if you have a car , you would understand that most times it's not intentional. just have to watch how you walk on the side walk.


You just said my mind.

To my own best of knowledge. Though you stated clearly that the perpetrators of the act did not show remorse.

I want to say being in position of a remorseful driver. It's unavoidable at times. I am not talking about Lagos persay. Even in some local areas.

The roads is a major cause and impatient on the part of drivers!

It's unavoidable in most cases but the gesture or attitude after it happens means a lot and can determine judgement!

God should just get me and OP a car or more to help a change of story.

I remember when I was in Final year at the University of Lagos, I had just finished my second semester exam and decided to go home to rest for a bit after exams. This faithful Saturday morning, it had rained during the night and so I didn't see no reason why I should not go home and enjoy my weekend. I put on one of my best clothes and headed out. I boarded a Danfo bus heading to yaba, the road was flooded and unfortunately for me, the drivers windows were out. I sat down majestically at the front, on getting to WAEC busstop, a Sienna car drove past on high speed, splashing water and soaking most of the passengers in the bus. Through the back windscreen of the Sienna, I could see the lady in the front seat turn back and was laughing hysterically.

I had never felt so downcasted in my life as I felt at that moment. I thought it could never get worse until I got to ikeja and another slowpoke splashed water on me, I could feel the tears build up in my eyes as I wondered what I did wrong that day or if I was jinxed.

It's been 3years now since that fateful day, heading towards Lagos island now, I saw a Honda car with plate number LSR5... , zoom fast and splashed water on a cart pusher, the driver loved what he did and did it again to another passerby, I felt so angry in my spirit that I had to get the plate number of the car and write out this piece.

It's so bad that alot of car drivers feel they have made it in this world and that Pedestrains should be treated with disgust during raining season. This is a bad attitude and we must put a stop to this.

Thanks for reading.

It’s not intentional sometimes, the car could get into a big pothole and splash water or the driver might have underestimated the level of flooding.

I drive a car and I would never intentionally splash water on a pedestrian. Blame the roads.

To be honest have been guilty of this . Although I came out and apology to the man and even wanted to give him a ride but he refused my offer but accepted my apology.

Reading comments here and I know why Nigeria is the way it is ! Same people that will be complaining of abuse of power by elite abuse others in unfortunate situations with glee then be crying when other people abuse them - when u drive in the rain it must be in your mind at all times that there are pedestrians walking and I shouldn’t splash water on them - I know a fool who splashed water while driving and when I cautioned her was shouting about how she didn’t do it on purpose - but will not happily accept that a driver who splashed her too did not do it on purpose - do unto others as you want them to do unto you - stop behaving like animals under the guise of “I didn’t do it on purpose “ if you are driving in the rain and you are not extra careful so u don’t splash people then it’s purposeful - stop being an idiot !

So anyone walking is a poor person, and anyone driving is a rich person.

Poverty and harsh economic realities means that even the basic acquisitions are seen as luxuries in Africa.




Poverty consoler ....well done ....o

I swear its not intentional. If the roads where properly constructed with easy flow of water such won't be happening. U hardly see such on Bourdilon road if I am right.

One TukeTuke Audi taxi did it to me on an untarred red soil Benin road, and did not even apologize. I quickly looked for an empty container, scooped the mud and ran after him, caught up with him at a bad spot where he slowed down and splashed the whole mud on him. He charged for a fight. But his passengers restrained him, told him he was wrong cos he didn't apologize.

I have to turn back to change my wears. Since that incident I don't wear white during rainy season if I must trek

fecking pauper bad belle they are oppressing me mentality.

very few commuters are happy splashing water on pedestrians. it is however an unfortunate occurrence that will happen when you have deep puddles and bad roads

better stay inside so no wicked people will use thier big cars to splash you

This nuisance has been around since time immemorial.
Before being able to afford of buying a car, you were a victim, after getting a car you become the perpetrator of what you went through in the hands of water splashers!

The best solution is only to be EXTRA CAREFUL when driving during raining season and be MORE AWARE of your surroundings.

But truly, 30% of the time, splashing water on people is not intentional, you can't just avoid it,
And throwing stones at the windscreen of such cars is not intentional also...it's only on impulse.

But please. let us STOP doing the latter, it's barbaric, TWO WRONGS do not make a right!



She was laughing hysterically?!
These are the ones that are supposed to be taught a lesson and it won't be considered as barbaric!
