Living in this world is a risk everyone takes in other to get through. Everything we do in life is a risk. To wake up in other to see the sunset is a risk we take that can lead to death. Same thing applies to our going out and coming In, some might go out and encounter accident. We all are just living by Grace.
There was this day I was coming from Lagos going to see my parent at their residence (otta ogun state) Nigeria. Although everyone that work or go through that axis knows how disorganized the roads are Talk less of when it rains. Whenever rain falls in otta just know you are in for it. Rain is never an option in that part of the state.
On my way to my parents place one sunny afternoon not knowing it will soon get cloudy. The moment I took cab from my residence at Lagos, the cloud changed dimension and was looming rain. Luckily for me it did not rain while coming from Lagos not until I entered Ogun state where rain had done wonders before I get there but was still drizzling. There was traffic, the roads where blocked, the whole road and gutter was flooded. At that moment one can't differentiate the road from the gutter all because the flood has leveled it up. Only those that drives there on a daily will know how to go about the road in other not to dive into a flooded gutter or drive inside a big pot hole. That is to say how bad the road is.
It was more or less like no movement. I was there in the tricycle I boarded for hours till we started moving slowly. Luckily for me, the tricycle I boarded knew he's way and was just making some turns to fasten the movement.
We in the tricycle were telling the tricycle man to go easy with the moves, he was adamant and continued, saying this is where he passes everyday
Well, long story short. This man didn't listen to us until he drove one of his tricycle tyre into the gutter and the whole tricycle tumbled while we inside fell and those that did not fall held on to the iron of the tricycle. I fell down because I was sitting by the side of the door and fractured the bone in my wrist .
Immediately it happened, all I could recall was, so this is how people die. I was lost in thought not knowing I fractured my wrist. Whenever I pass the road the incident happened. I still react to the scene like it just happened. It an experience I wish not to have ever again.
