Life is fleeting; one day we're here and the next moment you're gone. We spend so much time and effort trying to make our lives better, dwelling on the positives, and trying to stay healthy. However, the reality is that despite all our times, fate could happen and it could all be over in a second.
I remember my own near-death experience on the 6th of July 2017. That car accident still feels so fresh in my memory. I was making a normal 45-minute journey from Mangu to Jos, in Plateau State, Nigeria and because I had a little bit too much to drink that Thursday morning, I decided to take a nap in the cramped up Taxi. I remember closing my eyes and dozed off, but when I woke up, I was on the ground.
My entire body was in shock, and only my neck could move. I turned to the right and saw the vehicle I was in upside down with windows shattered and blood all over it. It felt so surreal, like a dream or something I imagined. I blacked out again and woke up at the back of a pickup. I blacked out again and this time, I was on a stretcher in some shitty hospital. Turns out I was the only survivor of the sad event; the drunk guy napping at the back of the wagon.
So what about you, do you have any near-death experience you will like to share?
