How many times do you see people getting killed like in America?

So you are saying there are no hit-and-run accidents or drunken driving in Nigeria? undecided

By the way, how many times do containers fall on top of people from trailers in America like it happens in Nigeria?

America is unsafe country.
Forty thousand people die each year of road accident in america.


And 79 people get killed every freaking day by guns. Yeap I said every day !!!! Let that sink in people. Truly a Made In America Carnage. Mass shootings alone in 2022 up to 212. I have been a gun owner since 1999 (4 guns to be exact) and have had my concealed carry license since 2013. Now I am all in for banning all assault rifles. Time we do something regarding all these shootings.

If I live in america I would have anti bullet juju in my body.

What a sad news...


As a black person, living in Europe, UK and/or North America, never walk on the side of road where vehicle is coming behind you.



Racist people will just drive into you, and since it is from the back, you will never see your death.




Better, walk on the side of road where vehicle will be coming in your front, if any racist tries to drive into you, atleast you see and do your best to run away....

Tributes from family and friends have poured in for a Nigerian, Patrick Ohanta, 45, who was hit and killed by a car driven by a drunk driver while standing by the side of a kerb in Pineville, Louisiana.

According to friends who knew him, Patrick Ohanta popularly called “Pato” had arrive America only 6 weeks ago. He was an alumnus of the University of Ibadan and a keen footballer.

He had his promising life cut short in the auto accident while walking home from a job interview at about 5.20 PM.

Louisiana State Police Troop E and the Alexandria Police Department responded the accident that killed Patrick. APD believes impairment was a factor in one of the accidents.

Police say, Patrick was attempting to cross the Curtis-Coleman Bridge when he was struck by a vehicle driven by a 29 year-old man from Pineville. A preliminary investigation conducted by the APD shows the man drove onto the shoulder hitting Ohanta who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver was taken into custody at the scene. He was booked into RPSO Jail and charged with driving while intoxicated – 4th offense, operating a vehicle while under suspension, reckless operation of a vehicle, and vehicular homicide.

A GoFundMe to support Patrick’s wife and family for the funeral has been opened.

APD is looking for witnesses who may have information about this incident. Call the Alexandria Police Department Traffic Division at (318) 441-6408.

Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation.

That juju crap is a myth. Do you have any idea how much USA military budget is every year. I give you a hint $766 billion. Russia is $80 billion while China is $120 Billion. If that juju crap is for real trust me USA won't mind spending $8 million on each soldier to create an army of 100,000. Those are 100,000 people we know we can send to war with the expectation that they will all come back alive. We will be in a constant state of war trust me.

Patrick's death have dealt a very bad blow on his family which will leave a very bitter taste in their mouths forever! They are inconsolable.

Three weeks after he got there, he got a job as a Brand Ambassador of one company in Louisiana. He was really moving fast. It's saddening. ���� embarassed
