See this one.... Do you know how many people die daily in Nigeria? So federal government should start commenting on every death in the country or every hit and run that happens..lol

You are right, when Dangote truck eventually gets to your turn, we will just ignore your death as well.

Travel › ⭕️⭕️Ruth Itabor Killed By Dangote Truck, FG Silent… FG focused only on 2027!⭕️⭕️ by malali(op): 3:01pm On Sep 02, 2025*

The death of Ruth Itabor Phyna’s sister, struck down by a Dangote truck, has been met with a deafening silence from Nigerian authorities. That silence is not mere negligence, it is complicity.

How can a state, whose first duty is to protect its citizens, look away from the blood repeatedly spilled on its highways by poorly regulated, overworked, and often recklessly managed trucks belonging to the nation’s largest conglomerate? These deaths are not accidents anymore; they are predictable outcomes of a broken system where power trumps accountability.

What we are witnessing is the normalization of tragedy. The attitude from those in charge appears to be: “It is easier for Nigerians to die than for Dangote’s empire to face oversight.” This logic is not only cowardly but corrosive, it signals that there are two Nigerias: one where ordinary people can perish without consequence, and another where wealth shields institutions from scrutiny.

Nigeria is not the only African country with trucks on its roads. Ghana has trucks. Kenya has trucks. South Africa has trucks. Yet our roads are graveyards, our headlines littered with body counts. Why? Because in Nigeria, systemic impunity has been allowed to metastasize. Because the state has ceded its moral authority to corporations who operate beyond the reach of law.

The death of Ruth Itabor should not be reduced to just another statistic that trends for 48 hours and fades. It should be the catalyst for real reform. Mandatory safety audits. Strict licensing. Independent oversight boards. Enforcement that bites, not selective outrage followed by silence.

This is not just about Dangote. It is about the value of Nigerian lives. Are we to accept that Nigerians must continue to die simply because holding powerful interests accountable is “inconvenient”?

The truth is simple: when government refuses to act, it is no longer neutral, it is complicit. And complicity is betrayal.

If we cannot protect our citizens from the wheels of corporate recklessness, then we are not a nation. We are simply a marketplace where the poor are expendable and the rich are untouchable.

This moment, painful, raw, and tragic, should be a turning point. Let Ruth Tabor’s death not be swept away by silence. Let it be remembered as the point Nigerians demanded that their lives matter more than trucks, profits, and political cowardice.

THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.

Many of his appointees failed to openly defend his mandate, too often, they stayed silent in the face of relentless attacks on his government. Yet, he has been driving forward with bold, progressive agendas that signal a new vision for Niger. This time around, he must surround himself with truly capable and loyal allies, individuals who will not only serve him when he is watching, but who will consistently champion him and his policies everywhere they go.

This is exactly the kind of tragedy that should have forced Dangote and his empire to face corporate responsibility.

A Dangote truck has snatched away a young graduate , a mother of two innocent children , now left orphaned in a country where justice is always for sale. Her children will cry themselves to sleep without their mother, while Dangote counts billions and climbs Forbes’ list.

And I can bet you , not a word will come out of Dangote himself. No statement, no apology, no sense of shared humanity. Just the same cold silence that has followed decades of blood on Nigerian highways caused by his trucks.

This is not an isolated accident. It is a 40-year-long slow massacre. Hundreds , maybe thousands , of Nigerians have perished under the reckless wheels of trucks bearing his name. And what do we get? A routine social media condolence, a recycled statement, and then business as usual. The cycle of money and death continues.

When will the Nigerian government finally rise to the occasion and confront this rot? When will Dangote be forced to answer for the condition of his trucks, the competence of his drivers, and the sheer disregard for human life in his logistics chain?

There are 200 million Nigerians who rely on these roads. This is not just a tragedy, it is a national emergency.

We do not want another faceless condolence memo from some PR team. We want Dangote himself to stand before Nigerians, to explain, to be held accountable. A young life, a mother’s life, has been cut short for profit margins and corporate carelessness.

