I can't say. Anthony and friends were not in a chopper

Redoil:
the vehicle were promptly rescued by security personnel attached to his convoy and taken to a hospital, where they are currently receiving medical attention. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

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

Lithiumite:
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

DixseenMktPlace:
And in the whole statement, they still didn’t mention where those guys are from and you use the headline as the topic, how much Nairaland dey pay you?

malali:
Tinubu, this is exactly why Yahya Bello, Abubakar Malami, and Farouk Ahmed must be prosecuted, publicly, relentlessly, and without backroom deals.

The money these three men siphoned from Nigeria could have built a national emergency response system. Not slogans. Not committees. Real ambulances on every major highway Nigerians travel every single day. Trained paramedics. Dispatch centers. A system where accidents don’t automatically become death sentences.

Anthony Joshua could have died.
His friends were declared “dead” on the roadside, not by doctors, not by paramedics, but by bystanders with no medical training. Those men could have been in deep comas. In functional countries, nobody is pronounced dead on asphalt by guesswork.

And yet you, Tinubu, and Akpabio keep flying abroad for healthcare, enjoying systems built by other people’s taxes, while Nigerians bleed out on highways at home. That is not governance; that is abandonment.

Healthcare and emergency response in Nigeria are no longer “policy issues.” They are national emergencies. Every stolen naira has a body count attached to it. Every protected thief is another mass grave waiting to happen.

Prosecute them, not for politics, not for optics, but because Nigerians are dying in silence while the powerful shop for hospitals overseas.

History will not be kind to leaders who chose comfort over lives.

You could have stated your point without reporting to abuse him/her like this. He/She didn't say anything to you to warrant this kind of abuse? I know say Naija hot everywhere, but please take it easy 😎

drstranged:
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.

koyeni:
You probably dint see the pictures or videos. It's a bad sight to behold. One, had his head completely crushed

3kay945:
You have written well but this your conclusion get as e be.
Which history from the stewpeedit followers ?

Eriokanmi:
In the,west, those guys would not die. Everybody has the knowledge of a CPR. Nigeria is a joke, riddled with sycophants

sweerychick:
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.

drstranged:
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!

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.

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.

Shedrack777:
I know some people will say Anthony Joshua use them for sacrifice to become a world champion again

steveodo:
AJ has got his own share of Nigeria shame, Nigeria has happened to him

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.
