Chief Awoniyi was involved in a car accident along Abuja-Kaduna expressway two-weeks ago

if true sad but he was an old man.

anyway, this what happens when there is no proper medics(paramedics, airambulance, well equiped hospital, motivated workforce) available. what could be treated early alway result in death

If only chief had been serious about repairing our roads.

If only chief had been serious about repairing our roads.

If he had equally used his many influential positions to put good health care delivery in place, maybe the story would have been different

Very sad, I heard he was a smart man.

May his soul RIP

You would think that at the rate at which influential persons are dying on our highways due to often avoidable accidents and lack of prompt medical care when accidents happen, they would have put in a strong, concerted effort to fix our roads and hospitals. No way !

These terrible rogues, who have been blinded by satan to steal and to kill only, will never do anything good. They think it can't happen to them.
I do not wish anyone evil, but a few more influential people are still going to die because they refuse to provide the basic amenities of good road network and medical facilities.

Even if you have got the money to travel overseas for medical care, in an accident, 5 minutes could make the difference between life and death.

Ehn? Was he the Minister of Works or was he ever given any contract to repair our roads?

Amazing, he was sick, flown abroad for treatment and he died overseas.

Should that be a learning experience for our leaders that when your time is up no medical practitioner or doctor can save your life.

Another money wasted. The amount the Federal government spent on this trip could be put to use.

MR YAR ADUA I am calling you to please start taking action, stop all overseas medical treatment for government officials.

lets start investing in our hospital. KAI i tire for this nation

If flying them overseas will save their lives, let it be done. Human life is more important than sentimentality.

Human life is more important than sentimentality WHEN IT IS A POLITCIAN WHO STOLE PEOPLE'S MONEY. Every human life should be important and not those rogues alone.

This is getting more and more confusing. Who said he was a government official? And where was it stated that the federal government paid for his trip abroad? Can you cite the source of your story?

_{so where in those report did it say the govt paid for his trip and treatment? abi when did chairman of a forum become minister of transport}

R.I.P

I simply find it difficult to feel any remorse when any of these 'big men' pass away.

They have left their murderous handiwork behind. . .so I guess we should look upon them with envy
that they have escaped this violent cesspit called Nigeria.

For those criticizing the fact that Awoniyi was flown away for medical attention and are asking why he didn't do better to improve the facilities in Nigeria. Have you read the report of where he was going when the accident occurred? Have you taken the time to read the man's background and he's service to Nija? Do you not think this man was around when the naira was at par to the pound sterling currency and watched over the years how he's country deteriorated to what it has become. Did the report say he was heading to the airport to travel and enjoy his life in a Villa in Mexico?

Awoniyi traveled those dangerous roads with the rest of us day in day out, speaking out against corrupt politicians and consistent decay of our nation. It is in one of those trips that he lost life. The man never traveled in convoys or had paid security around him like many political leaders. Also remember that technically the man has not in political office since he was a senator in 1992. Technically the man was a civilian. A very outspoken and respected civilian, but a civilian none the less. He wasn’t minister for transportation or Minister for health or any of those things. Before you judge a man or lump him in as one of the 'corrupt politicians in Nija' (and god knows there are many); please educate your self first with some real facts.

The biggest injustice we can do now is get caught up on how the man died. That's a bloody waste of time. We should try to see what he was trying to say when he was alive. He and a few others courageous politicians single handedly stood in the way of Obasanjo from illegally trying to remain in office for a 3rd term in a 2 term Democratic Party. He was attacked and left for dead just over a year ago and yet he continued his mission.

We should stop blaming other people for our decaying country. Every single Nigerian should look at there own lives in the presence of God and see how they themselves are contributing to it. Only then can we hope to make small changes that will count for something huge over the years. Each time you litter, or destroy public property or steel from your neighbor or neglect the work you've been entrusted in, you are adding to the decay of this land. That's what Awoniyi was trying to tell people. Instead, people focused on whether he was northerner or southerner, Muslim or Christian, medicated and died in Nija or oversees. At the end of the day, are we not all traveling on those god forsaken roads?

he was a man apart, if he was younger i will use all my feminine charisma to lure him for good, he's dead now! he was a good man, moderate, caring, and very intelligent.

Not even the best medical intervention can forestall one's destiny with death.

Abeg, help me ask Mamajama who posted the first remark about how govt. wasted money sponsoring the man's medical treatment abroad. Both stories say the man was flown abroad for treatment. It never said the man's trip was sponsored by govt. Abi, na only me dey see am?
