Someone should explain how a leg amputation can lead to death when the person does not suffer from diabetes.

Only the thoughts and psychological effects it has on someone is enough to kpai the person right on the hospital bed, Dangote's trucks crushing the youths in Nigeria ain't orchestrated from the physical realm. We pray against evil evil circumstances.

Why didn't Phyna airlift her sister and Sue Dangote ? Why wait? Now the sister don die. All these people sef.

SarkinYarki:
Dangote failed to airlift the girl out
Dangote will hop on a private jet without blinking, cross continents just to show face at Otedola’s wedding, then glide into Davido’s in the same weekend. He doesnt hire an unqualified pilot and he wont get on a plane that is not well serviced.
But every single day his trucks are mowing down Nigerians, and not a single word about safer trucking.

The attitude is clear: if you die, you die.

When Dangote Group claimed they would “fly her out once certified to travel,” I knew it was empty billionaire grammar. Air ambulances lift unconscious patients every single day , so if they truly wanted, she’d have been flown. That statement was just a polite way of saying, “If she survives, we’ll make it look good.”

So really , to what end are billions and trillions if basic humanity is abandoned? Where does chasing endless zeros while bodies pile up on Nigerian highways make sense?

This should be the line in the sand, a moment to confront the carnage of Dangote’s trucking empire. Nigerians have shouted for years about his trucks spilling blood on our roads. Now with petrol haulage being added to the mix, the disaster will only multiply.

Enough of the silence. Enough of the damage.
We need strict government policies and oversight before he starts transporting petrol from his refinery and setting human beings ablaze all over the highways,like Barbecue.

Same thing happened in the USA and within 48hrs.....Trump's administration had made policy changes regarding truck drivers in the entire USA. Nigerian government will not act unless a senator or governor or their children are the ones involved in the accident.

So called African richest man!

.:
DANGOTE!

As a Nigerian, the only thing I can benefit is to claim we have the richest person in Africa from my country

Other than that, zero help to me, zero impact to an average Nigerian. Or wait, negative impact to nigerians, he remains killer dangote. Richest man in Africa that cannot hire competent divers and compensate them well.
Richest man that working in his company is equivalent to slave labor.
People working in his companies cannot boast of having a good life

There are 3 Ps of a good company. Profit, People (employees and consumers) and the last P which is Planet

This means, as much as a company should stay Profitable, they should have positive impact in the lives of the People-- Compensate employees well and let the wealth distribute... Working in Mobil/Total/NLNG for example, the staff are well compensated and the wealth distributes to their families making the world a better place. Lastly, the Planet...Meaning you dont destroy the enviroment while runnning your company.


Unfortunately, dangote is only successful in one P out of the 3Ps. which is the Profit.

The People: Dangote is a disaster and a failure in this aspect.....His staff are not well paid, overworked and worst of all he has a terrible control process to ensure safety of lives and properties...Dangote alone has crippled and killed thousands of innocent nigerians over the years. His consumers have been heavily punished through monoply and high prices of cement and petrol. The price of petrol doubled the moment he dipped his hands into it, a coincidence?

The Planet: a total disaster in this...He exploit the planet, invest heavily in digging and breaking up the planets yet he is not giving back...


So Dangote, congratulations! enjoy your title as the African Richest Man, you are great in that aspect but you have failed in the other aspects that matter too...You will leave this planet in few decades and you will never be able to take the title with you not even a pin...

And to me and many others who don't worship money, YOU ARE NOT GREAT!

I don’t know how much they would have spent on her that would have rescued her or brought her normal life back

Even if she survived, she would never remain the same person again

Legs gone, paralyzed, hands gone…

Chai! Dangote!!!!

Billionaires have never been known to be kind!
Infact most make their money by exploitation!
That's why I have zero trust in people like Bill Gates

As Dangote no be Igbo man, SWest people will not react to this, to them nothing much, it's not a big deal. But let it be Allen Onyema's plane or Ibeto's truck or ABC Transport truck or buses or Young Shall Grow bus that committed this, you can only imagine their reaction yet they expect Igbos to be loving and hailing them daily. Whatever you see us Igbos do online is nothing but a push back.

Things were never this bad under Goodluck Jonathan's regime, we were united as a people, we fought and celebrated together until they brought tri ba lism politics in Lagos in 2014/2015. Rest in peace my dear, may the good Lord grant you eternal rest and your family the fortitude to hear the loss. Dangote should as a matter of urgency compensate this family hugely, he has the money, he should open his check book and ink a minimum of NGN500million compensation sooner than later cry

Nigeria social media would buzz tomorrow. Those who got involved didn't handle the issue well.

VDM and the sister really messed up. A life was at stake and they were doing those shenanigans on social media accusing each other.

May her soul rest in Peace. One of the most serious complications of long bone fractures is pulmonary embolism. Moreover, considering the sanitary state of most Nigerian hospitals, we can't rule out overwhelming infection too.

Re: Phyna Sister, Ruth Otabor Dies After Dangote Truck Accident by helinues: 7:07pm On Aug 31, 2025
They could have raised funds without even waiting for Dangote as those ones process is a protocol.

They were chasing clout online exposing their secret chats while a life was at stake.

You can’t blame vdm at all, vdm was the one taking this issue seriously, even than the owner of the problem but that phyna wants to use the case to cash out. She was never serious about it.
That was the time she knew she wanted to repair her car, when vdm was calling her to meet with Dangote group, she was asking for car repair s number.

Why didn't they raise funds first instead of waiting for Dangote. At least VDM could have used his platform to do that

How much was they even expected from Dangote? Flying abroad plus the medical.
Re: Phyna Sister, Ruth Otabor Dies After Dangote Truck Accident by motymop:
She wanted 1b for treatment, what do you expect to happen.

Companies aren't meant for extortion.

The phyna woman is unstable, you can't trust someone like that.

The sister is a useless human being, Instead of being by her sister side , consoling her to heal her shattered heart due to the amputation, she was busy suing 1 billion.

So sad

Deeply sadden

This is Nigeria.

Apart from equipment, the doctors are overwhelmingly incompetent and on top of that they do not give a shit about their patients.

Visit public hospitals, observe and weep.

Even Evercare in Lekki, with the millions they charge is a piece of garbage.

I know what I am saying.

A lot of other things could have happened... Sepsis, internal bleeding, embolism, organ failure, etc.

We only heard about the amputation part because thats the most obvious one.
