Avoidable deaths. Families would be made to grieve needlessly.

When laws ought to be passed for containers to be latched or fined 500k and if fined five times forfeit the truck.

This is the litmus test for the new governance in Lagos. Its time for smart decisions and smart laws been passed smartly. No more excuses
All this is coursed by greed, obasanjo refused to allow container enter through any other state except Lagos..

Nigeria need to decentralized Cago coming into the country to come in through 4 or 5 states, that would have released Lagos of this mad container traffic but no Yoruba and gree, and the hatred for the Igbo to succeed is something else.

All containers must be latched and should be subjected to tests once every six months to push out unfit haulage trucks off the road.


If we see an unfit truck on the road, its purely a gasket, gaskia. No need to wait for accidents. Get unfit trucks off the road

Please push this doctrine so the authorities can see it and do the needful abeg.

How long can this continue.

Such a sad and terrible state of affairs...

The Federal and state government need to look in to this constant container falling issues..

Why can't this containers be welded permanently to the trucks and the goods inside are loaded and unloaded through the rear door, how is this so complicated to be carried out when it is not rocket science.

For those calling Sanwo olu
Please note that this is a federal road

Buhari has nothing to offer except propaganda and traveling..

A man who is so empty inside out
He had to name the National Stadium built by OBJ after MKO because he hasn't built a block... Only trading blames..




Buhari is evil personified
Death everywhere... Kidnapping everywhere
Fulani herdsmen everywhere.. Boko Haram everywhere... Isis has joined the party
Nigeria is doomed

Nodogragra4me:
Containers are not just dumped on flatbeds. You might not see chains around but it is latched... That is the reason you find some square grooves and openings around the base of containers...those are the point of attachment to trucks


Bad road that makes trucks wobble from side to side is the cause of most of the incidents of containers falling off trucks...once they start wobbling, the turntable is affected and before you know it, it forcefully yank off the bed from the tractor

. Avoidable deaths everywhere everyday, yet no solution in sight, may the souls of the departed RIP

booblacain:
It is bad roads that cause trucks to tilt and fall.

essenceplus:
There are pallatives that can be employed to avoid such occurrences. We have Lastma on the road, the state govt should order Lastma with power to control and inspect these guys. U latched trucks should be arrested. Trucks without brakes banned from the roads, trucks beyond certain number of years banned. Emergency road repairs permanently in routes where containers pass often.

Clueless government

Ignorant people

I know all these trust me 80% of containers on the roads aren't latched I've been monitoring containers for over 6 months now. If there are well latched, it won't fall the way it did in this case, the orderly fall I. Plies it wasn't latched at all

People are just there minding their bizness n taking photo..they didnt evn atlis try to push d container..naija too slow.this is why i love d yankee.

Dredgemaster:
. This is just one out of a million problems we battle with everyday, no light, no water, no jobs, insecurity everywhere, no accommodation, poor roads, poor education system that's still getting poorer by the day, cultism in our schools and even on the streets, its difficult to pay 30,000 minimum wage but easy to allocate over 19 billion to some few individuals to buy furniture, where do we start from?

Reference:
It goes beyond latching. The problem starts with the way the containers are loaded and the failure to stabilize the contents and secure them properly inside the containers. This mainly occurs after inspection when agents do a rush job in trying to beat demmurage. Pressure will always cause corner cutting.

planetx:
Don't think they are falling because of bad roads but because they are not properly secured. Nigeria is basically putting containers on the back of flat bed trucks when in advanced nations the trailer is bought with an enclosed container that cannot be removed cause it's permanently attached to the frame.

Dearpart1000:
Every week In this country if Boko Haram doesn’t kill, bandits will, if bandits doesn’t then herdsmen will, if herdsmen doesn’t container will fall on people, if that doesn’t happen tanker will explode, and if that doesn’t happen police will kill and it will be accidental discharge and if none of this happens, then someone will commit suicide or Kidnappers will adopt someone. But in all this we still have a government, both federal and states still claiming to be on top of affairs. For as long as none of this happens to them or their families, then to hell with everything.
We are our own biggest enemy. If you care make all the money in the world, one thing remains for sure, you are a Nigerian and the image of this country will go with you wherever you go. A poor citizen of a rich nation will always be respected and treated better than you with all your stupid senseless money.
