It's
been a while we heard from Toyin Aimakhu...so you can imagine our
surprise when we got the mail from her moments ago, enjoy piece below:
It
has come to my attention that people are no longer taking life
seriously. As a concerned citizen, i feel it is high time we started a
campaign or raise sort of awareness about the use of technology while
others are literally in a life and death situation.
I
witnessed a fatal accident between a large vehicle and a tricycle some
weeks ago and to my utmost shock, people brought out their mobile phones
and began filming the scene of accident. It was such a horrible sight
to behold. I had to step out of my vehicle to bring them to an hospital
nearby, with the help of others.
Similar
incident was posted a while back on facebook, and as a concerted
citizen, i feel Nigerians are slowly loosing their human interaction.
Technology and internet is quickly replacing that natural instinct to
help others in time of need, especially when we can do something to help
in an accident.
We
are Nigerians and are cultured people with the best morals and
orientation, we should not, in any way forget our roots, that before
mobile phones, internet, ipad etc, there were proper and physical human
interaction where our instincts tells us help people out of a burning
fire or from the collision of vehicles.
Do
not replace living with technology, let us help each other before
making videos or taking pictures and together, stand for what is right
and cultured.
