Colonize us by who? Where is their no accidents? You guys really have low self esteem.
Example in US approximately 18,720 people died on U.S. roadways between January and June, 2018 compared to 18,770 during the same period 2017.
So which is worst? Una matter tire me I swear!

That about 3 full football field of humans gone just like that

Nobodyperson:

Because you have lost your humanity as your being is soaked in hatred.

This is even a bigger issue than insurgency.

Speed limit must be enforced. Nigerians must learn to be more careful and shun traffic rascality and overspeeding.

The FRSC has to do more. Come up with initiatives to minimize fatality with the view to save more lives.

This is worse than Boko Haram and militancy put together.

It is not rocket science, that figure can be reduced to over 50% and more if the right measure are put in place.

The FRSC should call for nationwide i'deas challenge' with the view to checking this menace.

I will be glad to oblige them my idea and partner with them.

It's indeed an emergency.

Don't mind that guy...they keep contrasting and comparing nonsense just to try to make sense.

Accident don turn wetin person dey take better pass person....

No be craze world be that? (In Fela's voice)

who count am

1538 death you mean not SMS code?

My country is funny. This number just gone within few months?

If we now add those killed by Boko Haram, election crises and others that will be enough figure to recharge.

We pray for peace to reign in this country.

Hmmm election sacrifice

Ministers of APC Fulani slaves had been diverting public funds for 2019 elections. After ongoing 2019 elections, political sycophantic clergymen of this zoo called Nigeria will start demanding prayers from their gullibles religious lunatics.

I dont agree with you on the causes.

I believe the 52% major cause of road accidents should be aloated to the bad roads and pot holes everywhere.

It's only in Nigeria you will see a clean road followed by a massive pot hole that can swallow your car.

Mind you, dodging them at times is not an option as it will only lead you to your death.

Spare me the over speeding shit. Not to talk of the road blocks here and there.

Last 3 weeks, a petrol tanker fell down in onitsha Express. You know the cause? Military checkpoint and their drums.
