Nollywood actor, Ayo Animashaun, who recently survived an auto crash, speaks to TEMITOPE ADETUNJI about the experience
RecentlyIn addition to my acting career, I am also a site engineer, I help people with construction. A client of mine gave me a future plan to help him excavate a swimming pool and lounge. That was where I was coming from when the accident happened. I had already got to Magboro when a trailer carrying gravels had brakes failure and ran into my car. It dragged my car, causing it to spin. In fact, I thought my car was going to fall in the ditch around Magboro bus stop. I saw my car spinning.
It took me an extra hour to confirm to myself that I was still breathing because at that moment I saw my soul leaving my body. You can imagine you sitting and driving your car, the steering is not controlling, the brakes are not working and the car is just spinning. I was travelling, so, I was on 100-120km/h on the express. Then the ran into me, my car started spinning, then I said to myself, “This is the end.
I learnt that everything you have can be taken away from you when you least expect it. I never thought it could happen to me. I believed that God is always behind me and that nobody can do anything to me. Now I believe that anything can happen, anybody can do anything; do not underrate people. All I was able to say was that, ‘So, this is me!’You know the world is spiritual. I am grateful to God for giving me a second chance.
