Yeah #bright bravo#
Call 911 or Nigerian police duh
Yes i will! Selfishness is driving away. For all i know that person could have been my sister or brother. This should not even be a question.
Of course without any hesitation!!
If am a visitor in that town, i swear i myt fled but if i have stayed long in that town, i will definately help out no doubt.....

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Capital No, I will not stop, not in Nigeria
Your comment will be visible after approval
God forgive me but I will keep on driving. If I wasn't alone I would have stopped.
Yes nah.....y won't I help?
i will.. cuz i mite be d only chance he has to survive. So why not.
No, I won't . If it was in the afternoon, yes but at Night........ *this is Naija, anything can happen* I would drive away as quickly as I can
Why not........i usually hate when there is an accident and people are reluctant to help.Just imagine is your relatives in the car or your close friends won't you help them
I am a woman, if i stopped i might not even be able to carry the victim (s). The best I can do is to put an emergency call to a hospital or the police and pray for the victim(s).
Ohh dear, ds is a tuff one. I'll cal sumbody to seek advice on wat to do.
Linda in as much as I'll like to help,I think its sensible for me not to act like the good samaritan.The best I can do is to call any available security number!My prayers and the call for help should keep him safe(Using one stone to kill two birds...)
I would be too scared to stop but i will surely call the emergency unit severally as i can to make sure they get to the scene in time. Sorry this is Lagos and many things go wrong all the time even if you only trying to more so at that hour of the night on a lonely bridge....
Yes I ll help
i'll remove one one nuts from each of his tires to support his one tire and dat will get us both out of dat arena and we'll all be happy
Hmmm food for thought
Why won't I help him?
Yea...very sure will. No Matter the risk involved i triple sure will
I sure will....triple sure
Yeah I will stop and help, cox when mine happened at night, stranger I didn't know helped me, not minding i'll stain his fine car with the excess blood flowing out from my body or I might die, he had faith in me and I survived.
to be completely honest, fear wont allow me stop oh .....all these tv shows ave been watching has screwed with my mind oh. so i can't possibly come out of my car at nyt biko ...alone for dat matter ...i don't think i can oh
Yeah I would stop to help the victim...not all areas in naija are as bad or risky as u tink..even if it's 11.55pm. I'll help dat person, And besides, if it's a pot-hole dat caused that accident...it cud also be waiting for u ahead witout u knowing, Well, I dunno bout u but I'm a risk-taker. So I don't mind! So long I'm doing a good thing.
Why not. Of course I would stop to help
yes i will help
Sure thing, will def help! God never forsakes His own!
No!I won't cos I wil be scared.
I guess I would not.. its risky and besides dere z little I can do. but I will kall d police
11:55pm? I will never wait
Linda to be honest, I WILL NOT stop; I will be too scared at 11:55pm driving talkless of getting out of the car for anything other than to keep praying I get to my destination.
What I will do is to call an ambulance for him/her; there's little or nothing ordinary motorist can do in situations like that...
* My R1.50c comment *
Mba nu
Ofcourse i'll stop to help d accident victim
BOTH OF US CANNOT DIE AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL RUN FOR MY DEAR LIFE
I will dial 112 and give details of what just happened to the FRSC officials I will wait around but will not step out of my car or kill the ignition.
I will definitely stop. Dangerous as it might be stopping in the bridge, I couldn't care much about that..
yes i will stop and help out.
Yes. I'm confident enough in the watchful protection of God to keep me safe as I help a fellow human being.
Yes,but if It's not safe, I will call the 112 or 767.
Without a second tought, I'll park n help immediately.
Ola-Henry
Without thinking twice,I would definitely help out. I've stopped severally to help accident victims
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
hmmmm....tricky one. i will stop to save anyone i can. but my valuables will be well hidden...www.naijayabs.com
Why not
Wif outmost sincerity I won't.. Buh I can call 4 an ambulance or call d police stating d location of d incidence.. Jst dat it mite implicate me cos Ɣ☺ü» can neva trust d nigerian system..
