I wanted to travel from Abuja to Delta on Saturday, so I decided to board a commercial vehicle (name withheld). Soon, the bus got filled up and we started the journey. I was so enjoying the journey because the driver was on a very high speed and there was a lot of breeze coming into the vehicle. Fast forward to Lokoja just before river Niger and river Benue, we saw from a far distance that there was hold up(because of environmental sanitation) and our driver tried to stop the vehicle but the brake refused to respond(our vehicle was on a very high speed), there was a petrol tanker just in front of us(I was already saying my last prayer, since the vehicle, refused to stop), everyone in the vehicle started screaming the name of Jesus (beside the four hausa guys at the back of the vehicle) and all of a sudden the vehicle diverted from our Lane into the other Lane and stopped miraculously without brake. Now, if the vehicle had not diverted we would have crashed into the tanker and only God knows, maybe I would have been dead, leaving my family in grief and sorrow, but God saved me.
I shared this in crime section because, the careless driver knew the brake was not in good working condition but he decided to use the vehicle because his manager told him that if he doesn't use it, he should just consider himself fired ... Is this not the worst crime on Earth??... Well I thank God I didn't die nor did anyone in the vehicle die..

nbright:
@ jerrypolo, what's the name of the transport company?

Ymodulus:

And a bigger fool says there is a god without finding to check if there really is one.

Man free @ freecocoa, she has her believes learn to respect it. Cause she made absolute sense.

What happened to those who died and believe in your so called God? Your God must be a Psychopath that he enjoys killing some people and leaving some.

Driver was on high speed and you we're enjoying it now you know that when people say speed kills, they we're not telling you lies.
That driver needs to be beaten to a pulp. He knew the brakes we're bad yet he was speeding like there was no tomorrow?
Speed kills people. Drive with sense and care ESP on Naija roads.
I just feel sorry for people who get involved in accidents because of the carelessness of drivers and their padsangers who do not mind the carelessness of their drivers. Imagine if there was a car going jejely on that lane the bus diverted to. Wouldn't that have been stupid implication for the innocent people in the second car?

IrradiatoR:



God Bless you. . .

imagine someone saying the driver is not to be blamed because that's his means of livelihood!!! so if he had hit the tanker or another vehicle and they all died, won't his family experience the same fate, coupled with the lives that'll be lost alongside his

I lost a friend in the reported GIG bus accident on lokoja-abuja express way last week, still wishing he had alongside other passengers shouted their voice out on the driver as regards his speed level. . . . a promising youth gone just like that

hardbody:


Seriously the brakes were bad from the onset and you guys drove all the way from Abuja to Lokoja? This is not correct my brother. It is possible the brakes were not in a perfect state not such that it could not drive at all. I am not saying it did not happen but that claim of yours that the brakes were bad all through is not entirely correct, it only got worse as the journey progressed.

freecocoa:
I guess all those other people that have died in road accidents deserved it then, since you are so special that god couldn't help but save you, must everything be linked to this una God sef? Na wa o.

Your driver was on high speed and you were enjoying it, instead of cautioning him, you see your life?

Good thing you are alive, next time, tell the driver to drive carefully, that works better than screaming some jewish name.

egariyi:
To prevent this type of crime in future, you should have mentioned the company name. By so doing, Road Safety can be involved. I really doubt this your story ;

Jerrypolo:
okay everyone, I didn't want to post the name of the company because of interest of the company..... Well the name of the transport company is BIG JOE VENTURES
