Fear Blinds

Some days back, my sister was driving - she try o, driving just after delivery - while mumsy was holding the baby, behind them was an old Peugeot 504, and behind the 504 a trailer. Suddenly, the engine of my sister's car went off and the car stopped in the middle of the road. Thank God, the trailer and the 504 came to a halt without causing injury to any one.

The 504 guy quickly jumped down and started raining abuses on my sister, this girl you nor get sense, you dey mad, you be idiot. Right then the baby started crying, marriage good sha, it brings respect. Hearing the baby's cry and realising my sister was a married woman, the man changed his tune, MADAM, why you go drive like that, na nonsens na MADAM, people nor dey drive like that.

They explained that, the car just went off and asked the man to assist them push the car off the road, you know what? He just sighed, got into his 504 and drove off. Mumsy and my sister had to push the car by themselves off the road while waiting for my brother-in law to come to their rescue. I sure say them go don smell and inhale exhaust fumes boku from all the cars wen pass. Car good ooo, but when e wan disgrace you, e go disgrace you finish.

When my sister was narrating she kept on repeating, Ha! people are wicked because no one stopped to help them. I felt for them and consoled them, and I said not everyone is actually wicked, it's fear.

Fear of the unknown. The kind of society we find ourselves, everyone is blinded by fear. Fear of carrying out a charitable guesture and it backfires, maybe you get robbed in the process. I told my sister nor reason like that, not everyone is wicked, because FEAR BLINDS.
But that 504 man, na fear still make am leave them? I think he is callous.
INFO OF THE DAY: Peugeot 504 won the European Car Of The Year Award 1969.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

hmmm . .i've had a similar experience,wz drivin home 4rm d movies one night @ around 11pm wen d car went off in a similar fashion,after checkin wat wz wrong,i found out it wz d battery dat wz flat and @dat time dere wz no "battery charger" in sight, i wz still far away 4rm home and in a very dangerous part of lagos,to cut d long story short,it waz a cab driver dat stoped and put his own battery in my car to start, we exchanged numbers and he even called l8r on 2 ask "oga,shey e never off again o". . .

So in my humble opinion,dat 504 driver wz callous cos he saw all dat had transpired and he still chose NOT to help after seeing 2 women and a cryin baby. Even to help push d car off d road @ least,he cudnt . .

Personally if my gut feeling says RUN, I run one time 'cause 90% of the time, it's always right. Shit happens in this country and I pray day in day out not to be a victim.

In other news, this na one of the reasons why I never force myself to go buy car. I don't know shit about maintaining one and if my own stop for road, I go look like complete mumu

We can't really scrutinize people because of their fears because unreasonable or not, it will always remain true to them. We all have our fears but it is also important to remember that it is up to us on how we act on them.