Her name deserves to be remembered. Her death should not be swept under the carpet. If this country had a spine, this single tragedy would have been enough to trigger a public reckoning , an end to reckless trucking, and the beginning of a safer Nigeria.

But if our leaders continue to play deaf and blind, then one day, it will be their own families crushed under the same wheels of negligence, and by then, Nigerians will have no sympathy left to give.

Good we are calling out Dangote and his trucks out. So will other trucks and especially tanker drivers and their owners be exempted from the calling out?

Dangote must step up. With billions comes immense responsibility. He earns the most revenue from trucking in Nigeria, and when action is required, he cannot hide behind managers or other owners. This is a moment to demonstrate true corporate responsibility, not deflect, excuse, or gaslight the public by pointing fingers elsewhere.

The ban is necessary. That shows how crazy they drive in India.

Indian drivers and Nigerian drivers are from the same school of thought.

Some of those Dangote drivers have only driven in kano or up north where you can dive 50 miles without any reasonable traffic. Then they come to Lagos and they are not tested and they are given trucks to drive.
That huge change is a recipe for disaster.

Politics › FGN Stop Playing With Lives: Deadly Truckers Cannot Keep Killing Citizens. by malali(op): 9:10pm On Aug 31, 2025

Nigeria has a problem that cannot be ignored, delayed, or brushed aside: reckless, deadly truck drivers, often operating fleets of corporate giants, continue to maim and kill ordinary Nigerians. Enough is enough.

The list of tragedies is long, but one stands painfully clear: Ruth Itabor, a young woman killed by a Dangote trucker, a life cut short in circumstances that scream negligence. She should not have died. Yet the system has allowed her death to be buried under excuses, as if the lives of citizens are disposable. Multiple long-bone fractures, poorly maintained vehicles, overworked drivers, this is not an accident; this is negligence on an industrial scale.

And this is not an isolated case. Across Nigeria, trucks have caused horrific accidents: multiple deaths, petrol spills, public highways turned into death traps. In 2022 alone, Lagos highways saw numerous fatalities from truck collisions, including children and commuters whose only crime was driving to work or school. Yet policymakers remain largely silent.

It is time for action. The government must:
1. Open a case of negligent homicide for Ruth Itabor and ensure her family is not left to fight alone.
2. Nationalize hearings: the House of Representatives, all relevant committees, and arms of government must convene a high-level session to tackle trucking safety across Nigeria.
3. Strict regulation and monitoring of trucks: regular roadworthiness inspections, speed governors, mandatory insurance, and heavy penalties for reckless driving.
4. Driver accountability: no driver should operate beyond safe hours; fatigue must be regulated.
5. Public reporting systems: citizens must be able to report unsafe trucks, and the government must act swiftly.
6. Petroleum and hazardous cargo oversight: strict protocols for trucks carrying refined fuel or chemicals to prevent spills and mass casualties.

The government cannot continue to hide its head in the sand, regardless of whose ox is gored. Every day that passes without action is another day citizens are put at risk. If the policymakers, legislators, and government officials do not act, one day it will happen to them,or their families, and there will be no sympathy from Nigerians.

Lives are at stake. Enough excuses. Open investigations, enforce laws, and make Nigerian roads safe.

I saw the clip of the accident in this picture. The driver should be sent to death. It was a Punjabi immigrant.

He made a U turn at a point where there clearly is a No UTurn sign. The vehicle coming behind him drove straight into the truck’s trailer.

The crazy part is the guy was unmoved. Those truck drivers are heartless.

They said the guy couldn't read the road sign. But, the government quickly placed a ban on all foreign truck drivers within 48 hours. Thats a government that cares about every single citizen.

You made sense. Chevron had one air ambulance. I once announced the opportunity here when they needed a certified air ambulance nurse. I shared same vacancy on major social media platform but I was unable to get one for chevron, for months. In a country of over 200m population(official) fa, no single air ambulance nurse could be found. I wonder which kain course our people dey study sef.

Air ambulance nurses,
Emergency Response Personnel,
Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineers,
Biomedical Engineers, etc are hot cakes.

