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 guarantee our safety? For how long
can the blood of Jesus allow decrepit vehicles
convey us from Abuja to Lagos?

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.

The blood work wonders. Shouting the blood of Jesus is spontaneous to me and it never disappoint. Only if you believe.

Blood of Jesus works wonder......

Are you done??



If not for the precious blood of JESUS Our Lord and saviour u would have been long dead and buried I weep for u in advance....try to think more and talk less

Nice write-up but what has the blood of Jesus got to do with this article

The truth is that it actually works for those who believe in it.

And a bus carrying Muslims students from a secondary school for their executive meeting had an accident was that also because they were depending on the blood of Jesus

In your next article learn how concepts are joined and not what you wrote up there...

If you have any personal qualms with the blood of Jesus endeavor to specify please.

People like you are the reasons why we have a lot of atheists. What a religious bigot.!

This is a rare thread. Please don't deface it you with your so-called faith. Christianity is not stupidity. I am a Christian too and I don't fall for cheap emotional gimmicks..

God doesn't not respond to your tears, it doesn't move him one bit. He said my people are perished for lack of Knowledge, not the inability to accept Christ because that is a gift. Knowledge is not a gift. You seek it.
