from theinfong.
Givernment is a bastard. 53 cars and only 14 caught in d inferno.
ReplyDeleteUseless country
9 people died, 4 rescued, 2 in critical condition, 2 minor injuries, government and lies, why rush to give false news? when a video is already on social media ?
DeleteSince they've decided that only Lagos will have a viable seaport for 200 million people, This type of stuff will keep happening.
DeleteLagos is too congested. Open up Warri, PH, Onitsha, Calabar and Uyo seaports and upgrade PH, and Enugu airports and Lagos will decongest. But no, it will benefit the Biafrans. Let's leave everything for Lagos.
Expect more of these. You can't wish it away. Nigeria must do the needful.
The stats might not be right but some people were lucky to escape it
DeleteThe viablility of Lagos sea ports is being made possible by the kind of dogged Government Lagos state has. And please, enough with your Biafra bullshit. Most of those states you mentioned have nothing to with that dead movement.
DeleteChikito don't I just love you? You are too smart
DeleteChikita or whatever you call yourself, you are nothing but a keyboard warrior. Get a job and a life and some education then we can argue. Till then, shut up.
Deleteyou shut up anonymous. grown individual like you, you have no better sense? chut!!!
DeleteRIP to those who lost their lives...
ReplyDeleteNigeria and their useless politics. It's clear the victims are more than 9, who are they fooling ? They should just sell the country and guve everybody their share to go and buy citenzenship else where cox at this rate I doubt there is redemption
DeleteI don't believe this. An eye witness sent me a video he recorded himself and the bodies I saw wrapped and being taken to the ambulance were way more than 9 but Well, May God comfort the families
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy on us. Why every time tanker explosion?
ReplyDeleteChai.may the souls of the dead rest in peace.53 motors burnt? Jesus christ
ReplyDeleteSuch an unfortunate situation, May God come to our aid
ReplyDeleteAre these people OK? Over fifty cars and buses got burnt but only nine people died and four injured. God blessed us enough that we don't have natural disasters but we are our own disasters. Why put tankers and trailers on the road where civilians pass and at that time? We have enough money and land to create different routes for these tankers and trailers but our useless leaders prefer to keep the money to themselves. This Abacha loot they want to share to so called poor people why can't they start by doing things like this that really matter to the poor people and save their lives instead of jeopardizing it every time. Enough is enough!! RIP to the dead.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind them,and when Buhari wants to travel by road,they clear the roads of all vehicles and drive with entourage,no movement till the selfish bigot,king of the road leaves,as if it's only their own lives that matters.container fall on you Buhari,Fire burn you down,you people just have get a taste of these horrific things happening in Nigeria,maybe you'll do the needful when you know how it feels,these people in govt must feel the pain too.enough is enough
DeleteAnonymous Bug
The soul of the dead should not rest,they should haunt the people in power so that they will not have peace of mind until they have a change of mind and make Nigeria a better place.
DeleteSuch a sad day. Lord pls help us and save your children.
ReplyDeleteIts really sad
ReplyDeleteJesus I was beyond shocked God please have mercy on this country Jesus hmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIt is ready sad indeed, I think the federal government should adopt same measures by Crossriver state government, no tanker or trailer should be allowed to ply some roads during the day. But looking at this situation, I really don't think it would have averted the tragedy. May the souls of those affected rest in peace, may rapid healings rest upon the ones with burnts and may restoration comes to all those that lost their vehicles/properties to the fire. God have mercy on Nigeria/Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been averted if these tankers had their own routes or an allocated time to move like it's done in a sane society. They ain't supposed to be on a major road with other vehicles it's wrong
DeleteAnon but you know in Lagos cars and travellers ply those routes almost 24hrs daily. Maybe the damage wouldn't have been this huge but it won't stop it from happening..
DeleteIt is well , by a Lagos law I believe that truck has no business being on the road by that time of the day. Which means somebody turned a blind eye somewhere.hmmmmm
DeleteSky then a route should have been created for them knowing how busy lagos is
DeleteAnd after a couple of days of posting this incident on social media and shouting pray for Nigeria, the government will forget about this incident, things will go back to the way they were, and it will happen again.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of lawless and ruthless country is Nigeria? They keep in on saying come home, come home, to what?
Nigeria is not safe. Our so-called leaders don’t care. I wish our colonial masters would take over from these greedy lots that called themselves leaders.
