At around 2.13pm this Sunday afternoon, a petrol tanker laden with full load of fuel lost control and ended in the gutter at the center of the major road somewhere around Enugu town. As the tank tipped to one side before the vehicle stopped, fuel was visibly gushing from the top of the tanker and trust Nigerians, they pounced on the truck and started fetching fuel from the tanker.
When will this country ever change?

Well, I didn't wait to see whether the vehicle will burst into flames as I had an appointment to meet, so I left them there.

Menh!Nigerians are thick headed,they never learn.Where are the emergency services?They should have cordoned off that place as soon as it happened.

And poster what did you do to save the situation?Did you call the emergency service?

Abject poverty abi abject greediness? Dont mind those stiff naked Nigerians they will neva learn. How much fuel can some1 scoop to risk his life? Mtchewwww

Is that a mopol amongst them? . Why are people so stiff necked!!! Trouble is sleeping and yanga go wake am. Na wa o.

Are those two mobile police (MOPOL) collecting their share too or what? Chineke!

Seems to me like the driver se that situation up....

Hunger - I wouldn't wish it upon anybody!

next thing is poof and my people die en-mass.

ebere1712: next thing is poof and my people die en-mass.

We hope not

Are those two people on uniform not mobile police?
I dont think they are doing anything illegal.

There is a risk of explosion of the petrol tanker, this is very dangerous.

abi you no sabi our police again? They will want their share of the action

To even think that the mobile police are present when such an act is being done...with no hope of stopping them is a shame to the nation.

Oh my God! And if its burst into flames now,they ll all perish like roasted Muslims rams. Im off here before it sparks into flames. Fellow Garrilanders,beware of that product cos its highly inflamable!

NPF!!! What is wrong with some Nigerians, this is certainly not poverty but greed and convertiousness. Nigeria Police at their best. Hope the next post on this will not be roasted bodies.

Poverty Na BAD thing.
Even when people stare directly at what can possibly kill them, hunger won't just permit them to reason correctly.

D level of poverty in sm parts of dis country seems 2 ve eaten there minds as well.Everytin goes.

I don't think this is poverty. These guys are able bodied. If it bursts into flames they'll start blaming the Govt.

redsun: And poster what did you do to save the situation? Did you call the emergency service?

Yes ooo!
He called the emergency service peeps.... and when they came, they too started scooping fuel!

Or did you not see some of them in MOPOL Uniform!

Spyder, abeg, commot that area quick, bad news no go follow your side.

Let "suiciders" eat the fruit of their hard work.

Lastpage!

redsun: And poster what did you do to save the situation?Did you call the emergency service?

Emergency service? Huh
You are a long way from home bro.
The poster and the two law enforcement officers there , who is more obligated or has means to call the services

When anything bad happens now people would blame it of President Goodluck Jonathan, Satan or on other imaginary beings.

Greediness is the bane of our society. How much fuel is worth risking one's life for. The maximum capacity of a tanker is 33,000 litres how many of that would a single person scoop in a situation like this. I bet you in the next few minutes, the number of persons there would have tripled.

Even without the emergency services being called, are people so stupid that they did not know that scoping fuel is a suicide mission.

Take the risk and join the millionaires

izuch: Take the risk and join the millionaires

Yes you are very correct...In Hellfire.

people no dey learn lesson sha! Them wan chop oil money by all means even if it means dancing alanta for devil door-mot

Nigerians will never learn from history...
