Nothing is well. Stop giving yourself and others false consolation.

Sorry

He died ☠️ ⚰️ in his sleep 😴

So bad!

“While sympathising with the deceased’s family, Mr. Bakare Oki sent his condolences.”

No. Not sympathy but JUSTICE is what we want for the dead motor boy and his family. Though no amount of money is enough to pay for the life of the child, the driver should pay all that has been spent on the child until this age.

If not because of the bad Governance of Buhari and Tinubu, this child would have been in school instead of doing this kind of odd job.

Harbinger of bad news

That was someone's Son.
What was thee driver thinking that he couldn't come down to make proper scrunity of his truck before driving it.

This news no good this new year...its too early abeg

RIP to the dead boy.Just hope he's on good terms with the Supreme Being.
The way people are dying left, right and centre even right in the comfort of their homes, nobody should be taking eternity for granted.
Recently a sitting governor of Ondo state passed on after a long battle with prostrate cancer.
Death is the one index that makes all humans equal,be it rich, poor, black,white,brown, yellow,slave or free, Atheists and Theists.
That's why we must live right always, because those who have died never anticipated the Call of God.

Shey na him fault. Ahey the idiot boy no see guter go sleep.abeg free the driver jor

Who gave him the idea to sleep under a truck.

if you have a car and you want to drive it will you expect that anyone in his right senses will be sleeping under your property? dont be too quick to blame the driver. what the boy did was stupid. first of all you dont even sleep on uder a truck now talkless of someones own.

They usually have a safe place like a hanging basket bed, to sleep under the truck without risk of being crushed.
Abi na for ground the boy was sleeping.

Sir...I would always come down to check...I do it alot.

If you're akin to trucks...you'll know that most motor boys always do naps under the trucks especially northerners.


So I know what m saying.
