Road Accidents in Nigeria and safe drive tips

Almost everyone has somehow suffered from this problem, some how our horrible healthcare system compounds. Either you personally have experienced or a relative, friend or stories about other people. No matter how much you take the airways you must have to use the road sometime. For me, this is more compounded when you have to go to rural Gombe and Bauchi for all those crazy World Bank projects and then you worry that this bus flips, what will happen to you seeing as you're miles and miles from any standard hospital. Crazy times I swear.