Sadly, people are too blind to see them. Instead, they'd be going for anyhow courses just because they want to enter a university. Time is invaluable fa

She could have been transferred to a better hospital within Nigeria, but instead, she was left to die. No one could realistically survive multiple long‑bone fractures in that facility. She should have been moved to a tertiary hospital in Nigeria, or at least had access to teleconsultations with foreign specialists. She was given no fighting chance. She was abandoned to die.

See eh oga, I don't know Dangote. I have never work in his company or subsidiary. But let's stop this blame game of only Dangote trucks.
They're many other trailers company causing accidents on our road on a daily but majority always take it to be Dangote trucks.
And let's also leave the trucks alone, why are we always pointing fingers at the man himself when he has numerous supervisors and managers handling most of his companies.
This our always blaming the man himself is unnecessary honestly.

When I say Dangote, it’s not personal. The point is separating the individual from the corporate brand when disasters strike, yet his name alone makes the billionaire lists, this feels like dodging accountability. His fleet of trucks has a notorious record for reckless and deadly accidents, some vehicles barely roadworthy. Claiming “he’s not the only one” doesn’t excuse a crime, just because others misbehave doesn’t make it right. Even with layers of managers and supervisors, the ultimate responsibility rests with him. Think of Tinubu with all his ministers and governors; we still hold him accountable for Nigeria’s failures. The government must craft strict, decisive policies to shield citizens from this chaos. It’s only going to worsen, especially with these same trucks now carrying refined petroleum nationwide. I pray no one’s car is hit and set ablaze, but before that tragedy, we must raise our voices to demand the sanctification and strict oversight of the entire trucking sector.

SarkinYarki:
Dangote failed to airlift the girl out

Dangote will hop on a private jet without blinking, cross continents just to show face at Otedola’s wedding, then glide into Davido’s in the same weekend. He doesnt hire an unqualified pilot and he wont get on a plane that is not well serviced.
But every single day his trucks are mowing down Nigerians, and not a single word about safer trucking.

The attitude is clear: if you die, you die.

When Dangote Group claimed they would “fly her out once certified to travel,” I knew it was empty billionaire grammar. Air ambulances lift unconscious patients every single day , so if they truly wanted, she’d have been flown. That statement was just a polite way of saying, “If she survives, we’ll make it look good.”

So really , to what end are billions and trillions if basic humanity is abandoned? Where does chasing endless zeros while bodies pile up on Nigerian highways make sense?

This should be the line in the sand, a moment to confront the carnage of Dangote’s trucking empire. Nigerians have shouted for years about his trucks spilling blood on our roads. Now with petrol haulage being added to the mix, the disaster will only multiply.

Enough of the silence. Enough of the damage. We need strict government policies and oversight before he starts transporting petrol from his refinery and setting human beings ablaze all over the highways,like Barbecue.

Same thing happened in the USA and within 48hrs.....Trump's administration had made policy changes regarding truck drivers in the entire USA. Nigerian government will not act unless a senator or governor or their children are the ones involved in the accident.

For all we know, Tinubu is a CIA/FBI asset planted in Nigeria as an mole/spy with adequate cover.

Nobody knows his biological parents
Nobody knows his biological siblings
Nobody knows his family house
Nobody knows his village
Nobody knows his classmates
Nobody knows his peers as a Young man
Nobody knows his real names

Only thing everybody agrees on is his Heroin involvement with asset forfeiture to the tune of half a million dollars in the 1970's.

NATO is the supposed military wing of the EU..

The EU is not meant for military, it's for economy...

Turkey begged to join NATO when the threat from attack by Russia was too much... NATO helped turkey get peace..

Ever since turkey has been on it's knee begging the EU it wants to join the organization , but they refused.. citing turkey's inclination to Islam... The EU said all her members must be secular minded..

Turkey continue to beg till date

You are arguing out of context, we are comparing military might and military coalition back up. EU is more of an economic thing.
Turkey is a NATO member.....Israel cannot even attack them alone talkless of attacking them despite their NATO membership.
