This mornin?

Look at that!
Those legs are gone!!
I hope and pray she survives it.

But Nigeria as usual, instead of taking her for emergency attention at the Intensive Care Unit, here we are, still taking pictures, and assessing damages!!!

But situations at times…
One minute to the time, no one would know such would happen.
Fifteen seconds to the incident, everything will still look as a normal day, until the very time!!!

GOD save us.

That was how GOD saved me in 2015 from boarding a vehicle to Ibadan by making me board a bus driven by a slow driver to Ojota.
People were complaining and angry that he is such a slow driver as it was like baba was driving at 40KPH or even less.

I as usual, would not interfere, but very much displeased with his speed as I was to return to Lagos same day.

I finally got to Ojota garage, and I just missed this vehicle which drove out, while crossed into the park, and I was like, "If not for that slow driver, I would have caught this bus at the terminal."

So, I had to wait for the next which I had no choice but to board.

Not long though, it loaded. An elderly man prayed and we moved out.
While we were on the way, just a little off Berger, I noticed our driver received a call. He answered with a sigh, "And said OK." I felt something and noticed he reduced his speed.

It was until we got to somewhere on the road, we saw the very previous vehicle on the side of the road, crashed. Some policemen were there at the scene. Men of the FRSC too were there. An old man was on the ground, twisted (dead). Some men, women, ladies were carried into the vehicle of the FRSC and driven away.

I saw a guy and another lady, who looked unhurt. I guess they were the only ones not hurt in the accident. The guy was having a backpack. Looks like a student though.

The first thing I remembered was the slow driver. I couldn't help it but thank GOD for making me board his vehicle.

Coming back, that was how two Dangote trucks were performing road rage at each other. This was the day I knew that trucks are fast too. Our driver was now telling us that, "If they had had issues or misunderstanding at their depot, this is how they fight on the road."

Every vehicle were on speed.
Some women in the cab were telling our driver to let them go first. But the man just said he will pass them by. Short, he overtook them and passed them by, only for one of them to leave the other and started chasing us.

Men!!! it wasn't funny!!!

Come and see how able bodied men and women were crying and screaming at the top of their voices! We were 8 in the cab, together with the driver.

The Dangote truck driver was directly trying to knock us off the road. He tried coming beside us, to hit our cab from the left side, but each time he tried to swerve right, he would miss. After trying tree good times, he stopped chasing.

Since that day, I stopped pitying truck drivers.
Most of them are murderers on wheels.

Nigeria::::: A cursed country
