I love acting. It wasn’t just entertainment, it was my biggest aspiration growing up. With this in mind, I applied for admission to the University of Jos (UNIJOS) to study theater arts, but despite the explanations given by the then dean, I was refused admission for very opaque reasons.
When fate took me to the University of Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG) to study history, I stubbornly became one of the founders of the famous Theater15 and pursued my art as an actor and artistic director during my undergraduate days. I found a place to express my talent. I’ll study. Professor Hope Egaga and Professor Segun Adewi were my tutors.
Thus, I appeared many times, ending with the grand finale as Sizwe in Athol Fugard’s Sizwe Bansi is Dead. One of my late English professors said in his review that our performance was the best he had seen from a group of amateurs. He rated it better than the performance in Great Britain (UK) by experts.
To this day, I remain humbled by his review and therefore consider my last stage performance to be my best ever. For those who have never seen or read the book, it is a political satire that Fugard wrote with two other South African actors, John Kani and Winston Nshona. Both appeared in the original production and had their world premiere on October 8, 1972 in my favorite South African city, Cape Town, South Africa.
As I said earlier, this was my best and last stage performance before graduating from the prestigious University of Lagos. Besides acting, I’m also a movie buff or cinephile. My passion for acting and movies is deadly. But despite all this love and craze, I’ve never liked Mexican dramas. The reason is best known to me. But the soap bug “Rich people cry too” caught my attention until now.
I’m not going to give away any part of this soap, but I want to tell you that this is the title of the app for me as I prepare for the government’s numerous reforms aimed at permanently repositioning the economy. It is. I’m not wealthy, but as a veteran, the look on my face speaks volumes when I do the following: Once you’re done buying gas for your car, charging your electric card and enjoying Band A, as well as restocking your home with groceries.
For someone in my position who tries to do all three in the same day, only God can prevent me from developing a driving disease called road rage. Lately, I’ve been bothered by what my friends and colleagues are trending and sharing. I have to be honest and confess that this clip is one of the worst I’ve seen because I couldn’t explain the level of insanity exhibited by an enraged driver who attacks and crushes someone with his Rambo-like driving style. Ranked as one of the cases.
I can’t help but focus on this subject today. Let’s start with road rage. This is a term used to describe aggressive and dangerous driving behavior that has become a common occurrence in this region, the United States, and some developed countries.
Members of the Federal Road Safety Forces are victims of such incidents in the course of their legitimate duties. While we understand that these are very difficult times and that these negative behaviors are likely to emerge, there are concrete steps we can take to reduce the impact of angry incidents. There are steps.
Before we elaborate on that, aggressive or angry behavior can include rude verbal insults targeted at other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other drivers; You should be aware that this may include yelling, physical threats, or unsafe driving practices. Or get rid of frustration.
Next, let’s look at the causes of road rage. One resource I stumbled upon states that the most common reason cited by aggressive drivers for aggressive driving and road rage is heavy traffic. This factor can be reinforced by pre-existing stress situations, such as being late for work or an appointment, or already feeling angry or tired before leaving the house.
In our crimes, I have listed incidents that can aggravate aggression. There may be others, but these are the most common ones drivers confess to. Regarding factors that increase the risk of roadside assault, available research shows that age, time of day, and vehicle type are common. I think they probably forgot that your status as employed or unemployed can also increase your risk.
Before I explain these details, let me share a personal experience where I had the potential to provoke a friend into aggressive driving. This friend named Kunle spent more than 200,000 naira to repair his car, but the mechanic did not come to deliver the car even after 10 days. He said he confessed that if something like this had happened, he might have shot the mechanic. he had a gun. If such a person drives, he may become enraged.
Next, we discuss research that reveals that drivers under the age of 19 are more than four times more likely to engage in aggressive driving than older drivers. What’s more, it is said that road violence tends to occur more during the summer and towards the end of the week in developed climates. It also says angry drivers are prevalent during peak commute and school hours.
Another friend named Izuchukwu said that in our area, if you don’t have the cash to visit your loved ones, especially in December during the Christmas season, schools ask for new tuition or tuition increases. It is possible that the disease will spread in the last month of September. This driving behavior can take the form of erratic driving, honking your horn, cutting someone off, or making rude gestures, especially if you think you’ll never see that person again.
Therefore, it is important to avoid angry accidents by driving politely, respectfully, and patiently. These three driving forces have the potential to quell even the worst before it occurs. To achieve this, you need to remember your notes on defensive driving techniques and practice driving lessons and tips.
This advisory tells people to keep a safe distance, avoid erratic driving, use turn signals to avoid disturbing other drivers, use horns responsibly and avoid blaring unnecessarily loud noises. do not flash your high beams at others, and be thoughtful, cautious, and cautious in parking lots and lots. Even at the shopping mall.
Experts say if this doesn’t work, avoid eye contact with reckless and agitated drivers, don’t escalate the attack to attack, move to a public place like a police station, fire station, or hospital if you feel threatened, and never Please stop. Although you may be hesitant to call an emergency number, always remain calm.
