19! Is it plane crash? Lord have mercy . This should be treated as a murder case against that Dangote drive because way he won't see the bus coming due the the height of the truck. This is terrible to say the least.

May their soul rest in peace

Until owners or companies are heavily fined and sanctioned for the negligence and unprofessional attitude of their truck drivers,accidents like these will continue unabated!

The safety agencies should not just mouth about safety,they should enforce it!

The national assembly should give more enforcement powers to safety agencies to arrest defaulters to serve as deterrent to others!

Most Nigerians obey safety laws when the enforcement officers are alive to their responsibilities no matter the status of the personality involved!

There’s a difference between drivable roads and safe roads. Most roads in Nigeria are not safe. Either too Narrow, or sharp bends, and many other things

No good roads
No safe roads
No emergency response and care
No respect for the dead
And No body bags!
Na Everytime you go deh blame govt? Se na govt cause this now or not following traffic rules?

This is one of the many reasons I will be leaving this country for all of you. Unrepentant violation of road rules, ignorantly going against traffic, foolish overtaking when you shouldn't overtake, over speeding; I feel our lives are not safe here. Aside battling with gun men, kidnappers, thieves and the rest, road users don't still want to learn and heed to the rules of driving in the high-ways.

Triple U on Facebook carried out an experiment where he stood on a zebra crossing here in Nigeria, just to see if any incoming car will stop for him to cross, could you believe non stopped? That's to tell you how terrible this country has become.

At the end, only one guy who just came back from abroad to Nigeria who was driving managed to stop for him to cross. The rest road users were on high speed even when they saw that someone was standing on the zebra crossing.

He carried out the same experiment in diaspora, if you see how all the cars stopped, you will think he was a president crossing the road. They all stopped for him to cross. After crossing before they all drove off.

These and so many other things are some of the things I have always told ariesbull that I don't feel comfortable with in this country.

You can see we Nigerians no longer value human lives. People live like animals in Nigeria, trust me. What will make a truck to be overtaking another car in a route he is supposed not to overtake others?

This is to tell you that, our lives are not safe even on the road. Loads of the accidents that occur on a daily basis in Nigeria, are accidents that can be prevented if everybody drives safely and heed to the rules of the roads.

If next election meet me in this country, let me know what causes it.

Pocohantas and Ishilove shall bear me witness on this that truly, this country is gone and irredeemable with the way we live as humans.

FRSC is so dumb. the only they know is seat belt. the road is a dualised road. how was there overtaking that resulted in a head on collision on a dualised road?
Don't mind them. The truck was driving in a one-way this colliding with the bus that was on its rightful lane. This one pain me cos it's an avoidable accident

Reckless driving caused. The government is not responsible for this one.

Many Nigerians are mad. Many vehicles have phone numbers printed on their bodies to be called to report driver's misconducts. I am not sure Dangote trailers have such numbers printed on them.

Do we have good roads ?

It costs you nothing to read the report properly, instead of rushing to comment. Because it was stated clearly "one way driving and wrongful overtaking" caused the accident

so if I didnt read the report properly as you claim, how then did I know that the FRSC laid emphasis on seat belt as being the reason for the lives that were saved and those that were lost?

pls read this. am sure you missed it: "“Unfortunately, 19 people out of the 22 victims were killed and one injured. The remaining two victims who got rescued by FRSC operatives without injuries survived the crash because they complied with traffic regulations on compulsory use of seatbelt."

what do you mean by "wrongful overtaking"? "wrongful overtaking" where?

am sure it would have cost you nothing to read my comment again instead of rushing to comment because I clearly stated "FRSC is so dumb. the only they know is seat belt. the road is a dualised road. how was there overtaking that resulted in a head on collision on a dualised road?"

The kind speed all this hummer bus Dey run eh! Was on sienna one time at night and our driver was on high speed, looking outside it’ll look as if everything was on slow motion play due to how our driver was matching pedal, all of a sudden this bus overtook us as if we’re not even moving fast enough and with full passengers oh, before I could look twice we were far behind.

Imagine an accident with such level of speed, na 100%kills
