You are a fool! Compare your father to Buhari first..

Buhari is a product of Nigeria's defective system of leadership. In saner climes, Buhari is not mentally qualified to even greet my father good morning.

I don't know about your father. It's possible Buhari actually is more intelligent than your father. I suspect that's the case and I won't reduce myself to having a vituperative exchange with you.

Be smart. So you expect the commissioner to name the owner in public? So that people can go and attack or linch him?

It's a no brainer. Think smart.

.......RUBBISH......


How can a whole Nigeria be epitome of stupidity.

Is high time we wake up from our sleep and face the reality.

Okay, Nigeria did not convert a truck that was designed to carry a 15 ton rig drilling machine to a 30 ton fuel tanker. Average citizens like you did.

If the ports in other states become operational,tanker and trailer accidents would reduce because they'd cease to ply the highways frequently. But no! The owners of the tankers especially are in the corridors of power-mostly politicians and some govt contractors.

Which company owned the truck, and hope they have a third party insurance, cause payment must be made for the damaged properties and lost lives

This country is a joke

Sadly true
PearlStreet:
After a careful consideration of the level of governance in Lagos under Ambode and it's impressive response to issues compared to the mediocre government of Buhari, I have come to the unavoidable conclusion that Buhari is not mentally qualified to be a conductor in Oshodi not to talk of being a Councillor in Lagos.

A typical Nigerian bureaucracy is REACTIVE and not PROACTIVE. All these rules would never had even be thought of, if the accident hadn't happened.
What makes you think even these 'Reactive' policies will be implemented. The person that called Nigeria a shxxhole country knows what he was saying!

The implication of that statement is either they don't want to release the name so they can arrest the owner surreptitiously or the owner is a Born To Rule so they have to close the case quietly

Mack did not build the tanker.

They built only the truck. And then when it got to Nigeria the brainiacs started using a 15-ton truck to haul a 30-ton load. They then performed other modifications to convert it into other than the designed purpose by the factory. I bet they never contacted Mack to help them reconfigure the vehicle.

This vehicle should never be called a Mack again.

"truck was designed as a 14,959kg (approximately 15 ton) drilling rig with low bed, but it was converted in Nigeria from a drilling rig to fuel tank carrier to carry 30 tonnes"

Basically the heavy duty variant of the jokers who sell panel beaten salvage cars

Everyone in lag with a car pays for a roadworthiness certificate. Ambode may however push for a real and proper certification this time. The tanker drivers are in an indefensible position.

Hope there would be physical inspection of the trucks before being certified road worthy, not drivers going to the offices to collect certificates and pay for them without the officers siting the trucks.

HMMM!! medicine after death.

Now those at the Ministry Of Transportation where this certification will take place, will start/continue to collect bribe, create delay through the normal bureaucratic system and terrible paper work.

We should expect fuel scarcity in Lagos soon because those NNPC guys will down tools or delay delivery to cause mishap and hardship for everybody.

We will be the one begging them to start work and condemn govt actions. This govt is a failed one. Death! Death!! Murders everywhere.

Did they have to wait for such an atrocity to happen, before they acted?

Our problem is not lack of laws, but proper enforcement methods........
