For a bus to collide, it means they were following one way. Now look at it. Who is to blame?the drivers who is over speeding, the frsc that could not control and set speed limit on a one way express lane? Or the federal government for there lack of constructing the road and endless awarding of ghost contract?

The contractor handling that part of the road should be held accountable, several accidents have occurred over the past week due to one way diversion without division. this is not the case with J. Berger that divide it's own part, that gives no room for excess over speeding or overtaking. RCC should act fast it's becoming unbearable.

D fragility of life, God av mercy.

hmmmm,na only one seconds they betwn life & death oh
I saw to the two burnt buses while coming from camp today its pathetic,our driver was trying to brief us but I could not hear wat he is saying. I was like God na the same road wey I they travel naim this accident happen & anyone can be involved.calamities are just too rampant nowadays, @ Iwo rd a mini truck got burnt but was later extinguished by the help of the fire fighters.may his mercy& protection never depart our lifes in Jesus name.Amen RIP to the dead

R. I. P
I don't why some drivers they take alcohol before driving . when you start journey they will begin to sleep .
lastweek on my way from Abuja to ibadan before we reach lokoja the driver started sleep
NURTW ,FRSC and other agencies should take measures to control this act

may their souls rest in peace

I agree with you that the contractors are partly responsible as the diversions on to the one-way usually result in the head on collisions as seen in this case. What usually happens on the one-way is that the buses and smaller vehicles try to overtake the slower-moving tankers occupying both sides of the lanes. Sometimes there isn't enough space on the one-way to accommodate all of them vehicles overtaking, with no alternative to reverse once committed, the drivers then hope that the other oncoming vehicles somehow back-off, but then it's too late and the collisions occur. The drivers too should be more careful.

So sad 36 lives wasted just like that!

Such a pity. The baby will now be at least fatherless, and if both parents were in there, an orphan, possibly with no trace of any family anymore. When I do a maximum of 120km/h with a less than 2 years old Avensis newly purchased on that road, they overtake and sneer at me. I laugh and maintain my speed. Interestingly with all their zooming speed, we all meet at the old toll gate before you enter ibadan. Ditto the return journey, we all meet at the long bridge traffic before berger. Will they ever learn? Cutting people's destiny short. What baffles me most is that the passengers tacitly encourage them at least by keeping quiet. It is sad. I sorry for them, i don't generally type RIP but may their survivors be healed

That's the point, the passengers tacitly encourage them, that was how I was trying to correct one and the passengers were yelling at me. Boss even your Max on this Nigerian roads should be 100km and not 120km.

Most of these accident are totally avoidable, unnecessary death. It's best to drive oneself on Nigerian roads

All the parties actually, the road in question scares me like crazy hence whenever I need to shuttle between Ibadan and Lagos I always ensure it's broad daylight.

The FG cos the road is currently under construction, hence you find vehicles moving in opposite directions plying the same road on some parts of the road. In this modern day and age, major repairs on major highways are not what we should be contending with but here we are.

Over speeding on the part of the drivers, there are some parts of the road that will tempt you to do a fast and furious and in a situation where vehicles moving in opposite directions are at top speed, things like this are bound to happen.


It's just sad though

tyup:
sometimes i'd sit down to think
I woke up today, was it my power?

Bro, i know it's 100km but the 20 km extra is to help me manage the madmen behind me. At that speed i could still apply my brakes within a safe distance and come to an abrupt stop if I have to. Thanks tho

channels tv records 26, Nairaland records 36.... which do we bliv ?

26 or 36, the number is many! May God rest their souls Amen.

Another 36 fallen. Now ask yourself... Why them? Where they the worst? Didn't they pray?

My dear brother and sister make out time to think deep about life don't be too shallow for there is a lot we are yet to know.
RIP

Exactly my tots. We're just lucky to be alive.

This is a road I passed this morning at 11am. Lord have mercy. RIP to the dead.

OK, I now understand Sir

I Didn't even consider some crazy ones behind that may hit one from behind

All these transport company drivers should be properly checked and those animals that drive for the nurtw angle. You will not believe what they do with the vehicle once they are on the road and it's a single lane where you face the on coming vehicle. They just occupy the who road and you can least imagine what could be going on in their brain. See how they just killed those innocent people now. R. I. P to the dead.

You're very correct. Rcc should do something on time. I'm boiling here. I have witnessed several accidents due to this one way diversion without darmacation by RCC.

Yours is better, I ply that road twice every week. I have seen enough, I'm now contemplating the railway mode.

Life oh Life...... May dia souls rest in peace....

The same road my wife travelled two days ago. .. Thank you Lord.
R. I. P to the dead.

May their souls rest in peace

That road is not wide at all considering the the huge traffic on it. Last time i traversed it, i was scared facing trailers.

we should all get ready and prepare for death coz mr death must surely com somday...repent and give ur life to Christ...
RIP to d dead

as much as I want to believe every one will one day die,rather dan pushing d death button each time accidents occur,we sud rather ask the relevant authorities to do deir job properly and ensure dese recurring accidents are reduced.... 99% of accidents on our roads are caused by reckless driving....and am very sure d passengers were silent wen d respective drivers were over speeding...

enemyofprogress:
Since baba tooked over bad bad things just dey waka for Nigeria

Seriously , since he took over most dead recors was ppl roasted alife. If nairaland can go back to lastyear record ,it was full of bad news car accident, ppl burn beyong recognition.

Too much burn bodies and terrible accident. Hope he is not reversing his dead by burning innocent ppl alife.

Jehovah have mercy

I had the same experience when I was traveling 2008 for my post ume. it was God that helped me. I jump out of the window and helped a lady down too before the door could even open, it was a sad experience really


funny enough it was night journey


I wish the victims a safe landing to heaven. lord pls accept their souls

RIP to the dead.
It is by the grace of God we are alive today. God almighty I bless and praise you for the breath of life. Psalm 150:6 says let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!!.

We should live our lives as if we will die anytime.

Ooooo God Almighty, this too serious, 36 being burnt beyond recognition. R.I.P to them

All this death can be avoided if only the drivers are patient.

The government is to blame in all this.

so sad... may dia gentle souls RIP

No good news in nigeria.

So sad! I saw it this morning while plying the road to Lagos and I must confess it was a gory sight. It just happened some minutes before I passed by. The incident really changed my mood today and I can't still get over it.
One funny thing was that the place was deserted this evening around 6:40pm as if nothing ever happened there! What a life; just a vapour that appears and disappears.

May their souls R.I.P!!!

So sad!
