Nigerian celebrities live larger than life but certain times, a
number of them encountered near-death experiences in startling motor
accidents that made them, as well as their fans, grateful for their
God-given lives. Death is truly something no one prays for.
Here are 9 Nigerian celebrities who have cheated death at the hands of road accidents:
1) Wizkid
