I cannot forget this day October 25th which mark my 20th birthday. It was about 5 years ago, I was coming from work along Lagos Ibadan express way. It was on a faithful Friday, commercial vehicles were so scares and I was really in a haste to get home. I had to wait at the bus stop for a commercial bus for 2 hours before a pick-up van drove to my side. I wasn't the only one standing at the bus stop for vehicles, to my surprise I saw people rushing into the waiting van probably to carry some goods, I couldn't imagine myself boarding such but I could also see some distinguished men and women heading for the vehicle. ( sometimes it is good to allow your ego to control you.) hmm mm I just throw away my shyness and headed for the vehicle even though it was filled up but I just squize my self in. I manage to get to lean on one of the sides of the van.
So we started the journey. The speed at which the driver took off wasn't good at all and I was scared, About 10 minutes later unknown to me the iron rod holding the side of the van where I leaned on removed on the high speed and I was the only one that went with it! I got unconscious so I fell flat on the express way while the van was still on it high speed. My co-commuters started shouting for the driver to stop. The driver eventually stopped after the long shout, and everybody ran to my rescue because a long heavy vehicle was coming from afar off with unlimited speed and I was still laying unconscious on the express road! Thank God they carried me on time before the long vehicle was near.
As at still that time I wasn't still aware of what was going on. They start to pour water on on me till I regain consciousness. I opened my eyes but I still can't fathom what really happen to me. The driver carried me to sit beside him in the front seat. I was taken home which was already night, 8pm precisely. My mum was shocked and sad when she heard the whole story. As at that time I haven't still regain my sanity so I was placed on the bed to sleep. I woke up exactly 12am in the midnight asking for food because I had not eaten anything since because I do fast on my birthdays.
Though I sustain some injury on my head which almost damage my memory as a result of the fall.
