Singer Daniel Wilson Reveals 2 Words That Could Have Saved Boxer Anthony Joshua's Friends..

Legendary Singer Daniel Wilson penned this unputdownable writeup to reveal the two words that would have saved boxer Anthony Joshua's two friends who died  in a car crash in Nigeria during the Detty December period...



''TWO WORDS THAT COULD HAVE SAVED ANTHONY JOSHUA’S FRIENDS!

The tragic news surrounding Anthony Joshua’s car wreck, where two friends and teammates lost their lives, forces us to confront the uncomfortable truth that many road deaths are not inevitable acts of fate. They are often the result of silence, hesitation, and a collective failure to exercise the simplest form of human control available inside every moving vehicle.

Inside every car, beyond airbags, brakes, and seatbelts, there exists a basic, human safety mechanism that is too often ignored: Your voice! Speaking up these two magic words—“Slow down!”

Slow down when said firmly, calmly, and repeatedly when necessary, can be the difference between life and death.
A tyre advert once asked a timeless question: “What good is speed without control?”
That question should echo in every vehicle, especially when speed begins to outrun judgment.
Silence Is Not Neutral
Too many passengers treat speed as the driver’s private business. They scroll on their phones, laugh through the ride, or resign themselves to fate. Yet silence in the face of danger is not neutrality my people, it is surrender.
I know this personally.
I have been called a coward by friends and co-travellers. Some drivers mock me as “Mr Fear Fear” or “Oga Worry Worry.” Yet each time I say, “Slow down,” I am exercising the only power I have in that moment: the power to value life over ego. More often than not, drivers obey. And when they do not, I stop the vehicle and step out. Is that simple. No journey is worth gambling my life on pride or speed.
In this country with poor road infrastructure, faded markings, potholes, and unlit highways, speed multiplies danger. 

Add to that:
• Careless drivers who park on roadsides without warning signs
• Even police men jumping out of the darkness at night with no reflectors
• Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Fatigue, distraction, and overconfidence

Against all these menaces, “Slow down” becomes a shield, your first line of defense, It is not weakness. It is wisdom.
No amount of celebrity status, physical strength, wealth, or confidence can negotiate with physics. At high speed, reaction time shrinks. Control disappears. Consequences become irreversible.

Especially to a Generation That Lives Fast

This message is particularly urgent for today’s culture of high-speed living—celebrities, influencers, athletes, and young people raised on adrenaline, applause, and instant gratification. Speed has become a symbol of success. Caution is mistaken for fear.

But real power is not in how fast you move.
It is in knowing when to slow down.
True courage is speaking up when everyone else stays quiet. True friendship is not cheering recklessness, but interrupting it. True masculinity, leadership, and maturity are shown in restraint.

We Must Take Charge of Our Lives
Every passenger has a duty—not just to themselves, but to everyone in that vehicle. Watching the speedometer is not interference. It is participation in survival.

If you are inside a car and you see danger approaching, your voice matters.
If you can say “Slow down,” and you do not, that silence may haunt you forever.
We cannot fix all roads overnight.

We cannot control every driver on the highway.
But we can control one thing: our willingness to speak up and say “Slow Down.
Two simple words.
A basic human act.
A lifesaving habit.
What good is speed without control?

  7. There seem to be this temptation and demon on the highway to overspeed but if those in the vehicle with the driver do not speak out when they ought to, that might truely be the end. Let's learn to caution the driver when he gets tempted to run at high speed.

  11. Hmmm all I will say is just pray the person driving slows down, when you say slow down oh!. My husband flies when he drives be it rain, snow or shine. Pol!ce have given him plenty speeding tickets. I’m not exaggerating!!He has been to court for like 7 speeding tickets that me I know of. Brethren I will be pressing invincible brake in passenger seat. I even hang my hand, on that door handle above the door, to stabilize myself. My heart is always pounding in my throat. Whenever he has near misses, brakes suddenly or other road users horn & I get scared, he gets extremely upset & takes it personal when you try telling him to slow down.

    1. Be careful, if not, your husband will take you along on the day he will crash himself. No one is King of the road. Besides, you are not firm enough with him.
      This is coming from me who lost a well to do brother to a car crash. He once thought he was indestructible when driving. Today he left all of us hurt and unable to heal.
