Wetin people dey see for road eh, na only God dey protect person

God will take control of everything.

I've always wondered why most drivers run away after causing an accident until i witnessed one at new market lekki.....the trailer driver bashed and injured a keke driver and instead of finding a way to rush the guy to the hospital, those present (mostly touts) started throwing all manner of things at him huge rocks, bottles, iron bars, planks etc, his windscreen was literally shattered. the driver who initially stopped just took off, hitting like two other cars b4 gaining access to lekki- epe express way and still had like 5 bikes or there about chasing after him(seemed like those stuffs we see in movies) . now imagine what would have happened if he decided to come down from his truck. all i'm trying to say is when we stop taking laws into our own hands in this country, we move one step towards creating a new Nigerian. would have done the same if i was in his shoes and then report myself in the safest police station. cos even the nearest one to the incident scene isn't even safe.


IMO, all trucks in Nigeria should have a speed limiter cos most truck drivers drive like gods....rip to the dead.

What's the name of the driver please I have this familiar feeling he's coming from a particular bloodthirsty clan

Gimme a sec lemme check
