Buchukwu: you are so correct. A growing trend, even on Nairaland. Why it works so well is because most Nairalanders are as dull as a blunt knife. 1 Like |

the doctors do not get paid from the number of people they help. (and they do not get sanctioned effectively, if they do not try their best!) if you do not want to be a COMPETENT DOCTOR, do not pose around as one! |

naijainfogalery: 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. |

igbsam: 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. |

EagleScribes: 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. |

Edusouls: Obviously your lineage is made up of Black Monkeys! Stop using the "collective Pronoun" "WE" or "OUR" in your statement. It is you and your family that is cursed and impoverished. The fact that you dont do something does not mean "ALL" Africans dont do it. Phucking retard! BTW: Did the Govt not make LAW that No One should ride "Okada" on the HighWay? This silly Non-Nigerian (Lulu Chimabiala) and her Friends will disobey laws made for their own good, ....and when they "break neck and jaw", will still turn around to blame "Nigerians" for their own headiness, stubbornness and outright stewpidity! I am sure your "broken" friend wasn't even intelligent enough to wear a crash helmet otherwise, his/her jaw might not be so screwed! In your God-forsaken country where you came from (Lulu Chimabiala), do they stop to carry Eediots that refuse to obey the law by riding Okada on the Highway? Until you learn to obey simple laws, dont expect pity from anyone. Even in Western countries, you will see signs telling you you cant walk or ride a bicycle on the Motorway! And they obey such laws. And you dare not touch an accident victim if you have no first-aid or first responder training other wise you will land yourself in serious trouble as the victim or his family might turn around to say you caused more damage to the victim by your "untrained action"! All you can do it dial emergency numbersd and request for an ambulance, stating where the accident occurred. It is in Nigeria you want them to carry dying accident victim and take personal risk? ??? And in-case you decide to make yourself "useful", you will do better by just writing a Petition to the National Assembly to make Laws that will encourage people to do so without fear of any repercussion and also mandate the Govt to install emergency call-phones along the Highways... and respond to them ASAP,....... instead of disparaging the all Nigerians!

any right thinking man should help the passenger first. the bike man could help prevent the accident in the first place by not acting fast n furious. |

The Nigerian system is designed to kill its citizens... Take an accident victim to hospital and see the result for yourself. Many people are in trouble today just because they showed mercy to accident victims. The most you can do is to involve law enforcement agencies, which may be unavailable. Until the sustem is corrected, we are not going anywhere. |

NO ONE HERE HAS A RIGHT TO BLAME THOSE WHO SNAP PICTURES OR WHO CAN'T OFFER HELP TO ACCIDENT VICTIMS. BLAME THE SYSTEM! ONLY THE EXPERIENCED KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! IT IS A PITY THAT GOOD ACTS ARE LEGALLY DISCOURAGED, AND EVEN PUNISHABLE! |

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? |

AndreRose: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 1 Like |

UjSizzle: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

UjSizzle:I once took a victim of a motorcycle crash to an hospital once and the guy in his unconscious state started fighting the nurses and almost beat one of then up. It took the intervention of a lot of people to hold him down. His family was not there just bystanders who were unlooking or just talking and no one took the initiative. Now imagine if the guy had died on the way the family could have held me responsible as no one else except a random motorcycle who took us to the hospital was with us and he left immediately he dropped us off. There is also the problem of hospital costs....registration cards etc. *sighs* |

The black man is incapable of running a modern and efficient nation, the oyinbos have said it you call them racist, I used to call them racist too but no more, look at Nigeria nothings works, ordinary emergency services with ambulance na wahala, how difficult is it to have standby paramedics and ambulance with emergency number, every pictures of accidents i have seen on NL involves people standing around the dead or dying bodies looking helplessly, no trained medical staff in sight, no police nothing, corruption seems to be the only thing done with precision. |

WebSurfer: Nice story but wrong conclusion. God does not need to help Nigerians just as he did NOT help the Europeans, Americans, Canadians and all those other places we like to run away to because their people helped themselves climb out of their depravity largely through mass education for all their children! The whole essence of the message of Christ (Prophet Issa to Moslems) is that we should use our God-given intellect to sort out out man-made problems instead of crying to God each time as if He did not make us in His Image. 1 Like 1 Share |

tete7000: It's so sad that we are still living in the dark ages in Nigeria and indeed the whole of the African continent. Animals are treated better in the civilised countries than we treat human beings in Africa. I was horrified to see a crowd of people on 3rd Mainland bridge taking the pictures of some people involved in a car accident instead of lending a helping hand to the unfortunate victims. The money that the African leaders should have spent to build and equip standard hospital, procure ambulances, build schools, construct good roads, provide electricity, portable drinking water and other social services is wantonly looted by the leaders and their allies. The people are consigned to scrap heap perpetually. Very sad. 2 Likes |
