Was almost kidnapped in the market by a ritualist, the jazz don already hold me but God intervened. It was only him carrying a nylon I could see on that busy road, he first touched my back and said "follow me". I kept walking gently behind him and everywhere was just deserted, next he took a turn, stopped and said "I said you should follow me".

I didn't know what just came into me and said shout blood of Jesus, the hypnosis just left me immediately and I had to run to the next turn in the market...that was when I started seeing people around. I began to cry cus no one knew I went to the market that day (went from my work place to the market). That man would've slaughtered me into pieces for rituals.

Prayer works 100%, thank you Jesus.

2001 religious crisis in Kano State. I was staying with my uncle in a predominantly Muslim area (Brigade). The rioters broke into neighbouring compounds and killed and looted. When they got to our compound and broke through, one of the rioters recognised my uncle (a police corporal then) as the traffic warden who was kind to him sometimes back. That was how the whole Compound was spared. They told us to leave that area as soon as things die down.
My uncle's wife was heavily pregnant at the time. When things mellowed, we fled to Bompai barracks.

Mine was on a fateful Sunday last month. After debating if I should go to church or not, I went.

In church, I danced like David danced. After the close of church, an uncle stopped me to greet me. I was laughing with him when I took a wrong step - My knee twisted. and the next thing I saw was myself on the floor.

I started crying and couldn't stand up. I was in so much pains. Well-meaning church members came to my aid as I was crying, carried me to a room as I couldn't walk, and a doctor was called to check me.

Herein lies my testimony.

After he checked and cleaned the injured knee, he said "let me just check your BP, are you hypertensive? I said "No sir"

He proceeded to check and went quiet.

I was like "what is it, sir?" He said, "Your BP is very, very, very low" if you hadn't had this sprain, you'd have gone home thinking you were healthy only for you to pass out or slip into coma."

I was duly placed on routine treatment. It's been 5 weeks now and I just started walking properly after the knee injury but I thank God for delivering me from the spirit of death caused by hypotension.

God is real.

2018 when police checking of phone was so high, a Policeman shoot at me and missed just because I refused to give him my phone for checking. The beating me and my guys gave him after I noticed he missed sha!. He broke 4 ribs, broke his left leg, broke his nose and was in coma for a week. We got arrested and spent 2 weeks in prison before arranged in a court and grant us bail.

About 4 months later. Dude sent me a threat message (don’t know how he got my number). Already I don join Army Mess, so I reported the matter to barrack. Military police (MP) picked him immediately! The matter almost made the DPO lost his job but las las everybody calm down and dude signed undertaking that if anything happen to me he is a finished man and then my elder brother told him face to face in front of everyone that it will be an eye for an eye if anything happens to me cheesy

I once stepped into a sinkhole filled with water at wethdral junction. I thought it was a little puddle and stepped into it while trying to catch my bag that was falling. Well,it wasn't a little puddle at all t,the water was up to my chest and my feet hadn't even touched the ground yet .

I didn't know how to swim and the only reason I was floating was probably because I didn't move or panic.my mind was just thinking"huh , so that's deep".


Eventually I was pulled out by bus drivers and went home wet,a bit stinky and very grouchy.

I had an ectopic pregnancy without knowing I was pregnant. The hospital kept treating me for typhoid and malaria. After fainting the third time a senior doctor examined me and requested for a pregnancy test. I was booked for emergency surgery because the pregnancy had ruptured and there was blood inside my tummy.

How I survived the surgery was a miracle.

I thank God I am alive today.

I was around 7 or 8 yrs, I wanted to follow my father travel but was disappointed I couldn't follow him, went into the bedroom to sleep, thank God for my younger brother that came in, and shouted, he saw my eyes were red, my head danged to the floor, my legs on the bed.
I saw darkness all round me, my spirit was traveling like a spaceship in space suddenly, I lost sight of everything that is when I came back to life.
I woke up in hospital receiving drip, all the upper part of my mouth was soured, I guessed they put spoon in my mouth.
Thank God I live to tell the story, I am in my mid forties now, have a wife and two handsome boys.

Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

The day I should have died...

I was in the campaign train of a politician during my service year in Afuze Edo state and we were traveling to Auchi from Afuze . I was the corp liaison officer of the local government where I served and so because our corpers were enlisted as adhoc staff during the elections to come, the politicians were courting my company a lot.
So, that night, we were going for a meeting in Auchi in a Toyota Land cruiser at top speed with full lights on, when our vehicle suddenly collided with an oncoming vehicle head on! This immediately threw our car into the bush somersaulting 3 times before coming to a complete stop. No airbags!
As it came to a stop, I was the first to speak and I asked, is everyone okay? I did that to check if I was still alive. Then I started to crawl out of the window which was just above me. Followed by two other occupants of the car. Only the driver could not come out because he was stuck. He said something was resting heavily on his shoulder. Somehow we pulled him out and his shoulder was broken.

Then someone made a call from there and a rescue team arrived and took us to the meeting.

That's the day I'd have died.

December 2021

I was running late for work so I decided to cross the ever busy lugbe road instead of using the Pedestrian Bridge.

I was with my roommate and we were making mockery of a mutual friend who always insist on using the bridge no matter how late he was.

After crossing the first lane, we were at the speed lane, I looked at my left and the only vehicle I saw was at a distance and I felt I can outrun it to the other side. On getting to the Middle of the road, I notice a Car overtaking and it was on top speed.

I decided to run back and allow the car to pass but sadly the car kept coming toward me, at the last second I stood still and the car just sped pass me, it was so close that it hit my phone off my hand but by some miracle, the car passed me.


Sadly, the guy next to me wasn't so lucky, he was hit by the car and died on the spot. I was shaken, I had PTSD for weeks.


I live to tell the story.

I had goose pimples reading this! I'm like WTF! Thank God for your lives. Imagine going to bury your mum and this happened!

Somehow, I have this distrust for peace mass. When I was in Uni in Enugu, they were notorious for bloody accidents, since then, I avoided them.
