Dear friends this is what many Nigerians face daily: insensitive and wicked drivers of trailers and tankers who do not value life. Was it not just yesterday that 11 people including children were burnt beyond recognition in Ibadan? Now this, and there are many more cases we don't get to hear about. We can tell the FRSC that it is time for them to curb this menace since they are conveniently unaware of the recklessness of these drivers and their poorly maintained vehicles. Will you join me in signing an online petition calling for the daytime ban of these vehicles or will you continue to grumble or 'leave it to God'? Remember it could be anyone in this situation tomorrow, please click on the links below to demand safer roads.

I thought them Dangote drivers are graduates, some even up to PhD level.. A slap on Nigerian graduates.. A slap on the Federal Government. And the funny thing is that the FG can't do anything about the spate of Dangote-truck-induced road accidents. You can't bite the finger that feeds you

Re: Trailer Driver Smashes Vehicles To Escape Accident by obailala(m): 7:54pm On Jul 02, 2013
This is the exact reason Dangote decided to start employing graduates as drivers.. Hopefully in the near future, the graduates will completely replace all these igboh smoking and burukutu consuming drivers.
Re: Trailer Driver Smashes Vehicles To Escape Accident by delishpot: 9:58pm On Jul 02, 2013
All those saying it was not his fault the accident occurred, biko who was supposed to help him make sure all locks, bolts and screws in his truck are well secured? Last year we lost a family friend who was about to get married cos the back door of a container carried on a truck suddenly opened while the mad man was on high speed hitting the poor guy on his head and he died hours later. Biko, they should teach those animals simple safety tips and rules and how to apply them before using the road and killing us all. Maybe if they fine them heavily and bare them from using the road for a specific period of time they will train their animal drivers well. Shior. Them for don cause sorrow for peoples family now.

Though I applaud this initiative and pray more like these would spring up, I have to ask if the day time ban of these vehicles in necessary.

I have seen developed countries, that seem to have gotten things right, allow trailers to move in the daytime. Its just that they are confined to certain lanes, and those rules are enforced 24/7, 365.

The driver of a trailer, identified as Umar, caused panic on Monday when he attempted to escape the scene of an accident.

The incident, which involved a Sinotruk trailer with number plate KANO MKK 37 XA belonging to [size=18pt]Dangote Cement Company[/size], and a Nissan Vanette bus, marked LAGOS EKY 631 XC, happened on the Calabar-Itu highway.

In Nigeria, the poor are always the victims of all kinds. Trailer drivers in Nigeria have forgotten that they are humans too. Firstly, anyone who is hereby defending Mr Umar, the said driver of the involved trailer is lacking something in his or her sense either common or deep one. I put it to Mr Umar that, as a trained trailer driver, he at first, should inspect the vehicle assigned to him before getting on the road and by doing this, he will then be able to find out any faulty thing in the vehicle which may cause his day a bad or bloody one and get them corrected mechanically before handling the steering-wheel, such as locking the loosed cover of the sides of the trailer which resulted the accident as said in the news.
Secondly, l'm not advocating extra-judicial killing such as lynching. But, those evil ones among other good Nigerians should be warned, they should try their best to give up their evil lives (thoughts) before the society start deciding for them, like lynching them in a slightest transgression of societal natural laws. No one can stand extremism of any kind. Therefore, let some evil minded Nigerians be aware of this and got a repentant mind within themselves, cos every day never come with blessings.
Finally, to Mr Umar, he should thank his stars that angry mobs didn't catch him and his company on time otherwise they would haved lynched (ALUUED) him before the arrival of those two riot policemen. And, Mr Umar's denial of knowing that his vehicle's side cover open and caused havoc on other vehicle is a fruit of wrong gesture.
Nigerians, please start changing inward, l mean, right from your individual minds for good, in order to evite the inevitable irate mobs or nozzles of the hangmen or the bullets of the military firing squad. Nigeria will be good when Nigerians begin changing from their thoughts (minds), that is how and where change starts. Thanks to you all there with good minds. Please,join let's build a country of our pride.

The driver of a trailer, identified as Umar, caused panic on Monday when he attempted to escape the scene of an accident.

The incident, which involved a Sinotruk trailer with number plate KANO MKK 37 XA belonging to Dangote Cement Company, and a Nissan Vanette bus, marked LAGOS EKY 631 XC, happened on the Calabar-Itu highway.

The accident occurred when one of the side tail-boards of the trailer opened unexpectedly. It smashed the bus, which was by its side.

The door and window frames of the bus were sliced with the driver and two other passengers on the left flank of the vehicle sustaining serious injuries.

The driver, who was obviously aware of what had happened, however, ignored the people who flagged him down.

Instead, he accelerated and ran over a security barricade in his bid to escape.

The driver brushed two other trailers and shoved some vehicles on the road aside.

On getting to the Ekim-Itam junction in Akwa Ibom State, the driver veered off the road, destroying security barricades.

No fewer than 15 vehicles, including a police van followed the fleeing trailer.

Immediately Umar halted the trailer, he jumped down and attempted to escape alongside three other occupants of the trailer, but they were apprehended.

Umar and the three others, who identified themselves as Iliasu, Sumaila and Talihu, narrowly escaped being lynched by some occupants of the vehicles that pursued them.

It took the intervention of two riot policemen to calm down the angry commuters.

When asked why he did not stop after the accident, Umar claimed that he “was not aware of what happened.”

But one of the occupants of the trailer contradicted his claim, insisting that the driver was actually trying to escape.

Umar said the truck was detailed to Calabar to supply bags of cement to a customer, adding that they were on their way back to Obajana in Kogi State.

The police detained Umar and his accomplices, while the trailer and the bus were taken to the Police Station at Itu.

Riot policemen ko, stupid journalism in Nigeria
Obedience is better that sacrifice, e for just wait and
the whole wahala would have been on Dangote, now see what he
has caused now
1. He will be sacked
2. Dangote might use his salary and gratuities for repairs
and he might just end up in prison for a very long time

Do you think he sacked all his previous drivers There are many lunatics among them.

I have seen two Dangote trucks, one trying to overtake the other, the slower one refusing and both of them dangeroulsy rammed into a rock by the roadside. Those boys do not care about life.

The policy is that you pick your goods from the nearest depot or your shop wont be far so that the driver delivers to you from the depot.

Goods arent yet yours till its deliverd to you. The dealer loses nothing.