Wat hungry nd pain can cause dat why we should very
careful with pple around us dat work with us also settle
them and evil one act work also..steadyman Say So...
too bad!! stupid boyfriend uploads her girlfriend’s nu’de pic
online when slee’ping [photo]
No. Because I can't help alone,knowing my yeye country nigeria.
yes i wil
Even if it is 2am I will
I WILL HELP CALL THE POLICE BUT WILL NOT WAIT AT THAT UNGODLY HOUR
Hmmmmm! That is serious. Thinking!!!
I will stop n help
Even if it's 2am I will stop
Will stop n help
Would drive pass,look 4 a nearby p.station 4 help....I may sound mean,buh na d country situation cuz am
ofcourse....why wont i help...d persons life may be in my hands dat moment....i will definitely help!
Yep, defo! *Darl*
Linda, why didn't u help the person cos I know this happened to you!
Well dat I can't really say
no oo cos it already late hour
No.
I will not stop immediately at the scene of the accident but will ensure to seek help from any nearest police station.
Sadly...No. I would probably park somewhere infront and try to call emergency services (if we have any). But while in America..of course I would
BECAUSE IT IS NIGERIA..MOST LIKELY NOT! BUT IF IT WERE SOMEWHERE ELSE..MAYBE YES. SHAME ON NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT! MADE THEIR CITIZENS TURN TO UNKIND PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION OF THE COUNTRY!
sincerely speaking too oo.. hmm u said 11:55pm and its lagos abi.. i no sure say i go stop oo
I may not at that particular moment, but i'll sure go get help for them ASAP
Wait Ke? For naija? I no fit. Will only try nd call emergency services. I know it's not right, but I have to protect my self first before thinking of saving someone else, cos if I dnt, we might both loose our life. #lobatan#
No, I won't stop.. This is Nigeria and not CSI Miami, besides I'm not a paramedic and we don't hav a national emergency number, I'd just drive to the nearest station or sumfin
Ofcourse I'll stop to help, I'll never feel good knowing that the victim needed my help and I didn't give it
I will think about dat!.....brb
Yes I will stop
I'm so sorry but no. He'll get help eventually.
Yes I will definitely stop and help the victims...and yes I am being truthful...the fact that I would be in danger of being robbed would not deter me from helping an accident victim. Life is worth more than whatever it is that I could lose by stopping to help.....so yes I would stop and yes I am being truthful!!!
I would, though cautiously, and quickly...that's not so late though.
No! I wouldn't. Cos these days goodness is often mistaken for wickedness. The least i'll do Is to call for help for the person,like make an emergency call.
Definitely yes I will.Done that b4 bt not that late. Bt I won't mind the time.
Yes if I was d only one on d bridge. No if there were other road users. Fred says so
I 4 ansa ur question but u no dey post my comment.
Hell No
I must comment
~~Marilyn
The truth be told...i most likely will not wait because of insecurity in our country but i will try to call up anybody i can e.g police,media person to let them of the accident.I feel ashamed admitting this but thats the plain truth.
Really, i would stop, because i know i would b of help(profession-wise)....but i would be scared...that place is real dangerous...ritualists, robbers and em others
Noooop!!! Sorrry,i wunt!! Its probably a set up,d country is too dangerous n evil!!! Am jst being careful
If am not under any emergence I wil stop $ help.
Yes nd No. If in d process of helpin d victim nd he dies, na anoda gbese 4 me. Nobody go wan no weda I help am or not.
hmm around 11:55pm... make i no lie oo i no go stop and e come be lagos again
Truthfully, I will stop. The reason being we (hubby, daughter and I) were involved in an accident on 3rd mainland one night and I will NEVER forget the kindness we experienced from strangers who stopped immediately it happened and helped... God knows I will stop.
lie lie i can't wait
Yes na....I go stop na....see question o...anytin wey wan happen make e happen....me go sha stop to help o.#bye
I 4 ansa ur question but u no dey post my comment.
