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.

I'm glad your brain ain't affected and please try to build up the physical aspect back because I'm nursing a longtime plan with you..

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?

i blame the person in the bus,they are the ones that would have stop the driver from taking the route.
dem dey form jagaban for fuel..

forghon:
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

You heard they were scooping fuel..is that a verified information or you are assuming

Life is very cheap in Nigeria while living is expensive.

Why can't you ask for a fact before coming here to show your low level sense of reasoning

Onyi90:
I don't understand ur statement. Learn from what exactly

That scooping fuel from a fallen Tanker is one of the quickest ways to meet your Maker..

The Tanker obviously fell and Nigerians being as STVPID as they can be,went to scoop free fuel..

emeijeh:
I won't be surprised they were scooping fuel.


These ones didn't learn any lessons from Jese '98

Yea.... You're right.
They were scooping fuel.
What a bad and painful way to die

Onyi90:

Learn from scooping fuel in accident scenes

The Tanker obviously fell on a lonely stretch of road and it does not need a Genius IQ to deduct what happened..

Nawao...this small Benue

CRUDE OIL is a shame for Nigeria

FAMILYJA:
Start now.

Easy

I don't think you have any idea of the stretch of the road in question. I am very familiar with the axis and I can authoritatively tell you, you are wrong. The account I put up there is an eye witness account, and it tallies with the pictures as you can see the burnt bus that was trying to manage the space. So stop assuming, and putting wrong information out there.

Over FIFTY people killed and you want to pass it off to a burnt bus?

On a road with no obvious dense human habitation?

It's OK..

whether verified or assumption they are dead so I think mourning is the best thing for not dragging

Probably wat went tru their minds was, if i scoop just 10ltrs i don go.

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

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

my brother u saw that? They can even be infected while in a hospital. Just look at what hospital means in Nigeria.am not even sure a registered nurse or doctor will be there to attend to such degrees of burns. God help them.

9 out of every 10 deaths are caused by human errors and carelessness.

R.I.P to the dead.

That's y it's gud to speak up, if a driver is over speeding caution him, u paid ur moni, if u enta bike, he's riding like a mad man, slap his head from the back.. We need to do this more often.

Get rich or die trying

That's very Bad.

Oga, the Aliade- Makurdi road is well populated no 50meters without a settlement and I can assure you that over 20 people must have died in that small bus considering the overloading they do. so don't conclude is scooping. Nigerians have a very poor culture of gathering at a scene of accidents in their numbers, doing exactly what I don't know. such people are often victims if things go south at the scenes

klever18:
if u see my reaction after seeing the state of the hospital.


no hope for Nigerian

At least there was even bed... I won't be surprised if some people are not on a mat in the next room

When you are not at the place where you want to be, don’t keep trying.

Tanker overturns

Villagers rush out with containers to scoop petroleum products

Ignition occurs, conflagration!

Scoopers are consumed in the flames

Fact: they are thieves who tried to steal and paid the price immediately
