Fun Experience on the Road!

I was travelling yesterday and I saw a big truck/lorry that broke down on the highway. At the back of the truck was the notice that read, 'Such is Life.' How succinct! No wonder the truck had mechanical failure. Instead of using, ‘God is good,’ ‘Life is good,’ ‘All is well,’ the owner chose a theme that reflects the hard condition of life; ‘Such is Life.’ ‘Why the lorry nor go break down?’

I also met a long traffic jam and I saw men in military uniforms clearing the traffic. It made me wonder, ‘What’s now the role of the Nigerian military? Traffic men? Why is it that now every problem requires the presence of the military?’
