Its so obvious that the driver was over speeding and its also obvious the passengers were silent or even cheering him on with his fast and furious 5 skills....Now they are dead not because they did not believe in God or because they didn't pray well enough but Because they were silent and failed to caution these unprofessional and reckless drivers.....

Like i keep saying,most drivers on our roads are not alright in the head...Some drivers need psychological therapy....some are having health or financial challenges at home! All these can have an adverse effect on the driver...Thats even the reason why passengers are not supposed to sleep while travelling!

For some one to drive on the highway,U need to be mentally and physically prepared so that you don't endanger other road users!
Hence the passengers must do all that is necessary even if it means shouting or yelling at the driver,please do so...!
Its Ur money....Ur safety is involved...You don't have a duplicate some where!

But why are you denying the obvious? Hasn’t the country descended into the abyss a long time ago? Let’s do away with this blond patriotism as the country is failing at every turn.

Before you board any public transport remember that the Average IQ in Nigeria is 65 ( which is considered a mental disablilty) , there is an 80 percent chance that the person driving you has an IQ of 65 and below which is considered not enough to be able to be a good and safe driver meaning you are most likely being driven by a retard who who doesnt have the requisite intelligence or reflex to judge distance and time correctly both which a critical elements of safe driving, couple that with drug use and the presence of amulets and you have a bazaar of death waiting to happen ..May God help us all

Average road drivers in nigeria has promulgated instability.

This really bursts my heart.

When will road accidents reduce drastically in our country?
When do we stop experiencing fatal road accidents in our nation?

What are the major causes of these accidents sef? Is it spiritual or man error?
Is it bad roads? reckless driving? bad vehicles? drinking while driving? impatience? nonchalant attitude? non qualified driver? ignorant?

Who are to be blamed, Government? Citizens? Drivers? passengers? Road safety
agency?


But wait o, why is that the drivers usually survive while the whole passengers die in most of these accidents?
I mostly blame the passengers.....
U see a poor vehicle,U go in and pray hoping God will lead U to ur destination using that bus...yet God gave people eyes to see!
A driver is over-speeding...instead of cautioning the driver,they say a prayer and take a nap yet God gave humans a voice to speak!


The Road safety agency to me is trying to the best of their ability(though i admit some of the officers are corrupt) but most Nigerians are too stubborn....
"Don't drink while driving"....that's when U will see some one heavily drunk driving a car!
"Don't answer a call while driving"...U will see our so called educated men & women making series of calls!

Most of us like flouting laws and yet go on social media to complain when some few officers are trying to bring sanity to our corrupt and battered system!

don't you think people are dying more on account of their ignorance and reckless behavior?
accidents occur 90% from misbehavior of drivers and their careless arrogance!
prayers won't help and even if the Pope ruled this country accident will occur as long as the person behind the wheel isn't behaving well.

It's worrisome. Imagine you are in a tricycle and the dumb rider is blasting away his life (not mine) and you try to caution him. The other passengers will just keep quiet and be waiting for God to deliver them to their destination, making you look like an “over sabi” person.

I can't deal honestly. angry

I also ask: must people travel? Make video calls and relate to your loved ones.

Whatsapp, Skype et al are there. Even the cost of transportation is high during the festivities.

It's important to note though, that if your yelling/shouting too much, e fit also make the driver/bus get accident

hausadreturn:

Thats not totally true esp when all passengers are collectively cautioning the driver!

I remember when i was travelling during my nysc service year,a corp member, first asked us to pray for a safe journey...afterwards,he didn't give the driver any breathing space...Once the driver over speeds,he ensures he gives the driver a mouthful....the beautiful and lovely part was when all the passengers added their voice and the driver quietly drove safely till we got to our destination!
Can U see what a unified entity can do to our society or some one?

For me before travelling,i first meet the driver and ask that he drives professionally and with care reminding him that he also has a family some where who would want to see him alive!

One thing U must know is that 80% of the drivers U come across on highways are not mentally fit to drive a car or a bus!
These are the things we should assist FRSC to do...They cant always be every where or monitor everyone....
Nigerians must start taking responsibility!
We can keep watching things happen while our loved ones are slaughtered by reckless entities who think they own the high way!

Thats all i can say...but if U have a better option than yelling or shouting or cautioning the driver,Please say it here....its important that we learn from each other and do our own part to curb all these unavoidable deaths on our roads...Thank U!

the drivers are also to blame. An accident occurred on lafia road due to the driver's stubbornness. While passengers were telling him to slow down, he refused and he consequently crashed into an oncoming vehicle. Luckily, the passengers escaped with minor injuries while the driver broke his leg.

You are right!
I also have to admit that drivers are also partly to blame!
But during difficult times,we have to be creative!

Some one can offer to feign having stomach upset and plead with the driver to stop while that person stools!
As soon as the driver stops,everyone should engage the driver and threaten him.....
Yes threaten him!
See bro its ur life Ohh and that of others that are at stake ohh.....So don't treat it with kid gloves!

Like i said before,most of these drivers are under some terrible influences....some are having psychological issues while some are having mental problems...Since U can't tell which,then its best to be on ur guard!
My bro life has no duplicate ohh!
There is so much i still need to do in this world and i cant let a careless driver end it like that ohh!
If some one can be stubborn enough to take his own life for granted,he should not drag other innocent people into it!
