Hmmm....and that's what the manager has to say? I expect him to immediately launch a crackdown on all unsafe trucks.... grounding them wherever they be. As citizens...we have to take action as well to force the authorities to do something. Action like?.... forcing an unsafe truck to stop with the help of other motorists....letting out the air from all the tyres.... why should the driver risk his life to intervene at that point?...a collective beat down would serve as a deterrent. How can such action help? The driver would be stranded... cargo may be stolen... owner would be losing money with a down truck... losing money to get the tyres inflated again.... and maybe having to take emergency y measures to secure the container. Why would the driver run such risk agai?...why would the owner? We have the power to bring about a whole lot of changes.

Why still allowing many container trucks both into and out of Lagos without latching?
Many petrol laden trucks with less capacity compare to their content are still struggling to climb otedola bridge contrary to words of mouth by ambode's government after the last tragic accident on same bridge.
We will get nothing right under ambode, they are too defensive.

"A fatal accident occurred earlier today as a 20 foot container fell on two cars in Lagos. The accident occurred on Saturday evening.

According to available information, the accident occurred between Maryland and Ikeja."

The above report is contradictory!
1. Between Maryland and Ikeja? But Maryland is part of and inside Ikeja.

2. You said it occurred today? Today is Sunday! In another breathe, you stated the accident occurred on Saturday evening?!

Maryland is not inside Ikeja. If you enter Danfo pay them what would take you to Maryland then don't get down and see the movie that would follow.

Are these things you are pointing out more important to you? For your information, the original post was made yesterday. That you just stumbled upon it today is no one's fault.

Saw one untastrapped container along Lagos-Badagry express way in a very dangerous spot with a bus fully loaded with passenger by the side of it.

Jeez...

May we and our loved ones be held up else where the day the roads gets thirsty for blood.


They have come again with prayers

This can happen to anybody irrespective of prayers

The root cause of accident should be the subject here and how to mitigate against future occurrence, but Prayers is all we can offer in this part of the world

Who told you the roads gets thirsty of Blood. DAMN!

Nigeria's educational system needs to be revised
