Went to Lagos for Nigerian Flour Mill sales rep interview, went to sleep in my uncle's house along Agbara, he dropped me at volks park the following day to board a bus back to Ilorin, immediately he left I went to the bus driver n lied to him dat I have forgotten my credentials dat I wanted to go n submit in Ilorin at home dat he should refund the transport fare my uncle paid n only wanted to leave the park cos I don't like boarding same bus with some set of pple in dat bus. I left for mile 2, on getting there I met a bus loading with just 3 passengers left to fill up. Immediately I entered, a young lady also came in, remaining just one passenger. The lady requested me to help her to be watching her belongings while she went to buy some things at d gate but I told her is better we go together dat I also wanted to buy something. Lo and behold, before we came back three guys have already taken our space, which we complain to d driver n he told us he has nothing to do about it. Myself n the lady had to settled for the next bus. Unfortunate thing happened between Oyo and Ogbomosho express way, the bus we missed had an accident with dangote gas truck n all the occupants died on the spot. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

queenitee:Drain cleaners are also made with dangerous chemicals that can be quite harmful to the people using them. They release harmful fumes which can cause burns on the skin, eyes, and internal linings of the respiratory system. They can also cause serious burns and rashes if they come in contact with your skin 1 Like

I have had so many encounters with death, this one happened when my dad, my mum, my siblings and I were traveling home(Anambra) for my paternal grandpa's burial in November 2016 in our private car, we left Yola very early that day we got to Nsukka in Enugu state, around 5pm, there was hold up, so there was a Trailer that was carrying cows, behind us I don't know how it happened Sha, but all of a sudden it seems like the driver slept off, and lost control and hit our car on the back door, causing the door to compress, my dad and I came down and change am for the mallam, he was pleading and begging, he even offered to compensate us with one goat, since he had no cash, but we just overlooked it after other road users begged us too, we just left and went to a panel-beater nearby to fix the damages, this is part of the reason why I hate following those big trucks in a queue, or trucks following me, either ways, imagine if the trailer climbed the car and crushed us, indeed God is merciful. 5 Likes |

I've had a few, but the worst NDEs I've had were in the air. On three occasions I thought it was finally over and prayed my last prayers. I can state one here - Associated Air from Lagos to Abuja. They had these old Embraer turbo props that were literally at the mercy of Wx. On this flight, we were descending to land and entered a massive CB formation. It threw the aircraft everywhere except the ground. As we were been buffeted by the cloud, the entire plane got dark. People were shouting throughout the plane and prayers were erupting from every corner. At some point, the airplane rose into the air then dropped so steeply, I thought we had entered the ocean. We Carried on like this till we landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe. When we disembarked, I had shakes in my leg throughout the ride home. Few years later, the same Aircraft with the same pilot - Captain Yakubu, crashed with the body of a former governor. 3 Likes 1 Share |

jesusjnr2020: �� I had a similar experience when I was in my JSS 1 but in my case the car lifted me as high as 8 to 9 feets. Before the law of gravity could takes place, the gallon I was holding has already crossed to the other side of the road. By the time I finally hit the ground, it was as if my head was spinning on my neck. Everything around was just turning on their own. To my greatest surprise, I felt no pain, had no bruise... not even a single scratch. The driver was forced take me to a specialist hospital just about 4 minutes drive from the scene and after series of tests, the doctors said the driver must have brought the wrong person then they asked me to go home. Only God could do that such. My second near death experience was in my SS1/2. I and some friends frequent Ogun river to swim which was fun. On that faithful day, the tide was very high and as usual, we were playing the tag game. When it was my turn to tag someone, I chase these guys for close to 20 minutes but were not giving in then I became tired. I was swimming against the tide, my hands were weak then I went down. The first time the water pushed me up, I looked and I was my guys placed their hands on their head. Going in again, I remembered there was a mystery rock close to the spot I was. We called it a mystery rock because during the dry season we do see the top of it and the size is just about 7 inches. Sometimes we would swim to where it is, stand on it with just one foot then dive back into the river. So as the water pushed me up the second time, I pushed myself toward the direction of the rock and as I go down the third time which no one can survive, I found my leg on the rock and it was as if God had purposely planted the rock there because of me. After taking a breather for about 1 minutes, I followed the tide without much effort on my path to the river bank. I still believe God planted that rock in that spot to save me. My third experience was when I traveled to Ibadan from lagos to write Jamb. On my way back to Lagos at about 7pm, the driver of my bus recieved a call which made him to reduce his speed. Within few seconds, we say flashes of light which we later got to know was bolts from the trailer that was beside us which was now ahead of us because our bus driver had reduced his pace. We watched the trailer drift to our lane which could have hit our bus off the road into a canal which none of us could have survived. My fourth experience was just about 4 months ago and that experience changed my perspectives about everything. It made me to realize that everything we struggle for day in day out, everything we love and hold dear, all the wealth we've accumulated are worthless if you're not being lead by the spirit of God. On that fateful day, I needed some granite at site but the people I entrusted the project to have been ripping me off and intentionally delaying my project so I decided to source for the stone myself. After negotiating the price, a trailer was called to load the granite. I sat just down the slope where the seller placed her tent and while the driver was reversing, something told me to move away from where I was as it was directly opposite where the driver was trying to park his trailer to load the stone. Within 2 seconds of me leaving the spot, the trailer's brake failed and I watched it crashing into where I had just left. It took me just 3 reluctant steps but here I am today. What if I had ignored the silent voice that said get up and move away? If no be for God, where man for dey? 6 Likes 1 Share |

