Thank God for mama

Say no to night travelling

Roads are bad and insecurity fills the country

Buhari is still in Aso rock

So, They were all sitting comfortably while driver was driving like James bond acting need for speed part 9 with their life

Sometime, Ekwughi okwu na egbu okenye, At times our silence can be bad

Thank God for her life.

But putting this picture on social media is uncalled for. I know mama isn't aware he snapped her dressed like this.

The driver obviously didn't have good knowledge of the road and overtook at a spot he didnt know there was a blinded ditch

Oh Lord

If you've lived in the very far north, or you're going to the very far north, you'll realize that night travel is unavoidable.

It's actually avoidable
Just that night is cheaper

I once travelled from Kano to Enugu with a luxurious bus... We left by 5pm and got to east around 8am ...
People were just sleeping and snoring... I couldn't..
But can't try such anymore mehn...

He might have seen it during the day... Who knows
And moreover fatigue can be a factor
