Painful death

It's funny to think everybody alive would die. Hahahahaha including you. Hahaha if that doesn't send chills down your spine then


Welcome to the light.

Just like that, it caught fire. It didn't crash with anything. Omoh this is so sad. One of the worse ways to go down 6ft: been burnt alive.
Even a child too..

It's sad, one way or another we all will leave this world.
I hope to leave peacefully in my sleep and in my house when the time comes.

Eyah....Rip to the dead.

This I have seen

Speedy recovery to them.. Going out and coming in peacefully is something that is underrated.

Hmm

Ok

But September please be fair.

That vehicle must have been giving the owner signs but his greediness, carelessness and stubbornness has led to the death of many people. He should be prosecuted accordingly..

By the way, it appear the mandated road worthiness/inspection by the Lagos state government is only for private cars? Cause if truly it's for both private and commercial cars.. 95% of commercial cars in Lagos won't have any business on the road.

This country don tire pesin aswear!!

May their souls rest in peace

Rip

The blood sucker have used their blood for political empowerment, after collecting their blood, he ran to London for renewal of energy and convanant. GO AND VERIFY.

why the recklessness?

Question:

Hope that bus has road worthiness and passed through inspection center just like what private cars are passing through?

We are tired of this fire fire

Christ!

This world sha

Rip to the dead

G

And the impatient driver escaped and killed people just like that.

May their soul rest in peace

Probably over load d bus whereby not allowing passengers to escape
Those bus should check and should be carrying one 3 passengers on a row
