In tragedy this week, two strong women one from the USA and the other from Nigeria sent the same truthful message.
Susan Schmidt-Orfanos’ son had survived the Las Vegas disco club shooting only to be killed in the Thousand Oaks club college party shooting. I don’t want your prayers and I don’t want your thoughts, she yelled. I just want to stop guns. Far away from that scene in California, a Nigerian woman who recovered from depression and mental problems herself and now runs a helpline to assist those in similar situations said “you can’t pray things away”. Thoughts to ponder. Roland Toronto.
