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.

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

Power of Social Media

So we approaching the last weeks in July 2015, am setting up and trying to know what it feels like working from my new office space within the GRA ( government reserved area) of the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. A key question for me is, how will I sort out my lunch daily? because it seems like getting lunch is going to be a challenge. As far as I know there are no eateries offering food delivery service in GRA Port Harcourt, unlike in Lagos my office is located in the hub of business Victoria island where its common place to find a range of eateries, pizza joint etc, all offering delivery services. Thank God for google I decided to do quick search online and voilà,! I found Chicken Republic in Port Harcourt. They now offer delivery to some locations in the city and they cover the GRA where my office in Port Harcourt is located. I placed a call to what seems like a central line for all Chicken Republic orders, the customer service center staffs was nice and well...
