...rip to the dead......painful thing is that only the bus drivers knows how to open that there door.

So why are passengers still patronizing them?

May their souls Rest In Peace.

These things really make me very angry. This could have being totally avoided. The number of bad, deformed vehicles on Nigerian roads is just too much and is a huge threat to lives of road users. This is where you expect FRSC to be at the top of their game. Just today a container broke down along the road and caused a journey of 30 minutes to be a hold up of 5 hours. When these vehicles come to renew their license, do a thorough check on them and even on the road. The ones in bad condition should not be allowed to be on the road. This is really really painful because i remember just some weeks ago I was on that same road.

May their souls R.I.P once more

1) First picture shows a California Highway Patrol Police Officer performing a field inspection. As in pull over a truck on the side of the road (they have safe stretches earmarked for that). He’ll check important stuff and if it fails the trucks not going anywhere.

2) Second picture shows a truck scale where trucks get weighed. If you’re overweight then you’re not leaving the scales. Period.

We have such a long way to go that as a recent returnee that came back home after 33 years I know we’ll never get there at this rate.

I drove from Ijebu Ode to Ibadan yesterday. I followed a rickety commercial bus that had no rear lights, grossly overloaded to a police checkpoint. The driver handed the police guy N500, police guy gave him change and off they went. In broad daylight. When I got to him he asked me for my tint permit. Yes, it’s his right to ask me for tint permit, which I have, but it’s ridiculous in the sense that he just passed a clearly unroadworthy vehicle to drive on.

To the chap that wants to stay indoors for safety, I hope a fully loaded granite truck doesn’t come knocking like this one I took a picture of between Ijebu Ode and Ikorodu two days ago.

Ademoore07:
Very bad news. One of my juniors was involved.

he died?

Wizzz1:
1. Avoid following heavy duty vehicles at close range.

2. Avoid driving beside them when driving on a road with pot holes. Something might fall on you.

3. Thirdly avoid being between two heavy duty vehicles on a highway or traffic jam, if their bake fails you will be sandwiched.

4. Keep your hands on the horn till you complete the overtake.

Be safe.

you're so endowed with wisdom and experience bro.
Very Very true.

This is why I always thank drivers when I alight from vehicles... How can you follow a truck bumper to bumper on a hilly road?

on many occasions , i have warned bikemen and drivers concerning this very thing.... Following a vehicle bumper to bumper doesnt add advantage to your journey rather endanger you especially a hilly road... Imagine following a truck or trailer like that

That’s called jackknifing and the driver didn’t do it intentionally.

Jackknifing yes,... Unintentional? Nope.

Drivers intentionally make a jackknife in such situation to halt movement..

Thanks for your input sir.

You went from not knowing what a jackknife was to an expert

I went to an international truck driving school and I’m still carry a commercial truck license in two states in the USA.

No one jackknifes on purpose or is trained to do so. It’s simply a result of direction difference between two joined vehicles.

You don’t have to thank me, I’m immune.

You need checkup

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Don't be scared of death. Even next three weeks am going to Abuja from Benin city to rectify my passport issue because have been banned from entering Dubai. And i will be using God is good Moto. So anything can happen to me on my way to Abuja. Am not scared niggarrr. Infact am going to book front seat because i heard front seat is dangerous. I repeat am not scared.
Let me tell you a secret niggarrr

For every day we wake we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die
Death is only the beginning
We were born to die.

Like i will always say: The only prayer we should be praying as real niggarrrz is for us to smoke enough weed, drink enough beer, bang enough pussy and make some dope money before we die
Right now am in play house in Benin city drinking enough beer

Mightyhaiz:
I didt know what a jackknife was and yet I perfectly described it for the benefit of laymen.. Stuff your stupid ego trip up your stupid ass.

And get lost from the mentions sir

Temper temper

You ran up to search online and latched on to the first explanation you saw which was Wikipedia. Which is wrong and incomplete.

I won’t go down the rabbit hole of exchanging lame juvenile insults with you because I’m a bigger and better person than you’ll ever be and also realize that you don’t hold the monopoly on childish tantrums.

Nope! Nigeria’s driving and vehicle monitoring system needs a total overhaul; both infrastructure and personnel wise.

Road safety corps or whatever they are called should be disbanded as they are totally useless.

If there was a proper system of learning how to driving, with proper examination and certification conducted. You would not need road safety. I have never seen road safety in the abroad. The police has got that job covered.

Proper vehicle verification and road worthiness checking system should be put in place to ensure all vehicles (irrespective of the size or brand) is absolutely road worthy.

Severe punishments should be meted out to those who go against the system, breaking the law and causing accidents, no matter how small it is (even is na just small scratch).

For example temporarily confiscating the driver’s license of those involved in accidents and permanently withholding and banning for life (from driving) those involved in accidents which result in death or loss of lives.

This is how oyibo people do it hence accidents are very minimal and almost a rare occurrence.

But in Nigeria people just enter road without any form of training, no drivers’s license and oftentimes with anyhow cars.

And then we can’t wait to thank God and share photos on social media when accidents occur.

We Nigerians have got a very very long way to go to even get close to being serious about progress and development.

what you have said does not make what I have said wrong.

Wow. Were you injured or what? How many casualties?

I suffered whiplash and a neck sprain. Driver, front passenger and 2 rear passengers didn't make it.

Fortunately I was seating in the middle

The thing that gets to me is that they all know the right things to do. They all travel overseas. I’ve met sitting politicians, army and police on vacation, civil servant on vacation in the USA.

I’ve driven Oyo to Ogbomosho stretch twice in the past few months. What I do is not to follow closely. Not just that it’s unsafe to follow closely but you can’t see the gigantic potholes in order to avoid them. I just hang back let others go until I have a clear sight.

The minister of transportation should hand his head in shame that such death trap roads exist in Nigeria in 2020. And we have the money and unemployed labor to fix them.

Sad news, I lost a friend to this accident.
He was so nice

StarUp:

Rather thank God.

No matter how careful a driver is, he is not prone to accidents.

Some madmen may run into his path.

I remembered driving to Lagos from Ibadan. The road was narrow but had traffic going opposite ways. My lane was moving slowly while the other lane was moving freely. Suddenly, I heard a screech of tyres ahead. One madman who was on our lane had moved into the free moving lane withour checking first. A truck was moving quickly through the free lane and on seeing the car of the madman, he swerved onto my own lane just to avoid that madman. The bus in front of me took a slight bashing before the truck driver swerved back onto his lane and then collided with the car of the madman, dragging it through the road. We just thank God it was not a truck loaded with oil. No one died.

i served in kaiama local government in Kwara State. this road was in a pitiable state and it is disheartening that it is still like that. its a one lane road and death is lurking all around the road because this road will definitely turn you to someone that can percieve death. the road is so tiny, unsmooth and full of curves. i thank God for keeping me thruuout my days plying that road. rip to the dead

You are right, minister of transportation? I guess he doesn't know such route exist, these ministers will continue to fly rather than move by road, that's the reason there are several airports in the north
