Yesterday I made a comment https://www.nairaland.com/4588360/otedola-bridge-lagos-tanker-explosion#68911801about how I and my family are supernaturally excused from disasters and can never die via a mishap, and I got the highest mentions since I joined this forum with people saying a whole lot. This is what I believe and it's working for me

We might/might not be age mates but we are definitely not grace mates. Grace speaks for me


My condolences to the bereaved

I just bought corn now, cut it into two and put half inside my pocket... I don't want that "cut for me.. cut for me things

XingXhang:

I've watched the video....
To be honest, that's a man that knows SAFETY.

He saw the probability of an accident because of he had knowledge. Others didn't. Otherwise, one person could have stopped cars from coming further. Call him an evangelist.

EgunMogaji:
Okay so the first report was wrong. It wasn’t caused by a bus stopped at a wrong location.

1) truck engine stalled

2) truck lost air brakes due to no reserve

3) motor boys were unable to stop truck with shocks

4) truck rolled back and jackknifed

Cause of all those deaths?

Improperly maintained brake system on truck.

Quote me anywhere.

When I see trucks in Nigeria, I run. Ask my driver, Brother Naim.

tempest01:
Human beings...who is the person that said a passenger bus moved in without checking and then caused the accident?

MRdobo:
Why can't there be a Tanker curfew, meaning they can only transport fuel between 10pm to 6am?


Another solution is Lagos state subjecting tanker vehicles to 6 months MOT..... Brakes, clutches, engines, tyres and tanker load itself are subjected to 6 months checks, if the vehicle is more than 2 years old.....

Thirdly, road safety should routinely stop tanker drivers and subject them to alcohol and license checks.... Alcohol checks to see check if they not intoxicated and license checks to ensure the driver is authorised to drive the vehicle....


We don't need prayers, we need action.... Praying for a problem that has solution is praying amiss and insulting God.

Daeylar:
This makes it different,
They just made it seem as though the tanker had an accident and people knew, and it was so obvious that people were leaving their cars and rubbing away.


But it seems as though the tanker was parked to the side before it exploded, how were people who were coming from behind supposed to know that there was something wrong with the tanker?
The guy who was blaming the dead saying they had a chance to escape was out of line.

I see no chance here escape, If not that this guy was lucky enough to drive past the trailer before it exploded , he would have died too,


That was very crass of the person who blamed the dead.

frowland:
I dont know why people dont use dash cam
I have them in all my cars. Many advantages, especilally when there is an accident, kidnapping, or false allegation by officials.

Yesterday, I commended the efforts of Lagos State Agencies for their response to the sad incident & the situation report released yesterday by LASEMA's General Manager. This shows not everything is bad about Nigeria. Lagos is working. Lagos has so many agencies in different areas from finance, Judiciary, commerce down to transport & emergency management where the agencies at work yesterday night till this morning carried out their duties.

That is why the casualties are not much and the road cleared less than 24hrs. Continuity from Tinubu, Fashola to Ambode has made management of large government ministries & agencies a working one.

I'm not very religious, but I understand why the Quran says there's a special place in hell for liars. These useless bloggers belong there. After the bridge suicide tales, I'm not even sure I believe this

themodernman:


Are you kidding me?

Nigerians are prolly the smartest people on earth, don't you think we know all these things already?

But I can bet the same rules we create, we'll find a way of outsmarting and breaking it at the same time.

Nigeria is a functionally Lawless country jarey...leave tory...

kpokpo1:
And the report was that the tanker failed break. Tanker that jejely parked b4 him explode my ppl una see am?

Sanchase:

Where can i get one at affordable price ?

bendike:

Its still brake failure. Air must have finished in the air brake air tank hence the inability of the driver to stop the truck from rolling backwards. Notice the motor boy trying to put a wedge on the wheels to stop it rolling back.

Bodylover:
I have watched it, imagine life wasted on that bridge.


I think Otedola father’s spirit is not happy that his son his wasting his money on his useless daughters.
Bros u too yarn

naijaboylive:
This guy probably my have ignited the fuel which was already spilling on the ground. He was driving too close to the tanker and receiving a call. He could have ended that call when he noticed a tanker carrying fuel was leaking.
