Can someone with knowledge of this Otedola bridge explain why is this high tendency for vehicles to catch fire on Otedola bridge, is there something that cause hold up there which eventually results to overheating of vehicle engines and then explosion or what?

It is too sloppy as you drive down Mobil on the run towards Magodo phase 2. Any long vehicle without good breaking system will cause accident.

Why is it always Otedola bridge?

For once, i haven't trust the bearer of that name. His source of wealth should be thoroughly investigated. It won't be surprising to me, if at the end they find out he's into rituals.
Uninformed man with gibberish. You think it was named after FEMI OTEDOLA?

You're Wrong, it was after his father

It's not impossible. All it takes is to pull down the bridge and raise the level. Extending the bridge level to the front of Mobil filling station and first Oando filling station will solve it.
True. To do that would shut down the most important highway in West Africa. Again, almost impossible.

You need to read more history.
The bridge is not named after the Otedola you are referring to.
I also think his source of wealth and your trust of it is a big deal.

And a bit more reading on physics or engineering will tell you the bridge construction is flawed, hence the multiple incident of accidents there. The angle of descent and ascent is more than what those 10 to 30 year old trucks with bad maintenance can handle.

The engine of most trucks climbing the bridge can’t carry the full load thus the tendency to roll back and cause accidents.

It’s boil down to regulatory agencies at the ports and depots not doing their jobs

They should remove the 3 white statutes close to the bridge and call Baba Adeboye to pray.

But actually, there is a construction error with the bridge. The bridge is too steep. With the construction works going on around the bridge, let's pray against loss of lives on the bridge. Imagine this happening during peak period - (5pm to 9pm mostly weekdays) when the bridge is full of very slow moving traffic due to Julius Berger construction on Lagos Ibadan Expressway. God forbid it.

Oya, let's see what Tinubu will do to this.

Or maybe the governor of Sokoto will send money to the victims in Lagos state.

Who told you the people you mentioned don't have babalawo?

You are probably in one air conditioned office collecting peanuts as salary. Set up a business and you will understand how far.
Weren't you alive when Amazon was created and it started from just being an online bookstore and gradually grew to become the giant it became today? If you started yours then too and managed it properly with the right team, you'd probably be competing with Jeff Bezos today or would have sold your company to a high bidder. Instead, you were busy carrying certificates around.

There's no babalawo anywhere jare, how come none of the babalawos in Nigeria where yall believe that bullshit is rich enough to make it on the Forbes list of billionaires? Mention one rich babalawo anywhere in the world. Yet yall believe they're the ones that made successful people rich, yet they can't make themselves rich

Don't join bad gang jare, don't hate when people prosper, rather aim to learn about what they're doing differently. Western nations don't believe in all that voodoo mentality Africans are cursed with.

I still feel some of these accidents are avoidable.

Bad road! Bad road!! Bad road!!!

At least, Lagos-Ibadan Express cannot be described as a bad road again.

Some broken down cars are left carelessly on the road without any caution sign to other road users.

Some vehicles with headlamps as if they want to blind other road users while some don't even have at all.

Some drivers speeding more than the taxying of a landing jet, and therefore can't navigate to saftey on sighting an obstruction.

Pls, these accidents are still very avoidable.

Hopefully, no casualties.

Baba, It's taxiing NOT, taxying. Btw, do you actually understand what taxiing of an airplane means in the context of ur argument?

The worst bridge in the whole of Lagos in terms of slope.Sincere,it must be pulled down and redesign and reconstruct
The bridge does not need to be pulled down. Seriously speaking, the bridge is inadequate for the kind and volume of traffic that passes it every day.
Another bridge could be constructed near it. The construction would only be costly and the Berger bus terminal could be relocated so as to use it's space.
Any amount of money spent on building another bridge would be really worth it!
