You are part of the problem.
Accidents happens everywhere in the world!

Look at their excuse - "accidents happen everywhere in the world" - they protect their egos more than take responsibility.
Have you looked at NBS auto crash statistics?
If you have you wont say "accidents happen everywhere in the world". So lazy - these ppl chei!

I agree!!! The solution is compulsory driver education and psychiatric evaluation for ALL commercial bus drivers.

Someone propose this to your government of your state. I weep for innocent souls being claimed daily.

they wont service their cars and "put it in the hand of God"; when it happens they blame demons.

The fact that Nigerians learn no lessons shows they are less than lower animals. Why is everyone overspeeding. Nigerian roads continue to claim lives because Nigerians drive one way, drive recklessly, dangerous overtaking, dangerous overtaking at sharp bendings, do not wait for people, etc and "put everything in the hand of God"

It is high time Nigerians themselves come up with their own solution to this problem - government is not omni present.... They should be able to govern themselves they arent animals.

All this blood sulking demons that calls themselves politifcians especially Obianu wasting the lives of unsuspecting individuals to acquire power for the election that will not hold. God help us.

HOW IS THE GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED? IT IS HIGH TIME NIGERIANS START DRIVING RESPONSIBLY. IT IS NOT GOVERNMENT. IT IS NIGERIANS...

GRACE AND MERCY TO THE DECEASED.

Whaaoo, Dangote Sugar dividend just landed. Wishing everyone one a very sweet weekend.
My weekend has started tonight, courtesy of Mr Dangote.

Please what % was the yield @ what purchase price?

No compulsory driver education after 6 months ur bank account will be frozen..... that's the only language Nigerians understand..... force...

What Nigeria needs is compulsory driver education.... it's not so hard to do.... any Tom, Dick and Harry can just pick up a car and start driving.... and Nigerians drive like animals.....

A woman's mind is deeper than the ocean who can understand it, this world would ve been a better place without women.

I disagree.... it's the male violenve and ego that is the number one problem. Men are the highest number of murderers and ego driven animals.

How can a person determine which taxi is legit at the airport please?

Go to YouTube type Patrick Brown and watch a few videos and see how responsible govt are run.

Then go to any developed country and see how ppl behave u will see why naija is how it is.

Enter any Lagos bound flight from Europe, people start to insult the air hostesses, ask them for their phone numbers, fight u for tilting ur seat back and people exchanging insults.

Surely it's not just the government.... we need a cultural diffusion.

Nigeriadondie:

100% supported.Blacks are incapable of self rule if not point let any point out any African country that is prosperous.

Zimbabwe which was formerly called Rhodesia was a rich country but after d expulsion of the whites it is so poor even hunger in d land after white farmers were evicted.

Uganda was also quite prosperous but after Idi Amin expelled all d whites and Indians Uganda has since remained poor.

South Africa has made so much unrivaled advancement thanks to d presence of the whites.

If the US,Uk and France have foreign overseas territory like the Falkland Island Nigeria should be an overseas territory.We would be better off.

You have just hit the pride of many who will come to harass or insult you. Perhaps this is where the white folks are better namely: results and responsibility over ego and pride and vain glory.

Well, Northerners in the Senate and House of Representatives just voted against a Bill that would have allowed the States to generate, transmit and distribute their own electricity.

Which shows how regressive Nigeria is.... how can states be actively against development. Lol.

nerodenero:
Wish sick Nigerians living in Nigeria also have this first class treatment Buhari enjoys in London. Many Nigerians in similar situation have died, are dying and will continue to die except our polithiefcians learn to do the right thing.

Buhari might still be alive because of grace from God and good health care facility. It is not asking too much if Nigerians demand for a better healthcare facility in the country.

Nothing is preventing churches, various organizations from building hospital. One private jet can build a hospital.

Take responsibility. Don't blame. That's laziness.

Igbo people

I do not disagree with u. It could be there is a territorial spirit of greed and lust for money/ power/pride ruling over Igbo land.... these cases are too rampant in Igbo land. They do all sorts for money....

The ego and violence of man is the biggest threat to civilization. Long live feminism!

We are suffering from internal colonialism. Nigeria's useless corrupt leaders have colonised the docile slaves that occupy this geographical area.

Oil wealth meant benefit 180 million people has been cornered by the various leaders and shared among their family friends(Indimi),wife hairdressers(Alakija) and concubines.

