Inkman:
the ministry of works
has to look into this matter
because the pedestrian bridges are not
strategically placed
or why should i have to walk 100-150m to cross
a highway i could have crossed aeons ago?

Its not encouraging at all!

hedonistic:
Any fool who justifies, excuses, rationalises, or even condones this sort of thing (as many commenters did on the front page) does not deserve to be regarded as a civilised human being, regardless of - or in spite of his or her level of useless education. It is ridiculous how animalistic most Nigerians and Africans are.

OK, a man crosses the road instead of using a pedestrian bridge, so what? WHAT DOES THE LAW STIPULATE? We are not a lawless country of barbarians. What exactly does the law say about not using a pedestrian bridge? What punishment does the law prescribe? That is ALL that matters. Does the law empower any random security operative to humiliate or dehumanize anyone who refuses to use a pedestrian bridge? It's really as simple as that. All this stuupid talk about why it "serves him right" for "refusing to do the right thing" is nonsensical. The law has to take its course at all times. No sane society gives law enforcement officers the liberty to punish supposed offenders anyhow they deem fit. That only happens in useless third world societies like Nigeria.

socialmediaman:
This is not right! Riot act should be read to the Nigeria police to respect human rights, this man should be arrested and given a citation at the police station, not treated this way

donnypool:

hopefully my car knock you dead.

Inkman:


oh really?
Be sure never to walk with your feet
else you'll be first to be knocked dead
brainless twerp
you dont even have a bicycle not
to talk of owning a car.

masseratti:
well that's a confirmation, but I think there is a law against offenders,better still they should be made to pay fines rather than what they did to him

How about American law that will get an African American or Native Indians or mexicans killed for less crime?

barcanista:
WTF? I hope we will not be seeing this kind of barbarian punishment under the APC led FG?

Nice one .... If he really commited that offence, he should even be made to wash 10 kilometres of that road



I still don't get why Nigerians have to be coerced to take steps which preserve their own lives

bamidele029:
It's not right however why do people Insist in behaving like children The bridge was put their for our safety yet some stubborn people will refuse to use it and if a car hits him now people will go and attack the driver and start shouting government blah blah

Even children have more sense than this man. I think they should start fining people

braindamage:
Please they should come to Abuja.....almost killed one today. Pedestrian bridges are so convenient, why do we hate it ?

Horlufemi:


crossing the road when there is a pedestrian bridge means the person is an animal or mentally sick.

Majority of Nigerians are mentally sick.

hedonistic:

Mention the law, you oaf. Or forever keep quiet and rot in your ignorance.

haywire1:

Ever heard of Acrophobia? It's real.
Some people are genuinely acrophobic not just stubborn.

dumb ass why not look at the Baltimore riot and tell me the cause of the riot. ignorant tout

braindamage:
Do you know what a vehicle moving at (100-140)km could do to a human being ? When safety is valued, I sincerely feel Acrophobia could be manage, worse still avoided or 'tactically manoeuvred'. I know how extreme phobias can be. I have a fear when I enter a bike/okada driven by someone and not I or when I drive a bicycle. I manage that fear by wearing an helmet. If the helmet is not handy, I walk(I could walk up to 5km) to where I could take a bus. Safety needs to be valued.

Bloody fool, I asked you to mention the GAD DAMN LAW you talked about. Like a typical Nigerian/African barbarian, you resort to insults.

MENTION THE LAW OR DIE IN SHAME, [size=18pt]YOU BAAASTARD[/size].

Pataki:
This is barbaric. Even though I know there are a lot of Nigerians who reasons far worse than animals; nevertheless, subjecting this grown man to this level of punishment is humanly debasing in this day and age. There are more better ways to effectively punish this kind of stubborn beings.
