so painful.

I know God protects but I always tell my brothers in school never to enter a car a fellow student is driving. Not that they can't drive but statistics show that these type of things happen often.
Thank God they did not follow them on this trip.
RIP

Disasters everywhere.. Oh God!

It is well. May the souls of the departed rest un peace, quick recovery to the injured, and God's consolation to the bereaved.

RIP

God Have mercy

HmHmm

O God! please Have mercy and Heal your children... Pls Lord.

I remember a guy who frequently drives this bus, Dada Blessing....I hope he isn't there hmm...RIP to the dead so sad

I don't think it's about speed, what I heard from school is that a drunk motorcycle ride hit the bus and the driver lost control

Rip to the dead and speedy recovery to the injured ones

Firstly, were their parents aware they were going for a religious program outside school?

Students should try to minimise several of this kind of journeys and stay in school.

I remember way back in school when 4 RCCG excos lost their lives near Badagry bc they went to attend d burial ceremony of one of their other exco's Grandmother.

RIP to d dead kids. How would their parents take this news?

Lord have Mercy...

Nawa o...May their souls rest in Peace...I guess its not over speeding sha..Its well

Chai... Ibule is a 4 minute drive from futa oo..that ibule road too dey suck blood. I don witness 3 accident now.. R i p to the dead.... Proudly futarian

Lord have Mercy.
Ibule-Soro is still the way we left it, accident upon accident. I thank God for watching over me during my stay in that community. I rode on bike with my colleagues countless times. One of our bike customers lost his like along the same road but he was alone though.
I pray the Lord accept the souls of the departed and grant the injured speedy recovery.

Quite unfortunate.

issue is when you are driving everyother driver is mad . its your duty to be at alert nd control ur speed. if it was a moderate speed chances re high that he wont lose control or be tempted to press break urging a somersault. i might b wrong tho but i see speed here

Hele ooooooo, na Rcf ooooo, so painful... Rip to the departed souls
