There are certain things that should not happen. A container falling and crushing people to death at Ojuelegba should not have happened yesterday. Why? It had happened about 2 times before in recent years in the same location and several times in other locations. The Lagos State Government, Federal Road Safety Commission and every other agency involved in securing our roads should have prevented it with strict enforcement of our road safety laws.

Sometimes, Nigerians feel helpless about the problems that confront us but I disagree on this score. It is something we should not tolerate and we should do something about. What have I done? I have tagged the governor on Twitter over this demanding something be done and I think you all can do the same or at the very least promote a campaign to raise awareness and demand that this does not happen again.

It is a shocking failure of government.

Our govt doesn't care about the lives and properties of the citizens.

They sincerely don't care and this is quite appalling

it's getting too much

all I want to say is that they don't really care about US

Ambode is busy building a so-called mega city, ignoring the finer details ..........

It's unfortunate we have a reactive government....

yea, it's always the aftermath that we suffer

Seriously Annoying Things Nigerians Do After An Accident

if the containers fail to fall in west where do you expect it to cause havoc....

and u people will still vote for ambode for second term... I sorry for Nigeria

Uhmm THIS IS NIGERIA where we don't seek for lasting solutions, jes short term reactions everything will die down.. Sigh

The governments in Nigeria are for the people only during elections, they ignore you and your problems till the next election campaign

I have been worried about this issue. It is the direct product of a failed govt system.

Why ahud a container fall of a trailer when its not like it was hit by a hurricane storm.

Better

Always waiting for persons to die before doing the needful




Blood tasting APC

Nigeria is a death trap.

Can the lashing of container stop it from falling? my little opinion is to put barrier on every Bridges for the trucks to always use d down part of d bridge.

I WILL SUGGEST CONTAINERS OPERATING IN LAGOS SHOULD TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE, GASKIYA

Long overdue

Frsc guys are nonentities

It is sad that we live in a country were alue is not placed on lives.
I have written directly to the FRSC about general road safety and what has been done in advanced countries repeatedly but it seems it feel on deaf ears.
I would write a thread on road safety as it is here in the Scandinavia where I live.
Just yesterday I got a sad news that a friesnd of mine lost his dad after being crushed to death by a truck.
