FROM JOS TO ABUJA BY ROAD

I and my elder brother, Oboshi and a family friend, Jerry, travelled from Abuja to Jos this morning. It was a slow enjoyable journey with several stops to buy fresh fruits, take a good look at a really big fish, and buy 4 litres of Palm Wine. It was a shame Oboshi could not have some of it because he was driving, but Jerry and I did a very good job of drowning like four-fifths of it, much to his chagrin. Don't worry, no one got drunk.

We saw a bad accident along a long bend, it was a VW Golf, the driver must have been going 12okph because he zipped past us, and tried to treat the bend with disrespect - he did not step on the brakes. The car skidded off the road into the bush. The driver was disoriented for like a minute then he came to. I advised him to go straight to the hospital after making sure there were no other injuries. One of the passengers, a lawyer, sustained a deep gash on the left elbow. We did not have any first aid kit, so we advised him to go the nearby PHC clinic for the wound to be washed and dressed.

A STORY ABOUT THE BEND
Jerry had an interesting story about the bend: a woman nearly lost three of her children on that same bend so in order to warn drivers of the danger, she mounted up several posts about half a kilometre each side of the bend with the words, "Dangerous bend ahead, please drive carefully". I saw two of those signs, but obviously the driver of that golf did not, or he did but could not read it... same difference to the passengers and unlookers.

Thankfully, no big casualty, so we continued on our journey with even more caution. We soon forgot about the incident and got back to talking and laughing again.

SPECIAL DAY TODAY
Today, the 10th of April, I turned 26th. I count every added year a privilege.

THE NAME OF MY BLOG
I set out to name the blog 'bloggerdoc' but that was taken, I tried other similar names but they all were taken, so finally, I decided to name it "Doctorin Bloggin", that was also taken! So what did I do? I wrote the "Bloggin" backwards and dropped the 'n' in "Doctorin". So it reads DoctoriniggolB... just thought I should explain this to those who might ask, "What kind of a name is this?"
