JOURNAL 1
Cool, Calm and Collected….. Is the best way to go in life, love and business? Can we say that, be that on the busy road in Lagos State, Nigeria. Naija all the way, with our entire lovely and SOME crazy drivers on the road.
See me see wahala or … almost wahala!!! lol! This early beautiful morning, i was driving jeje… being cool, calm and collected, listening to music which brings joy as always, i was on my lane on a double lane route around the airport way enroute Air force Base, Ikeja putting into consideration that it is not an express road or a freeway.
Na so i dey jeje on my lane driving carefully as there was a fuel tanker ahead of me, an SUV (i had noticed from my rear view mirror had been driving like a crazy) tried to overtake me. but the story is not in the TRYING to overtake but in the fact that there was a fuel tanker with HIGHLY FLAMMABLE fuel in it and there was another car in front of mine driving carefully by the side of the tanker, well common sense demands i wait for that one to drive pass as we were approaching a bend!
The main story is that my dear impatient Lagos driver, tried to overtake me while i was on the left lane with a car directly in front of me and a tanker beside the car … How nah! With a very teeny tiny window that a bat would even notice in the day time say…. No way here ooo!!!
This driver probably expected me to step out of my car and carry it to create way…..
This is my Diary; this cool, calm and collected Lagos driver nicely became a mad one oh! But i did keep to my lane ooo as i value the safety of everyone, the other driver after trying to overtake realized just as the car almost hit the fuel tanker that the only way that the car would overtake would be to collide with the tanker, so the driver sensibly slowed down.
Thankfully an explosion or collision did not occur due to someone’s impatience.
This is the diary of a Mad Lagos driver….
To all Lagos drivers…
Drive carefully…
Suru- Lere… Life has no duplicate.
