Having an accident, fatal or
not, is not something that anyone wants to encounter. Regardless, when it
happens, you have to look for ways to resolve the situation as quickly as
possible. This said, you expect some sane and normal actions taken by the
people at the accident spot. However, for Nigerians, it is different.
They completely do the opposite of what you expect and it can be very annoying. Here some of the
seriously annoying things some Nigerians do after an accident.
Leave their car on the road
When you bashed another person's car, you find them arguing and
exchanging angry words right in the middle of the road. They do not really care
if their actions result in a long traffic or notorious queue. Why can't both of
you get off the road and find a solution? In other cases, when a car has an
accident, you still find it at that same spot for weeks.
Crowd the scene as if they are watching a movie
Imagine an accident scene and people simply gather round shouting,
some crying, while others just watch what is happening like a movie. They will
not allow the emergency services to work and in some circumstances, the police
have to shoot in the air to disperse the crowd.
It is an opportunity for some to 'steal'
In a crowd, you find the good, the bad and the ugly. The mission
of certain people is just to steal. They steal phones, wallets, and other
valuables. They do not even care if it is the properties of the person involved
in the accident. Unfortunate!
Taking pictures
The technology age is here. The urge to take selfies and pictures
have made some people become uncaring and unconcerned about others. At an
accident scene, you find people taking pictures to post on social media just to
get likes and comments. Meanwhile, an individual is lying there in a pool of
blood.
Refuse to help the victims
This is probably the worse of all. You just wring in pain when you
see people around you but they refuse to ferry you to the hospital or offer first
aid. Sometimes, it is not their fault because the police may just come around
and accuse you of something you do not know anything about. Nigerians prefer to
wait until the emergency services and police arrive. But at that short time, a
precious life may be lost. Let us lend a helping hand.
