My Uncle’s Wife Took Away My Facial Looks, But She Didn’t Stop Me From Being Me – Acid Victim

An Acid-attack survivor has taken to her Instagram page to share her story and encourage other victims to come forward and speak out.

Acid burn survivor, Obanye Francess Chizoba has shown that she is an example of a resilient person who despite her ordeal still managed to make something wonderful of herself.

Chizoba took to her Instagram page to share an inspiring post to celebrate being a survivor, while encouraging other victims living with scars to come forward and share their bitter stories.

In the post, Chizoba revealed that her face was disfigured after her uncle’s wife poured acid on her, but that has not stopped her from being herself. She wrote:

“Don’t be a silent victim ..learn to share your story..you might find out you are not the only 1 as you thought..mostly you might learn how to walk freely in that situation … yes I was poured acid by my uncles wife. Yes she took away my facial looks, But she didn’t stop me from been me! But above all I refused to give up, I refused to hide me myself from people, I choose happiness, I kept on being that little sweet girl I was then and now! If you are living with a scars and you are so scared of facing people.. let this face right here help you make decisions…..

Say no to acid attack..17th November.”