Nigeria is witnessing the greatest theft ever experienced my any civilisation by it's leaders at Federal,State and Local goverment level. At least if the British were here they would have developed the railways and given us 24 hour electricity.

Exactly... and they would have brought basic civility...

pls read my last post... and tell me how looting is related to poor discipline on the road. Canada has one of the worst weathers in the world yet we don't see people driving nonsense....

Let us be honest and stop giving excuses. that high number of accidents occurred because the average Nigerian is a reckless driver.... so how can Nigeria get better?

Lets stop blaming leaders.

Something is def wrong with the ppl. Even federal road safety (not me!) recently recommended psychiatric evaluation for road traffic offenders.

ladies and gentlemen, please tell me if the accident figures below is as a result of colonialism, government or if Nigerians themselves are to be blamed. the government did build roads, even if the roads are bad people should drive "according to road conditions" - is the average Nigerian mad? The black man has proven that they are animals that need strong handed governance. even when UK was visa free Nigerians started abusing it. If you are on a plane to Nigeria, all the flights will be good once you get on the final leg to Nigeria, all manner of problems arises. anyway look at the official govt stats below and tell me who is to blame... is it not the Nigerian who is unable to govern himself - howcome other countries less developed than Nigeria hv better road stats.

The National Bureau of Statistics on Monday said Nigeria recorded 1,279 deaths in 2,503 road crashes in the second quarter of this year.

The NBS in its road transport report which was made available to our correspondent blamed speed violation as a major reason for the road crashes.

This, it added, accounted for 44.4 per cent of the total road accident during the period.

It said loss of control and dangerous driving followed closely as they both accounted for 12.92 per cent and 8.06 per cent of the total road crashes recorded.

The report reads in part, “A total of 8,270 Nigerians got injured in the road traffic crashes recorded. 7,805 of the 8,270 Nigerians that got injured, representing 94 per cent of the figure, are adults while the remaining 465 Nigerians, representing six per cent of the figure are children.

“6,217 male Nigerians, representing 75 per cent, got injured in road crashes in Q2 while 2,053 female Nigerians, representing 25 per cent, got injured.

“Similarly, a total of 1,279 Nigerians got killed in the road traffic crashes recorded in Q2. 1,207 of the 1,279 Nigerians that got killed, representing 94 per cent of the figure, are adults while the remaining 72 Nigerians, representing six per cent of the figure are children.

“1,022 male Nigerians, representing 80 per cent, got killed in road crashes in Q2 while 257 female Nigerians, representing 20 per cent got killed.”

The report put the vehicle population in Nigeria as of the second quarter at 11,506,863.

It said with the total population of the country currently at 193,392,517, Nigeria’s vehicle per population ratio is now 0.06.

Further breakdown from the category of vehicles involved in road crashes in the second quarter showed that 58.59 per cent or 2,363 are commercial, 40.22 per cent or 1,622 are private, 1.14 per cent or 46 are government and the remaining two belonged to diplomats.

It said the Federal Capital Territory recorded the highest number of road crashes in the second quarter. This, it added, was closely followed by Kaduna and Niger states while Borno and Bayelsa states recorded the least.

Government has built roads, Nigerians drive recklessly on it then blame govt! If you have read this post tell everyone you know and let them too spread it so that this can reduce. Praying before you embark on your journey is only 50% the solution; the other 50% is what is causing these casualties.

So according to your warp mentality, your "masters" dont steal, they dont do fake ids, they dont do drugs, they dont do murder.

Dude get help.

Living in denial will lead you no where....
They are the norm in Nigeria not in Britain.
Document forgery is a crime but no big deal in Nigeria.
Wats so big about admitting Nigeria is a troubled nation and that the good of certain cultures could be copied.

OK you are just crazy or high on some forbidden mushrums, no need to discuss further.
If you are stoned then it is best to wait for you to recover.
Your idea seems like a genious plan in your head, but if you could see clearly or were not a natural slave then you would realize how ridiculous you sound.

thanks

Nigerian education has fallen so low that some of you guys now believe that slavery is the best you can hope for.
Well to be fair it is only some "yorubas" who think that way, not all, I guess those whose ancestors migrated from brazil.
Slave dna is one tricky thing.
I hope you find "the best and align with the best", but I wish that only for you and your family. You guys can go back to slavery and call it whatever you wish to call it, me and my people we want our freedom, we want to honour our ancestors.

thanks

history2903:
In the history of man kind who else has ever done what you are asking for ?

