I will keep helping people if need be,just that I'm now wiser,more careful and I apply caution

I agree. Videos and photos along the way will help in such events so it's evidently clear all that happened

Nvc078:

The first thing I did was picked two persons from the scene to follow me about all that happened. This is crucial so you have witnesses


The next thing I did was looked at the time of the accident as it happened in my presence. I K ow humans have three hours to survive a dangerous accident and walked with that time frame in mind throughout


Three I made sure there was no delays. I had to walk on the road alongside two other individuals who followed me to clear the road of traffic. Even the police and army along the way joined.


Four, I only use hospital ambulance services to save the patient/victim

Nigerians and the attitude of walking away from wounded victims.

It still beffales my imagination why we continue to behave this way. If you won't get them in your car.

Do some good, make arrangement for public transport drop cash but don't be inactive in times of people's needs. Let's act sane and restore humanity to existence abeg.


The attitude of gather to look or snap pictures when need arises is inhumane, animalistic and irritating



I was passing by an accident scene and saw MY FELLOW NIGERIANS taking pictures no help. It wasn't till I reached six buildings away I realised no one helped. I had to turn back perform medical assistance to this guy whose entire frontal face fell of exposing his brains. With blood gushing uncontrollably. Nigerians brought out phone to take pictures. It took the entire day an event that ended 9pm but the guy lived. Thesedays when he's pallys see me around the hood they stand up to greet in ways that humble me


I learnt he was the breadwinner of his family. D the family would have crushed without him. On ntw, he breathed his final breather as he fainted the moment I had him dropped on the hospital bed. I got to meet with his family and friends. The doctors said if he arrived ten minutes beyond when he got in, he would have died. Imagine. And people would bring out phones to snap pictures.




Let's act right abeg

But we are the most religion country in the world, we never practice what we preach. It's only tithe , heaven and hell we know.

Our problem is our faulty system. People avoid helping accident victims because of how the police and most times the hospital turn the case against them.

I once helped took an accident victim to the hospital with my vehicle. When we got to the hospital I was detained by the hospital. The funny thing was that this lady was alive and was even telling the doctors that I was not the one that hit her. That I stopped to help get her to the hospital.

I was threaten with the police. In the end I had to find a way to sneak out of d hospital in morning after being kept all night.

Our system is our problem.

At least the victim in your case spoke on your behalf to clear your name

In my case, the goat was silent, meanwhile he knew the person had escaped in his vehicle and I was there to help carry him

See life

MiztaYouneek:


Exactly. Those that refused to help might not do such out of wickedness but just to prevent stories that touches. I know someone who had your similar experience so there was a day I was travelling along Benin Okada road and I saw people that were robbed with many injured and they were pleading I help carry some in my car to UBTH but trust me, even when I was just the only one in my car, I didn't carry even one person because I remember what happened to a friend of mine who did such. At the end police will carry you and even accuse you of being one of the suspected armed robbers and the rest story is another thing. Prevention is much better than story that touches and God will understand.

Stop this negative hogwash. I have one question for you. If you're a victim of an accident would you prefer to be left to die or someone coming to your aid even at whatever risk they may face. Tell me.

The rule is simple. In any accident case take along two people from the scene. The voice of a. Multitude can't be easily overlooked. That's why people always say you and you help me carry him and follow me. Let's not allow fear paralyse us from being proactive. Il do this again and again. I have a lawyer if anyone plays BS with me. A very very good lawyer

Can you imagine such wickedness

How did you make it out?

Rebranded Nigeria

Hmmmm

nwanyionitsha:
Make them no die sha.
If anything happen to any of them,he will judge himself for giving such help in Nigeria.
Police never do you something.
If you have never entered trouble by helping in Nigeria you no go understand.
I wish them all well.

You wouldn't say this if you were in same situation, would you?

Hello Nairalanders please I really need someone to give me 4k. I need it to clear some debt tonight. Plz if you know you won't feel anything giving out the money plz help you just might be saving a life. Thank you

Olushola fatuga. Thanks once again

Reminds me of the story of the good Samaritan. You'll never lack help in every ramification of your life. Next time though, don't beat your own drum. Be selfless and modest.

