Hardly a day passed without cases of crashes on the roads and in the air. What could have been reason for this? Curse or what? May the blood of redemption spill over our lands and put an end to crashes and untimely death.

Some of these accidents could be a result of reckless drivers, bad roads. Portharcourt owerri road is very very very bad. Govt and the villagers need to do something about that road.
May God protect us from accidents. May their soul rest in peace

I keep telling people.

This world is not our home but a temporary abode and we can be called home at anytime without prior notice.To humans death is painful but to GOD its home coming and everyone must leave this world in one way or the other so the best you can do is do the needful and accept Jesus as your lord and savior this moment so that when the trumpet of your life sounds,you won't be found wanting and end up in hell with satan and the demons.

Here are 10good reasons why you must not miss heaven.

Meanwhile can APC and PDP tell us why there are so much death in Nigeria this year or is God telling us something?

Does speed kill? No because anything faster than zero is speed.

What kills is speed without control.

One can drive fast but drive well, one can also drive slow but bad.

One can also drive fast and bad, and one can also drive slow but good.

If you doubt it why do we have accidents driving slower than 100.

I thought all accidents occur when you drive faster than 100.

But that is not the case, the best drivers know that its not how fast you can move, its how fast you can stop.

So they may drive fast, but apply common sense and slow down when necessary and speed up when its sensible and reasonable.

It does not make sense to drive fast all the time and it does not make sense to drive slow all the time either.

Its striking a balance between when to move slow and when to move fast and being guided by the principle that life is a gift, so at all times, the key driving principle is to do nothing that puts life or limb at stake.

Its not merely a matter of driving at 100 or below.

That argument is too simplistic to be sensible because there have been documented fatal accidents and accidents causing disability when the speed was less than 100.

Speed does not kill, speed without control and common sense kills.

Years back, I thought accidents were caused by mainly mechanical errors and bad road networks,but reverse
is the case, human error is the cause of 98% of most accidents if the statistics is properly done, overspeeding and I don't care attitudes by most drivers, at the end they sniff life outa their innocent passengers, we need a re-orientation as regards life in this country,everything else's will be put in place once we value the breath in us, rip to the dead.

Apparently there's no different between the drivers of heavy load truck and those from luxury buses.. I vividly remember last time I travel to east in one of the buses and it was prayer for safely from terminal to destination.. Same with truck drivers who care less the nature of the road, enviroment they are driving..

It is 90% from drivers' recklessness and 5% from passengers not talking on over speeding and the rest on bad roads and other drivers.

Almost everybody in the vehicle died except 4 people that were severely injured.The injured people were rushed to a nearby hospital.

truth is, FRSC needs to commence compulsory refresher courses for commercial drivers. At least quarterly. All transport companies should support it. I've seen too many road accidents this year. I've escaped many partly because I gave the drivers tough time during those journeys. you need to see how careless our drivers are. Some think they are driving bumblebee or optimus prime, some others have no idea of highway codes. some also don't know that no Nigerian road actually has a speed limit above 80km/hr. some overtake at bends thinking they have 6 eyes. the witches and wizard factor comes last. finally I implore every passenger to always be vigilant and drive the vehicle with the driver. Don't sleep off and place your life in the driver's hands to play formula 1 with.
*just my 2 pence suggestion

What are we still waiting for the re-introduction of speed limits and its enforcement on drivers and riders alike? There should be periodic assessment of our drivers and vehicles in the commercial transport sector. Commercial driving should not be the last resort of people who can't find the job of their dreams. Like medical doctors, these drivers and riders are daily entrusted with precious lives so they should be certified from F.R.S.C. standard driving schools. Prevention will always be better than weeping.

Omo...my trip from 9th mile to Jos last time was terrifying. The driver would leave his lane with all d speed in this world. When we protested he said we were too weak and fearful. Omo, it got to a point we screamed and raised hell, he said he was doing all that to beat darkness, that his head lamps were faulty and at the rate we wanted it..anywhere darkness fell...all men to himself. We agreed! Imagine wasting two hrs looking for a mechanic known only to the company owner to get on new tyres at obollo affor and all that at our own lives.

EMBER MONTH ONE HAS TO PRAY HARDER

GOD SAVE US ALL

Nothing like ember month there abeg. Or has accident not been happening since January? What do you expect when you combine reckless drivers + bad roads + poor vehicle condition + negligence to traffic rules and regulations?

One happened few days ago along the ever busy Calabar-Itu Road involving about four heavy duty trucks. Mehn, the scene of it was so horrific. Wonder how they even managed to drive to end in such fatal collision.

May God save us pls.

No Govt will send condolences to the families of these deceased.

But an Helicopter crashed and it was all over the news, and media pages for days... Even the president sending a personal condolence note to the families of the deceased. Makes me to wonder if 'lives' are truly equal before us.

RIP to the dead...

Say no to over speeding and over confidence.