I will pray and stop to assist the victim
Sure, I will, so long as it involves life.
Ofcourse! I will! I can't watch any human being die! The guilt will follow me till the day I die + what if I was the one in that situation
Definitely,I'll stop to safe a life or call 911/police
Yes I will, wats life living for if u can't give a helping hand at d time of need.
I wont stop. I'll drive till i find people and we would go back together. God forgive me me.
M sorry but I won't o....It is very risky and dangerous..would v loved 2 tho
I'm not helping .
Holy Ghost!
Will stop to see the state of the victim(s). If alive, call for help using emergency numbers and try take them to the nearest clinic.
If I assess that any threat to my life, I go carry go!
someone said "Nigerians will do anything but work out in order to loose weight". is this true? join the conversation on www.facebook.com/vesasports . fitness, health and wellness
Hahahahaha O.Y.O
I'll answer by giving u my personal experience. My hubby and I were coming back from a show on d Island around 2am in d morning and our tyre bursted on speed. No accident per se but we had to fix d tyre. Now, I was so scared dat I shit on d 3rd mainland bridge. I distracted him so much dat he cld not get it done. A few cars sped past us. And each time, I became even more scared. Then ds guy came, drove past, reversed, didn't come down but asked wat d problem was. We told him. He now came down, joined us to fix d tyre but no headway. Guess what, he drove us to his house in d dead of d night and we slept over in his house. We went to fix d car in d morning. Our car was not even tampered with. All d jewelries I hid under d seat were intact wen we got there. And guess what d guy said? "I did it for me, it cld be me in dat situation". Still indebted to him. He is an Igbo guy. If u re reading ds, thx again. It's been over. 8yrs now
I will offer my assistance to the victims. They need all the help they can get as that may save someone life.
@La23409
are you loooking for a suger mummy or daddy please call dis line 08132333771 please be mature..
Yes I will stop and help out cos it was an accident.and call the emergency no.
Yes, I would. It could happen to any one
Dear Linda,
I and all other member of Brothers Across Nigeria, WILL STOP AND WILL NOT LEAVE THE SPOT TILL ALL IS ACCOUNTED FOR.
NYBEN PX
If its a safe place to stop i will stop, to see how i can help. A dangerous place i will call 911 and speed off.
Honestly, I will not stop but would call an emergency line to report the incident....
I will stop to help linda. But while i do that, i will also reach out for help and call all emergency line that i know. and ofcourse, i will send you pictures of the scene #winks
What a stupid question. Of course I will stop. Its a diff thing u said, it had mechanical fault n stopped, since I'm not sure if its real fault or fake, I will not stop. But accident I will stop. What if it was me nko.
well might not be able to stop and if i eventually stop, would look around if it is what i will handle i will go ahead why more hands come in but i will not fail to call the emergency number why i wait to do anything to help the situation.
Am sorry,I can't wait..I wld jst get to the closest station and inform them.
Wot would I be doing alone by dat ungodly hour
Well,I will listen to my heart..if I feel it is safe,I will help..safety is of God.even I moving at such time isn't safe either.
Pascal
If it appear dat d driver is nt dead i will stop n help but if dead i will add more gear 2 my driving speed,Reason b/c it will seem as if u ar d curse of d acidnt.
If it's possible for me to help but I will def help out... But if I can't i will stop nd look. 11.55 is not a bad time
Yes, I Will stop. It could happen to anybody.
Yes I Will. It can happen to anybody and you can be that God sent person to save a life.
yes
God 4give me I don't think I will stop. Its such a complicated situation. Firstly its just u drivin by that time, it takes quit a number of pple 2 perform a resue operation. Secondly what medical facility do u take them to, a medical facility that will pay more attention to treating the causalities than negotiating the bills with the good samaritan. Situations like this are reasons why South Africans laugh at Nigeria who has become the biggest economy power house of Africa.
