SAD SAD SAD.
TEARS IN MY EYES..

@, Our prayers are with everyone affected by this sad incident.

Going out and coming back home safely is really underrated.
May we and our family never be victims of road casualties.



OAN:
How can you watch those horrific videos and pictures and end up with statements like ‘Thank God I was not involved’, ‘God kept me’, ‘God saved me’.
What about all the other people that were involved?
Did God love them less?
Empathy is the gate to humanity please.
Stop all these 'christianese' languages.

Good move. Show your sympathy by action. I just can't imagine what kind of final moments the victims had before giving up. Oh! Jehovah save us please.

Maybe Lagos should enact safety laws that regulates the activities of tankers and articulated trucks in her metropolis?

Or do we have those laws already?

This is part of reason Lagos has been fighting with FG trying to get all roads in the state under its jurisdiction. FG is careless about these roads and they end becoming death traps.

Tankers fall on our roads every month, majority do not get reported because of low casualty. Containers fall every week. Trailers fail break everyday.

How many we go talk?

Good bless the government of Lagos state, and the workers who are still working on the road till this morning. The asphalt has been brought already to start fixing the road.
Assuming it happened in a few meters from there falling into ogun state. The traffic management would have been worse, the government of ogun state hardly care about happens on the road that falls in their state.

Sometimes I don't understand how you guys reason that is why I'm checking out of this country soon. Why called him hypocrite when what he said is totally correct? How can you give directives, someone violates it at will and you don't take punitive measures against the person? The people in this country are something else for always ing ineptitude. It's pathetic

He needs to start reducing these accidents as there are simply too many of them.

They need to revise the legislation that governs heavy trucks on motorway.

As usual no action to forestall occureence. Zoogeria
sexiestharam(f): 8:10am On Jun 29, 2018
Is it prayers that are needed now? Or precautionary measures should be ensured to avoid a re-occurrence. Most of the accidents in this country are caused by trailers and trucks. Can't their movement be restricted to night only? Would prayers fix our roads or give us common sense. This is ridiculous!!!

Put the law in place and stand by it.
Tankers and big trucks have no business plying the road during the day.

the employee of the driver should pay dearly.....why was he allowed to transport petrol during the day? ..why did he move the truck without proper check up?

he stole a truck without checking the condition of the brake...really appalling

At least there is a leader who doesn't assess situation for a day or more before visiting sites of incidents





Good one.



But if erring truck drivers are facing punishment, this nonsense could have been averted.

Lord, please be merciful and comfort the families and love ones of those who lost their lives.

Give NIgerians and our leaders a new heart, one with value for human lives. cry cry

Fight those who oppose true progress and transformation. Expose corrupt lying politicians.

Deal with all those who toy with the destiny of Nigeria for their selfish purposes. angry

Grant us the Nigeria of our dreams.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Big trucks are supposed to have their own lanes or only allowed to move at night. Developed countries have that. How can I be in a traffic jam alongside a tanker filled with petrol? The sight alone makes me uncomfortable
