How old was the young man and what in fu*k's name was he doing on the roads at 5:30am?

I'm not even going to lay the blame down to his age because I've seen very very careful young drivers, I started driving at the age of 16, though I experimented a lot, I knew my limits and the value of life.

Those major Abuja roads are no child's play, I've plied some of those roads (as a passenger ) and they are one of the most dangerous I've ever seen. Some of the roads are just one way traffic with heavy duty vehicles moving recklessly, no road lights, one eyed vehicles, motorcyclists,.....So so dangerous.

If the young man was drunk, then he killed himself.

oilyngbati: Muslims are not happy

They’re not happy inGaza
They're not happy in Egypt
They're nothappy in Libya
They're not happy in Morocco
They're not happy in Iran
They're not happyin Iraq
They're not happy in Yemen
They'renot happy in Afghanistan
They're not happy in Pakistan
They're not happy in Syria
They're not happy in Lebanon
So, where are they happy? They're happy in Australia
They're happy in England
They're happy in France
They're happy in Italy
They're happy inGermany
They're happy in Sweden
They're happy in the USA & Canada
They're happy in Norway & India
They're happy in almost every country that is not Islamic! And who
do they blame? Not Islam... Not their leadership... Not themselves...
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!! And they want
to change the countries they're happy in, to be like the countries they
came from where they were unhappy.
Try to find logic in that ! JeffFox worthy on Muslims:
1. If you refine hero in for a living, but you have a moral objection
toliquor... You are a Muslim
2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocketlauncher, but
you can't afford shoes... You are a Muslim
3. If you have more wives than teeth... You are a Muslim
4. If you think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and
suicide...You are a Muslim
5. If you can't think ofanyone you haven't declared Jihad
against...You are a Muslim
6. If you consider televisiondangerous, but routinely carry explosives
inyour clothing... You are a Muslim
7. If youwere amazed to discover that cell phoneshave uses other
than setting off roadsidebombs... You are a Muslim
8. If you havenothing against women and think every manshould own
at least four... You are a Muslim
9.If you find this offensive or racist and don'tforward it... You are a
Muslim!! --------------------

Speak for yourself dude! His death doesn't make me happy. We are losing well schooled kids who can help change things in the north in the future. Forget about your dislike for his father (I also do not like his father's political leanings of late). Hamza is innocent and didn't choose to be born by mallam or a former minister the same way none of us chose our parents.
I am also saddened by the youngmans' death but let's not be sentimental here.Even if he had completed his education,he would have done nothing for struggling Northeners except become part of the elite in the North who continue to deceive,subjugate and disenfranchise the majority of the populace in the North

Ayoo lo'npayan, Isee ki'npayan! (it is excessive exuberance that kills, "lack" does not kill ...literally translated) wink

Looking at his Lexus vehicle, a few things become obvious:

1.) the scratches on the car's body and the multiple depressions shows that the vehicle undertook "multiple somersaults and side-rolls"
Cause: Complete "Loss of control" which is not unconnected with very high speed.

2.) Looking at the wheels of the vehicle, they are almost pulled-off the body of the car ....just hanging by a few wires! Infact, the two front wheels are off the vehicle!! shocked
Cause: Impact was massive, sudden and jangling.... the type you see when a racing car crashes into a wall or barrier or as in this case, another vehicle! Excessive 'big-boy' speed!

3.) Judging that the other vehicle was "stationary" and was not even obstructing the road (as it was parked 'off-road'), it may be that its hazard lights were not "on" (pls let us always remember to do this when we are parked alongside the road, so that other road users can have "advance warning" of lurking danger!).
But then, the guy must be doing "how many hundreds of miles/hour" to leave the road and ram into a stationary vehicle at the side of the road?
Its not as if Police men from Alakara Police station in Mushin-Lagos, are at their "usual game" vis-a-vis De Grin accident now?

A few possibilities as well:

a) Was he intoxicated (alcohol)?
In some countries, his remains would be autopsied for alcohol right away but in Nigeria, we blame it on God, as usual. wink wink
But l know "poor" Muslims dont drink alcohol ..... "rich ones" are probably exempted! wink wink

b) Was he using his "seat-belt"?
Judging by the fact that vehicle must have rolled a few times but the "driver's compartment still looks a bit okay", compared to the backside, l suspect my guy was not on seat belt and suffered multiple concussion and internal organ damage as vehicle made impact and began rolling over and over.

c) Again, "two people were involved"
...why did the other survive the crash (either his side passenger or the driver of the other vehicle) and only him went AWOL?
Likely a "seat-belt" issue! Are we learning from this episode or are we going to repeat the same mistake?

I feel sorry for the young man who has to end his life is such manner, l also feel sorry for his parents who used their own money to buy what killed their son!
If prayers were useful to the dead, l would offer some prayers for him but its a waste of bandwidth as it has zero effect on the dead.

But let us "Parent"s, especially those of us with "wads of cash in our pocket", understand that there are better things we can do with our money
*Helping the needy, not just in our area or when we need their votes but across the nation!
*Build schools where they dont even know you, equip hospitals anonymously, sponsor University students without any fanfare and "Journalist's kleig-lights".
*Pay a few years rent, for the shop for all those poor women that Fashola's army of "KAI" keeps chasing and seizing their wares daily for hawking since they cant afford the price of those "Ultra-modern shops" in a million years!
*Go to the rural areas like Makoko, Ajegunle, Bariga, Mushin, Ejigbo (just to mention a few ones in Lagos alone), what stops you from sponsoring a 50-50, joint building project for them? They provide half, you balance the other half!.

I can go on forever, highlighting where Nigerians need our "rich people" (whether its their private Money, like Bill gates; or our looted patrimony, like many Nigerian Politicians/Military Leaders and office holders).

Our rich people should learn from the rich people in Western countries on how they impact the world, not just think about their own "personal, selfish interest", all the time.
How much has Bill Gates pumped into Malaria and HIV research in Africa? .... or is he the one that created HIV and Mosquitoes? shocked shocked
What about his One-Computer, One Child initiative? ...... Or na im born all of us for Africa?

I dont want to say it but it just wont go-away: Is it the same El-Rufai that was bulldozing "completed houses" in Abuja, when he could have seized those houses (for any contravention of building codes), sell them by transparent public auction and use the money to build low-cost houses for the masses after-all, the same "locations" have been re-allocated and built-up again, by those on the other side of the "power-show"!?

"The rich are dying of constipation ....while the poor are dying of starvation" readily comes to mind!

I might sound critical or even unsympathetic but honestly, l don't partake in all these "fake sympathy" that Nigerians chorus when such things happen, only for them to go behind and bad-mouth the man.
Say it openly so that others like me might learn a lesson or two from it.
And dont even think l am "poor" by any stretch of imagination. wink

Lessons learned, lets move on, the #Chibock Girls are still missing!
Dearis God uuu Oooo! shocked shocked

Lastpage!

Many thanks for your comprehensive take on this accident & avoidable death.
Nothing to add.

This reminds me of my days in the UNI. My cousin gave me a sports car. I was already racing my life to death when he came out of nowhere, took the car and sold it without as much as saying a word. Till this day, I still have this deep feelings that it was either the car or me. Because I was a formular 1 wanna be on Lagos roads. God has been saving me since the day I was born. Baba God no dey take me joke. Anything wey wan cause kasala for me, him dey take away sharp sharp - no time for nonsense. God, I thank you again.
