Amadaz: The fact that non of these has happened to you simply means you are just lucky! Or probably you've been driving in the streets of Abuja. I've also been driving for more than a decade, and i've neither hit a vehicle nor a human being, though I've been hit several times especially in Lagos. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Amadaz:some times it just beyond you...iv also bin driving for over 15yrs and never hit anyone but bin hit a couple of times but alas this year while driving on an express way one okada man just tried crossing without looking and just stopped right infront of me. It was an unavoidable hit. He flew into d bush while ma car was badly damaged. Thank God he didnt die, everyone around saw it clearly dat he just was at fault. I took him into his town, where his friends and family was n got him treated there...the comminity where he was were so good that even his folks didnt use sentiments to judge, when they all heard wat happened they clearly rebuffed the victim. And later protected me from police wahala. I began to wonder why I couldnt have just gone to the police but everyone I told simply said I wont want to go thru police wahala...and I just had to believe cuz before I left they were already hovering looking for who to victimize...the community know how they extort and make issues out of nothing...really its just the police that could have bin the safest place but here in nigeria ud end up being a bigger victim for trying to put ir trust in the police even though they still remain the safest heaven when in such situation...may God help the police so we can trust them more 1 Like |

I see the consensus here is to either run away as fast as you can and away from the scene or report to the police if you wanna take a chance with your life. While I understand the reasoning behind the actions which is the risk you of becoming a victim of the angry mob, I feel this has definitely turn us into animals, a beast without conscience. We pray to God the most and I still don't understand how we expect blessings from God with this mindset, both the barbaric mob and the runaway driver. It's no surprise the country is currently the way it is. As humans, we have lost the love for our neighbor and no empathy or selflessness. We have become selfish and could care less before burning an innocent person or in the case of the driver, abscond from the scene without our conscience pricking us. We have more religious organizations in every corner than most countries combined yet our heart is filled with the most evil. Every man has to take responsibility for his action and the earlier we start doing that, the better for the nation collectively. We have to fix our conscience, the government can't fix that. |
