Na so life be dem don do me b4... But i just laughed at them... Mine was at calabar we boarded a bus on the highway midway into our journey after collecting money, they form as if the bus had problem everyone came down... Later they told some people to help push the bus, before we knew the bus started the conductor jumped inside off they left.

And before you blame the woman do remember that the economy is not smiling and to leave 150 for someone now is almost like economic suicide if this is hitting you well and do remember that she never envisaged that death or even accident will occur. Rip little child for the struggle to survive has yet taken another life

as much as you are right about the aboveo, you need to FIRST make sure that your children are safe before doing anything.... putting your children's life at risk because of ₦150 or even ₦1M can only be described as madness (IMHO)

let me give you a scenerior of the reality. Just yesterday at my workshop, my boss told someone to stay back and not join to the site but the guy refused and joined the motor. When they were offloading the contents, he had a deep cut that is capable of cutting off his thumb. In my place its said that no one asks for hot water to be boiled before climbing the palm tree

bro, when MONEY is more important than LIFE/SAFETY, then no wonder so many innocent kids/adults are dying everywhere. it is irresponsible f anyone to knowingly put their children's life at risk, for ANY amount.
