Omoapena: Overspeeding kills and that's on period. The only way to argue for or against is through experience, so let us save ourselves the mentions. The higher your speed, the less control you have on the vehicle. I cannot advise you to stop or slow down. Na your motor, na your fuel, na your life. But just know that overspeeding is bad and can kill. PS: This is not related to what happened to our dear friend, lest we deviate 12 Likes 1 Share |

izzou: So, everyone that have oversped, have died? See, there's nothing that cannot kill in this life, what you should know is, you can't always be careful when it comes to death... I'm not justifying overspeeding here, but I'm only trying to reshape your mindset so you don't assume every car accident is as a result of overspeeding... At what speed level do you categorize as overspeeding? |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by izzou(m): 10:33am On Sep 02 |
Omoapena: You see how you have twisted the whole thing? I said many accidents (emphasis on many) are caused because one of the vehicles involved must have been overspeeding. Where did i say everybody that oversped died? This is not even a topic for argument. The data is there for you to check. Accidents from overspeeding are highest, compared to others If you want to do 200, it is okay. I am not discouraging anybody. It was just an opinion i hold close. Overspeeding is bad And by the way, every road has its recommended limit. Doing above that is overspeeding. Lagos Benin is 100km. You are boasting of doing 150. That's overspeeding 10 Likes |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Omoapena(m): 10:53am On Sep 02 |
izzou: I didn't twist anything, and statistics shows that majority of road accidents is due to brake failure and not overspeeding.. The point is never to assume every car accident is caused by overspeeding. Anyway, overspeeding kills and who will do 200km/h on Nigeria road? ![]() |

Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Itsrm(m): 11:07am On Sep 02 |
Omoapena: Just as you know your car, you also know all the other cars on the road. You know that a bike man will not try to run across the road while you're doing your 150km/hr. You also know that your tire cannot give way. And if we ask about this car that is balanced and stable, e go be one Toyota jalopy with basic suspension Continue. 8 Likes |

izzou: Bro, let's not argue over it, you have already concluded in your mind that only overspeeding causes road accidents, you even said your statistics shows overspeeding is the major cause of raod accidents which i said it's not but brake failure. Someone even quoted you that container can fall on your car, which is also road accident but you still went ahead to lay emphasis on not exceeding 100km/h cox you believe people that had road accident must have done beyond that limit... Boss, have a blessed week ahead. izzou: |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Omoapena(m): 11:26am On Sep 02 |
Itsrm: See your myopic thinking, do you think I will do 150KM/H on a road that have intersections? I even said travel highway, which means no city around where a bike can just appear from nowhere... Infact, people that actually do above 120km/h at some point won't know they are doing upto that speed level, coz they could see the road ahead of them is clear. And one thing about car is, the little you step on the gas, the more it increases in speed and that little step on the gas gives car more stability on the road while the speed increases, so you might not feel the speed until you glance through your dashboard.. Then you said the car go be one Toyota jalopy with basic suspension, so, does that mean other cars that aren't with basic suspension can overspeed? 1 Like |

Omoapena what are u arguing gangan ![]() The major cause of road accident is over speeding. Even a primary school pupil knows that. Even if u are on a smooth free highway in space, over speeding can cause a vehicle to tumble and kill the occupants. The faster u go, d longer your vehicle will travel before coming to a complete stop after applying the brakes. The faster u go, d higher ur center of gravity when negotiating a bend. The faster u go, d shorter the time u have to react to sudden changes. The faster u go, the slower you are to adjust to your environment. Speed limits are advised so as to reduce the instances of mortality on collision both for the motorist and the pedestrians. These speed limits are for standard conditions o, not in Nigeria that nothing is standard. Therefore, in Nigeria u must knever drive close to the recommended speed limit self, talkless of exceeding it. U cannot change or dismiss age-long, experiment-based and evidence-backed facts just like that. I like you and will advise u never do above 100km/hr except there is danger to life. Better to arrive late than dead ontime. NB: Gazzuzz was not driving when he was involved in the accident. If the driver who hit him wasn't over speeding, maybe he wouldn't have died. As we pray for God's preservation and protection, we also owe ourselves a duty not to jump into fire and pray it doesn't burn us. 3 Likes

izzou: Lol @Need for speed is gone. That thing can be diabolical. 1. vibes on a good day. I think music influence speed 2. When one car just out speed one and you be like hmmm, never 😂 that’s how the spirit of speeding enters. Speeding is bad and I don’t encourage it, but once one is on the road anything can happen. We can only play our part and hope our days are longer. I’ll never forget the Sunday container fell on korope that had like the whole family in it. These korope guys always park at the entrance of the bridge to load and pathetic to say they still do this. Who do we blame for this? Even on Ikorodu road, they will stop in the middle of the road to drop and pick passengers. Sometimes it seem as if people’s lives are just in the hands of these drivers. Including the truck drivers too. |

izzou: Well, this is me thinking out of concern. I've thought about Gazzuz death severally and couldn't fathom why he has to go so early. Been thinking, what if he had done something differently, but then, the deed has been done. May God rest his soul. For those that haven't met him in person, they may not understand. I just keep picturing his face, his workshop, his ambitions, etc. But it's well. We can't rule out living cautiously though. That's why there's variation in life expectancy. The life expectancy in Nigeria differs from that of United States, because there are factors that will shorten your life more than the so called fate we want to hold onto as the determinant of our longevity on earth. 4 Likes |

YeyeGbami:Years back, when Mitsubishi L300 was reigning, I was on a first bus heading to onitsha from Enugu, early morning trip. One mad man (I don't know if he was actually mad, though he appeared like one) started crossing the road as we were approaching. Men, the driver was on 120/130 km/hr, he didn't touch the brake pad o. He smashed the man with the side of his bus and kept moving. Everyone in the bus screamed, only for he to tell us that at times they are criminals/armed robbers in disguise. Once u stop, e don be. Moreover, on a highway, that u don't just stop like that. But we know in Nigeria, if police catch u, wahala. Meanwhile, on my way back same day around 2pm, that same mad man was caught by the police at a checkpoint and they were flogging him with koboko ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |
