Okija_juju: [b]WARNING TO ALL TRAVELLERS THIS YULETIDE SEASON

There is no such thing as Enber month spirit.. The truth is that Passengers need to live up to their responsibilities to the drivers. This period, there is a lot of traffic and drivers try to make more trips than they would normally do. So what you see is they speed on the roads to shorten the trip time and then they push themselves by making extra trips to make extra money. So where a driver would do two trips in a day, he tries to do 4.. What you end up having is a tired driver that is speeding and making dangerous manuvers on the road. HERE IS MY ADVICE:

1. Please make sure that whoever sits in front with the driver does not sleep. Its this persons duty to monitor the drivers speedometer and also check that the driver isnt sleeping.. I was once in a cab from Port-Harcourt to Calabar where the driver was actually sleeping on the wheels. What I did was tap him to pullover using the excuse that I needed to pee.. We came down and I immediately told the driver that he should take a walk. We rested for 30minutes by the road vefore we began the journey again. Some passengers werent happy, but who cares..


2. Please stay sharp and caution the driver when he starts to speed, make dangerous manuvers, overtaking at bends and starts taking unnecessary risks.. You reserve the exclusive right to scream down the bus. You may look mad, but you will be that Mad person that arrives his/her destination alive and not in a body bag.


3. Avoid travelling by night.. Chances are, your driver has been driving all day and is most likely tired. Coupled with the bad roads and the criminal activities that tend to spike during this season, travelling at night is like playimng russian roullete with your life.

4. Try and speak to your driver prior to the trip to check if he has been sipping some shepe. Should you percieve alcohol on his breath, please do not enter that vehicle. Many drivers take local gins that they say keeps them awake. Please do not enter these buses.

5. USE only trusted Transport companies like ABC Transport, EDO line and the likes that have a safety standard record thats clear for all to see.

6. Do not be in a hurry..... [/b]

pDude: Only in Nigeria.

After some pple will tell me that Nigeria is better than Yankee.

What are those people still doing lying in their own blood? So they have been left there without help sotay pple have taken time to position their cameras phones to snap pix of the bodies. Where are the emergency services who should have swooped in to at least save those they could?

God will punish anybody who dares open any thread to tell me Nigeria is better than US.

AMEN.
Most commercial vehicles in Nigeria are not road worthy,some wont pass "CRASH"test & besides roads are bad as well.May God console all the family involved

RIP

How much worse can a country be dan this.Much as some wudnt want to admit it probably because nigeria is all dey av seen,nigerians are living in d stone age.To show u how bad our situation is:Iran now ravaged by war still has power supply in many areas,Cuba(a communist ghetto like country)still has an excellent medical set up;Libya despite d ravages of bombings& its most recent turmoil still has excellent road networks,etc;so tell me how much worse can it b wen a country has no power supply,no roads,no water,no emergency & evn non emergency response team.If one hundreth of d natural disasters dat strike other countries were to happen here,d country wud probably b wiped off d face of d earth.

delors: @OP how can u post these gory images na? Its not right! At least u shud warn the audience before doing that...this is disastrous! We need prayers!

tayoTFC: The op has done a great job this is call complete information of an accident. U have to support ur information with substantive picture evedence so that if anybody see the pics and recognise the victim they can be of help to assist rescue any life victim.

Dont talk like an idiioot, there is no safe place anywhere in the world. The America you are talking about is not safe, check their road safety records and see the staggering number of people that die on their highways everyday. What about the hundreds of people that are shot monthly by blood sucking white supremacists? Did you see how school children were massacred in USA last week? Has it ever happened to Nigeria before?

If you believe America is better for you please stay there, i dont know who is begging you to come to Nigeria. I know some guys in Port Harcourt, they are clearing/forwarding agents and they are making hell of money in PHC, they cannot spend more than 2 weeks anywhere outside Nigeria bc they are making their money here. There are some guys that are making good money in Pakistan, tell them America is heaven they will tell you go to hell. There are folks who are making it in America and they are happy and comfortable. If you are ok in America thats cool, as for me theres no place like Nigeria.

1. I dont think that its advisable for anybody who isnt trained in First aid to tamper with an accident scene like this one.

Secondly.. I know Nigerians.. They will rush to the rescue first. Its only when they see that it is a hopeless situation that they would settle for pictures. Because really, some stories are better seen than imagined.
