This is terrible, shocking news.

The government should look into the issue of interstate transport...and very fast.

Death toll is alarmingly high.

The Driver should be detained if alive. If you know the condition of that road, you will understand that any driver speeding on it is on suicide mission. Terrible!

I haven't traveled to another state for wedding before,and I will not. Except if it's a person I owe so much that I can die for, which for now,such person doesn't exist.
I can count how many weddings I have been to in the last 10 years.
These people died going for a wedding ceremony of 2 people who have likely been enjoying the benefits of marriage without even getting married. Who have likely Fu cked each other to coma. Most weddings nowadays are just waste of time and resources. Just pay bride price and go home,since you have been enjoying all the kushi already. undecided

It was in 2012 when a colleague Invited everyone to his wedding in that same Ekiti, company provided a bus and those that interested enter the boss on that fateful Friday evening, there was a pregnant lady who has been praying for the fruit of the womb for almost seven year but God decided to answer her that year and she followed the bus after several warning from her husband and a friend.

We all know how Ekiti road look like (Bad and Zigzag) then that was break failure like this the vehicle submersulted , the pregnant lady who didn't use a belt flied out of the vehicle via back glass and roll down to the pit.

That's how we lost her. The wedding didn't go well, the organisation was put in sorrow, her family in sorrow.

The groom who happened to be the staff resigned as a result of the incident.

Look at that woman in blue with blood-stained clothes. Look at other surviving passengers standing around. Meanwhile, some foolish people are standing there taking pictures.

Today is Sunday.
Remember when Jesus cleaned lepers in the Bible, he asked them to go to the High Priest to certify them clean of leprosy.
Those who survived this accident should be taken to undergo scans to ascertain if there are undiscovered internal injuries and the extent of such injuries.

That's what they should have done instead of stupidity snapping pictures.

Had, not has.

Use avoided instead. Afforded is not appropriate in this in this situation.

Re: Five Wedding Guests Die In Ekiti Accident, Others Injured by Oneday82: 2:36pm On Sep 22, 2019
May God grant their soul an eternal rest and console the families. And a quick recovery to others. Most high way drivers are blood suckers and they don't care. I advice, if you are on a public transport and you notice the reckness way of the driver, please caution him and if he refuses, just ask to be dropped. IT IS BETTER TO BE LATE THAN LATE. May God keep us all alive this year and other years ahead.
