Amen!!
I only wish the painters at Alaba Int'l Market yesterday were fortunate enough.
The metal ladder they were painting a three-storey building on fell backwards and made contact with a high tension wire. Instantly, their bodies were slashed and baked all over. You don't want to see it yourself, man. One could move his head at least and was rushed to the hospital with a keke. The other was worse off. Even the army had to clear a lane and stop a driver to take him to the hospital. You won't believe that the driver tried to escape, thereby incurring the wrath of the army who beat him to a pulp. The man was eventually taken to a hospital but frankly, no one believes he will survive.
We all have to look around us and find great reasons to thank God despite our difficulties.

PHIPEX:
I thank God on your behalf. I visited Ikorodu yesterday and when I got to this spot I noticed a truck laden with sand or gravel that was in a big dish. The location made me curious because it's exactly opposite where tanker exploded about 3weeks ago. Thank God for your salvation.

Something fast should be done about a speed breaker that is constructed on that road immediately after Mobil filling station, it's done halfway and the way motorists avoid it is a recipe for disaster.

I sincerely thank God for my life! I thank God for my mum's life!

My mum insisted I took her to the hospital, she had a hard time yesterday having her good night sleep (as her BP has been on the high), I had to take permission off work in order to take her...

Our mission was to go to general hospital (at ikorodu, opp high court), we left home at about 11.30 am.

We were coming from ebute (I stay at alogba estate), as we passed the mobil filling station and about climbing the hill towards general hospital, I noticed a big truck coming with full speed with its back, I immediately swerved to the on coming car's lane (fortunately there was no car coming), somehow, the truck swerved in that direction and all I could hear was a loud GBOA!!!, my mum was trapped at the driver seat and was in a serious shock, I ran down (instinctively) to start waving all the cars down(so as not to hit my precious mum. It created a big traffic but alas, the police came to take the cars to one side.

Bottom line is, I am safe, and so is my mum, no injuries (except minor scratches), we thank the lord!

YabaLeftist:
Thank God for your lives.







But your English sucks pretty bad, had to read it many times. Your mum is in the driver seat? Smh

He explained why. Please learn to read first before going off. This is serious stuff

candygosh:
I actually know that landslide very well and each time I pass by I just pray nothing happens cos the way pple speed when trying to descend is amazing.
No thanks to ikorodu people who have found a way to damage the speed bump placed there.

glad to see you n ur mum alive n kicking

Siena:


Yeah, yeah. He explained why - insurance or po-po requirement. Stuff that - with my mum trapped in a car, with a history of high blood pressure, protocol goes out of the window.

And then coming to post the picture on Nairaland - is that protocol too?

CityNG:


I mean what if the car then started burning?

Siena:

stonecoldcafe:


The guy explained why he did. This is Nigeria, and if he has to take a few pictures so someone does not begin to sing a different tune tomorrow - then so be it!

What insurance? Dude didn't say anything about insurance. Who does that in nigeria? He said the truck driver is fixing his car now. Besides you don't know how many seconds it took him to take those pics. The police were present too so you don't expect him to just zoom off without having a word with the truck driver! For this Naija? LOL

Finally if he wants to post his pics here and say 'thank God for me' again no harm. Most people have clearly rejoiced with him so...

Siena:




Regardless of what animals members of the NPF can be, I doubt they would have beaten the thread starter up, if he chose to get his mom out of a totalled car, made sure she was safe BEFORE taking pictures! I can't see what's so difficult to comprehend here.

stonecoldcafe:


No I comprehend lol. Were you present? Do you know what he did or did not do with his mother before the pic was taken?

stonecoldcafe:

lomomike:

Young man, stop defending what the OP did. He knowing fully well his mom has a history of HBP still left his mom trapped in the wreck, went to the front of the car, took pictures of the wreck JUST to SIMPLY satisfy insurance, ekelebe aka boys in black aka olopa aka po po and you blood thirsty gory sight hungry picture or 'adontbelieve' it crew of Nairaland. That OP is to me a wacko and should be tried for 'attempted criminally negligent manslaughter'.

lonngmann:
Congratulations o
You won't die before your time
You and your family will live to witness the new breeze of change

Siena:


No, I wasn't present. But I'm I telligent enough to know he did not get his mother out of the car, ensure she was safe, then shove her back in to take pictures.

Or did he? With balls of concrete swinging between his legs, anything's possible.
