This touching story was
sent in by a concerned Nigerian citizen. This shows the bad status of the
security and the worth of Nigerians to our so called Security and Law
Enforcement Officers. It also reveals how worthless and callous our State
Officers are to the citizen and mostly to the poor. Read sent articles below;
“In the last 1 hour, I have cried
more than I have in ages.
My baby brother and I were on our
way to Redemption Camp for the Holy Ghost Congress when we encountered a bit of
traffic on the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
I thought it strange considering
the time but hey…
We then happened upon a man who we
thought was dead in the middle of the road but as our car drove by, I noticed
he was still breathing. We stopped immediately. Another vehicle stopped too.
There was no question about lifting
the guy because we would have ended up in prison and charged with hit and run.
My brother trekked on Third
Mainland Bridge to try to find an ambulance while myself and the other guy that
stopped called the contact numbers of the police.
At this time, I was directing the
traffic on 3rd Mainland Bridge away from the body of the guy in the middle of
the road till he was moved to the pavement.
4 Military men passed on “Okadas”
and said “Eeeyah” and moved on.
The police passed by with sirens
and shook their heads. They didn’t stop.
A LASTMA official on a bike
stopped. He didn’t have a vehicle so he called his bosses who told him “they”
were not coming.
I was stunned. Then came a
policeman with the new vehicles given by Ambode and he called his bosses who
instructed him not to carry the guy in the “new” car. It wasn’t to be stained
with blood.
I broke down in tears at this
point. The reality was that the new police car was worth more than the Nigerian
life. This was my Nigeria. This was my Lagos.
We eventually stopped the ambulance
of the Gbagada General Hospital and the driver agreed to carry the man, ONLY if
the police escorted him”.
So I understand the
following;
1. I cannot help a
citizen who is injured because I will end up in prison first while they
determine that I am not responsible.
2. The Uniform is a
joke in Nigeria. It has no respect for the Nigerian life if you do not have
money.
3. The new vehicles are
better than the Nigerian life. Don’t have an accident near one.
4. I need to relocate
to New Zealand.
There you have it,
please dont hesitate to drop your comments on this ugly incidence.
