Don't blame them.

How many pple will know what to do when they face untimely situations?

Not many can think straight at that instant.

God is our refuge.

May the souls of death rest in peace. Amen

This is one reason why I am in full support of those danfos leaving Lagos roads. I don't know who gave those guys a license in the first place.

They will enter road and look later. Same with maruwas.

If you stay in the mainland, you go know wetin I dey talk.

Ambode bus terminals is the solution.

Looking for passengers on the main road by bus drivers has been a major challenge in the ever busy Lagos. [color=#990000][/color]

What a black Thursday. So sad

So we blame the dead? RIP has become a recurring decimal in our consciousness that we don't know what it really means.

We blame the living before they became 'dead'...

We learn from their mistakes.

Companies spend millions training people on how to manage situations as this.

It is well. Still, except the Lord keep the city, they watch in vain.

Danfos eh!!! Danfos!!!!. Now the danfo driver who caused this accident fled and is probably back on the road today. FRSC would issue driving license without any prior test, LASTMA would clear a drunk driver after being bribed. agents of death prowling our society. all because of corruption. we are in trouble.

RIP to them.

Though we might want to shy away from the logical part of this incident, we still need to ask questions.

Nigerians are not well educated on how to handle emergency situations. We are no proactive on the right issue. It doesn't take us up to 10minutes to burn a robbery suspect, but time to save our own lives, we turn reporter.

Some drivers don't even know how to handle brake failure, they don't know how to use their extinguishers...how do you expect them to know the right thing to do on sighting a fallen petrol tanker?

Then the issue of insurance. We don't embrace insurance here, that's why you see people risking their life for cars.

I won't be surprised to hear the driver of that tanker is alive. Those guys have very active adrenaline.

When you say foolishness make them die, was it foolishness that brought them to that road? Hadn't been they knew they wouldn't have passed that road. In this situation, stop acting like smart one.


What I can only say is that we should get prepared always.

Your point isn't wrong BUT there's a logical way to escaping accidents. They call it SAFETY

About time, danfos and other rickety mass passenger vehicles are banned from our roads. The tankers, trailers and container trucks need to be regulated. Many of these trucks are rickety and old models still being patched up. Western countries still use trucks and trailers for haulage but they are luxurious as a May Bach, I wonder why same can't be the case here in Nigeria. angry


The bottom line is that we don't value lives

Some did not think straight because their minds were bent on "would I leave my car here? No way I could save this car! " My condolences to them all. But we've got to learn something and learn it well, SAFETY.

He is only saying it to sensitize people on how to behave in situations like this. If we'll leave everything to fate, then we'll just sit down for manna to fall from heavens but no, we have to stand up and let our efforts count. Isn't it foolishness to see an unclad danger and still standby recording? Is it not foolishness to insist on saving ur car at the expense of your life? That is what the guy is saying, we must learn to be smart in such situations.

Ambode's program of creating bus termini, with strict enforcement, may help prevent what set off a series of events with devastating results.


Mmmmm.

Do you believe the danfo drivers will enter those bus terminals? Remember THIS IS NIGERIA

Those danfo drivers lives are less valuable and are expendable.

They try that nonsense Every time and I'm sometimes tempted to hit the bus just to cause an accident.......but then I see their innocent passengers .

I beg to disagree with you,
It is called learning from experience, do you know how many people would have been saved assuming they have this knowledge of abandoning the cars, quit taking pictures and save your lives first.
Let's not attribute everything to fate, rather let give more attention to safety first. A lot could have survived if their response time was fast.

God save their souls and grant them eternal rest... Amen

TheAngry1:
You are 'lucky' to be alive, and yet you have time to denigrate the dead; that is insensitive, no matter how you choose to twist it. When people die, whether or not it is a fault of theirs, you empathize. Let the situation simmer for a couple of weeks, and then revisit the incident, providing advice on how to prevent such in the future. Nobody smart o! There is a thin line between life and death; it is the Lord who shows mercy!

It was glaringly obvious that they were trying to save not their lives but their cars when they had chances. If you take a closer look at the accident scene, you'll observe it.

Fact is, they are dead! Why rub it in? Their families are reading and listening to commentaries, how do you think it makes them feel? We lack empathy in this part of the world walahi!

I've lost my primary school teacher to a tanker fire. the explosion is more than what you see even in action movies. in such situations, just run and don't look back.
5th may 2010 something like this happened on Lagos - Ibadan express way. Academy to be precise. A little boy among others lost his life. I can't ever forget that day

Stop this your analysis jare, there was a guy who quickly saw the oncoming danger, jumped out of his car and while running to the other side of the bridge told the golf driver behind him to do same. The golf driver looked at him like he was a fool. He said he had barely made the crossing when the fire started.

Nobody is destined to die such a brutal death.
