Bride and Groom narrowly escaped death shortly after wedding reception


 

Bride narrowly escaped death in an auto crash while on her way from her wedding. The accident involving a NNPC  tanker with number plate XG 321 MKA, a cargo truck and two saloon cars happened at about 4: 45pm on Saturday, close to the Otedola bridge, Alausa, on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
 
Punch reports;
 
Our reporter who witnessed the accident said the NNPC truck, while descending the slop from Alausa at top speed, could not hold its break. It then ran into the first car and squashed the second one against the cargo truck.
 
The bride and her husband were said to have jumped out of their car. When our reporter got to the scene of the accident, the groom was no where in sight. The groom’s elder sister who spoke to our repoter while cuddling her baby explained that they were just coming from the wedding reception of the couple. She was seen kneeling down and thanking God for their escape but refused to give the name of the couple.
 
The fire coming out of the truck was put out by sympathisers as the tanker was carrying petroleum product. The accident also resulted in  gridlock which was controlled by men of the Federal Road Safety Corps.

Just about everywhere in Naija is not safe. If its not Boko Haram in the northwest, Fulani Herdsmen in North Central, Kidnappers in the South East, Militants and Saboteurs in South South, then you'll have Petroleum tanker explosion and vehicle accidents in southwest and in every part of the country due to dilapidated roads.

Take Pride In Building A Home

As parents, there are some basic things we shouldn't turn deaf ears to. Even though it might be hard to be there 100%, at least some things shouldn't be ignored. Irrespective of the part of the country or the world we all live  in, this can serve as a general guide to all parents. Some people believe taking care of a child and instilling discipline in them is solely the role of a woman but honestly it's not. Togetherness in parenting I believe will bring out the best in our children

Birthdays Are Perfect Times To Reflect

Birthdays are always worthy of celebrating and it's that time of the year, most people look forward to. Many of us look forward to this day to celebrate in different ways/ grand styles.....Some spend it partying,  clubbing, drinking, praying etc. one of which I'm guilty of. Just recently, I pondered over life and realized, as each day passes by, minutes after minutes ,every passing hour, Time is just of the essence. That time is drawing closer and faster than we could ever imagine.The most scary part of it is, no one knows when?
