If this can be taken to the front page, I will appreciate.

Greetings to you all.
I recently made this post about how I didn't fall dead victim to an accident, although got my bike damaged. I have been recovering from the physical wounds and psychological effects. If I have my way, I won't go into an Okada riding again. But as it is, I have to remain responsible by having something doing.

So many things got damaged in the bike: Headlight, suspension fork, fender, wheel rim and some other things that need repair/replacement and the repairer has come with N60,000 estimate to fix the bike.

Dear Nairalanders, I don't have such amount of money with me anywhere. Since the incident, I have rather been surviving on the little savings that I had, healing from the injuries and memory which almost took my life. Right now, I've nothing on me again, but I need to get back to work.


This is where I need you please, to assist me with any amount to repair the damaged bike and get back to hustling. I didn't plan and I didn't expect this at all. And if I have the money, I won't come here to do this.

I pray you consider me.

Thank you as you help me.

OdefaGirl:
Thank God for your life and may he provide better means of livelihood for you, look how sound you are and okada is your means of survival.


Why do trucks and trailers use other vehicles to halt their own? Why not speed into the bush, if there would be casualties...then it would be minimal.

Some of those truck drivers are just wicked.

Bro every sensible person knows death is imminent but no one wants a painful death. You should be happy for the gentle man not saying stuffs like that

The thing taya me o. At least him for just pass instead of commenting improperly.

Burruchaga71:
You survived today does not mean that you won't die again.

Sure. I just said it is not yet my time to die.

Dear all, please help me praise God for sparing my life, not because I am better than those who lost their lives.

You see, some things are better imagined than experienced and what happened on Tuesday is better left as imagination than reality. For the first time I saw something coming after my life but God proved that it was not yet my time to die.

Note: I may not be able to write much as I still haven't recovered from the shock, but I just want to share how God saved me. Also, am not a good writer, so dont expect the best.

The two links attached here reported the accident. You can check them and read on.

What happened is that the trailer was coming from Ikom side, going to Ogoja while the Sienna bus was coming from the Ogoja side to Ikom, heading to Calabar, in Cross River state.

As okada man, I was to carry a bag of cassava for someone and drop for the owner using that road.

So what happened is that I was on speed trying to climb the hill on that road. Then a sienna was climbing the hill too but a bit distance from me. That is, I was behind the Sienna from a distance. The trailer was coming down from the hill. What I would say is that the trailer failed brake and lost control too and rammed into the Sienna bus that was climbing the hill even though the bus driver tried to dodge it. I don't know how it is called in English that part of the road that has this natural deep pit from both sides of the road, that if a car by mistake leave the main road into the pit, the car will likely summersault many times before it will get to the bottom of the pit. I don't know how else to explain this better but it was that kind of place that the accident happened. So from what I can say is that, the truck driver was trying to avoid falling into the pit but wanted to control the vehicle till it will stop by itself on a flat land but unfortunately he rammed into the bus that was coming in front of it, dragged it down the hill as it was going till the flat land, killing the occupants. As the bus was been dragged down, I could hear the people in the bus shouting. A very terrible accident scene that nobody would wish to experience in life.

So as I saw the truck dragging the bus down on speed, closing up with me, and if my choice was to turn 360 and run, I would have been caught up in it. Instead, my mind quickly told me, to avoid being consume, drive into the pit, which I did, jumped out of the bike as it was going down the pit while I was also rolling down on my own, hitting myself from one tree to the other, and at the same time, trying to hold anything to stop myself, untill I was stop by a tree. I can't tell how the bike stopped by itself but it took the help of others to bring the bike out from the bottom of the pit.

Though I have wounded myself internally and physically, but is far better than those who unfortunately lost their dear lives. I believe God just wanted to give me another chance to live and testify His goodness.

The bike is seriously damaged and will require a lot to fix it. Same thing with my health. Still, i remain thankful to God for sparing my life even though for now, I'm in bad health condition and my source of survival which is the bike is gone too. He will restore all for me, amen.


May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

This is just Nairaland testimony, By the grace of God, once I can, I will do a proper one in church.

So brothers and sisters, help me thank God for sparing my life in the face of a fatal accident.

God bless you all and may you never die on road accident or experience it.

Certainly a man people love

Help rescue us from flood first.

Why this?

Where are we today based on Buhari 2015 manifesto?

How dare you compare China made things with original Nigeria made things

What is original about a poorly done job that has taken like forever?

Only God knows when this project started, dragging till today. Meanwhile China would finish this project in 3 months

Party of lies

So someone that was posted to a place in Bayelsa and the place is overtaken by flood now should do what?

It's in him
