so this is the word of encouragement that u can give.this is unfair of u.if it happen to be u nko?may God forgive u.
I can feel the family’s pain.May God give them strenght.
God will c her through
Awwww God will save her life
Nothing will happen to her
So touching indeed
Hmmmm
It’s well
May God help them
i know how you feel Sean, it shall be well
Sorry boy, Justices must be serve
God will see her through.
Let justice be done. This was a case of drunk driving.
Justice jare
i second with what Eka Ekwere Ikono said, why cant the boy himself
post this many years ago when her mother sent the DR to early grave? She only thinks about her career and her own family. let her dance to the tune of the justice now. Its time our Judiciary deliver justice as it suppose to me. Left to me, 5 yrs is too small for someone who kills.
Honestly the tone of the letter sounds arrogant. I feel for both families God help them through
