Ever been in an accident, How did it go? Mine happened some 12 years ago so here goes. The journey was from ijebu-ode in Ogun State to the state capital Abeokuta. My mum was to drive and we set off at about 4pm in the evening as it usually takes a time of about an hour and thirty minutes to get to abeokuta ( Her pace tho). It happened at some kilometres past odogbolu. The expressway had 4 lanes, 2 for those going and 2 for those returning and all was going smooth and well until we caught up to a trailer on the road. The trailer was on the fast lane not moving too fast so the cars ahead of us had to overtake using the slow lane. All the cars in front had gone past and we were next to go past and we did, but after getting past to about the midsection of the trailer, the trailer swerved suddenly to the right towards our car and mum in a bid to dodge also swerved to right hand side of the road, as she was trying to dodge, the right front tyre of our car went over the asphalt section of the road unto the gravel section (N.B: the sections of the road were not level as the asphalt section was higher than the gravel section). As that happened, the car was going towards the bush and so she turned it towards the road and the car oversteered and the car was going towards the fuel tank of the trailer so she swerved again and from there, it was just clearing of bushes till the car came to a stop. After the car stopped, my door was the only one that could be opened as mum's side had been blocked by a tree. As i opened the door, i was running about in the bush confused till i remembered that i wasn't the only one in the car. Other cars and commuters on the expressway stopped to help pull the car out of the bush, the trailer that was partly responsible didn't stop. It was only after my mum was helped out of the car and returned to the expressway did people discover that she had been lacerated around the neck region by the seat belt because of the style of cloth she was wearing. We returned to ijebu-ode that evening, the car was fixed the next day and we had someone drive us to abeokuta on the third day. For about a week after the incident, i was experiencing serious body pains. Grateful that no life was lost during the incident. Share yours if any. 1 Like |

You see this aboki people riding byke in Lagos, avoid them. One almost ruined my life. How two byke men collide with each other on a lonely and wide street is what I fail to understand up till now. It's a mystery. 5 Likes |

Obviously dazed Then next thing , Ah na you ? Wetin happen?

I was just sitting at the ground thinking about my life. Na hell fire I for go straight if talk say I die that moment, e sure me die. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mine was 14yrs ago. Along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. I was trying to avoid a pot hole. Suddenly, a trailer hit from hard from the back above the culvert, landed on another car outward Lagos. It was around noon that very day. Everything went blank and dark but I could mutter words to those who assisted and gave my girl friend's number since she was close to Lagos. My brain was just saying, accident but I wouldn't know why I wasn't scared. I remembered the fist hospital rejected me. I was later transferred to LASUTH where I was diagnosed of Spinal Cord Injury T10-L1 level( Paraplegic). Since, Igbobi was the special hospital for such, I was moved to Igbobi. I spent 6months on bed. Another life started on wheels. It was a traumatic situation but I give glory to God. He gave me the courage, wisdom and another chance. to move on and start all over again. I started and completed my Undergraduate and Post Graduate programmes. I have a good job, I drive and also, married. 12 Likes |

Some years ago back in school, I boarded a bike toward a market in town, which was about 10 minutes away. Half way through, the bike I was on clashed with another (both going at high speeds and opposite directions). The road was a little bumpy and both bikers wanted to swerve to different paths, but it was like they had the same path in mind Lol. They got too close before they could change their minds, and they clashed. I don't know what happened to the other biker and the passengers he was carrying, but the one who carried me lost a lot of blood that day. One of his feet got disfigured, I think the foot really scratched the ground. I on the other hand sustained a very bad injury on my knee. I could literally see my bone. In the end, someone offered to take us to a hospital, and we were both stitched up. It took me up to a month or so to recover from that psychologically as it was my first ever auto-accident. 2 Likes |

Motor somersault 2 times, I came out without a scratch (thank God for seatbelt), the rest had minor injuries. The vehicle - write off. One chance nko, dem use iron bar wan scatter “their papa” leg (no be my leg). Chai!, those guys are heartless. I was on treatment for about three months. No be small thing.
