He said: “I was having my childhood friend from Nigeria; they were coming to visit. So, we were supposed to pick them up from the airport. I was sleeping, and my other friend was driving.

“I woke up, and we were spinning—well, we thank God. The car spun three times before coming to a stop.

“Despite the severity of the accident, I just had a scar, but the most important thing is that I’m alive.

“The car is written off and everything, but the most important thing is life for me.”
