I hate when this happens.

@bolded. I don't think anybody can be rescued from that pancaked bus, call it a recovery of victims instead

This is not the time to market yiur IPOB candidate, get sense for once.

There's not a better time than now. If we are serious and we think this needs be put to an end, then let him campaign for good governance.

F117nighthawk:
There is a major police command in that area, they can clear and get rid of those touts if they are determined and serious. We are just a terrible breed of human beings where only corruption and evil things are what catches our attention


quote author=HenryWilliams post=120474868]

They can but the touts at the bottom of the bridge makes life's extremely difficult for them .
This section of the bridge is notorious for such accidents.
Last year almost 4 very similar events occurred involving trailers with containers.

Yes you are right. A whole divisional police command is situated right there but we all know where they're mind is focused on .

That is the fire service building on the left with the blue color and the police station area c!

Lord have mercy!

Blame it on the VIO and the state gov, they run after private cars .......

Hiss

Okay, we are tired of south west and north that have ruled this country for decades yet, we dont even have 24/7 electricity, if u have health crises, u are dead already!

No need giving them back the power, we have tried the both regions over and over again and look at the country that they gave us after 60 years! They gave us a country like this!

The truck did not latch it's container cargo

Truck must have been speeding to run up the bridge

DSC7:
Just imagine what APC and Tinupoo have caused again


Quick recovery to the affected victims.....

The moniker above mine is a newly recruited urchin ... He sees things upside down

Really!
Is it looking like someone is going to recover from this?

Linda1999:
Nah bad road the cause all this can thing,

we just can't wait for jagaban to become the president and make good roads for us

this is not bad....wrong balancing of the container and wrong turn by the driver

thats why it’s called Nigeria.since I left Nigeria I have not set my eyes on tippers or heavy trucks.They move when u r sleeping.we didn’t leave Nigeria go make money abroad.we left to live the life God planned for us.everything in Nigeria is designed to kill u.

Just yesterday, I was lamenting about this trucks falling on vehicles or buses n ending lives. I wondered why the force men will not checkmate them, or force them to at least tie the container to the truck carrying them in case of necessities. Just 24 hours ago!!! God pls rest the souls of the departed. Very very sad avoidable deaths. If only we have functional police force n not these rogues on uniform, this trucks should be plying at night.

Jesus this is very bad

sad

I think this is the best time the Government need to take bold steps on containers in lagos. The same way okada was banned on major street. Containers too need to be restricted at certain hours on the road. Many of those trailers need to be check for road worthiness.

Gunayo:
Wickedness of the highest order. May he whose own has finished not destroy us in Jesus name. I must live to witness the rebirth of a new Nigeria through his excellency Peter Obi.

Do you fill obi no what is doing

Don't let your hate for Buhari make you to forget there is different in name and opinion

I'm not saying they're dead but...

HAVE YOU BEEN INSIDE THOSE JAMPACKED SARDINES

Trailers are causing havoc on our roads, the authority need to urgently address this issue.

Some families have lost their loved ones in the blink of an eye. What a tragedy!! May their souls rest in peace. Govt needs to do something about these heavy duty trucks.

I hate to hear or see this kind of accudent especially when humans are involve.

The trailer was trying to block the bus from overtaken and the bus driver stubbornly put head.
You see the consequences of stubbornness?

Nine people died. Only the korope conductor manage to escape. Just leaving the accident scene now.

Intellectual slowpoke.
What has Tinubu got to do with reckless driving?

Tinubu has already made political history and your own achievement is posting on Nairaland.

I was at ojuelegba yesterday oo haba they should stop allowing trailer to follow this bridge

Chai

When we say they should allow other ports in nigeria to function optimally to decongest lagos urchins we say we are envious of lagos. How long will innocent lagosians continue to die like this because of too much greed?

gdbelt:
Other African countries permit trailers, big trucks and containers to move only at night why can't we reciprocate same in Nigeria?

This is a lie. How many other countries have you been that are permitting truck drivers only at night. There are design flaws with the Ojuelegba bridge. It's like a yearly occurrence now. When will Lagos state govt do something about this? Perhaps trucks shouldn't be permitted on the bridge?

The thing with Nigerian truckers is that they don't use harness belts to secure this containers, the FRSC and the police would see and turn a Inc eye after collecting something from the driver. Most times you see the containers are not even properly placed well on the truck. It's sad really. Over 18 people dead just like that.

Ojuelegba again..

God have mercy
