Bone is an important component part of the body. It has its supportive role but when anything happens to any part of it there could be serious discomfort, this is usually refers to as bone fracture or broken bones.
In our society today, broken bones is common place, no thanks to the usual dangerous living of our people particularly as it affects individual mobility, sporting events and processes of means of livelihood.
In all these, accidents do occur and bones get cracked or broken in such unfortunate circumstances. Wikipedia put the figure associated with broken bones at 1.5 million cases per year in Nigeria. There may be no exaggerations.
In the past, our forefathers were usually skillfully positioned to treat such cases locally, though it may take longer period to heal than the mordern othopaedic treatments which in record time of between six to twelve weeks would heal to a significant degree.
Everywhere around us, there are people who are gifted and who are experts in the processes of healing fractured or broken bones. They are seeing as messiahs by victims who are desperately looking for for healings.
One of these people at our bell and call in recent years is Eyeatora of Ijurin- Ekiti, Mrs Florence Bejide Oluwadare daughter of the late
Pa Oluwadare Oni, the Aworoefi.
Mrs Bejide's father did not inherit bone-setting skill and he did not learn it from anyone, the inspiration just came. His own father Agbeleumolegun was an acknowledged “Aremo” specialist who did not know more than taking care of ill health associated with mother and child. This was what Oluwadare Oni learnt from his own father, but suddenly he came about the skill of healing broken bones and soon he became much sought after from far and near.
How did Mrs Florence Bejide inherit this skill from her own father, you may want to ask? There was no serious training session at any point in time , in fact, Pa Oni was found of saying that 'oni e mo ee mo' 'those who are destinied to know how to cure broken bones would know it'. That was how Mrs Bejide one of the adorable daughters of Pa Oni inherited healings associated with broken bones from her father.
On the demise of her father in 2007, Mrs Bejide, now widely known as Eyeatora, inherited his father's patients, she started treating them one after the other and they all got healed. Her own first patient thereafter was from Iloro-Ekiti and this was Jingo's son at Iloro-Ekiti. The patient is still in Iloro today hail and healthy. Her trials therefore became convincing and that was it, the new bone healer has arrived.
This breakthrough gave Eyeatora a very wide acceptance and publicity. Patients were now being brought from everywhere under the sun and to the glory of God, they had their problems solved permanently and they still being taken care of in the best practices of traditional orthopaedic approach.
Today it is not only that Eyeatora is a household name, her desterity at handling complex cases has placed her and Ijurin-Ekiti on a world Map. In all cases and no matter how terrible it is and if it has to do with cracked or broken bones. You will be advised to take the patient to Eyeatora at Ijurin-Ekiti in Ijero Local Government of Ekiti State. It is sure that the patient would be healed.
Eyeatora Bejide is about 60years old. She was born and bred at Ijurin-Ekiti but she was later taken to live with Madam Kikunola Ogunweide at Ile-ife where she was learning cloth trading and she would follow Mama Kikunola (Iya Alaso) to buy cloth at Iseyin, Ede Ibadan and thereafter would go about selling from one farmsteads to the other around Ile-Ife and its environs such as Abata Egba, Ifewara, Ifetedo, Ipetu among others.
The young Bejide was with Mama Alaso till she got married and followed her husband to Kainji and started selling clothes there. She soon came back home and the job of bone healing was naturally entrusted In her care and for over 12years, it has been a success story.
Today Eyeatora is being recognized everywhere and the kabiesi, HRM, Oba Joachim Afolabi Ajibola has graciously bestowed on Mrs Bejide a chieftancy tittle of Yeyeatora of Ijurin-Ekiti on the occasion making the 5th coronation of the revered Kabiesi. We can only celebrate with this quintessential and self-made humanitarian worker who has in the course of doing her job being a source of succour and hope to many dejected souls.
