Silly move. The best manufactured car can become road worthy if it is not well maintained. Introduce a system of road worthiness tests and create penalty for those who don't maintain their vehicles (just like MOT), that is more long sighted and sensible than this myopic approach. |

owobokiri:lol what won't I see..... Laughing at the "less speed" part...... So u mean the speed of those buses is quantized? They jump from 0-140 without passing through the others? Please if speed is one of the issues, then it is only logical that the problem won't lie with the bus, but with the driver And while your reps are busy fooling themselves, tell them not to forget to check the car worthiness of the road |

politricks: The lawmaker who proposed this is a derelict of the first order. What on earth did these bloody rogues do when thousands of Nigerians are dying on the roads everyday? The story only told us that the First Lady's friends died in an auto crash but did not mention the reckless abandon or speed in which the driver of the said vehicle was driving. This is just irrational from an irascible lawmaker and her colleagues. I hope the Federal Government can handle another strike by the NURTW in the event of the senate or house of reps passing the law and also be prepared to lose votes to the opposition when we go to the polls next month. |

It's as if this lawmakers are mad. They just realised this when these happen. When innocent civilians dey die then no move stupid bill than time. They think its the bus, not minding the excess alcohol intake by the driver rip to the deceased sha |

Seriously my hatred for those guys in the house of assembly is increasing by the day. How can matured and elderly adults come up with such stupid decision called solutions? Ok, first and foremost, why are they coming up with this so called solution now and Why do they have to wait till the people (female politicians) who visited the first lady died b4 bringing up this? Why didn't they bring up this solution when other unknown passengers plying other routes in the country esp ore-benin roads have being dying in same brand of buses? is this brand of buses the major cause of accidents on our highways, what about other brands of buses, cars and trailers especially tankers for conveying petroleum products daily? What are they saying concerning the east-west roads that is bad, will they leave it that way in order for them to ban other brands of vehicles? Those old thieves must be seriously mad for coming up with such a decision. |

CityNG:This is not a matter of literacy bro. I almost lost my twice December 4th, 2009 on my way home for the xmas break during my NYSC and Jan 8th 2011 while travelling to Lagos for a job interview.If I had enough money I wouldn't even think of travelling such long distance by road. What we have as roads are just "death traps". All the same, death will come when its time for it to come. |

Even if the buses are bad and not roadworthy,they won't do anything until it affects the first lady?Selfish governance since 1870 |

politricks:If that you people have sense enough , you should reason that at every section of the road, there should be a speed limit given the environment. The road safety corp should make sure that they mark all Nigerian roads and put speed limits on everyone of them. And every driver caught over speeding that limit whether govt officials should be sanctioned, in some case it can be a fine, jail, community work or the drivers license been withdrawn. |

owobokiri:I seldom comment on this forum, but I really want to address this your point. If I get a dollar every time I hear "land (road) transport is better than flights in Nigeria" from foreign based friends, I'll be rich! Flights are way safer than going by road in Nigeria. Don't believe, just check the stats. FRSC records the number of fatalities on our roads daily. I've haven't done the computation but I can bet the probability of a fatal accident happening is higher going by road. Save the major airline mishaps that happen once every few years or so, Nigerian passenger flights are safer (esp. Arik). However, I understand aero phobia is more frightening than any apprehension over road accidents. 1 Like |

The problem with the hummer (hiace)bus and its chinese cousins(IVM etc) is the NIGERRIAN DRIVER.i concede that they have a tendency to burn out when involved in accidents but that conclusion is not scientific because most buses involved in accident's these days are hiace buses only they are the most widely used long distance buses.These same buses are used in the Middle east,Australia,South Africa and Japan without much issue but the way these buses are driven in Nigeria is a clear invitation to disaster.These same buses are widely as staff buses and school buses within our major cities, how many fatalities have we recorded?.My take is that the FRSC must find a way to regulate driving practice in Nigeria. 1.The 100 kph speed limit must be enforced especially for commercial vehicles 2.Driving against traffic must be heavily legislated against. 3.Overtaking on the slow lane or driving slowly on the fast lane should be banned. These are all existing laws but nobody bothers to enforce |

East West road has been under construction for almost a decade and it's likely going to be under construction till Jonathan leaves office. |
Re: House Of Reps Move To Ban Hiace Buses Over Bayelsa Auto Crash by 100Cents: 11:35am On Feb 21, 2015 |
This is unbecoming because. 1. Hiace is the most durable vehicle for commercial transportation on our roads. 2. It is impossible citing the calibre of people using hiace buses to engage in transportation busibes.. Eg. peace mass transit. 3. The account of that accident stated that a tyre fell off a Toyota sienna at high speed and crashed into the hiace buses sparking a fire. ( multiple events ) Will they ban Sienna too ? 4. They should also investigate how fast this PDP convoy was driving when this accident occurred.. 1 Like |

ugoonuoha: Base-less. My dear, how did u draw ur sample size? I mean, how many land used vehicles as against the flight? It can't be compared, the same way u can't compare the rate of road accident in dis modern age to that of, let's say 1908, my point is ,there is no base for comparison here, he choose land to air, he has his reasons nd it suits him. so,let him do otherwise. |

That national house of fools made up of pdp and apc clowns should be scrapped because they add no value in whatever form since its creation. That house is just a lousy comedy reactionery house and nothing more, all they do in that theater is to make lots of noise eachtime any issue that affects one of theirs pops up then summon whoever that is giving them nightmares and now go on 3 months recession only to resume and continue with their stupidity. Im yet to read about any quality law these bunch of retar.ded clowns have made ever since they came on board- LEECHES! These clowns should rather make laws that ensures that Nigerian state roads & highways are well marked along with strictly complied speed limit signs that will not be exceeded along with electronic monitor's to check offenders and issue heavy fines for offenders as it is done in most civilized societies were human's are the one's occupying their legislative chambers, this is one effective way to drastically reduce the rate of vehicular accidents on Nigerian roads Will banning of haice buses by those over paid retards eradicate accidents on Nigerian roads? J5 Peugeot buses were once banned in Nigeria for transportation purposes, did that stop the rate of accidents on Nigerian roads? This buses don't drive themselves so the regulations should be for the operators of these buses, banning of those buses is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard but im not surprised since the idea emanates from idiots occupying the hollow house of clowns. These clowns travel out of Nigeria and they see all the measures put in places in those countries for the country to function properly yet they will never come back to Nigeria to replicate what its obtainable there- IDI.OTS Im sure they are gonna summon the maker's of these buses to come and explain to them why their affiliate had to die in that auto crash and then go on recess after that episode as usual. OVER PAID BRAINLESS TOUTS! |

Re: House Of Reps Move To Ban Hiace Buses Over Bayelsa Auto Crash by emekaxy: 3:03pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
In my own opinion, banning this bus is not the problem, rather they should a speed limit for commercial vehicle and ensure each commercial bus is fitted with a speed limit switch that ensure commercial vehicle don't speed above it eg (90Km/hr) and it should be among the condition one must meet to use a vehicle for commercial purposes Police, VIO and road safety will also verify it at checking point. That's my opinion menesheh: |
