Anambra Residents Force BUA To Compensate Victim Before Transloading Goods by jmoore(op): 7:08am On Apr 27

Yesterday after we went to Oba police station with two agents from BUA cement over the accident and how to compensate the victim of Thursday's ghastly accident that our brother miraculously escaped without a scratch

Recall that the only reason BUA cement sent a representative was because we resisted their attempt to transload the truck

When we got to the Oba police state , we had a round table discussion , at least we thought that we did

We made an offer for BUA to replace that damaged Camry and Carter for other minor expenses done after the accident and let us beat the loss of goods (industrial materials) destroyed inside the car

They insisted that we convert our demand to cash which I insisted that they should replace the car plus little expenses

They said that we should give them a figure that will cover the car for us , that it will be easier for them to send money than to buy a car

We gave them a figure and they priced it down

We refused what they offered because it was unrealistic but they said that they are not empowered to go above what they offered , that they will reach out to their GM

We agreed that they will give us a feedback call today Saturday or latest Monday next week

We agreed and left the venue for them to discuss how to protect the content of the truck with the vigilante group that we employed the previous day

To our greatest surprise, these people started transloading the truck after we agreed with them that the transload can wait until we agreement

Recall that ,during the negotiation , we even offered them to transload the truck and bring the goods to Oba police station for safety which they refused citing double expenses

These people , together with the very vigilante group that we employed and handed over to them for the safety of the truck and it's content , started transloading the truck without our knowledge against the agreement we reached just an hour earlier

We stormed there for the second time to stop the transload and this time , with the help of keke people , including ndi Electrical market Obosi ,people passing by

It got so bad that over 100 people later occupied that place that forced the people to make an emergency transfer of the initial amount they offered that we refused

We stayed there till after 7 pm before they could do the transfer and we left the place for them to successfully transload the truck if not

They will abandon the victim of this ugly unfortunate accident and go

If this is how these big companies operate in Nigeria then we have a very big problem in this country

How can you not want to sympathize and compensate the victim of your company accident even though it was not intentional

They claimed that it was the vigilante price that forced them to transload yet they are doing the transload with the protection of the same vigilante

The same vigilante that we hired to protect the truck and our interest in the entire process

How everything changed against us quickly needs to be studied

We igbos are quick to betray our brothers over chicken change but we thank God for people yesterday

Keke people were awesome that yesterday , including ndi Electrical market Obosi

Some people even bought fuel yesterday , I have not seen anything like what happened yesterday

At the end , our brother got something even though it was not what he deserved , but he got something together with his life

Yesterday was another thing for me , we only ate two iruka bread throughout the entire process

But to God be the glory

Way to go.

It's very wrong for these big companies trucks to wreak damage and get away with it leaving the victims to lick their wounds by themselves.

You’d have gotten more if you’d followed the right procedures - sought legal advice/aid. On the spot settlement is a quick way out but you may be shortchanging yourself. Who knows? Maybe you even got the best deal, na Nigeria we dey

Actually it's the insurance that is supposed to cover the Camry.
I believe companies should have comprehensive insurance.
They should have explain to you that the cost of Camry will be covered by insurance.
Insurance companies don't play around with big companies like BUA.

BUT, not withstanding the company is supposed have contacted the victim before all these drama started.
I believe if they had reached out, you guys won't have needed to take the action you took.

That said, the company is still supposed to some kinda or palliative for the victim, even if the insurance takes care of the car.

Personally I feel the Logistics manager will have a lot of questions to answer as to why the insurance didn't cover the cost. But that one no concern una again. Na him sabi wetin him to talk.

Even small me, all my motor, both personal and company get comprehensive.

Which insurance ? Third party insurance will cover wetin

And to add to this excellent post, it is illegal in Nigeria or indeed globally to drive a car without insurance. VIO and FRSC won't forgive you if your car insurance papers are not intact

: what really happened was an unfortunate incident it not even if the accident was intentional or not. How BUA handled it was totally wrong, when you kill everyone who is suppose to be your customers how do stay in business. It was a good thing you guys engaged in negotiations and even suggesting practical solution.

What is all this.

That is the reason for insurance.
Why are we so disorganised, so lawless in this country. We fight for the wrong things. Fight for a working, functional, equitable society of law, order and justice and relax.

See insurance adverts in SA. Companies falling over themselves to offer all manner of incentives, some including a complimentary vehicle while you wait for the claims to be resolved.

Don't we desire to see ease and function in our country.

Well that is the result of not having state or in this case local government police. What is vigilante. Get institutions that swear to uphold the law in place. The vigilante owes you nothing. They are commercial workers and will work for a fee.

If insurance worked properly in this country that company will have the goods, the truck and the mission insured and even if you forget to dial for police intervention or feel as an individual you will not receive help, your insurance company will alert the police as soon as you inform them of the accident.

We have a long way to modernizing our society. We suffer too many things because we cannot bring ourselves to organise ourselves. Compensations are not things to be negotiated in police stations, but by competent, professional representatives under the umbrella of the courts.