Its okay to not come home. But dont complain unnecessarily about where you are either, because there are realer issues than that.
Deletewhat is the chicken brain saying. Madam ITK what is your problem with abroad people. Whatever realer issue we have is better than this zoo called Nigeria.
DeleteAnd not all of us work in morgues and clean toilet. Some of us are professionals because I know what your small brain is telling you.
And yes I will come here to complain if and when my country of residence fucks up.
Don't mind miss chikito itk
Deletemay the souls of the dead rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThis just too sad
ReplyDeleteChai. This week is the most tragic week in Nigeria. Bad news upon bad news. The end is really really near.
ReplyDeleteTanker drivers should be banned during the day time. This will help to prevent further reoccurrence in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking!
ReplyDeleteLiars! Always reporting the wrong things. Only God can save us from this wicked country. It's as if people's live are being used to gamble, no value whatsoever for human lives.
ReplyDeleteSet laws for these tanker companies, they won't! All they care about is the money they are generating. Mtchewwww
The fear of these trucks and tankers is not paranoia , just imagine this. So who will pay for this??
ReplyDeleteIn a sane country, the owners of that truck would have rendered a heartfelt apology by now and also arranged their tens of millions of dollars.
As it is, the dead are dead. The living are left to lick their wounds and told to be grateful they even survived.
Every inch of this country is s disaster waiting to happenðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜!!
Jesus Christ, this is a sorry sight. The rate of death in this country, may God help us all Amen.
ReplyDeleteMay we never become victims for these blood suckers Amen.
RIP to the loved ones. Comfort and healing to those who were burnt.
Jesus we commit Nigeria into your hands.
ReplyDeleteTake the wheels Lord. this disaster is too much.
How can 53 vehicles be burnt, humans roasted beyond recognition and someone says it is only 9 bodies? so 44 empty vehicles just decorate road?
still in shock.
I think at this moment,we need to orientate those drivers,though the deed has been done but it is very important..take for example
ReplyDeleteA driver who has been driving for over 24hours without taking a nap is still the same person allowed to drive down a long vehicle to Ekiti state from loading unit..now tell me,don't you think the mins needs to take a nap but they won't,,,alot of drivers who sleep off why behind the wheel,u need not see them close their eyes but the mind is gone cuz he is too tired..am writing from experience...that's that..
Am just too sad this morning...
Mc pinky
In this case, Adebisi, we need to hold these organizations responsible. They dont want to run work shifts that would make them pay more salaries. They tend to overwork fewer people to the bone. And man must chop!
DeleteMost of the drivers are within 18-25.. years of age.. no orientation no nothing
ReplyDeleteAnon, they are even younger than that, God help us in dis country
DeleteLiars!! We saw images of burnt people and they were more than 9!! Who are they fooling??!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. Haba! God pls let all our selfish leaders have a taste of all these terrible happening's. Why the poor masses every time? Why God this is too much. No where is safe, you can't go about your daily business in peace again, kidnappers on kidnapping spree in Kaduna, you walk on land accident, to fly you will be afraid, robbers invaded my home took away everything they could lay their hands on wipes tear some said we shouldn't have moved yet for Gods sake is it a crime to move to your own home where you won't have to think about rent anymore?God pls save this country pls God I'm tired already.
ReplyDeleteStella all they are saying na wash wash... Over 150 lives was lost. I sent you some pictures yesterday and there are many more....May God heal this nation.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile trailers and trucks have been parked on Eko Bridge/Stadium/Alaka Bridge for more than 1 year and NOBODY has come out to say anything about the situation..If something bad happens now the stupid government will just "sympathize with the family of the victims"..
ReplyDeleteIt's a crazy country we have found ourselves in. The hours lost in the traffic caused by the parked trailers alone should concern a sane Government. Why have we resigned to fate? Is there nothing that can be done to save this country? The lawlessness among the citizens is appalling. Even the law enforcement agencies are lawless. Who will save Nigeria? Do we all have to up and move out?
DeleteIt was a terrible sight. I weep for Nigeria. We need a total overhaul I swear starting from Buhari!
ReplyDeleteHere in abuja tankers don't ply in the day time. Such law can also be apply on that Ibadan road and Lagos to reduce lost of lives and property by tankers and containers. But before taking such steps adequate security need to be put in place to avoid arm robbers too. May the departed brothers and sisters fine internal rest before God Almighty did I hear you saying amen?
