”God saved me yesterday. I was in the car with my wife and 3 friends. While speeding between 80KM/HR to 100/HR on Lagos Ibadan Expressway yesterday morning, approaching Mowe, immediately I overtook a trailer, I landed on spilled diesel along the road…

“We were rolling and turning on speed while I drag the steering to balance. The more I tried to control, the more it skidded. Vehicles behind us had to slow down while watching a terrible accident unfold.

“Everyone kept hailing me as a good driver for not applying brake until I was sure but it wasn’t me, it was God. I didn’t know how massive what happened to us was until the crowd explained it shouting “Olorun lo yo yin”. “People had their hands on their heads like

“We contemplated going back home but our minds wouldn’t go off Osogbo. A ti lo, a ti de. Na God we praise”