Y not?hw are u sure u ur sef wl reach home safely,life is all abt risk anytin cn happen
¤¤¤GOD punish devil¤¤¤
Positively sure I will pull over to help them.# sure thing#
I will not.. I even hate seeing accident immediately it happens
Without even hesistating! It could have been me there lying few stops 4rm lifelelessness,if na fear of robbery u dey fear. It won't happen!
My church mind.....NO
Yes I will even if it's 1am
Kai! Tough one. Inasmuch as I have human sympathy, I might not hav the confidence to stop at that point in time to help. I will drive to the nearest police station and call for help
yes i ll stop coz dis tin can happn 2 any1
To be truthful.....No I won't stop to help since am a chic. But I wuld make calls to see if paramedics or some people could go help and give them directions....hopefully it won't be too late
Wait. What? Why not? This is not even a question please!
The truth is that I will not stop my car because I cannot help them.I will simply call those that have the capacity to help, THE POLICE.
Yes in PH, I would stop to help. In Lagos, not so sure. It could all be format
Linda why not I will tho is risky buh the most important thing is saving a soul.
I will sincerely stop and help the victim. You never can tell as you can save a life.
Honestly speaking,in a situation in nigeria which you know that it will take d paramedic or d accident response to come asap..I'll only call for help and tightened my heart n pass to be sincere cuz in such situation d mentality of ppl very low cuz dey might even blame u for causing d accident and all so its really a very tricky qtn linda except. We two in d car..I'll stop and render help if its not critical
Ah dis question is very critical, hmmmmm,I'll wait and help.
Always try to be a good *Samaritan* yea i will just to justify my conscience.
hmmmmmm sincerely i wudnt stop. instead i wud call d police or NAMA to make sure they come then i wud jst try and call a friend or some1 to go 2 the scene with me. Or I wud try driving to a hospital to see if i can get nurses or doctors to go with me to the scene
Sincerely YES I'll render a helping even if @ 2am
yea, i *will* what's there at least just to justify my conscience.
yea...do unto others wat u wish dem to do 4 ya!
Would I be able to get any sleep that night if I did not?
Would I be able to live with myself?
No have to sincere to myself.
No have to sincere to myself.
Linda I won't!!! A Lot of things in this country is not the way life should be lived! If its abroad, I will call paramedics and I would be sure they would come there. Here in lagos it would be utmost stupidity for me as a lady to stop by, 1, I would be risking my dear life, 2, what 1st aid knowledge do I even have,3rdly if he or she dies, I become a milky bank to the police. So what I would is try call the lagos ambulance and leave jejeje. Call me heartless but I'd rather be heartless than get into serious trouble and even be blamed by same society that I should this is Nigeria, why did you stop? Family will blame u, friends would blame u! Bella
I'll stop! But after a minute observation!
I would stop to help, leaving my car running just incase, try as fast as I can and call for help as well
I don't know
As for me,i'll come and check out what has happened,if its a situation i can help i'll,but if not i'll try to alert people.
Will drive awy and call emergency no
God will help the person!
God will turn up 4 that person., i'll definitely rush & call 4 help.
hmm, i think I remember this pic ad someone died in the accident. don't think its smart using the same pic for your survey if i should call it.
the point is, whenever one sees an accident, you either try and help or call the authorities, doesn't make sense taking pictures
Yes, i will wait. The story below which took place in 2011 is similar.Pls pardon the wrong grimmer.
On the fateful night in 2011 i left Office late (10.50pm), my Office is on the Island (Adeyemo Alakija) and at around some minutes to 12pm, i was already at Toyota Bus stop after Charity Bus-stop in Oshodi. I was to turn off the expressway at Aswani junction to connect Osolo way. As i entered the service lane, i saw a man shouting and running helter skelter, at first i thought he was rubbed and needed help so i slowed down. My body was already shaking with fear but wanted to assist. As he approached me i noticed he was asking for help and pointing toward a Petrol tanker packed on the other side of the road. As he gets closer I was able to pick his statement in Yoruba language “Please help me my truck is about to catch fire” “Please help me my truck is about to catch fire” “Please help me my truck is about to catch fire”.
