RIP to the dead. @ OP, pls how are you sure they were coming from the camp ?

Our roads are bad. Most of these inter state buses are also not in good condition . To make it worse the drivers of these buses are reckless.
May God comfort the families of those involved.

nope... they don't..... cos if they were working.... there would be lots of high speed chases and ticketing... but there is no ticketing in Nigeria...

VolvoS60:

Those of us on these boards who are within a certain age group will remember when the FRSC was first created.

The 100km/hr rule was strictly enforced. The FRSC actually had radar guns (believe it or not) and they used them. If you wanted to avoid trouble with FRSC officials for breaking the speed limit you simply left home on time and planned your trip properly.

FRSC officials actually carried out vehicle inspection at the motor parks/garages and they made sure they enforced the rules on vehicle roadworthiness. Their officials stood out in stark contrast to the police.

Fast forward three decades and the Corps is a shadow of what it once was. The price we are all paying for that is the never ending carnage on our roads.

There is no law on God's green earth that says all good things are unworkable in Nigeria. All it takes is a reasoned choice by Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable and to insist that these leaders get the system to work for the good of all. (Failing which, these leaders should prepare for the consequences).

Until we grasp this simple truth, the pain, tears and sorrow will continue.

You have just said the blattant truth.

Won lo Camp daran , Oluwa sa a nu wa o, 2day accident 2mao Ebola, this is getting worst day by day..

rip to the dead

Am sure dis accident culd hav been avoided - bt God knows best
Rip 2 d dead,speedy total recovery 2 d survivors,a heart 2 bear d loss 4 d berived

ratiken:

You were so quick to blame bad roads and the government when you weren't told on the write-up that bad road was the cause.

Even if the entire roads in this country gets fixed, we need a paradigm shift to drive safely to avoid these incidents.

RIP to the dead.

I am not here to get into a slanging match with anyone. I don't have the time, energy or patience for that.

I have my very valid reasons for my comments in prior posts. I stand by them.

I have driven (or been driven) across large swathes of Nigeria for many years. I have seen with my own two eyes horrific accidents of the kind being shown in this thread. Public officials in charge of road/highway traffic management routinely attribute the majority of road traffic accidents (RTAs) to driver error. As far as I am concerned, this approach is deeply cynical and discounts the contributory factors of very poor road infrastructure and a criminally incompetent regulatory system.

You explain away the very real problem of poor roads by glibly stating that 'even if the entire roads in this country gets fixed, we need a paradigm shift to drive safely to avoid these incidents'. For the sake of this argument I will let that bit about poor roads slide for now and take your point as given. How is this paradigm shift going to occur? Is it not through education and the proper application of incentives, rewards and penalties? Is this not typically administered by government through its regulatory agencies? Or do you have a proposal for highway traffic management/administration to be executed by your local fish seller or your neighbourhood/community watch?

Are you not aware of how thoroughly compromised the process of vehicle and driver licensing is in Nigeria? Is that a private failure or a government failure?

Focus on the real issues.

That s what happens when d culprits are caught.

all accidents are avoidable....

This life is nothing see that aunty lifeless body...

Compliance: Some rccg members coming back from camp had a fatal accident along Akure - Ilesha expressway. Some are already dead by the time we got to the scene. Christians on Nairaland please let's lift up the banners of prayers for God's divine intervention.

Merciful God! I don't know what to say anymore! *sobs* Father have mercy on Your children , sweep through our land and heal it. Let Your mercy prevail

VolvoS60:

This is heartbreaking.

I am fed up with saying RIP with each fresh calamity.

I refuse to believe that the quality of our lives cannot improve. Nigerian roads have been slaughter slabs for how long? 10? 20? 40? 50 years? Don't we deserve better? These people had families and loved ones.

This harvest of death is totally avoidable.

We must choose governments that fear us (we the people) enough to live up to their responsibilities or these needless deaths will continue.

The choice is ours.

Don't blame this on Nigerian roads please, I drive on that road, going from ife to Erin ijesha and coming back, the road is very good, I can say that, could be the driver's fault, too much speed or something else.
But that Ife - Ilesha express road is very very good, still used the road recently sef.
May their souls RIP

Well, some will say its governments fault, as if people don't travel on that same road.. To me its no 1s fault. I will always say this, its so so pointless to travel all d way from ur province in far away state in naija just for u to be at a convention or congress with less infrastruture to make you comfortable. ( Sleep in d cold for seven days, eating anytyp of unhealthy food, even toilets, bla bla bla). All d provinces in such case should do live broadcast in their churches instead of risking lives. My 2cents.

Very good. Your post proves my point that this is a regulatory failure. Governments shape behaviour by applying incentives, rewards and penalties. If the penalties for overspeeding and dangerous driving were severe, and enforcement rigidly applied, drivers would sit up. If people knew they would spend 6 months in jail for reckless endangerment on the roads, they would be a lot more careful.

This is regulatory failure in action, pure and simple.

Blood of Jesus! RIP to d dead,Lord I thank U for keeping me alive! I decree and declare speedy recovery to d injured ones. It is well

R.I.P. To die to me is a gain in Christ Jesus.( Apostle Paul). Death is just a phase in life and not the end. To be with the Lord is more gainful. Rest In Peace to death and to those who survive, the Lord speedy recovering is my whole heart condolence.
