When people use the vernacular saying ‘who no go no know’ it
takes a person who has really ‘gone’ to understand.
It is now a fact that Nigerian roads are death traps, the
Benin-Ore road is however not just a death trap, but also a potential grave
yard. The causes of accidents on this road range from the bad nature of the
road, reckless driving, vehicle faults and to some people witch craft.
When accidents happen on this road you hear people scream,
bad roads o! Bad leaders! Hey devil! But has anyone ever thought of the fact
that some accidents on this road are caused by mere mortals, without
spiritual powers. People who are high enough, to rob others in broad day light.
One very sad one happened recently, (transport line
name withheld), a bus plying this road encountered these thieves who think robbing from
motorists has become their birth right, and as the driver tried to do the
sudden reverse, the car began to tumble and in the end two lives were lost.
Many lives have been lost as a result of these robbery attacks.
Can people attribute this to witchcraft or are these
hoodlums now witches without supernatural powers?
These are mere mortals sending people to their early graves
because they claim to have suffered enough and have chosen the faster way to
wealth. If mistakenly these robbers are caught you see them begging for second
chance like they gave the lives they took the opportunity to even beg.
When these robbers stand on the way, they are mean looking
and their countenance scream “no mercy” they shoot randomly even when they don’t
know what it means to get shot. When they have had their fill, the “quick
response” police officers come shooting in to the bush that gave these robbers safe
passage.
‘NIGERIA GO BETTER’ there is no doubt about that but the
only hard and fast rule to this is, it
begins with ME and YOU .
