‘All I Shouted Was My Cheque’- Alibaba Recounts His Near Death Car Crash
Comedian Alibaba has flashed back to the time where the only important thing he recalled was his Cheque after a car he boarded somersaulted and crash.
According to him for a moment he even forgot about his life, the only thing he remembered was the cheque, He said:
‘At about 5.30am, just as we passed the #ConcordNewspaper bend on that road linking old domestic to international, I still can remember clearly, that I thought I saw the guy driving nod off on the steering wheels.
I tried to engage him with a joke, next thing, the car was somersaulting. Must have been more than three times. As it rolled over and over, I kept shouting one thing. Efe, was to tell me later, Ali money go do you something”… what?
She said I kept shouting “My cheque! My cheque!! My cheque!!!”How was I to know? To God almighty, I thought I was shouting “My Chest!”… anyway, we later found
#TheBookof5000JokesAndOneliners that I was reading. And true, there was a cheque inside. A Trans International Bank crossed cheque of 65k. In 1993… But I still believe I was saying ‘my chest.
The second near death accident was on our way back from the #CoscharisTableTennistournament. The Hiace Bus bringing us from Nnewi somersaulted into the bush after a burst tyre. I was the second passenger in the front seats, next to the driver.
As God would have it, I was looking for my sentimental cassette to change into my Walkman and had removed my seatbelt. I remember trying to lock back my seatbelt when the tyre burst. I was flung out, through the windscreen onto the hot Shagamu expressway and the bus continued its somersaults into the bush. I was one of the only three people who had no serious injuries. The bus was full. I joined in bringing bodies to the road.
