As I see it ... he is not asking for a new truck..... he is saying at this time he will prefer a new truck or job than national honor because he has a family to provide for... and since then he is just at home... unable to do so. Keeping it real... a national honor cannot put food on his table now.... and he needs food on the table. The Politicians been giving out monies and ehmmm.... empowering the lives of many wayyyyy less deserving than him..... why not him?
Lastly... what he did was heroic ... no doubt. Why isn't there an investigation in the cause of the fire in the first place? This is the root of the incident.... what caused it?....were safety requirements met?.. if they were what should be added to prevent such from happening again?... if they were not met... who is responsible?...what charges need to follow? Instead... we are jumping to give national honour. Putting sentiments aside... in law enforcement countries he may have been facing a long list of charges ranging from violating safety regulations regarding the operation of a tanker... to endangering the lives of civilians. We need to get serious.

You clearly do not understand and a dunce for that. He saved lives by moving the tanker to an unpopulated area. He didn't need to do any of that. He could just have the tanker and ran for his life and allow people to die.


On top his burning tanker cos he did not observe safety protocol. In a sane environment he will be rotting in jail if anyone had died or any property destroyed.

Which door?, Kitchen door or bathroom door, go and ask taiwo akinkumi who designed nation flag and the likes who were given national honour how e be them now

He did not beg or lobby for the honour, they chose to confer it on him and he is say if they want it should be a new truck.

It tells you that the man wants to get back to business and face his life. Simple

I want new tanker, not national honour, says man who saved Delta community from fire disaster


Ejiro Otarigho, a driver who drove a burning fuel tanker away from a community in Delta state, says he needs a new vehicle.

Otarigho, had last week, drove his tanker which caught fire at a residential area to a river bank.

His action and bravery earned him commendations from Nigerians, including the senate which has resolved to honour him.

the man owned the tanker that caught fire
assuming it is actually his tanker, and he was not driving it for someone else, he is liable and culpable
i do not know why nigerians do not understand this
a tanker does not just catch fire .

the man knows all the different safety barriers he breached or neglected that led to this.

but this is nigeria, where no one investigates anything but just thanks God without thinking

He should have had insurance then. An obligation is the responsibility of a party to meet the terms of a contract or agreement. If an obligation is not met, the legal system often provides recourse for the injured party. It is not our obligation/duty to buy him a tanker.
shut up joor ozizo.

If the tanker had jamm u or any member of your family, u no go Dey talk like an slowpoke

Dear Nairalanders, I am very sorry for doing this, but I have to do this because you are the only people I can run to at this time. Please help me with any amount of money to feed myself today. I have been broke for sometime now not that am lazy, I just don't understand why things are so bad for me. Please help me. I intend going out today even with this empty stomach to look for any brown collar job I could do but don't have transport fare to go out and am very hungry.

Please help me, as you help me, may you and your loved ones get favor and blessings everywhere you go. Amen.

I hate this write-up.
The man doesn't have any sense of entitlement.
That man is selfless. If it were I, I would jump out of the tanker to save my life and this is still alright because self preservation is a human trait but this man went extra mile to put others like your useless self into consideration.

See what it's fetching him.

To me, he's request is very much okay. It's not beyond what they can do. That man is patriotic and could even help revive whatever little belief people still have in this country.
