I was nearly hit by a van just because of one JBL loud earpiece like that and my carelessness, the Bass was so good that I wasn't attentive to what's going on around me, The van was on reverse and it was Late at Night, Though Street lights were on, it was just few kilometers near me before something told me to turn back. That was my saving grace that time. Ever since then I stopped blocking my ears with earpiece or any of it kinds. If I want to make use of earpiece I would plug in one ear and leave the other open, in case of emergency.

Can’t the NRC fence off the Railway Tracks and build foot bridges over them for Safety?

His Children are now Fatherless

May he RIP

AbuTwins:
Careless though but it was his time to die.

VinnyBaba:
Very YEYE Man, If he knew he wanted to commit suicide,
why NOT he just Travel to Ogun state and Trade his Skull and give the proceeds to his family.

Clairvoyancy:
That's strange, but no matter how loud his earpiece was, the horn of a train can't be overshadowed, even if it's the best oraimo earpiece... Also the vibration on the rail line should be enough to create awareness.... If it's not suicide like someone had mentioned, then it's village people...


RIP to the dead

It would have been better to go to sit at home and IPOB terrorists infested region, where IPOB terrorists and cannibals would have cannibalised him.

7upnigeria:
People are too careless and senseless in Nigeria. Lagos state had to temporarily stop operations for the red line trains to build a fence at THAT SAME OSHODI to prevent traders and pedestrians from accessing the rail tracks.

Honestly, why would a person in their right senses be selling their wares on a WORKING RAIL TRACK. I TIRE FOR SOME PEOPLE.

GanagiBitrus:
It is always unsafe when pedestrians & even drivers wear earpiece while on the road.

But even with earpiece, you should hear or see an approaching train.
Maybe the man commited suicide.

Even if ure not standing on d rail, d vibration of a moving train send waves to even d foundations of neighbouring buildings and shops , talkless of when standing directly on d rail.

Unless d guys has lost both sense of sight, hearing and feeling, combined with maybe an epilepsy or loss of consciousness before the accident. Then just maybe.


RIP to the dead

For all those asking if he couldn't hear or see the train coming, I will share my personal encounter on this subject...
The major culprit is preoccupation!
I just alighted from a danfo on an ever-busy bustop. I quickly cross toward the empty BRT lane and got preoccupied with counting my balance.
Unknowing to me one BRT bus was speeding and
furiously blaring it's horn toward me but my preoccupied mind just interpreted everything as one of the Buses plying the busy major roads behind and Infront, not the empty BRT lane!
Fortunately as I wasn't in a hurry to cross the lane, the BRT bus could only hit my stretch arms counting the money before I immediately jump back!
It's even worse on Train track for first-time visitors and preoccupied minds where traders displays their wares.
These traders are well attune to the sight and sounds of the train so much so they hardly panic and leave less than a meter space between them and the moving train!
A first-time visitor or preoccupied mind can hardly interprete what's really going on until too late...
they find themselves on the track and got hit!

Hushpuppy20:
It is a joke to tell me that you don't hear train horn, it Is suicide they should investigate.

GanagiBitrus:
So when you wear earpiece, you become totally deaf.

Its just like telling me aeroplane is landing and people near airport no go hear. How can?

Azazyel:
Damn the man's spirit would keep moving like nothing happened. He'll still think he's alive cos it happened so fast until he sees that he can't communicate with anyone around him

Few kilometers is not close at all, it must have been few meters.
