Good. He should be arrested and prosecuted. There should be any room for pity as regard this case.

They should also gather what actually happened from the passengers who survived. They'll be in the best position to tell us what really happened and what made the driver not to stop.

Because of his carelessness and recklessness, people lost their life and people got injured. Let him listen to the music.

Everyone with half a brain knows that driver's recklessness killed those people!

In a developed nation, he will looking at a minimum of a decade in jail for voluntary manslaughter!

Commercial drivers should not practice daredevil stunts on the road.

The BRT driver might be having mental problem or he is a frustrated soul. The details of the driver should be released and investigation should be carried out about him.
Bid a Nigerian, he could be going through the same problems you are also going through

All these lawlessness is courtesy of the law enforcement agencies. They don't obey the laws and thereby making the people not to obey it and we also lack safety culture in this part of the world. This driver's should be well train. If it's a develop country, they will stop him from driving and collect his driver's license but here either he doesn't have the driver license or maybe if he comes out they will give him another bus to drive.

If he is "obidient". Kill him without trial because those guys can't think. No matter his tribe, once he is "obidient" he obviously without brain.

RIP to those who lost their lives and we wish otgers quick recovery.

Please people a 2-5minutes wait would have avoided this mishap. Please let's be patience. Now, he has put so many people in untold hardship and eternal heartbreak. May God forgive him.

Nigerian Railway Association should not exonerate themselves over what happened... They got 48% of the blame in my opinion...
What safety measures did they put in place to make sure that citizens were safe on the road?

Was there a barrier or barricade in place that prevents motorists from crossing at every rail line intersections?
Was there an Alarm bell in place that warns pedestrians at railway intersections whenever a train is approaching the intersection?.. (incase they have earphones on)πŸ””πŸš¨

It is really easy to point fingers but they failed in their own part to secure the lives of those motorists as well that lost their lives.. assuming there was a barrier that is automatically or manually operated, that driver wouldn't have attempted to cross 🚧🚷
the other drivers that stopped for the train to pass what signs did they see!?

No be on this same Nigeria that drivers jumps red lights with careless abandoned but the same driver won't try that when in another country, here driving one way is common. Even with measures people tend to offend rules and regulations in Nigeria.

lol. First of all, where is the light to control the railways crossing barrier? Even there was a solar option, they will steal the inverter and battery. You dey talk as if you are not in Nigeria. Ordinary manholes cover in Asokoro, they are stealing everyday. You put street light, them steal am, you do train tracks, them steal the tracks. If you know the losses NRC is incurring, you will weep for Naija. This blame should totally go to the bus driver. I am sure he is used to this route, na stubborn head or hurry dey cause some of this nonsense.

You are correct. Any level crossing within metropolis should have Level crossing gate so the question is where is the "Gate"? Railway whatever should answer the question.

Accident do happen whether you are a good driver or a bad one, what's important is how quick medical services can reach the victims to stabilize them. It's obvious that the driver is probably unaware of road signs which I doubt because they are retrain, or he has other personal issues or just plain Lagos inpatient. Me I suggest Medical Helicopter Ambulances be donated to the Nigerian Air force and there could be a Service Level Agreement with various states to lift their medical emergency.

Most times, there is always NRC staff that stops vehicle from crossing when train is approaching. But this BRT drivers have this feeling that they are driving government busses and can never be arrested for floating traffic rules and tend to do whatever they like on the road.

All this brt drivers weren't trained always driving recklessly not even consider that they are driving long vehicle.

It is NOT a BRT bus. It is a staff bus. BRT drivers are well trained. Training does not mean they won't make stupid mistakes

When I read about the train accident I knew fault would be the driver's cause cars are expect to not cross the rail when the hear train.
HE EXPECTED THE TRAIN TO STOP FOR HIS SMALL BRAIN

That is a way to start. However, the NRC is also to be blamed.
Why are there no barriers on our level crossings?? In those days, these barriers used to be available on major railway crossings and they have staff dropping them when a train is approaching.

Nowadays, you’ll see railway staff holding flags to stop traffic. This country keeps going backwards.

Something similar happened in Abuja last year. A simple barrier like this would have saved lives. Yet we wonder why the life expectancy in nigeria is very low
I agree with the barrier usage, but spending so much time blaming the NRC is appalling. What made the stupid driver accelerate? How many minutes of patience would have prevented this?
