₦airaland Forum

Ishilove:
There is something fundamentally wrong with Nigeria. I wish I could really pour out my heart right now, but doing that will mean I will run afoul of Nairaland's Rule 2, so I will stick to just narrating the shocking and utterly appalling incident that happened to me today with as little vitriol as I can manage.

A caveat: If your attention span is a tweet long, or you have challenges reading beyond TWO paragraphs of any article (Summary Crew), kindly close this thread now.



I went to finish up a job in Tin Can, Apapa. Everything went on fine until it was time to pay up. I had spent way above my budget so I attempted to make payment with my bank app, but the network was on the bad side of shitty, so I decided to use one of the ATMs after Coconut bridge. I went with the head of the team I worked with, a man from one of the South-Western states and who I have known for a long time. Since it wasn't far, we decided to walk instead of taking a bike and stayed on the left side of the bridge, close to the ubiquitous container loaded trucks parked by the side.

The man walked in the front while was about a two steps behind him. We were close to the end of the bridge when I heard a loud screeching sound behind me, and before I could react, a bike slammed into me and sent me flying into the air.

I landed on my side in an awkward heap beside the back tyre of one of the parked trucks. Stunned, I tried to get up but couldn't, so my companion had to lift me up and dust my clothes because I was in shock. The God who keepeth me, who neither sleeps nor slumbers ensured I didn't have a single scratch on my body, but the...the...'human' who left the road to come and meet me lay in an unconscious heap, his leg tangled with his bike. It seem he had scratched his face on the hot asphalt very badly.

My companion led me to the side of the bridge where I sat down to recover. I sat down for about 3 minutes when I started hearing whispers. "dat na the passenger he carry." I quickly insisted that I wasn't the passenger, but when one of the truckers advised me to move away from the spot where I sat because "dem fit gather you dey talk nonsense", I knew something was off.



I and my companion, lets call him TJ, slowly descended the bridge and had gotten to the bike park when a passenger just arriving told me to go back to 'my boy'. Puzzled, I asked who 'my boy' was.

You're so lucky that it was just bike imagine if it was dangote trailer.... Aboki go take codeine finish enter steering of trailer............that's why dangote trailer kills people that much............. These northerners are the problem pls be careful wherever there is an epidemic (yes epidemic) of northerners

Hi guys, I've been thinking of getting a used Chevrolet Camaro any advice's on getting used cars in Nigeria especially Camaros........thank u

fyneguy:
lol This is impossible.

South Africa to Lagos is between N120k and N150k. For 200 passengers, it would have been N30 Million (N150k x 200) and the Airline would still have made a profit.

What did he spend N280M on?

I can't believe some people can be this dumb
do u know hw much he spent on fueling d aircrafts
do u also know hw much he would av made had he commercialized d trips?
Ungrateful people like u ar d reason y good ppl don't show themselves

ThothHermes:
Soldier go, soldier come. Barracks remain.
The most enlightened person I have met on Nairaland, probably in my life left the forum without warning. Just deactivated leaving a lot of people perplexed.
He knew things that I would need decades of commitment to learn. I was really sad when he left. My interest in the forum waned.

That's how people of value roll. You are just an attention seeker.
Abeg do deactivate.

sorry pls who is that.... the intelligent guy that left
