Mine was in 2014. I was just walking down the street to a junction to get bread after a rainy evening. A police man with a gun strapped walked past me presumably drunk. A voice within told me to slow down and let him pass and give me a few metres gap. Almost immediately, he stumbled and released 2 bullet simultaneously, I just bent low and froze. Luckily, I wasn't harmed. I give God the Glory 12 Likes 1 Share |

Haryhomyidhey: Hopefully, there won't be a next time, but it is safer to have stayed in your car, than stepping out of it in that situation. Unless there's a fire, NEVER get out of a car with a power line on top of or close to it. Even at that, you'd have to hop out of it. There are YouTube videos to teach you this. Thank God for saving you though. 4 Likes |

Not in any order, these were my ordeals: While at a tender age, during xmas celebration. Man oh man, you know the exictement that comes with home cleaning, beautification and cooking. I was not to be left behind. So i had volunteered to go buy snacks for the kids who would come visiting our home that day. On my way, my neighbourhood kid, a much younger fellow had beckoned on me to provide an exclusive escort service, which i dare not reject, else i risk been tagged a bad name. So we left together. After getting all needed snacks and items, including some packs of knockout(banger) which i discreetly bought unknowing to my folks. We wanted crossing the road and before i could say "jack" this younger fellow was inches away from me to cross the road and there was an incoming bike motorbike that just manuevered a bend coming with full speed towards this lad. The only thing i could think of was to jump infront of this lad and ofcos used my body as a defense for him. Damn, i couldnt tell the tale of what happened next and so it was, i was hospitalized to only gain consciousness the next day. My only xmas on a sick bed... The next, was when i was more matured and was serving my fathers' land. Such a funny experience, cos i would have been shot and labelled a criminal. Here i was on my first alowee outer Camp and had to flenjure. I quickly placed calls accross and located a colleague of mine to crash over his end. I wanted exploring the cities within my service state and so i ventured on my journey. Arrived and my friend wasn't to be found, i quickly enlisted the services of a bar for a good hangout. Oh yes, the bar lived up to its reputation as i was spent on the cash i had and was damn eager for more albeit tipsy. I went out in my state looking to ATM's to get more cash. The time was an hour shy of midnight, and banks within the premises had their gates shut. Went to this particular bank and banged hard for someone to open up, with no one in sight. Boy!, I decided to scale the fence and gain entrance myself. On landing on the other side, i was rounded with guns shoved right in front of me. Was i scared? Ofcos i had all elements of alcohol cleared from my eyes. Then i realized my undoing. Was tagged all manner of names, damn it was a rough night. Long story cut short, i took some interventions from unkown persons to set me free the next day. I could have easily tagged a criminal or worsr shot dead. In all thanks be to God for saving me. 2 Likes |

A construction work was going on in our compound some years ago, i was close to the workers, chatting with them as they were working. My father's friend was around too to observe what was going on. All of a sudden, the man just told me to move backward, away from the wall that had just been raised up and was yet to dry. It was not up to 3 seconds he said that, that the wall fell flat, the exact wall at the exact spot where i was standing! My father was just thanking God and his friend because the chances of me surviving such a fall was very slim; in fact if one should survive, he may become paralyzed forever. We could only imagine what could have happened!! I still thank God everyday for the gift of life. 6 Likes |

May 1 1998. 3am. I was on night bus from PH to Lagos. Between Benin and Ore. The luxury bus (belonging to the most popular transport company in Nigeria at that period) slammed into a stationery trailer carrying concrete slabs . Driver, conductor and passengers in the first five row of seats all died. Before then, I always sat on the first row of seats in a luxury bus anytime I travel. But on this particular trip, as I went to buy the ticket at PH, as soon as the ticket attendant asked me; what seat do you want? ( I was number one on the ticket queue just because I must chose seat 1, 2, 3 or 4. But as soon as she asked the question, I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Everyone on the line started shouting at me to chose my seat and leave the queue. I struggled to speak but nothing came out. Someone from the back shouted that I was starring at the beautiful ticket attendants breasts. Still nothing came from my mouth. In punishment, the ticket attendant (was also shouting at me now to make a choice so she can attend to others) assigned me seat number 44. The very last row on the bus. And ordered me to leave the queue. I left in shock; me? Seat 44? But I was temporarily dumb. That was my saving grace. 3am, between Benin and Ore. I was asleep. Suddenly BANG! I still (very clearly) hear the shrieks, cries and moaning of the dying till this day. The night was pitch black. I have a slight scar on my face from that. Because I was in the last row, I was thrown forward and hit my face on the floor on top of some object. Another bus quickly stopped and offerd those of us with minor injury free ride to Lagos. What struck me with dumbness when I wanted to claim seat number 1? 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Not mine but someone I know. He was a ragamuffian in his youth days, he was as the club one night enjoying himself, everywhere dey bubble. A police man was seated with a rifle drinking and enjoying himself. Suddenly there was a loud bang and what he knew was that the person beside him feel to the ground, he was shot in the head by the drunk police man and died on the spot. At that point it dawned on him that if that was him where will be end up (hell obviously). He gave his life to Christ and he's a great pastor in my church now. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

jesusjnr2020:Mine was at many occasions. If not for this All-Time Able God Almighty. At the age of one or there about, I swallowed one kobo coin (1k). the original 1K and not the one indomie children mention anyhow these days. This coin used to be bold and heavy, so it got stuck inside me, along my intestine and miraculously, God forced it out without surgery after some medications. Same year, I lifted a heavy Charcoal pressing iron already heated with burning Ember, it slipped off my tiny fingers and dropped on one of my little legs. It remained there frying my leg as I couldn’t take it out due to the weight of the iron and the shock, until my mum came to rescue. At about 7 years old. I was got drown in a river in my village but was rescued not before I have collected some gallons of the river water into my stomach and was already unconscious. They had to press my stomach to get rid of the excess water before bringing me back to life. At about 9 or 10 years old, I was drunk and almost fell into fire when I was rescued. Twice had serious electric shock incidents that if not for God, I would have been forgotten. A lot of near misses. At another time, I was driving and lost control of the Car, maybe I slept off on the steering and the car summersaulted severally and fell into a ditch, a brand-new Toyota Hilux was severely damaged, but came out safe with a passenger with me. And so many that I may not remember now, but in all my God delivered me. To Him be all the praises, honor and glory forever and ever, Amen. 4 Likes |
