OKADA MADNESS

OKADA MADNESS

Coming out of my house in Lekki Phase 1 this morning about 7.55am (it should have been 7.45am to beat internal Lekki 1 traffic, but hey I was late). As the car in front of us turned to enter a side road on the left in front of us, my peripheral vision caught this Okada motorcycle driver plus passenger come careening past us trying to get past the driver in front of us even though the driver had already almost turned into the side road. The Okada driver at this stage managed at speed to get past the driver but while doing so he lost the balance on his motorcycle.

He managed to drive at speed past the driver turning in and he managed to stay on a straight-ish path, he then careened at speed off another car in-front of us and he and his passenger took off in slo-mo into the air over the car bonnet to land on the tarmac in front. Unfortunately it was the driver of the Okada and not the passenger that had the helmet on. As is the way, the driver of the car that was taking a corner got out and was apologising to the passenger while the Okada driver was picking himself off the floor and pretending to limp to garner support (maybe he had actually broken his leg in four places but I don’t think people were particularly concerned with him after his display of Evil Kenevel motorcycle driving). It was immediately brought to you how cheap life can be in Nigerian.

I need a picture of an Okada motorcycle driver to back up this post. Camera out...
