Reckless driving and accidents can not be divorced.

Who remember this Public Service Announcement songs that goes like this. I need someone to finish it:

"The highway is not a race track.

Remember those people ........"

It was a very popular radio jingle back in the day advising people to drive carefully

But the rate people station heavy duty trucks on our highways is alarming , it’s dangerous to drive on our highways if you are not familiar with this menace, however over speeding and carelessness is one of the cause of this, because if you look at the impact level was too severe, I seriously doubt the suv brake was put into use at all because the impact was much

Jakumo:
The chartered helicopter could have taken the champ from his hotel in Lekki, Lagos, directly to Ibadan in less than 15 minutes flight time.

For all his brilliance, technique and power as a world-class boxer, Anthony Joshua's instinct for self-preservation was not attuned enough to prevent him from traveling aboard a flashy new SUV along one of the most kidnapper-infested highways on this green planet. When it is your time to die even your Helicopter will crash

A man worth tens of millions of dollars would have been the hostage catch of a lifetime for a terrorist Fulani kidnapping bandit gang of the sort that set up frequent blockades on that same Ibadan Expressway with regularity. until just a few months ago when security was beefed up in the area.

When it is your time to die even your Helicopter will crash

This is so sad. Rip to the fallen

no mind him cuz chopper no dey get accident

SadiqBabaSani:
AJ should have used a chopper, that Road is very dangerous

..not the road over speeding of the driver that caused the accident..no patient from the driver

Imagine, dieing on a trip to a foreign country in what is supposed to be a pleasure trip.

This incident is not good for Nigeria's image

It is a PR disaster for Nigeria and the leaders don't know. Millions will watch and see the madness called Nigerian roads..
Everything about the incident...
The bad roads. The dirty streets/roads. The disorderly road networks. The useless police cars. The lack of emergency outfits. No ambulances. Injured victims strewn on the floor like garbage..
Very distasteful

Hmm

I wonder why people are blaming the state of Nigerian roads on the mishap. The mishap was obviously self inflicted. Driving recklessly at unimaginable speeds to such an extent that you can't manoeuvre away from a trailer is completely reckless. Even in developed countries the risk of such accidents from reckless driving is high. The case of Diogo jota and Paul Walker comes to mind. Please people should be mindful not to get sentimental over this because he's a superstar driving in Nigeria. I'm not saying Nigerian roads are the best but let's at least try to be objective in assessing stuffs like this. If this had happened to an ordinary Nigerian, you guys would have reversed the accusations by accusing that Nigerian driver of reckless driving.

Lagos Ibadan xpress dangerous??that straight road ?

he said the bitter truth, our highways are death traps, if you ain't robbed by bandits you get killed by accident from reckless truck drivers that park indiscriminately along our highways, coupled with terrible road design. AJ should have just chattered a chopper instead he's a high profile individual so he should have been more careful with his life.

Okoroawusa:
What do you mean by " he has no strong reasons to do so"?

So accident no de happen 4 Yankee abi? Make una try de use una number 6 b4 una drop comment nw

festacman:
This is really sad. Anthony Joshua loves Nigeria even when he has no strong reasons to do so. Losing his close friends like this could make him stay from Nigeria. So, so sad.

Look how you think.
People driving wrecklessly and crashing into a parked truck.
What has that got to do with Nigeria?

If they drove the same way and crash a truck in the UK won't they die....

Instead of you lost to call a spade a spade you are blaming Nigeria for the stewpeedity of the driver who was wreckless

kpankpangolo:
They were Caucasian. Of course they weren’t Nigerian.

Do you know where the Caucasus is?

SadiqBabaSani:

Kobe Bryant died from a chopper accident in America
Some things are just strange in life
I remember Da Grin
People just have to be very careful on Nigerian highways
Some people call it deff trap roads

That’s sad!!

Upon the lenghty post.. I still couldn't find their nationalities.

Funny. An article whose subject is based on revealing that the deceased were foreign nationals couldn't add an extra line detailing their nationalities.

Omo!

Nothing is absolutely safe. Herbert Wigwe died in a chopper crash!

Detty December in a
Detty Country.

lwisee:

That lorry was not supposed to have been packed there... Someone is being paid to make sure those lorries.mever pack there..
Have you used that road before? Every time you pass through that road, you will see either lorries packed recklessly, or mangled cars lying along the road. For months, cars that has accidents are left there. Even at nights, lorries have to dodge all these wreckage and packed cars. If that lorry was not packed there, this accident wouldn't have happened.

How many people do you know that hire chopper to fly from Lagos to Shagamu?

How? You Nigerian guys and low self esteem ehn are like 5 and 6! If a Nigerian went to their country and drove recklessly, over speeding etc, and then dies in that self inflicted accident, would people say it's a bad pr for that country? No? They'd rather start insulting not just the Nigerian guy who died but they'd lump all Nigerians as reckless drivers. They'd rather inflict the bad pr on the Nigerian driver who came to their country and drove recklessly and died, citing that all Nigerians are known to be law breakers. Please let us accord our country some self respect. Nigerian roads might not be the best in the world but the cause of this tragedy was obviously reckless driving!

Instead of you to talk sense into the government head, you're giving richman solution. If AJ can afford the chopper, can you or the average Nigerian afford it?

Exactly my thoughts.......it's reckless driving and nothing more.....we all agree that road is very dangerous especially the Lagos to ogere end but the way this protocol guys drive recklessly endangering themselves and other road users......they always think they are invisible to death......ogun state govt needs to do something about indiscriminate parking and wilfull obstruction on that road,so much road indiscipline in that axis encouraged by the very govt officials who should be ensuring proper traffic rules......this is one of the results of dapo's maladministration

Why is there no news about the driver who drove dat jeep, i believe neither the 2 foreign national nor AJ drove dat jeep

If that lorry was not packed there, this accident wouldn't have happened.

Even if the lorry was wrongly parked there, that still doesn't take away the fact that it was completely reckless driving. Even in civilized countries, vehicles breakdown on the road and the timing it takes to be towed differs.

The ambulance situation is so embarrassing. They had to move an injured person, without medical personnel, into a fucking SUV!!
