After The killings of innocent Biafrans and some people claimed it was a good call, Nigeria will see more death than a country that's actually in civil war. Quote me after 5 years, it will never be better no matter who rules!

Just wanna ask a simple question...who is supposed to check the safety indices and road worthiness of these tankers and other large vehicles? Is it FRSC? Cos I have never seen such before. All they do is 'disturb' small vehicles

Your thinking in my direction......that is how clueless they can be

Its a pity people lost their lives in this tragedy. After this incident, a God up there will still judge and condemn some of them to hell despite the ordeal they went through in their final seconds in life before coming to him. This one na real double wahala for dead body. Na real frying pan to fire.
May their families have the strength to bear the loss.
From Jos to russia to Lagos, it has been a black June indeed.

When we fail to put things right because of our selfish attitudes in this country, is gradually killing us..Most of the things happening to us we caused them ourselves..Nigeria has become a dead zone, recording reads in a daily basis..until we all start to do d right thing , to put things in d right shape, this country will continue to sink..RIP to d dead.

May God in his infinite mercies console the families of the departed. God saved us in Jos Thursday morning (Bukuru express) from a similar tragedy. I tanker laden with fuel fell blocking one lane of the express. Security agents quickly cordon off the segment of the road to vehicular movement to avert disaster.

From; Amagitesblog.com

A tanker laden with fuel caught fire this evening on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, on the bridge near the Otedola Housing Estate, claiming lots of lives and cars.

A school bus with kids in it reportedly got burnt too.

A man whose car got burnt in the explosion has told when he saw the tanker fall and when he quickly took his phone and left his car when he saw fuel gushing out.

According to him, he also told another man parked behind him to run out, but he refused.

Watch video of the man speaking here; https://www.amagitesblog.com/2018/06/otedola-bridge-fire-man-whose-car-got-burnt-narrates-how-he-quickly-escaped-before-the-explosion.html

I like this man, he who serves kola does not kneel down, the knowledge and use off safety is dead to the wreck less

A different route needs to be created for these tanker drivers. The dangers they pose to other road users is way too much.

Let me see the idiot that will come & open the dirty gap on his face called mouth to blame Buhari for these deaths. Death is inevitable any day anywhere so stop the politically motivated blame gaomes!

This is the second thread you made this kind of comment. Must you politicise everything. People are grieving and you are here talking about Buhari and PDP. Just stop this attitude not everything must have a political undertone to it.

It is not about different route it is about obeying law and enforcement. They were told to move only at night in Lagos, they won't listen.
Also the pipelines are being constantly vandalize, but can we really compare the cost of repairing the pipeline and watching it from vandalism to the cost of lives that was wasted yesterday alone?

Buhari has a lot of blame in this unfortunate incident. He s got the power to sanction those tankers to only move products in the night, The blood of the innocent citizens that has died since they took over in 2015 are crying vengeance.

Madam hell is not burning nw and salvation itself belongs to God,if Moses died and still went to heaven after being condemned by God for anger means there's hope for them too.

U didn't answer my question...and its so unfortunate that a christian like you can spew such trash about Ogun killing some one....lol

So its Ogun juju that protects you?
Be matured and answer....if you don't know quietly ignore!
You see destruction taking place and all you could do was say prayer as if you even believe in it like I discovered....even when I corrected you,you acted like most Nigerians..."passing the blame to others"

A simple and logic question could only produce a worthless and unnecessary threat from you....smh

Well am not surprised responses like these make me feel there are more kids masquerading as adults here....

Now I await your Ogun to do its worse... cheesy
