it's better one rent a house close to his office even if the cost is high than rent or build a house that's far from his office and cheaper without considering the suicidal stress and cost of transportation
I agree, some live in their own homes though thus they don't pay rent.

Useless country...after the last incident, nothing of such should happen again; but this is Nigeria. The only thing they can seriously curb is an epidemic such as ebola cos they know it would have wiped everyone out.

what about the stress...I'd rather not build my house than encountering such stress....their life expectancy is getting lower with such stress

traffic stress in Lagos is the highest form of stress in nigeria

Diesel is not volatile like petrol, so no cause for alarm.

I can't see the police or FRSC in the pictures.

They were there.. Most of them had to rush to put off the fire of those women selling roasted corn close to that area...

People who know their hydrocarbons will know that diesel is not easily ignitable and is safe to scoop.

It shows you don't know Otedola bridge, once any vehicle falls there, people try as much as possible to avoid that link. On a good day, the bridge is very dangerous in itself due to the sudden steep slope and numerous heavy duty vehicles that have to ply through it with most of them having brake failure and using buses and other vehicles as emergency "brakes" to stop their trailers. I tell you, with this news some people will not near there for the next two days

The bridge sounds familiar. Was it not the same place the last incident happened!?

I hope something is done ASAP.

Stay clear!!!

Yes. It's the same location.

The issue with the location is the the steep slope that made it difficult for trucks to climb and traffic jam speed. Once there's traffic and trucks can't accelerate to climb, there's the tendency for the truck to reverse under the weight if! load. Often, you see Thier "Moto boy" hastily alight trying to wedge the tyre from rolling back under such circumstances, once the wedge is unable to stop reverse under the influence of weight, the probability of a fall will almost be 100%.
Lessons: cars should never move close to loaded truck when climbing a hill,
Never allow the danfo drivers to block that Berger bus stop. That is the major cause of traffic and live has been lost with million of Naira.
The construction of Kara Bridge most likely to have induced the traffic that lead to the fall of yesterday.
