Minister of state for Labour and employment James Ocholi (SAN) is dead.

Barrister James who ascended office about 5-Months ago died in a ghastly motor accident on his way to Kaduna on Sunday.

Starttells learnt that the minister’s wife, son and mun were also in the ill-fated Lexus 570 SUV including his aide-de-camp. Ocholi is from Kogi state.

It is yet unclear if other occupants of the car survived the crash.

A witness revealed that the accident occurred some 45 kilometers to Kaduna town where he was headed, and that the late minister had a burst tire, which caused his car to somersault many times.


Mr. Ocholi became Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2007, and Chairman, Disciplinary Committee of the Abuja chapter of the Nigeria Bar Association.

In 2011, he was governorship aspirant in Kogi State on the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change.

Between 2013 and 2014, he was deputy national legal adviser of the All Progressive Congress.

Last year, he sought the APC gubernatorial ticket at the party’s primary election, losing to the late Abubakar Audu. He was appointed minister in 2015.

Mr. Ocholi attended Ochaja Secondary School, and the University of Jos.

He graduated from the Nigerian Law School in 1986 and was admitted to the Nigerian Bar the same year.

There is more to this.

There is more to this. TB Joshua professy?

Wow! Like a candle in the wind, that is what life is. Here is the corpse of someone who had his breakfast today lying wastefully and humiliatingly by the dirty roadside. Covered with cassava leaves.

How death humiliates human beings is unpardonable.

All the dreams, plans, bank accounts, houses, expensive wears, shoes, SUVs, titles etc.suddenly extinguished in a twinkle of an eye. Big lesson. RIP James.

But, again, what is the purpose of this undignifying photo?

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity..

hmmm.... the vapour-likeness/volatility of life

RIP,may our end be well.

See what overspeeding led to. A vehicle on optimum speed won't experience a devastating effect with a burst rear tyre(s).

The vehicle is a reinforced utility vehicle. Only a high speed tumble can cause it to write off this way.

RIP to the demised.

life is nothing bug a candlelight. God always make me to understand that life can pass away anytime and always guide me to live a life worthy of a true christian.rip to the death

The best life to live, its a Christ filled life.

Ok

We look at death from the selfish side, like, “That guy died. Oh, it’s so sad.” Why is it sad? He’s away from all of this bad stuff that’s here on Earth. I mean, at the worst, he’s just somewhere quiet, no nothing. At best, he’s an angel … or he’s a spirit somewhere. What is so bad about that?

Judging from the accident photos, I guess the driver of the SUV survived.. And the vehicle in question was travelling between 110-130 miles/hr. For it to be a write off, the driver must have hit a pothole or something at that speed which must have punctured its tire, resulting in the vehicle somersaulting. Because the late minister was sitting at the back with his wife and son, I guess they weren't putting on seatbelts that explains why the ministers body is seen lying on the road side( he must have flown outta the vehicle during the impact) a similar fate for his wife and son.. The minister died as a result of the trauma he suffered during the impact. The same goes to his wife and son.. No immediate medical response to save their lives..

Recommendations as follows:

1. Don't over speed. Even though the vehicle involved in the car crash is a state of the art kinda car. A Lexus SUV 2015 model, with all Modern facilities in it, it clearly shows that you are responsible for your own safety. Had it been the driver was travelling between 80-110miles per hour before the burst tyre, chances are, he would have brought the vehicle under control at a good time or the impact wouldn't have been this devastating.

2. Always put on your seatbelts.. Seatbelts are designed for restraints. When in motion your body is exposed to external forces, and any impact takes you to the direction of the force, according to the laws of motion. Whether seated at the back or front it's very important to put them on while your vehicle is in motion.

3. Highway paramedics: I've said it countless number of times, that the reason why most people die as a result of accidents in Nigeria, is lack of quick medical attention. If the federal government can equip the road safety officials very well, by training most of them to be paramedics and providing ambulances for them, including HELICOPTERS for airlifting accident victims to the hospital at least casualty level will reduce anytime there is an accident.

4. Finally good roads.. It's no longer news that our highways need urgent attention, countless number of lives have been lost due to poor road maintenance. Our government should do something about it..
