I was coming back from village when I arrived at upper iweka (asaba park) precisely when a tank carrying fuel fell in front of the park and ignited fire. Many lives were lost and also buses. Bodies of victims are as many as 50 and counting.

l am still thinking of what to say

Awwwww dats bad.May they Rest In Peace.May we neva die like this IJN!!!Click like to say AMEN. *Modified*In some African countries,Tankers,Trucks,Trailers...any heavy duty vehicle are not allowed to be on the road by 8am-9pm.If this is accepted by the Nigerian govt,it will go a long way curbing the fire and road accidents by these heavy trucks.

God.... Rip to the dead...


Gory pics, jeez

Ezenwammadu:

hmmmm

Fuel tankers and big truck should have their own private lane

This is serious. This will never happen to us in this new dispensation

God have mercy

Hmm...

God accept their souls..
Rip 2 d dead

Lord have mercy

My father! My father! Why has thou forsaketh thy creations?

This isn't about saying "RIP", People should be held accountable for this. What caused the tank to fall? Is it bad road? Then hold the government for it. Is it from the fault of the tank? Then hold the company for it. BTW which company is the tank conveying fuel from? Come to think of it, these are the same people boasting of how they have so much fuel even in scarcity and now that abundance fuel is what roasted many.

Holy Jesus son of God.

Most of them left home this morning not knowing what gruesome fate awaits them. I pray God gives their loved ones the fortitude to bear such painful loss and grant them eternal rest.

Their loved ones doesn't need fortitude, what is best is not to let them die in the first place.

RIP to the victims...

What da hell is this?

I feel even worse, cos I know NO ONE will be held accountable. The affected people here are mostly likely the less-than-well-to-do and perhaps semi-literate park thugs, people who don't even know enough to demand justice, people who aren't even sure of breakfast the next day. And we all know what the authorities are like.

Your average Nigerian is now wired to just say "eyaah, R.I.P", and move on. Terrible.

Oh my God!

OMG! RIP to the dead

RIP

But it has happened.

God save me from Hell fire. In you I seek refuge from Fire... The most deadly of all your creation.

Sometimes I wonder what's the purpose of STRUGLING.
When DEATH could just come so swiftly to wipe things OUT.

RIP TO THE DEAD..

ah, e wo omo eniyan bi oku aja, yeeeekpa , anywax r.i.p to the dead

as in.... I feel privileged to be alive.

Short of words

[size=18pt]Tragic!!![/size]
