There is nothing more annoying than when I see my people die from preventable causes. How many times will Africans have to die in such circumstances before we become wise? I guarantee that this type of carnage does not happen elsewhere in the world without there being a proper investigation to prevent it from happening ever again. However it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why these accidents continually occur especially in Nigeria. 1). Firstly we have road users who have never passed their test but are behind the wheel of vehicles. 2). Secondly, we have corrupt road traffic officials who fail to enforce road standards such as speeding, a vehicle's roadworthiness, checking to see whether the driver is driving under the influence of substances etc. All they are interested in is collecting bribes. 3). The roads are not properly maintained and are dangerous for road users. 4). There is not enough education/awareness in society about the dangers of fuel and open flames. Only in Nigeria will you find people who on seeing a vehicle with fuel leaking from it will a crowd of people run to the incident carrying their babies and smoking cigarettes ...... anywhere else in the world, where they have more sense, they run away from such incidents. This video says that sixty people have lost their lives (some reports say more). SMDH. However the real trauma is much deeper because those sixty people come from sixty families who are now grieving about a lost relative. Each life lost is a complete tragedy and a loss of potential on its own. The truth is that Nigeria does not care about the safety of its citizens, because if it did it would implement the obvious precautions to prevent these accidents from occurring. It would also prosecute those individuals and companies who violate road standards. PS: Look at the so called "fire fighters" in this video. They are not even wearing the proper fire retardant material. SMDH.
It's well ooooh enforce the Restrictions of them using the Dikko! Bridge do take heart ❤️ Cos when our loved ones are no more we'll Carry on chaii what a tragedy so sad and it's a pity All these drunk drivers!
Mr Governor first try fix the dikko road first abeg. When the roads are bad how do u expect drivers to obey the road laws? Let's be realistic here and not just saying things anyhow. The dikko road is very bad and congested
Again!! Never let Hunger override common sense pls, another name for petrol is spirit,you can never guess what's next.May the souls of the departed RIP.
I love Nigerian government ehhh., always very good at reactions, never proactive 😢.
The Governor didn't know about the one way before the accident? Let's wait for another incident, Nigeria has happened again 😢
Good job Chenemi. Keep the hard work going.
Fix transport infrastructures.
It would significantly reduce the rate of accidentss
According to one of the person interviewed, how can they bring Generator there?
Africa? not surprised 😮
Unfortunately those who died may not even be recognized and families may not have closure.. peace Lord
Over 200 persons gone and a lot injured. Saturday morning the 18th was something else.
