before opening the thread, i knew its was GiG.. Wonder why they don't put thier drivers on a shift.. They just assign a bus to one driver and make him work from around the clock not minding the fact that most of them get to thier destination around 11pm and yet still have to drive human beings as early as 5am the next day.. #No value for human life at all..Just because of cutting cost in between employing more drivers. 2 Likes |

FYI, God is good motors is just a very good brand name, same cannot be said of their services, from very old buses to sleepy drivers, they charge a premium for services other transporters charge a token for. Take for example: Effurun to Lagos, companies like agofure, charge 2500-2800( depends on the fuel situation), and use buses in pristine condition, so that customers will enjoy the journey, GIG charges you #3,500, and you get old buses, worn out drivers and faulty air condition unit, GIG charges you more for "executive" buses (same buses agofure uses @ 2500-2800)... 1 Like |

Okijajuju1:You are right to say little loss is suffered by the company but don't forget it stains their safety records and reputation. The major losers are the passengers despite the insurance cover on them. The amount to be paid out will never be enough to adequately compensate the families. There is a chance that what those individuals will make (when actively alive) will surpass what the insurance company will ever pay out to them, not to talk about the pain family members of the deceased will feel as a result of a family member's loss caused by the company's carelessness. Death means the end of dreams, hopes and aspirations. Money can never compensate for a life cut short in its prime. I say all this because in this case, more could be done by the company. I'm a transporter myself therefore I implore all Businessmen to put measures in place to avoid accidents and most especially loss of lives. That is more important than all the profit in the world. |

Okijajuju1:So if a driver sleeps behind the wheel and has an accident, insurance would cover that? |

Pennsylvania: If u reason this way, u can never successfully administer any group or organisation.. If drivers sleeps while driving, the first thing u need to tackle is the Root cause nd not sacking them else you ground the business.. LEARN!!! Young man.... |

Pennsylvania:That's not true. That was then, not now. Surely, the driver will be fired. |
Re: Car Crashes As Driver Sleeps Off While Driving On Highway (Photos) by Nobody: 11:59am On Apr 21, 2016 |
Leeeekeeee:In a simple sentence, you are unprofessional. You sack the driver first before the actual cause of the problem and make amend. |

DeeTus: U re a [dummy] Cheque, if sacking is the professional way to curtail hazards.. I see u know nothing about Safety, else u know that workers re advised to report any accident/incident/near miss inorder to properly investigate nd avert future occurrence nd not sack.. |

Leeeekeeee:With your kind of mentality, it's hard for you to move forward in life. "Mediocrity" should not be ignored for work. The driver of the vehicle should be fired out rightly for playing with human lives. |
Re: Car Crashes As Driver Sleeps Off While Driving On Highway (Photos) by Leeeekeeee: 12:30pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
DeeTus: U have a fast moving mentality yet life is dealing with you, common dude.. Only stewpid companies in Nigeria with ur Likes will sack a worker without investigating.. A driver u used the previous night nd u re sacking him because he slept on wheel instead of sacking his direct boss who knew his schedule nd still assigned him a job the next morning.. Guy, u need a long way to go mentally.. |

I love God is good transport company but they should go easy on their drivers, I'm so sure its not the drivers fault. Thank God no life was lost. |
