It's even interesting that Luxembourg is landlocked, yet the richest in GDP per capita. What kinda brains do Caucasians have?

+
No different than any other race. History, geography, climate, trade, ripple effects of events all count.

ednut1:
Richest man in history is not mansa musa. There is no evidence of that. There are other kings who had access to gold too

+
Is access alone your issue?

Mrfixitt:
Guy rest. Nothing good can come out of Tinubu regime

I despise the man, but let's not be that pessimistic. It's just one project, we can't say it can't work.

I DIDN'T SEE THE KWAME NKRUMA AIRPORT

Nonsense list

Kotoka International in Accra should have made it.

SpaceX:
Airports under tinubu supervision will never make the list, anything tinubu touches turns bad

immortalcrown:
Giant of Africa is not on the list. A failed giant.

oloriooko:
Fair enough Tinubu has given our international airports a good facelift as opposed to what he met but may not be to the standard of the ones mentioned in the post, so kudos to him for this

emmabest2000:
Lol you no go see 9ja name on this kind of list

+
I am hopeful the new Lagos airport when renovated will be among the best.

Good to see you've learned to laugh again

You were beginning to give vibes of grumpy old men

Compliments of the season. I hope you'll have more reasons to laugh in the new year

+
Compliments bro. Wishing you a great 2026.

Kukutente23:
It seems you're getting obsessed with me

Not healthy

Examine yourself

You flippantly jumped on a conversation that was none of your business and when you were shown your backside by the lady, you're calling me to come and learn from you how to make a fool of myself and apologise afterwards.

Where's the sense in this?

+
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Ever the comedian.

SixSeven:
That's your piece of cake. Bothers me not. Next time, ignore the ignorance of whoever you deem unfit to exchange with you.

A wise man can learn from a fouuolish question, but a fuuuool cannot learn from a wise answer because it is easier to fuuuol people than to convince them they have been fouuuoled.

+
A limited, narrow mind is not worth discussing with.

SixSeven:
Euthanasia will never be African because it goes against the African soul, which holds life as sacred and belonging to the community, the ancestors, and God not to individual choice.

A practice that intentionally ends life contradicts our spiritual and moral foundation, so it can never truly belong to us. I know about it and it is alien to us. Don't let the West indoctrinate you with foreign ungodly concepts. I hope you know they are assisting children now to take their lives.

Jolene in my picture was in the news and the US guys said they were going to raise money to treat her for FREE, yet she still wanted to take her life. We don't do that here please.

+
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
I will not get into this subject with any closed minded person.

LordReed:
May you never suffer what some of these people suffer because then you will understand that the struggle goes beyond finding a solution to external challenges. Do you think Robin Williams didn't overcome all the external challenges that came his way? Yet he faced a battle you will never understand if you don't suffer from the same or similar ailment. An ailment where you own body is fighting you every step of the way and not even in a way you can properly articulate to someone who is not suffering it.

I repeat, may you never suffer it.

+
Deep. Well said.

SixSeven:
Someone was thinking I was heartless to be hard on this person, that I don't know the battles, I don't know the things this person is going through, I don't know this and that and I said part of being a man is surviving trials of this world. I told the person to give me an alternative to willingly participating in your own death and the person could not. And then I said, finding solution is a much better part to taking your life. No matter what. I stand by my words. Life is tough. It will break you but sometimes I think Nigeria's law or punishment for attempting suicide is more of a logical one than the punishment itself. Nigeria's law is telling you, if you want to do it, just do it and go, make sure you do it.

You don't know the pain you cause those living when you selfishly consider yourself only. You're not living for yourself alone if you don't know. Especially when you have influence. I prefer you take more steps to help live than take the easy step to press the end button when you know we will all leave this world unalive!

Then like those boys who shoot in US, you now write a manifesto letter on your death. For what? Just go silently and don't disturb the world if you wanted us to not worry about you. It would have been easier for the loved ones to lie to us and tell us he died in his sleep. I am so disappointed and I have no nice words to say. This is where we have raised this generation to mental health everything. Spiritually ungrounded, digitally prosperous. Perhaps one day, we will realise our true reason for living. A person is a person because of another person (Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”: a person is a person because of other people). We will remember our purpose on earth, stay grounded and keep serving others because service to humanity is the price you pay for earth. Fall seven times, rise up 8th.

+
Shallow. You dont know anything about life.
Go and study the principles behind Euthanasia.

That said, everyone is perfectly entitled to decide they no longer wish to live.

Mehn. When it's reckoning time it's reckoning time.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
I will not ignore your post because you did not ignore mine. You need common sense and not CCTV cameras to see how overspeeding contributed to that accident. As the roads are bad, reckless driving is a catalyst to fatal accidents.

+
Well said, thank you.

DrAda:
Lol. Ok then

+
For the record, I have been in an accident (I was driving) on a highway in Lagos, where my car somersaulted and ended up on the other side of the road. I came out unscathed but I learnt my lesson. Two friends were with me. No injuries to anyone. We sat down in shock by the kerb for an hour just pondering what happened.

DrAda:
Hmmmm. Tell you what, let's agree to disagree. You go on thinking the driver led to the foreign national's demise while I stick to my convictions that this nation failed Anthony.

+
ENJOY.

But you are as wrong as anyone saying that the sun or the moon caused the accident.

TOPCRUISE:
Well FRSC version are always debatable. If it were a politician they will keep quiet and not talk that. But if it were ordinary citizens even if the cause were clear bad portions on the road they will say driver was over speeding

+
If you saw the wreckage of that car no one will have to tell you reckless speed was involved.

