Baby Falls Off Mum’s Back On Okada, Crushed By Truck by Tolexander: 7:21am On Dec 24, 2014
UGHELLI—A heavy duty truck,
conveying crates of soft drinks,
yesterday, at the Okorodafe
Roundabout in Ughelli, Delta
State, crushed a four-month-old
baby girl, who had fallen off the
back of her mother travelling on
a commercial motorcycle,
popularly known as Okada.

According to witnesses, the
mother of the baby, who is in her
30s and simply identified as Ese,
was said to have been struggling
to adjust the wrapper with
which she strapped the baby to
her back, while the Okada was in
motion.

One of the witnesses, identified
as Efemena Okiemute, told
Vanguard that the baby fell on
the middle of the road and was
immediately crushed by the
truck, which was directly behind
the Okada.

When Vanguard visited the
scene, officials of Ughelli
Command of the Federal Road
Safety Commission, FRSC, were
seen clearing the remains of the
dead baby from the road.

Its quite unfortunate but how can that be possible? It shows that the woman is not really expecting the child at his birth. In fact, permit me to say she is not a responsible woman.

My God!
shocked My God!
That was how I saw a woman few days back, on the bike with her kids behind her, I was like, if she falls off now, her ancestors Don enter am.. people will remember that she fought someone last week and all sort... There are some things we can just avert.
why don't we keep holding on to precautionary motives?
It's a sad news, though.. But she has learnt her lesson in a hard way.
God, keep helping us to put cautions as our watchword.

This news makes me cringe.

Excuse me, why didn't she get the baby off her back? Were there 4 persons on the bike? This is just the height of BS I've seen all morning.

This is crystal clear carelessness. Moms who hustle with their infants should glean and learn.

The baby's mum should just go to her father's house from the scene of the accident and send emissaries comprising all living and dead realtions of her's and her husband's to him. This is an act of carelessness that will only take a super- human to forgive.

Whenever I see women on OKADAS with BABIES STRAPPED on their BACKS , I imagine this scenario. I think it is time tthe government makes a law on giving permits to qualified adults to start a family.


GSKing:


Look at your effing self. She should grovel because she lost her baby which if left at home, dad wouldn't take care of or a maid would beat to coma.

How insensitive could you ever be to think that the loss of this child couldn't affect her but the baby's dad alone?
Who effing carried the pregnancy and nursed the deceased baby for four good months?

She should also be consoled by whatever means possible. She's the mother of the child, she needs all the love and care she can get right now from every member of her gaddem nuclear and extended family.


Onegai:


Please will you buy her a car? Will you buy all mothers a car?! Why not actively think of safe practises to regulate okadas (I'd prefer an outright ban and equip and train tricycle riders) you're blaming the mother. Have you ever strapped a kid to your back, sometimes, you feel them loosening. It's an unfortunate and tragic accident. But if you cannot pay taxes that will enable us to provide every mother with a govt approved vehicle (impossible) then don't blame her.



The xmas is not too rosy, but you both don't have to take it out on me. Read my post with intelligence. I highlighted the areas of ambiguity to the two of you.

Women should strap their babies in front of them(babies belly on theirs) while on a bike in motion. This is safer and afford the mum the opportunity to also hold the child with her hands and control his/her movement.

I also understand that we all don't have cars and have recourse to okadas to commute from one location to another.

This kind of scenario is definitely hard to judge, mistake has no bound. Am sure the lady would never have wanted her baby to slip off, all she was doing was making him/her comfortable. So also, there's no way the driver would have averted that.
And not until something horrible happens, people will never see the error. Cos am sure you've seen thousands of women backing baby on Okada before now
