In the event of the unfortunate death of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour due to an accident occasioned by tyre blowout and the fact that Nigerian Drivers do not go through driving school, it has become pertinent for me to write this.

There are 6 simple steps to take within a maximum of 2 minutes and you will be safe, these by the grace of God I have been familiar with for decades. They are as follows:

1) DON’T PANIC in the event of a blowout, calm yourself down fast and PRAY IN YOUR MIND because your car will start misbehaving and you need to take charge.



2) Hold FIRMLY to your steering wheel with both hands, NO VIGOROUS TURNING, as you concentrate on the road and your mirrors, in seconds study the movement pattern of the car. Your car will naturally swerve to the direction of the burst tyre.

3) Gradually take off your foot from the accelerator, DON’T EVER ATTEMPT To PRESS THE BRAKES, IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE A 95% CHANCE OF A SOMERSAULT. The car will decelerate gradually while you concentrate on the road to avoid collision with any other road user.

4) Disengage the gears of the car by shifting to neutral (N) as you still maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and put your eyes on the road.

5) After a while depending on your initial speed, your carwill  come to a speed less than 60km/h when it is now safe to GRADUALLY apply the brakes and navigate to the sidewalk.

6) Ultimately, it is now safe to put the car to complete stop and turn off the engine. You have just saved yourself and passengers from the untimely death.

NOTE:
Of course, everyone in the car will be in a panic mode BUT this is NOT THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THEM, it is TIME TO CONCENTRATE AND PRAY!

Anxiety attacks

Can I really do this? Am I good enough? Will this project work out? Can I ever get this job/contract? How would I know the right man?  These and other undisclosed intimate questions have been fighting for a space in my mind lately breeding fear, worry and anxiety. I do understand and believe that I have a father who cares greatly for me. I Peter 5 vs 7 spells it out “ cast all our burdens on him because He cares ” but why do I still worry about life issues? Why do I get depressed when am not going at the pace I planned or getting the desired results? Why does it seem like a dead end sometimes?  It’s simply because I still wear my pride like a badge and cherish it. Pride and Anxiety come in a full package. What’s the correlation between the two words Anxiety and Pride, you may ask? Just look at the two words, what is the letter in the middle of both of them “I”. A symbol of self. The truth is that you are anxious because you bear burdens not meant for you. Phil 4 ...

Before You Date Someone

Image
‘Listen for God’s voice … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’ Proverbs 3:6 Before you date somebody, ask yourself: 1) Am I free to be who I am? Paul writes, ‘Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be’ (Romans 12:6 MSG). If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!
