You would have gone to jail for manslaughter and from what you wrote up there you would really have deserved it. You didn't care a life was almost lost as a result of your carelessness. All you were just doing was trying to absolve yourself of any blame. You are heartless.

Oga I didn't hit him, he did. I was on my lane when he suddenly dashed out from where he was standing with his sisters. Apparently, they were waiting for the road to clear before crossing, but the stupid boy for his own demonic reason tried to put me in trouble. Everyone around there knew it wasn't my fault

themanderon:
You don't know the average Nigerian is naturally wicked? We only show empathy towards another if and only if it affects us directly. If it doesn't we just don't care. Shebi children as young as 2 yrs are in the forest and yet our government has not declared a state of emergency and launched a manhunt for the kidnappers. They are more interested in reelection. The ogun state government even organized a festival at a time like this. Many of us are just plain horrible.
What annoys me about this one is that he was just trying to shift blame to the child forgetting it was his car that hit the child. He only became concerned because he realized he might be liable to the accident. I just imagine how someone that reason like this would be in real life.

Car TalkHow Long Does It Take To Get A Driver's Licence In Nigeria? by FarSide(op): 3:02pm On May 29
So, last week, I was involved in an accident with my new car. The victim, a boy of about 10 years laid lifeless on the road. Though it wasn't my fault but that a story for another day...

At first I thought it's just an accident, maybe if the boy dies, the parents will now carry him and burry. And maybe at worst, it's a bad name, people could be suspecting me of murder... Anyways their opinion I thought. After all it's not my fault .


But then something struck me. I have no driving license! That's when I realized I could be in for a long thing. How can I clear myself at the police station. I could be charged for murder and I will be doing a prison term for it.

At that moment, I started sweating profusely. I realized a single act of negligence (failing to get a driving license) could land me in serious trouble.

But then, my African instinct came in, a consolation I thought. I said to myself, if this boy dies, I will be going straight to a driving school that promised to help me process my driving license and get it instantly at any cost. With that my offense could be dismissed as just an accident.

Well, lucky me, I took the boy to the hospital and he survived. Drove home and grounded the car. Moved straight to the driving school to process the license. To my greatest surprise, they only gave me an enrollment form to fill that day and told me the process will be continued after 26 working days!!!
I was like "sir, is there no way to fast track this?" He said no way. That was when I realized there is no shortcut to freedom had the boy died from the accident. Well, I'm still patiently waiting to continue the processing and get a valid license. Though I drive the car once in a while but I'm extremely cautious. And I pray my chi will see me through.


Lawyers in the house, what do you think would have been my punishment??

My fellow new drivers, do well to get your license asap.

Tell a trusted mechanic to buy for you. It's better he cheats you 50-100k than for you to go and buy a bad engine by yourself
I'll definitely go with a mechanic but I just wanted to know the price range

Ok thanks. I really appreciate
Osgilliat:
Just go to Jiji to compare prices. Call the sellers on phone to negotiate and if you are okay with it go to their shop to verify and take your mechanic along.

Foreign AffairsCan Iran Win Israel And The US?? by FarSide(op): 9:33pm On Mar 10
I really don’t understand how some people can come online and say Iran is “winning” this war. Let’s forget the U.S. for a moment, if this were a football match between Iran and Israel, there wouldn’t even be a draw.

Israel hasn’t lost a single soldier so far. Iran, on the other hand, hasn’t been able to hit any of Israel’s important targets. Most of what they do is fire missiles at cities, and Israel’s Iron Dome stops at least 9 out of 10 of them. In other words, Iran hasn’t scored a single “goal.”

Meanwhile, Israel is striking carefully and precisely, hitting government and military targets, even their top generals, and giving civilians a chance to evacuate. Imagine the power of having full control of the skies, flying fighter jets above your enemy, and being able to hit your target without opposition. If Israel were just bombing indiscriminately, the numbers of casualties in Iran would already be staggering.

With or without America, Israel would dominate. Why? Simple, Israel has air superiority, and that changes everything.
