His words read …
“On Sunday, January 12th, a night out turned into both the worst and most teachable experience of my life. I went out with with some friends to a fancy lounge in Johannesburg, SA.From there I decided to head to another club with another acquaintance . On the way, at a traffic light, we were ambushed by two cars carrying six armed men with automatic rifles.
In the chaos, I tried to escape but got shot in the leg. One of the robbers put the rifle to my head and demanded my watch, which I struggled to remove, along with my chain and other jewelry. Bleeding heavily, I managed to get back to the car, and the driver rushed me to the nearest hospital. The bullet had passed through my leg, narrowly missing a major artery and bone. Doctors described this as miraculous, calling me “lucky.” I credit my survival to divine intervention and my mother’s prayers.
The experience changed my perspective on life. I lost over $114k worth of valuables that day, but I realized material possessions mean nothing. Life is fragile, and validation is meaningless. God gave me another chance, and I’m committed to living more authentically and appreciating life without unnecessary stress.
This event restored my focus and reminded me of what truly matters. I am Nonso Temisan Ajufo, also known as Big N, and this is my truth.
I met so many wonderful people in SA, and went to so many beautiful places…. and like any other country, there would be bad eggs that paint the nation bad.
South Africa 🇿🇦 …. I Visit, I Don’t Judge.
P.S (I stopped using the crutches 2 days right after, I’m way better now)”
