Gruesome!

May their souls rest in peace.
Condolences to the bereaved.

May their souls rest in peace. Amen



Dangote trailer again.

OMG!

Rest in peace.

Why is it always dangote trucks? A sane government would have banned his trucks or would have held him accountable for the lives that have been lost. If this dead folks were Buhari children, actions would have been taken

You see this life ehn, anything you do just ask God for long life. Then you'll have the opportunity to carry out what you've in mind and also set plans for the future. Oliver de coque even said it in his song.

These ones had a plan for their lives but it's now too late but I think dangote has some questions to answer about the killings done by his truck drivers honestly.

Rip to the dead

Too excruciating!
RIP to the dead

God help us in this country

Death is a debt we all owe, sooner or latter we all pay but when? Is what we dont know......

Is our prayer not to die prematurely.

Rest in peace.

and Road safety will see the truck is not road worthy but they will turn the blind eye...

Nigeria keeps happening to my country beings. Most of these incidents are avoidable, but when theres no accountability, it becomes a norm. I can't wait to escape to a saner and organised climes before Nigeria knock me out. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. I thank God for the gift of life today.

Dangote most likely

This hausa fulani nonsense must stop

If any company kills this much people in America it would have been shut down by now or gone bankrupt from legal settlements

Rip to the dead

Sorry

RIP... So sad

Soooo Sad. God have mercy