Nigerian leaders should not be shy to ask for international help... this is leadership best practice and should be more aggressive in delivery... less 10 yr plans and more 3 month plans....

I think this is common sense that well meaning Nigerians will agree with...

Also Nigerians should improve their compliance...

history2903:
"yoruba" mentality, even "uncle tom" would be saying "what the fvck ?"
I guess some people's culture is slavery and love for bondage, the love of being someone's bitchhhh:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMe8-AjHWsY

No its seeking the best... and aligning with the best... to better oneself... just as companies only go for the very best/ cream of the crop wen they hiring.... and just as Nigerians emigrating far and wide are seeking the best since the best was not found in Nigeria for many ppl...

Pharaoh9:


Our leaders are the ones cheating us, when they want better stuffs they hire foreigners, send their children to foreign school, employ foreign doctors etc

It's high time we hire foreign leaders

Exactly! Bermuda Government is doing well. We can hire from there if Nigerians want someone with black skin color though I don't care about skin color.

But Nigerians also cheat themselves! Through causing accidents thru one way driving, having fake ids, conspiring to steal, etc all these things make Nigeria bad so I would split the blame 50% Nigeria Government, 50% people... the people need a change of mentality too.... I say this with all due respect...

RisingSun1:


You mentioned Local govt? Are u aware that LGAs in Nigeria are not allowed to build Power plant or construct or repair Federal roads that crossed their area even if they have the money? Any power generated at state or local level will have to be sent to national grid.

Your proposal will be counterproductive because inviting Britain to re-colonize us means to approve Britain to plunder our land.They can't come here without satisfying their interest. In fact your preferred country Britain is notorious worldwide for looting and plundering.

Lastly another problem will be after u are done with Britain getting them to leave won't be that easy.Remember the Scots,the voluntary joined Britain now it's proving difficult to leave the Union. The English don't want to leave them anymore. The Scots are stocked

Good points
Britain GDP is 2.619 trillion USD (2016)
Nigeria GDP 405.1 billion USD (2016)

What will they loot that Nigerians will not loot? At least they hv a sense of responsibility dat is lacking in Nigeria.... there is no motive for them to loot anything - there will be a sharing formula...

history2903:

How can a person confuse canada with nigeria ?
I am not an expert in canadian history, but it seems to me that canada was built in the same manner as the usa: it was a complete takeover of the lands of the indegenous people. And that take over was done by britain. The migrants were from numerous european countries but they all swore loyalty to the king or queen of england. [b]Up to today the queen of england is also the queen of canada. So in essence canada is an extension of britain. [/b]Canada is a real country eventhough it was built by a great injustice.

Interesting...

history2903:

Let me explain nigeria to you: nigeria is not a country and we all know it, although whenever a tribe or an alliance of tribes have their man in power, those tribes will staart shouting "one nigeria or death", the minute they are not in power their "patriotism" dies as well.
Nigeria is a little bit like game of thrones: several noble houses fighting not to move the union into higher developpement but to subdue each other and to capture each other's wealth.
Britain is not an artificial country it is still using its own indigenous institutions which have been around for thousnads of years and have grown in strenght. In britain the law actually means something and even a prime minister can go to prison for comitting a felony. The solution to your "nigerian problem" seems very simple : go back to your precolonial countries which have thousands of years of history.
british people are not more honnest in any stretch of the imagination, but they do have a fonctional country with strong institutions and laws and order because they have a real country, not an artificial one.

this is a good thought but they are certainly more honest - Nigerians are liars any attempt to argue over this one is just a refusal to humbly accept the truth... Nigerians are chronic liars and lieing is ingrained in the culture - british culture is more honest and lying is frowned upon.

you make a good arguments about country artificiality.... Canada is an artificial country made up of immigrants yet its functional so I do not see this as a strong point. the original Canadians are aborigines - as we speak the Canadian minister for immigration is a former Somali refugee...

from the same link - a Japanese minister resigning few days ago:

"I am strongly aware of my responsibility as defense minister to supervise Ministry of Defense and Self Defence Force. I would like to return my one-month salary and decided to resign from defense minister," she said at a news conference Friday morning.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/27/asia/tomomi-inada-japan-defense-minister/

Why is it that since 1960 till today - no leader has been able to do this

This is responsibility!
