Inset: Shola and his rescued Toyota Sienna |
That is exactly what happened with Shola
Oladimeji, a devout Christian, when his Toyota Sienna bus crashed through the
bars of the Third mainland bridge in Lagos and plunged several feet into the lagoon
below.
Shola Oladimeji, who cannot swim, struggled to
stay afloat in the water, lifting himself twice to the surface but getting pulled
back in. Luckily, his third attempt to the surface of the water made him
visible to divers who came to his rescue.
According to him, he has no idea how his
accident happened as he was not drunk, tired or even speeding. Long story
short, he made it out of the lagoon alive and believes it was an act of God
that saved him. Considering the odds of being thrown off that bridge added to
his inability to swim, his story is definitely a modern day miracle.
Full interview with Shola is available on every major Nigerian news website
