with people mourning the same madmen that refused to do the right. thing
isn't that cruel?

life/nature can be truly cruel

"When beggars died no comets are seen but the heavens blazes forth at the death of princes" - William Shakespeare. I am not sure if I quoted him correctly. All the same, RIP, the class of Nigerians that are not worthy of national mourning! My heart goes to your families at this trying moment.

Our drivers are too reckless,everyone drive at alarming speed,i do not know why they are fond of driving at top speed even when the road are bad,certainly the road are unmotorable.

May God save us.

Wow may God receive the souls of the departed and grant them eternal rest.

Eeevery week na mass death for we country!

*soobs*

Our gov't no comment on dis news now o since yesterday, but, if na dem people now newspapers go full condolences.

The question here is why is Nigeria being governed on two tier system? Death on air or by road should be condemned and investigated properly without any biase of idiosyncrasy or personality traits of individuals involved to such death. The cause to any accidents that result to lost of lives should be abhorred by the society at large. It is wrong the way Nigerians treat the road victims as second class citizens.

I don't think it's possible to travel on Nigeria's roads without missing an accident by the whiskers at least once during EACH trip.

Travel in Nigeria is like something out of jackass.

RIP, that's all, folks!!

oloun a forun ke won

RIP to them.

I now see why people vie for top positions and would kill to get there. Nobody gives a damn about a nobody. May God deliver us. All lives are the same, wealth, position and fame is vanity

She advised people to avoid night travels, over-speeding and driving when fatigued.



Its not about being fatigue ,over-speeding or night traveling. let her go nd advice the government about the bad roads they have from olorun road to jebba. It was such a bad sight when I saw that accident... And that might be hausa people traveling to their family for sallah..God have Marcy. RIP to them

RIP
