Today is a great day, glory be to God. I spent the day with my immediate younger brother Akin and his family in Lekki. We went to their meeting in the morning and I returned home later in the afternoon. My brother has two beautiful girls and two boys. They are so sharp and make me laugh. The youngest child who is about three years old kept calling me ‘grandma’. What! Do I look like grandma?
On our way back, we witnessed a near fatal accident on the Third mainland bridge involving a speeding car and an OKADA (Bike)
The car involved was speeding so much and could not break on time as it approached the OKADA. It ended clipping the back of the bike which sent it flipping backwards with the three people on it being thrown in the air. We were coming directly at the back of the speeding car, but fortunately we were not speeding. If not, the three men on the bike would have landed on top of our car or underneath. Thank God for his banner, that forever protects. I was too shocked to take any picture which would have helped as the speeding car increased its speed and sped off without stopping to see if the people were ok. Thankfully, no-one was killed. It emphasized my view that these OKADA are death of wheels and should be banned. How can a bike meant for two people carry three people without any helmet on a Motorway. I can’t understand how people do not care about their lives by taking these bikes without any safety helmet.
It was a disturbing end to a good day. Yet, in all things I give God thanks.
