How does one prepare for "unforeseen circumstances" if the circumstances can't be foreseen?

Even advanced countries with all their forecasting technology can't foresee earthquakes and storms early enough to prevent disaster. You think the US is happy that wildfires destroy lives and property?

You people think government is made up of magicians and wizards......

Isn't it foolish ranking natural disasters (earthquakes, storm) as same with completely avoidable man-made Tanker accidents?
Nigerians are so quick shirk responsibility and resort to excuses for things that are very much within their control rather than own up.

Frankly speaking (not just thinking), Nigerian governments are made up a bunch of corrupt, failures, never-do-wells, the worst crop of people the nation can ever have as leaders.

First they closed border, confiscate cars and other good in our various shops and car stands, close our only airport, militarize our states and now systematically burning down our people and our means of livelihood. This is invasion

The enugu /Onitsha express road is very good and smooth,besides the accident happened around 2:15am,right in front of bessoy filling station. Thankfully,only some parts of the filling station got affected,while the PMS product flown through underground drainage into the other side of the road and burnt houses and cars,but no lives were lost.

we will disregard recklessness, carelessness and faulty roads and rather assign the blame to unimportant things
Re: Tanker Falls, Explodes At Omagba Phase 2 Onitsha by muteki: 9:57am On Oct 18, 2019
Poor state of roads in Anambra state is the root cause, no adequate safety laws in place to minimize such happenings. Imagine no fire trucks in the whole of Onitsha and our people are comfortable doing business there. No one is considering safety no plan is in place for such circumstances, I went to Upper Works and I was not comfortable at all because of potential hazards everywhere. It's not an attack, the state government has failed his people period. Sometimes I wonder if our Eastern government receive funds from FG and if they do what do dey use it for? Look at Aba to PHC no road and if something happens IPOB will tag it terrorist attack. Our people should just go back to the board and find out what we are missing. Biafra is not the solution, a changed mindset is the solution.

May God give them the heart to bear the loss. There's life, there's hope. But the mindset of average Nigerian has to change if we are to achieve anything as a people.

I don't think you are igbo though, it looks like attack.. You don't expect some one to come out and agree it's attack

Because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm not Igbo. That is my state of Origin, mind you. I'm from Adazi Nnukwu clan of Aniocha Local Government area in Anambra State.
You better learn to reason objectively not sentimentaly

Its not a terror attack, the roads ain't good, Tanks fall everyday in Nigeria, it was unfortunate the the first tank claimed lives so it got to the public, two weeks ago, a tanker got burnt here in port Harcourt and no one heard because fire fighters fought the fire and no live or property was lost, If only Anambra has such, you probably won't hear the first news. Its a pity such an industrious state has not even a single fire extinguisher

Must we leverage on other people's misfortunes just to actualize our dreams? Nobody understands the word "compassion" anymore in Nigeria.

Is onitcha under attack or what? This shit is getting out of hand. Nowadays riding in buses or boarding okadas scare me cos these big trailers and tankers will just be swaying on the bad roads as if they want to crush you. We need more safety laws.

So in your flawed worldview a car accident is man-made? So why do we call them "accidents"?

Accident is the very definition of unforeseen.

And there are those who argue that weather anomalies are the results of man's activities. Isn't that what the whole hullabaloo about climate change is about?

Natural disasters such as earthquakes are accidents of nature, involving rogue tectonic plates.

Tankers driving on roads is a very normal thing, an expected thing, even.

But tankers getting into an accident is most certainly NOT man-made, as I can bet you neither the tanker driver, the owner, or the victims planned deliberately for it to happen.

Thus.....an accident. Unforeseen.

In the same advanced societies I mentioned,accidents do happen.

I am just thinking in the line of thought of terrorism or that kain thing.
Good roads in all the tanker scenes
Not even a pothole

No collision with any vehicle
No brake failure
Three petrol tanker incidents
The first one driver ran to army barracks
Someone come let's think in different directions...that's how we do in FBI
