Dr Know: Get rich quick or die trying.

Unfortunately,these ones died trying.

I am really torn between

a) feeling sorry for them that their thieving rulers have degraded them to the point they act desperately to survive

or

b) saying good riddance, we need to reduce the population anyway so why not some fools sacrifice themselves, because when will Nigerian fooools ever learn.

afam4eva:
Ok, i'll come up with another reason why GEJ should be blamed. Hold on...

afam4eva:
Who else is to blame if not GEJ. If he had not removed fuel subsidy would they have bothered scooping fuel?

afam4eva: Ehen, i'm back.

I heard it happened at the east-west road. If that road had being repaired by the federal government, there wouldn't have been traffic on that road and people wouldn't have even thought of scooping fuel on a busy road. So, you see why GEJ should be blamed .

Abeg, I no want make my colleagues notice say I dey browse NL during work. No make me laugh out loud, biko

Kennyblues: God, where is thy face

My brother please leave God out of this. This is just a display of stupidity.

People will never learn,any sane mind should know that inferno will follow in such situation involving tanker(s).
People say RIP but the souls of those guys will never rest after being burnt by such hot fire, its a pitty people still risk their lives for penny abi na kobo I go call am.

Nigerians with awoof, and u will find out that most of them don't have immediate use for it...anyway rip to dem...it happened in Rivers State

crispy's any one

They were trying to reap at were they didnt sowed but nature had it dat they wil live in a house(Grave) they didnt build

ifihearam: Also heard it from gbenga aruleba,but when will Nigerians learn?? Jesse fire outbreak was a very tragic one and now another,I wonder how much they will get compared to their lives.

Is this foolishness or poverty

can't you? POVERTY.

HAHAHA

Ignorance is the biggest killer of the black man.

Petrol is non-combustible until you introduce a spark.

Yet these fools will go to a river of petrol with cigarettes and motorcycles.

Like weezy said: Be good, or be good at it.

Naija shd learn to protect their lives and prevent avoidable death

T-smooth:
Nigeria "jaga-jaga". I blame our Government for neglecting their youth. Jonorthern should empower youths instead sitting in Aso rock being controlled by some Northerner. mtcheeew!

U ar an i.diot, a complete b.astard, a jobles mugu. Dnt go and create job 4urslf. Sit ther and kip accusin d govt 4ur joblesnes and wrechednes. Poverty wil kill u. Imbec!le.

nxanadu: u can imagine what poorverty wld cos and its GEJ fault!

Its ur Father's fault and nt Gej. Basta.rd.

akagaba: Its ur Father's fault and nt Gej. Basta.rd.

Is that necessary?

str8_talk: Since d Supreme Court denied them(the pple of Cross-River of their right to possess their Oil wells seeded to Akwa-Ibom of which the Gov. has put good use of the allocations accrued 4rm these wells) seeing this spilled 'ready made' oil was to dem dia own national cake,unfortunately,little did they knw it was their gateway to no return.
RIP!

Sharap, it hapend in Rivers and not CRS. Ebot.

Freiburger:
Is that necessary?

At times its necessary!!

Dranatomy: They were trying to reap at were they didnt sowed but nature had it dat they wil live in a house(Grave) they didnt build

Funny bt not funny. I refuse 2 laugh jor.

This has nothing to do with poverty. I bet those people scooping fuel have enough money to feed themselves for atleast a week, and still fuel their generators. It is the greed in nigerians that have pushed to their early graves. Why those anyone think we only produce greedy and corrupt politicians. Our politicians are a reflection of the nigerian people and psyhce. Nigerians would never learn, and if this same thing here to happen in lest say warri, it would be thesame reaction and deaths. Wazobia fm in port-harcourt reported that as many as 4 individuals in one family got burnt to death, while scooping fuel. They then expect people to came here and say RIP or blame GEJ or may their souls....bla, bla bla and the like. If you ask me, from the bottom of my heart they deserved to die (those scooping fuel and not the innocent passerby's)

God face is at them but their foolishness, cheap, free and stupidity could not stop them on dat

I tot only northernerz are poor and oil parasites?

freegaza: I tot only northernerz are poor and oil parasites?

You cant be considered a parasite if the oil is gotten from your land now can you?!

And NO!! They are not poor.. These guys were most likely Abokis..

where exactly did it happen in cross river?(which part of cross river).

@Post

Nigerians will never learn. This is not the first, second, third or fourth time a tragedy of this nature has happened in Nigeria. Yet, Nigerians refuse to learn. The people were even told by the driver to vacate the area yet they will not listen. The average Nigerian is greedy, materialistic and inherently stubborn and these character traits are responsible for sending many of our people to their untimely deaths. It's rather unfortunate.

By the way OP, Ahoada is in Rivers state not cross rivers.

odocity: where exactly did it happen in cross river?(which part of cross river).

OP made a mistake. Ahoada is in RIVERS STATE. My late grandma is from there.

ballabriggs: Extreme poverty has driven my people insane. The quest to survive by any means.

LOAD OF RUBBISH.

ANYONE WHO DIED THERE, IT WAS THEIR FAULT, OR THE FAULT OF WHOMEVER SENT THEM. PURE AND SIMPLE.

POVERTY MY ASSSSS

THE NORMAL NIGERIAN WILD AND THOUGHTLESS GREED MORE LIKE

Nigerians have major problems. MONEY IS THEIR GOD. THAT'S ALL THEY GO TO THESE CHURCHES TO PRAY FOR - NOTHING ELSE. JUST MONEY. Even a man that can comfortably feed himself and family. Nope. Not enough. He wants MORE MONEY. After he buys a Toyota, he will want Lexus Jeep. It never stops. THAT'S THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM - GREED FOR MONEY. THEY VALUE LIFE ITSELF ACCORDING TO THEIR ACCESS TO MONEY AND WEALTH. WHEN THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN SEES YOU, HE TREATS YOU ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH MONEY HE THINKS YOU HAVE. YOUR CHARACTER, MORAL WORTH, KNOWLEDGE ETC MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HIM. THE ONLY BAROMETER FOR HIM OF YOUR WORTH IS YOUR LEVEL OF WEALTH AND ACCESS TO MONEY.

MONEY IS THEIR GOD.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

Absolutely. It is a fundamental societal problem. Love of extreeme materialism is now part of our culture and accepted as a normal thing.

The question is, what can be done to make the average joe understand that self worth and networth are not the same ?
