This is terrible. Nigerians can never learn

Damn

I heard they were scooping fuel, Nigerians like free things instead to sympathize with people in the tanker now people will sympathize with their family

Nigerians will never learn

Deal gone bad

I don't understand ur statement. Learn from what exactly

So the petrol tanker was just driving on it's own and all of a sudden it exploded Hope RUGA has nothing to do with this.

May God heal our land and have mercy on it's inhabitants. The bad news keeps increasing.

Oh God, why?..Whats a tanker doing in a place with so much people around and had to explode in their midst after plying all the bushy paths of Benue, it decided to exploded in the midst of over 50 people, why God, why?? ...

Nigeria!!
From one bad news to another- na swear?

Look at hospital beds- patients lying down on beds without bed-spreads

MERCY LORD

When will Nigeria become a developed, learned and civilized nation? So of all our past experiences, we haven't still learnt as a country? Is it not surprising that tankers are still falling today and people are still rushing down to scoop fuel neglecting the danger? One should expect we have grown pass this level.

Well, seemed I forgot poverty rate is still at a very alarming rate in the country which has affected even me physically but certainly not with my brain.

About the Aliade-Makurdi accident:
A fuel tanker belonging to Total company was coming from Aliade axis and had a fall around Ahumbe settlement area on Aliade-Makurdi road.
The tanker fell across the road, covering almost the entire breadth of the road, with only a little space left on the right side of the road.
The tanker DID NOT catch fire however fuel had already started to leak out.
Both the driver and conductor of the tanker were still around the vehicle.
The villagers DID NOT attempt to take fuel from the tanker.
A Toyota bus was coming behind from Aliade axis.
The villagers signalled the bus driver to slow down. They told him that oil had leaked and poured on the road so he should NOT use the tiny space left on the right hand side of the road but instead follow through one of the houses to the other side of the accident and continue with his journey.
The bus driver said he could manage and pass through that space without problem so he went ahead but when he got to the place where the oil had spilled, the hot exhaust of the bus touched the oil and the bus exploded into flames killing every PASSENGER onboard.
The villagers tried to put out the fire and while they were doing this, another explosion from the tanker injured and killed some of them.
I feel so sad right now... so very sad.
The Questions and lessons:
1. Could these deaths have been prevented if the bus driver had listened?
2. Could the passengers in the bus have been saved if they were reasonable and courageous enough to come out of the bus and allow the strong headed driver to drive through that dangerous spot alone?
3. Could the villagers lives have been saved if they weren't trying to rescue fellow human beings (strangers) in danger?
4. Will the relatives of these passengers ever know what happened to their loved ones if they fail to arrive their destinations?
