So, buying a car can make one senseless?
If you have a car, you won’t be asking this question.
Double your hustle.

if you have a car , you would understand that most times it's not intentional. just have to watch how you walk on the side walk.



Did I hear you say side walk. Some few weeks ago I was in a keke the next thing I saw my white has turn muddy .
Today again as I was coming it happened again luckily for me I was not sitting on that particular side of the keke.

It's not oh.


Abroad you won't see ppl getting splashed unnecessarily cos you won't see potholes

Everywhere has potholes. Some less than others either way most roads 'abroad' are curved so that rain water runs to the sides, reducing rain damage long term. This creates sides with pools or water. Though I don't think splashing people is a 'nigerian' thing, others do it to, it's a 'stupid people' thing.

I am not surprised at the comments I'm seeing. It will even be worse than this in years to come. Values are gradually dying out. No sense of Empathy and humaneness.

I remember when I was in Final year at the University of Lagos, I had just finished my second semester exam and decided to go home to rest for a bit after exams. This faithful Saturday morning, it had rained during the night and so I didn't see no reason why I should not go home and enjoy my weekend. I put on one of my best clothes and headed out. I boarded a Danfo bus heading to yaba, the road was flooded and unfortunately for me, the drivers windows were out. I sat down majestically at the front, on getting to WAEC busstop, a Sienna car drove past on high speed, splashing water and soaking most of the passengers in the bus. Through the back windscreen of the Sienna, I could see the lady in the front seat turn back and was laughing hysterically.

I had never felt so downcasted in my life as I felt at that moment. I thought it could never get worse until I got to ikeja and another slowpoke splashed water on me, I could feel the tears build up in my eyes as I wondered what I did wrong that day or if I was jinxed.

It's been 3years now since that fateful day, heading towards Lagos island now, I saw a Honda car with plate number LSR5... , zoom fast and splashed water on a cart pusher, the driver loved what he did and did it again to another passerby, I felt so angry in my spirit that I had to get the plate number of the car and write out this piece.

It's so bad that alot of car drivers feel they have made it in this world and that Pedestrains should be treated with disgust during raining season. This is a bad attitude and we must put a stop to this.

Thanks for reading.

He who goes to the waterside should not complain when he gets wet.
I expect it when walking near the road. No complaints when i get splashed with water. Wetin I dey find for dia in the first place.

@Broadsway

It is your responsibility to be mindful when walking next to a puddle of water on the road or a flooded road on a rainy day.

As a driver as a mater of caution and safety I never plough through a flooded road with my vehicle, but the responsibility ultimately lies with you the pedestrian because between you and that motorist you have the most flexibility.

Most times is not all times.





It simply shows most nigerians are selfish and self centered.

When i drive during rainy season, i always remember people walking by the side lanes and moreover if i speed on water too much , especialy muddy water my car will get stained as well.

So please car owners be considerate about other people using the road. Remember when u guys were using those leggedz benz before your precious car came into the picture .
Just be considerate ,it wont hurt.
