I sincerely think that as Nigerians, we need to embrace science and technology, study it and understand it as much as we studied and understand religion and faith. It will do us a great deal!

I am devoted Christian, but the way we allow religion and faith kill us is amazing! You board a vehicle from a motor park, with driver, and instead of trying to check and ask questions if the driver is qualified, licensed, fit, not under alcoholic influence we’ll rather prefer to donate monies to fake preachers who board to tell you how people die on road accidents because they did not donate monies to pastors.

They preach and tell you how to cover the driver, vehicle, tyres and steering with the blood of Jesus, and we all shout a loud ‘Amen’.

Why do we derive joy in looking for witches and wizards, when we fail to do the primary things to guaranty our safety? For how long can the blood of Jesus allow decrepit vehicles convey us from Abuja toLagos?

I will prefer we have technical experts visit motor parks, instead of fake pastors, and sensitise passengers on how to spot inexperienced, unlicensed or drunk drivers, and what to check out for before boarding any commercial vehicle. They should advice technically on the conditions of vehicles before going on the roads. The bad side is that Nigerians are not good in voluntary assignments that do not pay and road users will not be willing to give tips to such volunteers. They prefer to give to men of God who threaten them with hell fire and dangers.
This is why I prefer to fly when on long trips, because the road transport industry and system in Nigeria is suicide mission, and has little or no functional regulatory body and so anyone can bring any vehicle and anyone as driver. Admittedly, our airways are not as safe, however, the industry is run by highly specialised professionals who have so much at stake in the event of any accident.

Created in February 1988, the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, which functions generally relates to making the highway safe for motorists and other road users, has failed and its purpose almost defeated.

A similar body, the Vehicle Inspection Office Driver and Vehicle Licensing Administration (VIO-DVLA) which primary aim is to standardise drivers’ license certification process and maintain a database of certified drivers and vehicles for the enforcement of road traffic laws in Nigeria, has also not lived up to expectations.

As the rate of road accidents increase in Nigeria on daily basis, it becomes urgent that the government looks into existing regulatory bodies or create new ones and mandate them to work closely with road transport companies.

I appeal we separate religion/faith from reality (science and technology) because if we have good vehicles, good and fit drivers and new tyres, the rate of our road accidents on our roads will reduce, while a large amount of the blood of Jesus would be saved for better things.

We all know speed is a major factor in many accidents. However, speeding causes not all accidents and not all accidents are preventable. Yet there are steps you can take to help prevent accidents. These include driving slowly when the weather is bad.
Replace worn tyres and brakes as needed. Keep windshield washer fluid full and change out windshield wipers on a regular basis.
Not only do seatbelts keep you safe in an accident, it will help avoid accidents as well. Seatbelts will hold you in place during an aggressive manouvre. Back off and do not tailgate or allow others to tailgate you.

Do not assume the other vehicles will stop just because the light is red.Do not drive behind an 18-wheeler on the highway. A blown tyre can cause an accident.
Do not rely on your mirrors when making a lane change. All vehicles have “blind spots” in which your mirrors cannot see. Do not ride in the blind spots of other vehicles.
Always keep your windshield wipers going in the rain. Defrost your windshield to keep it from fogging up. Turn on your headlights to help others to see you–this is also the law in some states.

It is always best to have a “designated driver”. Never drive after you have had alcoholic beverages. Even one beer can alter your ability to drive safely.
Always use your signal, even if you think no one is there. When changing lanes on the freeway, do not signal as an afterthought or during the lane change. Signal at least a couple of seconds in advance so others know what you are going to do before you do it.

neocortex:
If you truly did history , then you will know that checking Google is not
the definitive answer in this case.
Google will always give you whatever you want.

okay nice meeting you let's focus on our country anyway

neocortex:
We are talking about founding fathers not refugees.
If Europe becomes 70% Muslim by the year 2100 going
by the high level of immigration will
you then claim that Europe was founded by the Muslims ?

did you check Google the answer is no you didn't type founding father's religion and beliefs

neocortex:
Kindly mention a name we can relate with
except you want to tell me that the savages
who destroyed the native American population
were puritan christians, then Christianity must be the real
definition of evil.

Stop believing everything you are told in Sunday school.

actually it's history I studied it and I advice you check Google by 1954 Americans were 70-80 %Christians .by 1984they were 60% Christians but now they are 40% .their layed down beliefs were Protestants(Pentecostal) who fled Europe during the Vatican persecution (Catholics). but now america is a free state

cold:
Noise pollution. Only a dysfunctional society like Nigeria can permit this. You can believe whatever you want,but don't disturb the peace of others who just want to get on with their daily lives. I don't understand why religious folks are so inconsiderate of the feelings of those around them..sigh.

soul full of hate why didn't any body complain don't they play music in those areas tell them to stop it too

stanley10122:
say what you want OP, but that is noise pollution as far as i'm concerned...

close your ears

adedayourt:
Nigeria is a very religious country stil it rank as one of the most corrupt countries in the world

I don't understand you is it a force to comment .you must one of those people corrupting it or the lazy ones who blame religion while they themselves have not done anything worth worthy in nigeria

abduljabbar4:
Lafiya lau wallahi. Sometimes I just feel like someone needs to stop them. They stop at nothing to discredit Islam

when a pastor is reported a rapist he is crucified on naira land by both Christians and Muslims but when Islam does evil Muslims will either deny the story or defend them.you guys are weird

theAtheist101:
Then all Nigerian engineers should be Christian prayer warriors?

every has what work for them some people gain admission due to influence and bribe and when my score came out I passed but I was advice to pay bribe to secure admission but as a Christian family I rejected but prayed instead and I got first badge

raayah:
I come from a very religious background. I know a lot of people who have prayed and are stiĺl praying.

and I know a lot of people that just started praying and their prayers answered I prayed for admission to study engineering I got it

raayah:
Lol.. Christains!!

You just asked a question, I gave you a solid answer but you referred back to the bible.
Prayers do not work Shikena!!
Millions of people who prayed are still suffering.

The Jews (God's own people) after spending years in the concentration camp, suffering and dying like flies lost their faith in God.

There was a popular writing in the Prison wall by a prisoner, He said 'If there is a God, he will have to beg for my forgiveness'.

who be this one you know if the girl pray or you dey there when she dey pray

BabyDaddy20:
Who your ugliness don help ??

hahahahaha u wicked

people deny hell some say it's forge but no one can tell if it's real or fake we have heard stories yea stories but stories can't be trusted we have king James . but people don't give a damm about it so what do we believe. Christians preach hell instead of salvation .atheist are clever when they argue with their life .Muslims add their own join . wentin we go believe .anyway if hell turns out to be real many people go burn oh.if na fake we go just die simple non existence so make I just dey hustle my own

pls my fellow nairalanders this is a serious question that needs to be taken seriously I have a cousin who is waiting for admission at one university.He initially applied for mechanical engineering but he got a phone call from an insider that he can only study physics because all the places are booked now he is thinking if not to go for it because of no jobs please what should he do

don't dumb him smoke with him .useless question

I pity una wey im say money ritual is not real make dem cash una
