I saw it this afternoon.

I couldn't help but wonder how it happened because there is always traffic on that road.

all4naija:

Shut the f**k up! I can stand somebody like you who is contented with poor development! Indeed, I can't see any traffic light on that road in the first place.No road signs and you expected not to see death in a bad road as that on the images. Dude, don't make me get mad at you! This is human life we are talking about here and one of the drivers must had galloped out of the undulating surface and lost control of the vehicle. Please, this is blamed on poor road development!

Cajetanspeaks:
On the contrary the cause of this accident probably will be the good condition of the road which led to drivers over speeding.

all4naija:
Keep praising mediocrity in your ignorance! Government is responsible to citizens, fix roads and make their uses clean to save lives. Only in Nigeria roads which aren't tarred are good roads. Nonsense!

Yes, I don't know about that road but the images say otherwise. It is not even tarred in the first place and there is galloping surface close to where the accident happened! Jeez! I think you are the one who knows the road very well and can explain to me if what I said about the road from those images aren't true. I am waiting for your reply.

Cajetanspeaks:
Abuja is a developed nation in a third world country, a visit will convince you.

GreatFatherson:

I have followed your posts on this thread and they are truly comical and silly. You are just clutching at straws looking for ways to blame GEJ for a non existent problem. People who know that road first hand including myself have stated repeatedly that the road is excellent and this unfortunate accident was probably caused by reckless driving and/or mechanical failure but you insist on this silly charade.

It is this sort of childish rants that is damaging the our view of the level of maturity of the opposition in this country.

Pls folks out there. IGNORE THIS FELLOW. Let's proffer matured and realistic solutions to prevent this type of incident.

Do you call this a good road on the image below? Jeez! Smh...! You primitive person!

If by now the FRSC and Nigerians in general had accepted to have all vehicles install my car CCTV, you would have found a drastic reduction in road mishaps. They insist they must continue to suffer so that I may remain poor. As I always say, the Bill Gates, Jobs and Bransons of this world would be poor had they been Nigerians. The society, that's the problem. If ppl knew that whenever any accident occurred, there would be video evidence, it WILL affect how they maintain their cars and how they drive. I've made proposal upon proposal, pursued even individuals all to no avail. If I were in a country where people had a brain, I would have been a very successful businessman by now. Let us continue to be mumu; we deserve all our woes

GreatFatherson:

I like your zeal in promoting the product that you are selling. However I want to remind you that prevention is better than cure. The simplest way to reduce accidents is by reducing vehicle speeds. If you are promoting speed limitation devices, that will make a lot more sense in our situation.

Also because your product is not well received does not mean that Nigerians don't have brains and that Bill Gates wouldn't have succeeded in Nigeria. Do I need to remind you that Dangote is a very rich man who made his money using the same monopolist strategy as Microsoft Windows OS from Bill Gates.

Quit blaming and castigating everyone else but yourself. If your product is not receiving adequate patronage then change your marketing strategy or product or mindset.

Whatever happens, don't give up. You will surely succeed. Amen.

My dear I know this is an anonymous forum and you don't know me. I appreciate your imput though. I'm not your average Nigerian; at all
1. Speed in and of itself does not kill. It is whether you collide with sth or not or whether you lose control of your vehicle, both of which likelihood is increased by speeding I know. But slowing down can never save you from accidents and have even caused a few. I've had an accident in which ppl died and it happened in a place where we could simply never be "speeding" (assuming 100+km/h). It had to do with visibility and we collided head-on and the other party's casualty had no seatbelt on.
2. My dear, it IS a prevention. Contrary to your speed-limiting idea I just addressed, this one is an accountability device which if everyone or most people have it, it is like the judge or the govt in your car monitoring your driving. What better incentive to drive properly? Tell me.

Y'know: I didn't invent it. I'm just trying to introduce it. It was invented and in use in countries where people are more reasonable. It isn't even needed in those civilised countries as the ordinary man there is a reasonable man. In Russia where they're crazy drivers comparable to Nigerians but less so, virtually every vehicle has it.

So thanks once again but not everyone in Nairaland is a young boy who has no life experience.
PS: I'm not taking you on with malice but if I keep quiet all the time, ppl go away with wrong impression. I don't know how old you are but if you knew the '80s and earlier, it is Dantata family you'll be hearing of, acclaimed as possibly the richest Northern family. Well, it so happens that Dangote is a Dantata too. He bears a different name because it is a female Dantata that went to marry Dangote to bear him. At 20yrs old, Dangote was already a friend to Head-of-State Obasanjo and they'd already given him one import license which would make you rich in your own right. My friend, the life is not as simplistic as you see it, especially in Nigeria

Mr man, listen to people that know the road! I have driven counless times on that road and it is very good(no pot hole). The red undulating surface in the pix is the SIDE OF THE ROAD, not the ROAD.The road is where you see cars in a hold up behind the 2 accidented cars(that road goes over the bridge and leads to Wuse market).That is a tarred road! It is the momentum from the serious impact from the accident tha flung the 2 cars to the side of the road.infact there is a wide expressway that leads to sheraton/central area, few metres in front of the side of the road those 2 cars are in the pix. Abuja roads are fantastic; I don't think there is any city that has roads as good as abuja's in nigeria!

GreatFatherson:

Your post is insightful. I will ponder over it. Have a wonderful Sunday.
