It was a cold Tuesday morning and I left my place of residence in Bwari, Abuja for Lagos via a commercial bus.
It had been a stressful week and I was fatigued.
So I decided to travel home to be with my family, since I hadn't seen them in months.
My dad and I
I arrived at the car park around past 6am that fateful Tuesday morning and the bus took off around 10am.
I prayed immediately I boarded the bus and slept off.
We passed through several states; Kogi, Benue, Edo, Ondo, Oyo and finally Lagos State.
But, en route Ondo State, I was awoken by screams and the awful smell of blood.
The speeding bus ran into a truck and somersaulted a couple of times before landing in a nearby bush.
Everything happened in a split second and all I could think of was my family who was waiting for me.
My uncle, cousin and I
I was strangely at peace even while suspended in the air, smiling, knowing fully well that I was safe with HIM-GOD.
The moment we landed passers-by began screaming: They are dead they are dead!.
There was blood everywhere and everyone else seemed to be unconscious.
I was at the back seat and watched as people came to carry the passengers down.
I alighted the bus unaided with no bruises, no bleeding and no broken bones!.
The only thing that broke was my phone's screen(hence the reason i haven't been active online).
The remaining 11 passengers were rushed to nearby hospitals because some were bleeding badly.
My next of kin was called and my dad and came to pick me up and took me to the hospital, despite my insistence on being okay.
I slept over at the hospital, so I could be observed for bleeding...
I was finally discharged Wednesday noon after a series of scans and x-rays.
I am grateful for being alive and being able to share this testimony with you all.
I am perfectly fine and in good health, although I would need to change my phone as I am posting this from a neighbour's laptop.
God is good and faithful and He never fails to keep us from harm.
