Reactions as man shares accident experience

@ObynoClin

Too many lives are at risk because of neglect and poor infrastructure. Urgent action is long overdue on our roads, what’s even okay in Nigeria? Health care system zero, good roads zero, clean water supply zero, constant power supply zero, economy zero, quality leadership zero, only corruption and looting are excelling at all levels. That country is a crime scene!!
