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.
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.

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.

Right now, the richest man in Africa has just ended someone’s life and he’s being doing it for years

And yes we will call him out because it’s ironic and a thing of shame that someone that’s meant to be a thing of blessing to Nigeria is the one causing so much pain to them

Sheuns:
I saw the clip of the accident in this picture. The driver should be sent to death. It was a Punjabi immigrant.

He made a U turn at a point where there clearly is a No UTurn sign. The vehicle coming behind him drove straight into the truck’s trailer.

The crazy part is the guy was unmoved. Those truck drivers are heartless.

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

Kalulu44:
I don't care about the rest things you said but where I am concern is: why do you guys think it's only Dangote trailers that causes accident and kill people on a daily.
They're many non Dangote trailers causing havoc too. Even our president Tinubu's new trailer venture TSL do cause accident. But bcus Dangote's own is more popular and pronounce, you guys will always harp on it to discredit the man.
And more over the man himself doesn't know most of his employees and drivers except the top managers and supervisors.
And he may not even know they're short changing the workers sef.
So this our always blaming the man is unnecessary. I'm not one of his workers, I am not from North, I haven't benefitted anything from him, but let's say the truth for once.

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

malali:
When I say Dangote, it’s not personal. The point is separating the individual from the corporate brand when disasters strike, yet his name alone makes the billionaire lists, this feels like dodging accountability. His fleet of trucks has a notorious record for reckless and deadly accidents, some vehicles barely roadworthy. Claiming “he’s not the only one” doesn’t excuse a crime, just because others misbehave doesn’t make it right. Even with layers of managers and supervisors, the ultimate responsibility rests with him. Think of Tinubu with all his ministers and governors; we still hold him accountable for Nigeria’s failures. The government must craft strict, decisive policies to shield citizens from this chaos. It’s only going to worsen, especially with these same trucks now carrying refined petroleum nationwide. I pray no one’s car is hit and set ablaze, but before that tragedy, we must raise our voices to demand the sanctification and strict oversight of the entire trucking sector.

She could have been transferred to a better hospital within Nigeria, but instead, she was left to die. No one could realistically survive multiple long‑bone fractures in that facility. She should have been moved to a tertiary hospital in Nigeria, or at least had access to teleconsultations with foreign specialists. She was given no fighting chance. She was abandoned to die.

SarkinYarki:
Dangote failed to airlift the girl out

malali:

They said the guy couldn't read the road sign. But, the government quickly placed a ban on all foreign truck drivers within 48 hours. Thats a government that cares about every single citizen.

Sheuns:
The ban is necessary. That shows how crazy they drive in India.

Indian drivers and Nigerian drivers are from the same school of thought.

Kalulu44:
Good we are calling out Dangote and his trucks out. So will other trucks and especially tanker drivers and their owners be exempted from the calling out?

TONYE001:
1. Whether other trucks are involved in accidents or not is not important currently. The question is, which truck hit this young girl? Dangote's. Was she given good treatment? No. Is she dead now? Yes. Who killed her? Go figure.

2. Heads of organizations take direct responsibility when events like this occur. It's why presidents, CEOs, etc resign when something happen....whether they are directly involved or not. Dangote is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in his company. If he gets the praises when something good pops, why shouldn't he take the blame when bad things like this happen This is global standard. The girl is now dead, and Dangote and his company are responsible for her death!!!

3. What stopped him, considering all the resources he has within his reach, from giving that girl the urgent attention she required? Why did they allegedly abandon that other girl in the hospital as we saw in the reports? This man, as it appears, does not care. If this girl were his family member, do you think things would have happened the way they did? If this were in a Western society, do you think people will not be held responsible for this girl's death?

We shouldn't be in the habit of defending things like this. Bad things happen to people, let's not only speak out when it comes close to home. Dangote and his team have not done well in this case, nor have they done well in other RTA cases.

malali:
Dangote must step up. With billions comes immense responsibility. He earns the most revenue from trucking in Nigeria, and when action is required, he cannot hide behind managers or other owners. This is a moment to demonstrate true corporate responsibility, not deflect, excuse, or gaslight the public by pointing fingers elsewhere.

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.

TheBlueDiamond:
This isn't really true.

Based on what was made known from credible source, plans had been set in motion, for her to be airlifted to India for advanced treatment.

What caused the delay, was the pending clearance state, from the Doctors that attended to her.
