Eagle Eye Driver




Uber driver doing about 70 /80km/hr, on beautiful stretch of the Abuja airport road,the capital city of Nigeria, without any timely warning this bike man (motorcycle rider)  cuts from left to right,on a major highway with loads of cars zooming past on top speed. 

We held our breath, driver slightly slowed and veered  left - it was a near miss, a very, very near miss in inches. 

The driver's good reflexes and driving skill helped and he avoided running the bike man and his passenger over. It's not visible on the slow-motion part of this cam video, but I could see  how "wild with fear"  the passengers was as she turned around to see if this was probably her last moment.

Glad and thankful this accident never happened, cause even when you didn't do anything wrong and a fatal accident happens, without any physical injuries on your side, you're probably still scarred for life, when a life is lost on the other side.

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...

2025 into 2026

Its that day of the year.  It’s 2025, December 31st. And as has been my private tradition for the last 19 years, now that’s a really long time. I make this post on the last day of the year to Reflects and Outlooks It’s private because I share it only on this blog and nowhere else. My posting on this blog has almost ceased. Not because I don’t write, but because I barely remember to post here when I do find the time to write. Despite this, I never forget this tradition on my Blogspot. Interestingly, since my last post here on December 31st, 2024, this is my first time back. I re-read my last post for December 31st, 2024, into the year 2025, which ends in less than five hours from now. Looking Back at 2025 How was 2025? Did it pan out the way my outlook projected? I would say it did, largely. But above all, and most importantly, I saw God’s goodness. 2025 was a year of many changes. First, I left paid employment. It was quick, but the decision was well thought out. ...
