I was serving at Enugu state,I went out to get some food items.While coming back around 7:20pm I perceived something bad was going to happen I started jogging on a field which leads to the corpers lodge.Suddenly 3 tall guys in black started running after me.I thought I was in a dream,I screamed the name of Jesus then I fell flat on the ground with my phone in my hands.Thought of loosing my phone was in my head,that was 2006 I foolishly wanted to throw it into a compound near the corpers' lodge but as it fell from my hand one of them picked it and they turned back and started going.Then I realized how God had saved me miraculously.No rape,no dismemberment which was rampant as at then.

Please translate tha Yoruba for us.

Goes thus:

"How many does one need to narrate? And how many thanks? The death that could have taken one's life, if the only thing it did was to remove one's cap, it calls for serious thanksgiving".

Recall Akunyili, the former NAFDAC boss who was very effective at her job. She stepped on many toes but she solidly had OBJ's support. An assassination attempt was made on her life, but the bullet missed her and went thru her gèlè (headgear) instead.

Afterwards, OBJ provided for her one massive inpenetrative security details.

That is a literal example of the translation up there.

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.
Enugu is the exact state I was traveling from, this driver was terrible.... He kept speeding even when they warned him.

In 2007, everyone has dispersed after the completion of our family meeting in Bode Ibadan (where we lived then). My dad and I was changing the faded posters of Prof Adedoja (of action congress) who is a contestant of Oyo Guber election (he was my dad's fav). The house is by the roadside and suddenly, we heard tyres screeching. Hoodlums alighted from the bus and started shooting sporadically.
Before they could get to us, we both fled but they destroyed his car parked outside, made their way into the house, broke all the bottles used for the meeting and met my mum in her room sleeping. She was stabbed multiple times in the head and they thought she had died.
Today, the scars tells the story.
The place is only about 1km to Baba 0house and everyone could easily guess who the assailants are.
We made headline in newspapers but more importantly, we are alive

Even if they were at war with who you guys were supporting, there is an unwritten rule in war... No women and children should be hurt. Those guys will pay for what they did to your mom. Thank God you guys are all alive.

Mine was when i was just employed as a dispatch rider in Mushin Lagos. My speedometer is 110. Each time am riding the bike my mind keeps telling me " can i run 110?" So on this faithful day i was on oworonsoki express way with high speed of over 90. And a danfo bus was in front of me but with a big gap also on high speed. Suddenly a passenger tried to stop the danfo and the danfo reduced speed and trying to pack. I just bend my bike trying to overtake the danfo. Immediately the passenger mentioned where she was going and the place wasn't the danfo's route. The danfo just turned steering to enter express. All i could heard was parrrrrrr!!! I can't jump away from the bike because of the bus attached to it. The bike dragged me along the express. Only for me to just regained my senses but I don't really know where i was at the moment. Someone just told me " God save you" i ask which motor hit me the motor is no where to be found. Thank God some dispatch riders gathered around me. One took me on is bike to my home. while a man help me to park my bike at his working place till when my friend went to bring the bike home. Praise the Lord!!!.
Am still a rider. But always careful with maximum speed of 60

Did you sustain any serious injuries?

2016, I was going to meet my friend in Sagamu from Ibadan. The plan was for him to pick me up at Sagamu exchange/Sagamu junction along Lagos - Ibadan express.

I got to the junction around 7:30pm...it was already dark. I saw this family of like 5 that dropped from another bus anxious to cross the express... I remember the father shouting to his wife and kids, Go! As they ran to cross the road I was like, why is this man being overly dramatic. I turned backing the express to pee in the bush. As I was peeing, I heard footsteps behind me. Before I could turn, there was a shining stainless steel machete by my neck. Someone said, if you make any move I will cut your neck. Next thing, I felt hands in my pockets... They were about 4 of them, apart from the guy holding the machete to my neck. I could see they were teens... Like 17-19, and for a second I thought to fight them. But when I remembered they had a machete to my throat, and the fact that I didn't even know the area... They could be more in the Bush, I just let them rob me.

As they were going through my pockets, I was thinking of what they would do when they were done. There have been stories of armed robbers killing victims just for the fun of it. My heart started beating fast. But when they were done the leader removed the machete from my neck and asked me to go. I was walking away when he hit me at the back of the head with the flat side of the machete and shouted, "run!"

Mehn! If you see how I ran ehn. I ran up the bridge that leads to the road going to Sagamu on the other side of the express. I was lucky to get a car stop to pick me up as I had no money on me. (I had tried to flag down a couple of cars, but they kept zooming off). Also, I was also lucky that I had my ATM in the breast pocket of my shirt. One of them had struggled with it, but I guess when he didn't feel a bulge there, he just left the pocket.

Phone gone, wallet gun with important stuffs in it apart from money... But I thank God for life.

The issue with some of you is that you never ever ever listen. Why do you allow people to get close to your food and personal belongings?

1. Years back Jesus Christ saved me from an accident that would have claimed my life. I walked across a very busy express road which is opposite UNIBEN in Ugbowo, Benin City, I was completely absent-minded while walking across without checking for moving vehicles on the road , was almost knocked down by a speeding vehicle. But Jesus Christ intervened and saved me.

2. Years back, travelling from Warri to Sapele in my car, I was the driver. In it also were my wife`s in-law sitting at the front, at the back seat were my wife, her heavily pregnant elder sister, her younger sister, my 7 months old daughter and 2 years old son. On high speed, I drove into a deep pot hole which resulted in lost of control of the car. Finally, it hit the fence of a filling station and a heap of sand and summersaulted once. I came out of the window, same for others. No injury for me, the person at the front and my son, but little injuries for the others. It really pays to serve Jesus Christ, who saved us.

You're an elect of God, ordained right from the beginning to manifest God in your generation.
If what you wrote there is really true.
Draw closer to God, you will do exploits.

It's all true bro. Till today, I used to get scared when ever I'm about to cross a train track. Sometimes before crossing I do ask people if a train will be passing soon just make sure I'm not being absent minded again lol. Yes I'm a practicing Christian to the glory of God.

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.

Wow, thanks for sharing

Every new day u see is a proof of the fact that we're all living 2 die. Why do we see a new day? because each new day we see we're slowly aging to our graves. Every new birthday is a countdown 2ur year nd day of death. We can't run away frm it. When death comes it will come like a thief in the night. Don't be scared because it's a process

That is why we should prepare for death by accepting Jesus Christ and following Him till death.
