Nigerian man is asking for assistance after accumulating a large debt of N400M due to a car accident that happened during an illegal drag race in Eko Atlantic City, Lagos.
The accident took place on Saturday and caused several injuries and major damage.
Although no fatalities were recorded, the Corvette Stingray 2022 and Jeep Grand Cherokee 2015 involved in the accident were severely damaged.
Recounting the traumatic experience on Instagram, Trammania, who was driving the car that lost control, described it as a terrifying moment, with the aftermath still overwhelming him.
Eyewitnesses said that two high-speed cars were racing when one lost control, struck the other, and crashed into a concrete pole.
Luckily, there were no deaths, but the driver, who goes by @Trammania on Instagram, got injured and is now facing a big financial burden.
He shared his difficult experience on social media and showed appreciation for surviving.
He talked about his hospital expenses, property damage, and losing two vehicles—a 2022 Corvette Stingray and a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The driver is asking for support to help with the costs of repairs and medical treatment.
He wrote, “Yesterday evening, 14th of September 2024, I watched my life flash right in front of my eyes. It all happened so fast. Still traumatized. Taught it was all over. Still can’t even believe I’m alive. God really loves me & yesterday confirms all doubts…I’m grateful to still be here. I’ll never forget.

The incident has continued to generate reactions from social media users, with many criticising him for his recklessness.
Reacting to the situation in an X post on Monday, former Big Brother Naija housemate Vee tweeted, “You rented cars, you crashed them, didn’t die, and now you owe 400m? If that’s not a freshly downloaded generational curse, I don’t know what is
Another user, @Gracebal0, wrote, “The best part is expecting people that are not living life recklessly to come to your aid. masses that are broke you want to fund your stupid lifestyle mistakes.”
A tweep, #iam__temmyyy said, “Imagine renting car to do drag race. You get mind sha. N400m loun loun …”
A user on X.com, who tweeps as @Bidal4Life said, “Everybody dey find generational wealth. E reach this one turn e go jam generational debt.”
While others blamed him for crashing the expensive car, a user, #Chuc__kki schooled him on how to engage in car race competition.
#Chuc__kki said, “The first rule of drag racing! Clear and secure the race path. The onlookers were concerned more about recording than securing the path. Now dem don see content, 400m gbese for this economy na d!e ooo. Dem fit carry ur full family into modern slavery mk e nor still reach.”
According to Motortrend, the 2022 Corvette is priced between $60,900 (N100.3 million) and $79,850 (N131.5 million).
