Leave emotions call a spade a spade.
The woman is at fault.
The BRTs move fast, they are supposed to move fast, what do you think the "RAPID" in BRT stands for?

BRT...Bus Rapid Transit. RAPID=Swift, Great speed.

Those BRT drivers are maniacs, the way they drive that bus, you will think they are outside to hit every pedestrians, they intentionally don't match brakes when they see pedestrians trying to cross the road and that's wickedness.

I hope they prosecute the driver for manslaughter.

Emotion aside, if you see someone doing the wrong thing, does that mean you should do the wrong thing as well and hit them?

What happens to matching brake when you see pedestrians crossing and also, you're saying they ought to have take pedestrian bridge, what if the bridge isn't close to where they are or have you lost your sense of reasoning?

There is a pedestrian bridge at Palm grove bus stop,which the victims failed to use.


The stupid cow of a mother tried to cross the highway with two toddlers who could barely walk.


But the blame would still go to the reckless driver who failed to drive properly.



It's even criminal offence to even cross that expressway without using the pedestrian bridge.

Haba, why would a sane mother cross that busy expressway with 3 kids?

As at 1998, the penalty for crossing was #10,000 fine or a month imprisonment.

Now it's the drivers fault, someone to blame.
The way people jump in front of buses around that corridor is disturbing, àwọn alakoba people
The woman too will be charged to court when she is discharged because it's an offence to cross that express without using the pedestrian bridge

These BRT bus drivers are way too overzealous for my liking. That you are driving on a dedicated bus lane does not mean you should throw all caution to the wind and drive fast and furious. It's even so that you exercise extreme care knowing fully well the habit of Lagosians in crossing the lanes.

He should rot in jail honestly.

So which part of the article indicates excess speed

Only a speeding vehicle or careless driver won't be able to see or stop in time to avoid an accident of such nature.

If he's on the brt lane and driving at or below the speed limit with caution he can not be accused of driving recklessly.

No one should be crossing the road with kids. Not one but two toddlers how daft can you be

You are right sir!
But the driver failed to use the brakes.

Using the brakes would have save the trouble he got himself into and that dead boy would still be alive.
Re: BRT Bus Crushes Five-Year-Old To Death In Lagos by missymide: 2:46am On Mar 05
I wonder how people like you react to a news. How is their crossing related to drug master? What happened to the mother ensuring that the road was safe for crossing before endangering the lives of those children and herself? Why rush when the road will still be free at a particular time? Our safety is in our hands to an extent cos I see people cross carelessly and I wonder if they will get to their destination if something goes wrong like this. It is not everything that leaders should be blamed for.

Do you drive a motor vehicle sir, I always pray to God that I don't come across an unfortunate pedestrian or cyclist.

Some months back this stupid boy saw me coming down the road and I saw him, he didn't have right of way he was attempting to cycle past the main road from standstill and as soon as I was within a few feet of him he started his poorly considered push and I had to jam on the brakes and turn the car away as I came to a halt within a few inches of him, I thought I was about to hit him but thank God because no matter what no one would give enough consideration to the driver.

There are pedestrian crossing and cycle lanes for a good reason people should learn to use them, I cycle as well and I give motorists the respect they deserve.

Many people are mad in this country does not give the sane people to join them to display madness.

Where you at the SCENE? the answer is NOPE.
why create a scenario when you ain't there, a friend was involved in an accident as a driver only small contact the guy head cracked at OWODE-ONIRIN the only saving grace was that the police men saw what happened and came to the rescue, i witnessed it live ,imagine speed not up to 30 km/h oooo
so always define accident well before assuming, what you call speed in this brt isn't up to 40 km/h
