And we preach the brother's keepers sermon.

Sadly, those people riding past are somehow active members in churches and mosques. You see them praying as if they naturally want to burst their lungs. We have a long way to go as humans in this country. Accident victims o! and not Robbery Victims that the police would want to rope u with the case as the animals they are.

So sad.

It doesn't baffle me cos this country is a zoo. In other words i think these so called bloggers create random twitter/facebook accounts to writer rubbish any time news/stories are not forthcoming, i take this as a mere fallacy, the writer doesn't even specify the place the so called accident happened, lol. THIS STORY IS FABREGATED JUST TO FILL BLOG PAGES

I wont blame them , lots of people are wasting in Nigerian prisons just because of this kind of acts of love, Nigerian system is crazy, no emergency center to call and if u try to help, even the person might just say you are the one that hit him because he doesnt want to pay bill or doesnt have money to pay the bill.
If you think the well, in your mind you will just support the victims with prayer because the story of the good samaritan could have landed him in jail right here in Nigeria, but that shouldnt give us an excuse not to save a life, One thing i have noticed is Nigerians are always looking for the first person to stop and help, once one person stops others will follow suit,

Check out this scenerio
u helped the guy, because the doctors in most hospitals are not qualified, they will reject the person telling you to take him to the general hospital and if satan catches u, he dies in your car , you now went to report yourself at the station , the first thing they do is lock you up calling you a murderer not even a suspect oo or give u a benefit of the doubt, then before u know wassup they either ask you for a 100k bribe and if Satan now catches you the more , you dont have it, then thats how they will frame you for someones else death, and if devil wants to finish your life, if there is one rich man whose sons commits a criminal offence they could collect bribe then make you the victim.
Any wise Nigerian would do anything in his power to stay away from the Nigerian police because ive heard cases where police will change your name on their register that you will never be found.

May God heal this country.

Okay, it is the system now. No more Goodluck or Buhari. Someone asks for laws. Who elects lawmakers. Who do lawmakers represent....answer, our collective values. Nigeria is the way it is because of Nigerians so anytime something goes wrong just look at the mirror in exasperation.

AndreRose:

You took the word out of my mouth. This same thing happened in the recent danfo bus that got burnt in lagos. Though, the victims weren't said to have died.
Wonder how some people can have the heart to pass the victims. This is so sad.

UjSizzle:
I suppose the oath the doctors take... (watsitcalled, Hippocratic oath?) means nothing to them.

I've wondered about this walking/driving past someone who could need medical attention. Empathy is dead. Some people won't even cast a second glance their way, and everyday we go to church to praise God. Where's the love here eh?

FabioPeter:


Sometime ago, before motorcycles were outlawed in Benin City. I was witness to an accident where a bike rider carelessly made a u turn on an express way. The oncoming vehicle hit him so hard he was elevated forward and above the vehicle, my car was right behind but I saw it all.
The vehicle immediately took off probably for fear of been mobbed. I stopped by and at this point there were numerous onlookers doing nothing other that shake their head and watch the bleeding man. I helped, put him in my car and headed for a nearby clinic, on getting there I realised it had been shut down, the closest was a general hospital quite a distance away in a traffic zone, I had to go there. Five minutes later the accident victim started gasping and moaning it was then I realised I had taken a risk, thank God traffic wasn't terrible that day.
We got to the hospital in 10mins, at the accident ward I asked that they help take him in on a stretcher, they looked at me with stern and said it was my headache and pointed to a wheel chair that I could use. I eventually got the dying man to the emergency ward and explained but they won't have none of my story as far as they were concerned I hit him and I had to take responsibility. The man was still gasping but manage to answer when asked to narrate the accident he simply said I wasn't responsible.
At this point they let me go.
Now tell me what would have happened had this man died or was unable to speak at the hospital? Was it a good decision to hell him? These are a few reasons why we suffer an empathy deficit in Nigeria. It could have been a lot worse for me.

Mynd44:

We are not out of empathy, it is because people have had bad experience(s) where someone died on the way the hospital and this caused trouble for the person who wanted to help.

There are also cases where you stop to help and you find out it is a trap where you get attacked.

People have pity but are just tied by the environment

Yes yes. This country can give you a heartache

doskie:

snapping them is bad. fine.
but passing? this is Nigeria. Not USA. if they die in your hand you wont have it funny. untill a law is made to stop police and doctors from intimidating samaritans, people will remain sceptical about rendering help except they are or have very strong legs in the society that can bail them out of any trouble. its that terrible

ZACHIE:


Not only FABRECATED, it was FABREGAS that should be held responsible.
Olodo.
When it comes to you, be ready to face the consequences alone because we will be too uncaring as you to give a hoot.

WebSurfer:
I MET A SIMILAR CASE DURING THE EBOLA PERIOD, THOUGH I WAS SCARED AS THE VICTIM WAS A COMPLETE STRANGER BUT I HAD NO CHANCE THAN TAKE THE RISK SINCE SHE WAS PREGNANT AND COLLAPSING BY THE ROADSIDE JUST VERY LATE AROUND 8-9PM, EVENTUALLY EVEN AFTER THAT, HOSPITALS, DOCTORS, NURSES SURPRISED ME, IT WAS FINALLY A FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER WHO ACCEPTED AND ATTENDED TO US AFTER BEING REJECTED REPEATEDLY BY OTHERS, MAY GOD HELP US NIGERIANS

tete7000:


I think it is rather too sad there is no emergency number to call when accident happens. Having one would avoid scenarios painted in this post. It is really too dicey to help a dying accident victims in this part of the world. Even hospitals are wary of taking in victims out of fear. How do you handle it should the person dies? You don't know the victims from Adams and suddenly you have an unidentified dead person in your hand. However as this poster wrote we nevertheless have to find ways to help, not doing so amount to heartlessness and who knows who the victims can be tomorrow.
