Suffer head

A while ago a friend of mine muyiwa posted this on my alumini secondary school group site,was really scared and thought it would make a good read-----


This is for those who may be tempted to think they got the world's worst problems.yeah it happenned to sanch just a few days back. . . .i was driving to ikeja to meet up an appointment in Virgin Nigeria and was caught up in a bit of a hold-up(traffic jam).The song on at the time was "devil's pie" (d'angelo), while mentally bopping my head, i reflected on my dreary finances which haven't been too good lately."aint no justice, just us"two weeks earlier, an okada man(commercial bike driver) had burst (torn better explains it)my only good tyre and i ended up having to buy 2 "tokunbo"(used) tyres. That was the good part.that weekend while returning home at night, some random shooting in my neighbourhood (which turned out to be a police raid [courtesy Governor Fashola's "Eko o ni baje"]) made me jam the car in to reverse, thinking it was robbers. In the ensuing confusion and melee i accidentally hit some girl and broke her leg. At least she didn't die, but that netted another hefty amount of money i didn,t have from my pocket for the hospital bills at igbobi."ashes to ashes, dust to dust"those thoughts in my head my car inched forward at the green light and suddenly i noticed some action in front. Some fellow was leaping from car to car on bonets, windscreens and boots progressively heading back. unfortunately for me, he decided to practice his carl lewis long jump skills just at my own car. and landed right into mywindscreen!!! i was temporary immobile, not believing my eyes. i would have tried to believe this was some joke, or a film, but i had to cover my eyes while gingerly brushing of shards of glass from my body (and getting peirced as well). I leapt out of the car and saw as the man was chased and batoned down by some cops. I quickly grabbed my camera and started taking shots of the man and the car and surroundings. while insisting on the man's arrest, he was released because it was obvious the man was insane. You know this is naija(nigeria) and madmen are feted on the streets as homes are considered too inadequate for their needs. Did i forget to mention, this wasn't my car. How to explain this extraordinary affair to her was still racing through my mind. So you may have guessed, the cost of replacing the windscreen landed unceremoneously on my head. The car had third party and not comprehensive insurance.They warned me and i no hear(did not listen). walahi (i swear)i no go listen to d'angelo for car again!!!!
