The story behind the tragic incident at the Onigbongbo bus stop in Maryland, Lagos, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of escalating conflicts on our roads.
In the midst of rising tensions and unpredictability in Nigeria, it's crucial to prioritize self-preservation. When faced with potentially volatile situations, especially with strangers, adopting a cautious approach can be lifesaving.
The scenarios illustrate how quickly minor incidents can escalate into major conflicts, sometimes with deadly consequences.
Whether it is road rage, altercations with okada riders, or other incidents, the key takeaway is to avoid arguments with strangers and de-escalate conflicts whenever possible. If a situation starts to get out of hand, it is better to walk away and prioritize your safety.
Nigeria's legal system, like many others, has its limitations, and relying solely on it to resolve disputes might not always yield the desired outcome.
More importantly, no level of justice can bring you back to life. Your loved ones need you, and your safety is paramount.
Let's prioritize staying alive and maintaining peace, at least, this weekend.

This is a well-written post! It reminds me of how important preventive healthcare has become. Simple checks like a cbc blood test or an STD test help people stay ahead of health risks. Great to see platforms spreading awareness like this.