At first I thought it was a ploy to rub me but as I looked towards the truck I saw smoke coming from the engine side and another kind of fear welled up in me (the fear of the entire trucker exploding). All these while, I was praying asking God to be with me, I made Him understand that I only wanted to help a fellow human being and that He should ensure I don’t regret it. My wife put to bed less than a month ago and a lot of things were going through my mind.
I parked my car and search for my fire extinguisher, got it and handed it over to him. By this time I was not scared again as I am now sure he is not an armed rubber. He was able to put off the fire before it become big and immediately started asking for help again. I was startled and he now was pointing to a young boy lying half dead on the road. What happened to him? I enquire. He explained that the boy was trying to stop a car for help and probably the drive mistook him for an armed rubber and knocked him down instead. So what do you want me to do? Please help me take him to the hospital or else he will die here; was his response.
The boy was seriously wounded and the thought in my heart was the Police. What if this boy dies in the car before we get to the Hospital? How will I get myself out of Police trouble? As these thought was going on in my mind the truck driver plea continues and was reminding me that the boy needed quick medical attention. I made up my mind and quickly dash over to where I packed my car opened the door and asked him to bring the boy, but he said he cannot carry the boy alone (All along, I did not stop praying in my mind), that he will need my help get the boy into my car due to the boy injuries.
Again I removed the car key from the ignition (I do not want anyone to play prank on me, by driving off with my car). I crossed over to where they are, but as we made attempt to pick up the boy a Police patrol van came along and parked. They asked question and the driver briefed them of the incident and the boy condition. The Officer in Charge asks his men to put the boy in their van instead. At this point I made for my car with the driver singing various kinds of prayers on me.
It was a night I will not forget in a hurry. I was so scared, but I stayed because I wanted to be of help to someone.
LINDA FOR LAGOS? I CAN ONLY HELP THE PERSON INVOLVED BY CALLING THE EMERGENCY RESCUE TEAM THAT IS ALL I CAN DO OOO BUT THEN IF THE PERSON INVOLVED IS WELL KNOW TO ME I CAN STOP IF NOT OMO NA TO CHANGE GEAR OOO COS IF NIGERIAN POLICE CATCH YOU THERE WITH AM STORY FIT CHANGE SHARP SHARP!!!
Hmmm…i am a woman so nop. I will drive straight to the nearest Police station and report the incident so the Police can go help the person.
No i will not stop, because such accident one person can not rescue plus it is dangerous,However i will not ignore the accident,drive to the nearest or safest stop where i can reinforce help may be firefighters,police,people around or government parasters for help programs even could be some friends and neighbours,may be hospital ambulance but i will first be sure of my safety.
Yes
Ok Linda, that's a mind boggling question you threw there. My answer to your question is No because I'll be in a hurry to get home myself. People no dey hear word.
Its annoying when people asks questions and end it "BE TRUTHFUL" One would not expect such from LIB owners with their level of exposures.
Now to the matter at hand, of course, I will stop and help the accident victim? Whats the worse that could happen? I will be robbed of my car and cash? But how would I feel going home to watch in the news the next day that the occupants of the car died because "help did not arrive on time.."??
Linda ill be so scared. Driving alone @ dat tym is scary enough let alone helping someone in an accident......what if the person dies??? I heard in lagos if u bring in any accident victim ur presumed to be responsible over the situation. But God can speak to me $ the fear will vanish there $ then.
I WILL
Yes of course
Depends on my mood. D injured won't rob me. I may also dial 911
Yes I will by calling the police or 911. The only time I won't stop to help is if a passenger who was crossing the road gets hit by someone and maybe dies. I will be scared cause I heard of an incidence where they said the helper was the one who killed the victim. It happens a lot especially where our investigation stuff in nigeria isn't so advanced. If I hit the person however, I will have to carry him. My honest opinion!
to be honest, in nigeria it will be difficult it will have to do with my mood so i say 50\50 i might or not..
