We have failed as a people and as a nation. We treat very important things with levity. It is why our people perish everyday. We cry to God all days but won't take basic necessary measure and yet we expect God to help us. Many of the tankers plying our roads are not road Worthy. Yet road safety guys often leave those ones to pursue fit cars from where they can extort money. Nigeria case is sad and pathetic.

May the souls of all who died rest in peace. I am in tears as I think about the manner in which some families have been turn into sorrowful mood tonight. May God console them.

This is not ordinary. The blood of innocent Nigerians being killed for different reasons will surely cry out to their maker.

This could be of one of the consequences.

Nigeria is truly a sick country indeed, allowing dead truck to ply the roads everyday. I wonder which is more easier to do, clearing dead bodies and debris after each accident or applying strict worthiness for trucks and it likes! Here in Canada I work in a trucking company and I know how much effort it takes to put a truck on the road. After each trip, the tires are changed and the trucks are overhauled for the next trip and every year we take the truck for certification and road worthiness and with these measure, you hardly hear of truck accident even under icy conditions. Then to get a class 1 license here is like passing the medical school exam. I personally know people who have failed the test more than 10 times, not because they are bad drivers but the rules are the rules and you cannot cut corners; But in my country every Tom, Dick and Harry can hop into a truck and start driving. Nigeria have a long way o jare.

You hit the nail on the head. Accidents do happen but they can be reduced to the minimum if we are serious. Imagine no driving tests for truck drivers, no drug tests and no protection against sleep deprivation due to long hours of driving. In advanced countries like the U. S, the trucking company could go bankrupt from insurance claims and law suits.

Nigeria is a nation where bad events recycle itself.

A Very similar event like this happened in 2009 or 2010 and so many lives were lost.
The same oil tanker caused the inferno .

Question is, whats the govt done in the way of foresight to forestall future occurrences?

None.

Typical Foolish 9ja spotted. We never seem to accept responsibilities for our actions. What's the month got to do with pple being careless?

Just imagine pple already agreeing with him. WTF? For real? For how long are we gonna be this dumb and gullible? angry

Even let July, August, September etc.. come.. as long as pple are gullible and ignorant, disaster beckons.
Change ur attitudes towards life and things would drastically change for the better.

Does Nigeria have life insurance? Because they need it seems death is always around the corner

Bro I don't know your country but I don't blame you for this ignorant question. With what you read online you should feel we are monkeys living on trees. We don't even have insurance companies, banks, schools, hospitals, police etc we live in forest, we don't even have cars or mobile phones, we don't have internet and computers Ewu