DrAda:
Your assumption is based on the fact that we are all careful drivers which is not the case. In developed nations, extra steps are taken to ensure the safety of everyone (including the reckless drivers). Why on earth will a stationary vehicle, and a truck for that matter, be on the highway for more than an hour?

+
Come on. So are you saying in a developed country a truck cannot be stuck there for five minutes with the same result?

And for heavens sake, the bold just shows you assume no accidents happen in developed countries!

It's easier to lay all the blame on the driver but the truth remains that this incident could have been avoided, notwithstanding the "recklessness" (yet to be proven) of the driver.

+
Nonsense. No insult intended. Reckless driving leads to accidents everywhere.

As an experienced driver of over 30 years, you must agree with me that one does not drive for himself alone but for others as well. One should anticipate and avert issues while driving and your designated "trained" road safety officers should have anticipated the same in this case.

+
Are you kidding me? Its the person driving who has to drive safely for others as well. Neither do Road safety officers appear at every one centimeter anywhere in the world.

I have sped and overtaken vehicles a good number of times on the highway, that stationary vehicle has no business being there on that road. That vehicle caused the accident and the government is complicit as well.

+
I can only take this as a joke. Make sure in future you look ahead before overtaking and please DO NOT overspeed.

Two lives now gone, condolences rendered by the president, said truck still firmly in place and you tell me this country is normal

+
I never said the country is normal, but blaming the country for the clear reckless driving of an individual is a problem.

DrAda:
I have been driving for nearly 20 years. Started quite early. Another quick question, how long has the stationary trick been on the highway? Do you have that piece of information because I can predict with a high degree of probability that it has been there for at least a week

+
That info, I dont have to be honest. But my views as one who drives (for 30 years now) is simple: When overtaking, you watch carefully first to see what is ahead of you (and you never overtake around a blind curve - not that this was the case here, just saying) - there is simply no way this could happen with a normal careful driver. Severe recklessness was involved.

When I said - "in that window of time" dont you understand that even if it was there for five minutes, anyone driving that recklessly would meet the same fate?

DrAda:
I apologise as well if I sounded rude. It was unintentional

+
Danke - but you owe me none. Perhaps the pidgin dude.

DrAda:
Lol. You are fishing now.

+
Not at all good Doc. Its an inter state highway. If a truck breaks down, it may take time to be removed or even parked by the side. If anyone in that window of time is careless enough to drive with such speed while overtaking in broad day light (no fog, no rain either) and smash into it with enough velocity to destroy the vehicle at the level we saw and smash the head of one of his friends immediately into pulp, that is reckless driving.

Do you drive?

DrAda:
And that is another angle I never thought of. This may likely be the case

+
With the first pictures I saw, I was worried about his legs. But he is walking fine.
Beyond this, is what will be a psychological impact.

DrAda:
Again and I can't say this enough, I couldn't make sense of his post. That was advanced pidgin and trying to decode a piece of text that I am certain will be laced with rude speech is an exercise that I don't want to engage in.

+
Well if that is the case I apologize for my assumption and retract my acerbic words.

Cc: Kukutente23: Learn.

DrAda:
Evidenced by what please? Where is the CCTV footage or speed trackers that concluded this?

+
The damage on his car, if you have seen it, is enough evidence when you consider that the truck they ran into was stationary.

DrAda:
Didn't know about these details and now that I do, quick question, in a sane clime, will the stationary vehicle be allowed to be in such a sensitive spot in the first place? Commone sense dictates that the FRSC would have towed the vehicle but hey what do I know

+
Indeed, but no where in the world does towing always happen instantly, especially on an inter state highway.

NOETHNICITY:
They don’t need to clear themselves of anything

Although I’m not Bini, but I know how these things work over there. The Oba doesn’t need to instruct his to hunt his critics. If any ordinary person in the streets of bini identifies you as someone who criticized their king, all he needs to do is to raise the alarm on you, and they will descend on you.

Unless you have evidence to show that the oba ordered his people to do what they did.

+
I dont think the Oba was involved. But the mere fact that they dragged him to the palace is enough for the Oba and Trad Council to distance themselves publicly.

DrAda:
That and more that I know he will face when he gets to the hospital. Let's just hope he survives as well

+
I am worried that even if he survives, his career may be affected as well.

DrAda:
That and more that I know he will face when he gets to the hospital. Let's just hope he survives as well

+
Emergency responses on an inter state high way anywhere in the world may be delayed.

Secondly you talked about his friends. They died instantly on the spot. Emergency responses would not have saved them.

Thirdly, you dont seem to have taken note that this accident was one in which they were driving at speed, overtaking and ran into a stationary vehicle. That was reckless driving and not Nigeria failing anyone.

DrAda:
I am always polite. Kindly check my old posts to go firm

+
Well pardon my assumption. I saw your sarcastic post as an insult to the person you were responding to, when I thought he was making a fair point, pidgin regardless.

Thanks Jared.

Rubbish must be chased out of our land. People look up to us as educated people, they even call us 'sophisticated'.
We are the pride of the black race, decency is required from our bedrooms, market places, palaces and offices.

We should not be celebrating mediocrity and take pride in it.
Can you imagine King Charles of Great Britain involving himself in trivialities like these?

+
I agree, we must not tolerate this.

But to be honest, we still dont know if the Oba or the Benin Traditional Council were involved.

Nevertheless they must clear themselves. It is TOTALLY unacceptable and ALL involved MUST be arrested.

MightySparrow:

Excellent.

micxwell:
Can you just keep quiet please 🙏. If the truck drivers are reckless with the way they park their trucks on the road; are you supposed to drive straight into their trucks parked on the road at high speed in broad day light? Blame their reckless driving.

+
Thank you!

Exactly.

Overtaking at high speed in broad day light only to run into a stationary vehicle is clear reckless driving!