I can vividly recall when I was in Ghana. I rented a guest house with my friend, and we were there for 6 months. There was this faithful day and it was raining like crazy with heavy thunderstorm. The hall (parlor) was leaking and I had no idea because it was at the edge along the wall and the floor was wet. I was sitting on the chair while my phone is charging and I was busy chatting online. Omo the next thing I hear na heavy thunderstorm. E be like say them send the thunder for me, the thunder strike me very hard that throw the phone away and I lost consciousness. I was scared to death thunder really strike me for real. Omo I thank God that day. |

A week before my call up letter I went to the market to buy things that I will be needing in the camp as I was leaving the market I saw group of people so i got close to take a glimpse of what was happening , on getting close I discovered it was some group of magicians trying to extort money from people so I left without wasting time . When I got home I took my bath and ate and then lay down to take a nap , the next thing I saw was my room turning including my bed I couldn't really make out sense from it so tried to get up but it got worst cause i started having this faint feel I laid back on my bed with my eyes closed and then called my mum who took care of it . The second was two weeks before POP I was taking my bath the next thing I slipped and hit my head on the bathtub I was there for some minutes before I regained consciousness. I would never forget this incident sometimes I wonder why God loves me this much cause so many people have lost their life through this particular incident. Sometimes i wondered what my life would have been in that room if it wasn't for God that day , me in a bathtub without my Lodge mates knowledge and then after some days they will perceive some odours and they would trace it and discovered it was in my room and again a lifeless decayed body will be brought out . Nobody will know what truly happened but trust my Nigerian brothers and sisters they will definitely carry all sorts of rumours about me and how I died but I dodge am . 1 Like |

I was traveling to Bauchi state in 2013 for an admission screening in ATBU, the journey got delayed and we were late, I think there was curfew in Jos or North as a whole then cos of Boko Haram issues, the dry managed to evade the curfew in Jos.. the car was on speed and I was on the front seat beside the driver, it was a Sienna car, we suddenly saw flashes of of torch light and the driver tried to slow down but the break refused to work and the driver started muttering in language I don’t know, I immediately buckled my seatbelt and the next was gunshots towards us, there was shouting in the car, I only remembered the car running into something and woke up the next in a military hospital, the driver and two other passengers died from bullets, but I was not hit by any bullet, am still wondering how no bullet hit me knowing I was in front seat, I only fainted due to shock 2 Likes |

I had this accident while we were heading to the village in 2014 I guess. It was my grandma burial then , on our way , a trailer drove towards us from the corridor and our drive had to dodge that but fortunately for us we hit one of this filling station's gate and everyone was safe, forward to when we was coming back to Lagos after the burial , the whole family and friends was inside this big truck while coming back and it was night time already , our truck started jiggling , left , right , left , right , we all started shouting "Jesus " suddenly the truck fell into a stagnant water and the other side of the truck faced the ground , man thank God police officers were within , they had to rescue us that late hour and we slept at the police station. No one was injured. We got to Lagos the next day and guess what our driver who had to be my dad's eldest brother fainted the next day because when the truck fell , those who sat with him at the front seat pressed him down , he was the last to be rescued cos we had to break the truck glass before we could bring him out. Thank God for Life �❤️ |