I wud drive to d nearest police station n alert them biko.
Aww sweerie, I will help the person. My conscience is a tough one and always judges me even before someone else does. My dear, I will help the persons
mbanu linda
I rili want to biliv I wud...dats d ryt thing to do sha, all things being equal I wud.
Honestly, It's a bit suicidal, but will give a helping hand coz you might never know who you are helping..
i will stop and help whats there?
i dont fear those that can kill my flesh buh He who can destroy my soul and body.
via official intercom.
It doesn't matter the time, you gotta help!
Nahh! Vampire trick...
Yes, i will help by taking him/her to the hospital. if its not what i can handle, i will call police and a reliable hospital that has ambulance.
When I get to the scene I will think on what to do if the occupants aren't dead . But if dead, I'm sorry I gotta go home straight . God help us all
I will help him.
well, if it is america , of course yes but if its on a nigerian bridge, aghhh, na after life tinz be dat o.
I dnt knw hw safe lag bridges r bt if na 4 nija bridge osha Linda dear i de apply BEN JOHNSON, cos onitsha no de safe arund 7 - 9pm nt 2 tlk of mid9t
"...and the car somersaulted severally."
Haba Linda! Your English is very poor. How did you pass your WAEC? At this rate, I suspect you had a P8 in English.
Yes I would I. Might save his life. No robber will rob me known dam well am trying to save someone. The robber self will join me to save the person
Every man 4 himself, God 4 us all!
You said we should be sincere. So here goes I'll never be out at 11:55pm and that's the honest truth
Sure y not
I WILL SLOW DOWN BUT WILL BE TOO SCARED TO STOP. IF I'M BRAVE ENOUGH, I WILL REVERSE A BIT BUT ENOUGH TO SEE THE CAR FROM A DISTANCE. I D K O..........
No, not in Nigeria were our policemen they look for wetin to chop.
Ur question said "While driving alone", it means i am d only1 in my own car nd seriusly, thr's litu or notin only me can do to help d victim at dat point. Altho am nt sure wat i'd do, cus it has neva hapend to me, but I think d safest thing to do is for d person to drive off with an embittered spirit. Unless of cus he sees som more ppl dat can help him alongside
Yeah. I would
I will surely help
, someone's life is at stake here. The best thing is to help
if after the car somersaulted and the car didn't set ablaze, i could stop to try and and help.
At that time of the night, in Nigeria! Hell no. I will call the police and alert them though. In the US, I will help the victim and call the police.
You help a victim in Nigeria at that time of the night, you might end up being a victim yourself.
This has happened to me before...although not so late and my dad was in the car. I was driving to Kaduna from Abuja and i remember doing about 150km/hr, the vehicle right infront of me in a split of a second sumersulted and it went up so high i couldn't believe my eyes. i stopped to help praying in my mind not to see anything too horrific which i thought was going to be the case because of the way the car flipped. i got there fuel dripping everywhere, engine oil and the lot. The three passengers still alive although the two of them where in critical conditions i was relieved and happy. My dad was even too scared to come close to the scene. Will i help definitely i will even if its 3am. accidents can happen to anybody (but we dont pray to experience it)
Yes I will stop....then help if I think it is safe and i will also call the agency responsible to rescue.

When it come to life and death, I don't thing otherwise. I will definitly stop to help
Yes. Without even giving it a second thought. It could have been me, and if I was still alive I surely won't want people speeding past me and not stopping
yes. its no good to pass by. remember the story of the Good Samaritan
With the love of God,I'l want to.....but remembring ds country Nigeria again,I can get arrestd 4 "helping". 9ja 4 u!
I'm meant to help o(wud love to help)..but u know Naija pple nw..maybe its wen ur attempting to help nd in process the victim dies in ur hands just as the Nigerian police arrive ,u know dats real gobe..na u kill am..a typical Nigerian wudnt wait let's b sincere..
D best thing is to call Lagos State Emergency 767 biko
Yeap I will.
