Every new day u see is a proof of the fact that we're all living 2 die. Why do we see a new day? because each new day we see we're aging to our graves. Every new birthday is a countdown 2ur year of death. We can't run away frm it. When death comes it will come like a thief in the night. Don't be scared because it's a process
Deep sigh !

It was during one of the fuel scarcity in GEJ tenure, public vehicles were scarce, I've waited for long at bus stop, a bus eventually stopped in my rear. I was going to hopp in but was stopped by the bus conductor. He in lie allowed another passenger coming behind me to occupy the vacant seat, I was really annoyed and disturbed for the deprivation. I waited for another and was lucky to get one in due time, we moved for just 5 minutes and met this bus (the one that denied me a chance) had lost his break and got spill over some barricade iron. I was really surprised at the view, many people at the entrance of the door were seriously injured. I could only stand and watch with my wide opened mouth. Ofcourse we live to die sometimes, but death can be very selective at times embarassed

That was before. PMT is now arguably the safest company to travel with. They now have speed limiters in their vehicles. Different companies have accidents with their buses but na only PMT own una go talk about. Well it's because of the quantity of fleet they have.


Ok oo, abeg I have three siblings that ply Umuahia- Enugu- Nsukka and so keep checking the drivers' speed limits.

Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

If not cos of tribalism, you Igbos should be queuing up behind Tinubu considering how many Igbo migrants in the West and Lagos state in particular where his policies have never discriminated against you bunch of ingrates!

Tell Nigerians why Peter Pandora Thief Obi should be elected cos from what we know he woefully failed as an ex governor of Anambra state.

Go to Anambra state and tell me Peter Obi deserves to become a president.

Feel into a 9feet swimming pool in the night with no one around to save me, almost drowned if not for some people that heard my noise I passed out that day


And I have always had this fear of death by water since I was little
Thank God for life. But why take the risk to swim in a 9 feel pool since you've always had the fear?

2010 during the Jos crisis. The situation was calm and I was called upon by my boss I worked for then to come with my digital camera so that we can go give out relief materials to those affected by the crisis,I decided to use the opportunity and withdraw money from the ATM at british American junction I took my girlfriend along because she also wanted to book for a ticket with abc transport back to Lagos. Immediately we got to abc transport we saw some soldiers at a check point with corpses around them covered with leaves. One of the soldier sighted the camera in my pocket and he immediately cock is gun and separated me from my girlfriend and ask me to slowly bring out what was in my pocket,I was shaking n even crying as I brought it out my girlfriend was crying too.i'm student,I'm student those were the words that safed me as I also flashed my unijos I.D card.

Lived with my uncle when I was about 10 or so, can't recall what I did, my uncle was beating me, he hit my head on the wall so hard that I started screaming but I was hearing my screams from a distance because I saw my spirit leave my body momentarily and then it fell back into my body , took some minutes before I regained consciousness. God saved me.

What are you talking about? If someone is not mad, Peter Obi was part of PDP that destroyed NIGERIA until a few weeks ago. Is that whom you call your saviour?

Had a head-on collision while doing a bungling overtake early morning. Both cars were completely smashed in half. Yet we both came out wondering what happened, as if we had just woken up from a nightmare. Not a single scratch on my body and hers. This was truly a miracle of my life. Whoever says there’s no God must be mad. No other thing saved me except God. Be kind to people and give alms to poor people, you will be saved from calamity. You won’t die a violent death.

In 2007, everyone has dispersed after the completion of our family meeting in Bode Ibadan (where we lived then). My dad and I was changing the faded posters of Prof Adedoja (of action congress) who is a contestant of Oyo Guber election (he was my dad's fav). The house is by the roadside and suddenly, we heard tyres screeching. Hoodlums alighted from the bus and started shooting sporadically.
Before they could get to us, we both fled but they destroyed his car parked outside, made their way into the house, broke all the bottles used for the meeting and met my mum in her room sleeping. She was stabbed multiple times in the head and they thought she had died.
Today, the scars tells the story.
The place is only about 1km to Baba Adedibu's house and everyone could easily guess who the assailants are.
We made headline in newspapers but more importantly, we are alive

I thought to myself, this is too much intelligence for someone who I don't think has that much capacity and to God you proved me right.

Got caught up during religious crisis in Jos in 2010. There were corpses by the road side and Hausa boys were almost on our car, banging and stoning... Some elders standing by told them to let us drive through, that they'd had enough of these fights.

That was how we drove through zololo junction to the University Main Camp with corpses lying on the ground....
A miracle

In anosecond I saw my life pass before my eyes as an oncoming, out-of-control Camaro crossed into my lane. I did all I could to avoid the impact, while thinking, "Oh, God, this is how I'm gonna die."

But then I didn't. The pulverizing sound of the crash was less frightening that the thought of what we would look like afterward.
The little economy car was totaled. Despite a severe whiplash and bruises, I managed to get out from behind the crooked dash, unbuckle the children in the back seat—crying and shaken but okay—and walk away.

That day, and for weeks after, I grew in gratitude for the preciousness of life amidst harrowing flashbacks and "what if's?"

We all know you are bereft of thinking but going to lift someone story as yours shows how irredeemable you have become
