I think we can look at it that he is trying to sensitize others on doing the right thing in such situations! He is not necessarily looking for praise. I for one, have learnt from his actions. God bless you OP!

On my way home tonight along the Akala expressway leading to my house, I saw a truck that was abandoned on a portion of the road without the C-Caution signage and I passed by it.

But it occurred to me that a driver who is not 100% concentrated on the wheels could run into the stationary truck and that would be fatal, so I turned back, parked somewhere safe and sacrificed my car's C-Caution for the safety of other road users, afterall I can replace my C-Caution by just skipping a meal but a life is irreplaceable!

You get fined up to a hundred Euro if you Don't have one in your car In Germany. Worse is if you don't place one 100 meters from you car in a breakdown, night or day.

well unlike what u think some of us have been reminded and inspired to do good. if I didn't see this today I won't have been kind hearted enough to help a friend who was in dire financial straits today knowing fully well that he can't pay back even if he promised to...u can sing my praise or better still don't but get the message; help people unconditionally. do good without expecting reward...peace be with u...

Lol. Truth be told, you're just playing devil's advocate.
It happened at night on a lonely dark road. If he didn't post it, who would?
Do you know how many million people have learnt from what he just did and posted, and how many thousands of lives he has saved by the multiplier effects of people emulating his action and doing the same.
All because he was wise enough to not only do a good act deed, but also to post it to encourage others.
You should just stop playing devil's advocate already.
You are going verbose over a very simple thing.

The crux of the matter is the foolish truck driver. Solve a problem from the root and not from the leaves.

Is there anywhere in the Op where he condemned the truck driver? Why isn't it all about earning human praises?

Think!

No wonder our old leaders keep saying that most of the youths and teenagers of this generation are useless and not ready to lead. Someone did something good and commendable all they can say is that he's showing off. Even if he was showing off,at least a little child could learn from his good gesture. All you know is scam people,steal,rob,watch x-rated movies,waste your lives in clubs;no future ambition. Quote me and you'll remain useless for life. Awon omo lasan.

Think!

Honestly you are all over the place. Calm down this morning abeg.
The OP is an upstanding Rotarian and like we do in the Rotary family, good deeds are publicized so that others can get inspired and make the world a better place. Yes, your version of God won't bless the OP for coming to say it himself that (the mortal sin) he put up a road sign, but I think (in my layman logic) that He (your version of God) might bless the OP if a few people are saved from having accidents on that road. Heck what if He doesn't? Didn't the act help the general public? I think it did and if we all did little acts of kindness like this day in -day out, the world would be a better place. So oga, your grouse on this matter, is very very inconsequential when weighed against the OP's very kind gesture (service to humanity). The thread isn't about you so please calm down and stop being agitated.

The point is not about helping someone or saving a life. It's about taking pictures of your act and coming to NL to create a thread so the world will see your good deeds and praise your generosity. To me that's pride in humility.
Do you know how many people who go about, everyday, doing good? The OP has just gotten his reward (human praises) for the good deed. He definitely could have left it a secret assistance and wait on God for his reward(s).

Tomorrow you'll see someone create a thread on how s/he helped an aging mother cross the highway and seek my "you did good" post. Smh... Nairalanders and their attention seeking attitude sef.

At times we need to step up to cover for the ignorance and stupidity of others. Countless people have lost their lives because of such death traps set by these drivers assholes. No lights...no reflectors...no c sign... truck loaded with blocks just sitting on the highway... and FG think BH is the only group of local terrorists. Great deed OP.... and for publicising to educate. May those who drive be moved to see the importance of the c sign and have at least one in their car. Lastly.....place sign a greater distance from the stalled car to give drivers enough warning to safely change lane or stop. Great job.
