It has become a common practice in Nigeria to construct humps on newly constructed roads, especially in areas where schools are located.
Construction of humps started after it was noticed that motorists overspeed uncontrollably on smooth roads, most times they get so carried away that they don't even look at their speedometer to know how fast they're moving
A lot of road accidents have been recorded on smooth and newly constructed roads, some of the accidents claiming lives of the drivers and pedestrians
To curb overspeading and the consequences that go with it, government and some concerned individuals has made it a duty point to construct those barriers to stop motorists from overspending
Yesterday when I was coming back home, I noticed that road humps have been constructed in front of my church following the death of a pupil two weeks ago; the pupil was knocked down by a bike on high speed
I was really happy seeing that humps has been constructed there to prevent further car accidents by overspending
I tried to relate it to the life of a human beings. Obstacles and hardships are like humps in the life of every human being.
Can you imagine a life without trials and challenges?
Imagine a life so smooth and straightforward without hitches here and there
Sometimes when we encounter obstacles in life we feel so sad, we feel like it's the end of the world
But tough times don't last, some things happen in life just to prevent some "accidents" from happening to us, some happen to prepare us for what lies ahead; just like the road humps, if we don't encounter obstacles we might overspeed and run into problems that we can't solve in life
So when you encounter obstacles in life, do not lose hope, it will soon pass. Just focus on your goals because tough times don't last
