gbadexy: I don't know if this is the proper section to post this but I feel I need to draw attention to this trend.
While on •̸Ϟ•̸y way back home this evening along ikorodu expressway, I witnessed an accident involving a car hitting a young boy around the obanikoro area.
The car hit the young guy with such force that he landed on a car on the other lane, damaging its windscreen and denting its body badly. That was even after the car that hit him applied a substantial amount of brake with loud screeching noise.
All cars stopped and the lady whose car the boy laned on came out with her driver and started making frantic move to get help while the boy lay on the road with blood trickling from his mouth.
When the brt bus I was in passed the scene through its dedicated lane, it was observed by the passenger in the bus that he had earpiece on his ear. I really don't know if he relied on hearing to cross the highway or maybe he was distracted by the music.
I've heard several similar incidence like a middle aged woman that killed a corper whom she claimed walked onto her lane while wearing earpiece, and a man that walked into a train track!
A similar incidence happened on a street near •̸Ϟ•̸y paint factory where a young boy walked into a robbery scene while listening to music on earpiece despite several cries to warn him and he was hit in the chest by bullet.
It really baffles ♍ƺ why anybody would deliberately shut an important sense off while walking on a public road where one needs all the senses intact to hear warnings and be alert.
I really hope this thread would get across to a significant number of youths and I want attention to be drawn to these ugly treand and sensitization and enlightenment should be carried out by media outfits warning the youths on the danger of listening to music while walking on the road and even perhaps about the use of skates on high way.
Majority of the people fond of this habits are teenagers that like following trends without knowing the consequence of their actions and it could easily be anybody's kid or sibling that could happen to again.
I hope this thread gets to the desired targets and I would want people to create BB broadcasts of their own to raise awareness on it or post warnings and awareness through other social media channels too.

2map: I have to pass this on to my friends.

9jawikileaks: Well honestly speaking I am a hostage to diz same act... Always loves em earpiece max wen am working on a road, psycologically it reduces the time u spend walking.. Well recntly I observed d negative aspect of it, ike less concentration and ability to not get alert, so I have started pushiing away the habit.. Thnx 2 d persn dat posted dz tho,

Mr McJay: Life expectancy in Nigeria is 39 years. If you use earpiece and you are pinging, omo your life remain 1 bar o! Do not ping with a BB on the street and put earpiece in your ears except you have written your will.

As to the MODs, 'they' won't put it on the fp now. If it is Tonto Dike posing with weed, it will make fp quickly or if it is another copy and paste from Psquare, they'll put it there. I don't understand why these mods promote intellectual barreness over common sense.
