Personally I'm all for no speed limits on certain roads in Nigeria. However while Lagos govt looks at limiting speeding on Lagos roads, they should also concern themselves with the safety of vehicles that pligh Lagos roads. When watching You Tube Videos on Lagos, especially those featuring the newly renovated bridge, too many vehicles look like deathtrap junks. I'm afraid many of the vehicles I've seen are so mechanically suspect they are quite capable of somersaulting or veering of the bridge and into the lagoon while traveling at 20 mph. Lagos that is setting herself up as the standard model for all other states of the federation to emulate, should begin to limit the quality and age of vehicles allowed on her roads. The days of making allowances for the less financially able by, for instance, ignoring jalopies , should end. We need to move to the next level. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dominique: Yepp. Implications of the universal laws of motion.. A sudden stop (vehicle hindered by the railings) would have resulted to objects (passengers)not tethered to said vehicle, or not constrained by the vehicle itself, continuing the course of motion through windows .. open or glassed. |

PHIPEX: Guy, everything is not superstition. The Niger bridge has it secret history that made the German construction company change her name to Julius Berger. Coz it was the Julius Berger that accepted to to sacrifice himself to the River goddess after several damages and casualties in the course of the construction. After the agreement was made, they were able to finish up the work without problems again. The Man sacrificed himself and the company gave him the honor. Even here in IMO state, a nearby bridge has fallen and all attempt to fix it has proven abortive and upto 5 men have drowned in course of reconstruction. Since then, it has become an abandoned project because the contractor is not willing to sacrifice |

Whenever we board all this commercial buses we should try to caution them in a low voice whenever they are on top speed. Safety first... |