Bro, let's leave sentiment. If I find myself in that situation I will be happy to get help from anyone who helps me. But keep in mind that I will never see anyone who doesn't help me as a bad person because I understand why they didn't.

Then stop spreading panic. Rather give guidance on how to get it done. Worldwide one in such scenario is always advised to take two or three persons from the accident scene. With photos and videos of modern days such in eventualities of false allegations can be addressed. I'm chaotic systems, we need to look for ways out not to complain about chaos

my brother, two people followed me to the hospital. I didn't go alone. The whole thing was a surprise and a nightmare to me. Even those guys where literally detained till morning. Their reason. We can't bring an accident victim and leave the person without any of the relatives of the accident victim coming around.
My brother the problem is the system. These things need to be addressed.

firstolalekan:
This is Nigeria...

You can't really blame those people.


This a country where the good Samaritan may be treated as a criminal.

He may get arrested

The doctors may refuse to attend to the victims unless the man signs some documents (implicating) or ask him to make a deposit first before they attend to the victims

but they will stand and video the victim.....

lolzz. The goat got me. My brother, thats d system we found ourselves. Messed up system.

The problem is not that people will not want to help but the way police will twist the issue if the accident victim dies while being helped by an innocent citizen.

My brother na so we see am

Sometime last month at about 5:30am, was on my way to work and it just finished raining. Couldn't drive as my area was flooded so had to use a bus. Around VGC, as we passed, there was free flow of traffic and just as we stopped to pick up another passenger, I saw a Hausa guy shouting for help. He was on the wet ground with things scattered around. Not too far, I saw a truck( the guy apparently was a truck pusher). Seemingly while isn't was raining some few minutes ago, a car ran into this guy and the driver didn't stop. While other people avoided him and cars drove by, a silver Lexus drove past us and immediately stopped, turned in his hazard lights and went back to help the accident victim. What pained me the most was that the bus driver of the bus I was in and some passengers were making comments like " you de shout... Who wan come help you?" And while these comments were made, a few of them laughed. Like really? Wooow.,.. Where did we lose our humanity in this country? Whether Hausa Igbo or Yoruba, has life become so meaningless to us? My mind kept flashing back to that scene and I kept thanking God someone with a car stopped under the light drizzle after the heavy downpour to help the man...

That it is not you today doesn't mean it can't be you tomorrow..... Treat others how you want to be treated.

Till it is addressed don't blame those that didn't help. Helping in a situation like this is what we want Nigeria to be like, but it's unfortunate we haven't gotten to that stage. I truly understand you haven't gotten a close encounter with helping and police issue at same time so you are probably just thinking from the suppose angle it should be which is the right way to go. But hey, I pray you don't ever find yourself in any such situation that will make you regret your action. A soldier is not suppose to run from a battle field, but its only the ones that run that can tell the real story of what happened and that will be able to help others avoid such situation from happening again.

The usual insecure posturing brought about by insecurities and unsubstantative fear of Nigerians flawed thinking. I was involved in a serious case with police recently and the e tire force duffed their hat at how I handled a delicate a serious issue even worse than this.

Stop blaming the system for everything, who are the people occupying the system, are they not Nigerians like you? You will be surprised other hospitals might have responded to your issue more friendly. Most of these issues are caused by individuals, their characters and sentiments. The problem is that we have good people and bad people roaming on the same land called Nigeria.

Now you are speaking from your own very obvious good way of overcoming such situation. How many other Nigerians can do same when they don't even have a charge and bail not to talk about a good lawyer.

Even with all this you have said, I will advice you just keep thanking God you haven't had any bad experience with the police or military because there are situations were your good lawyers like you said will only come to your rescue after the damage has been done and after you have stayed almost a week inside police cell before they bail you. Even those your lawyers will be the ones to advice you on how to always respect yourself in certain matters.

From the way you sound, I know that police has not changed matters for you before and you have probably not been in a police cell before so please pray you never experience such. In Nigeria that I know, if police really mean you whether you know your right or not, or you have good lawyers, they will surprise you to the point that even though your lawyers can help, the frustration alone will make them tell you to avoid such situation next time. And that's probably after you have counted some good days in cell.
