Really saddening.These big lorries should ply the road from 9pm because of traffic in the morning and afternoon hours.Also vehicles should not drive closely to big lorries with container and tanks of petrol .It will help in containing this carnage.

It's not all about unlatched or special routes.


It's the age of those trucks, general maintenance, and the unskilled lots who have no formal training about what it takes to drive a long truck.

No special lane for trucks in the UK and US. But examination to drive a truck it's like JAMB. And the age of their trucks is less than 6years after production.
Re: Two Dead, As Container Falls On Car In Lagos [photo] by simplesearch: 1:37pm On Sep 16, 2019
Some driver act like they have more than one life the way they compete with this monsters who daily ply on our bad roads. Trucks and containers are suppose to be restricted to a particular lane or period of time to move around the town,with the pot-holes on our roads and the fact that this useful monsters are hardly tacked down properly, what is to be expected is that at any slight tilt beyond equilibrium point there is no force of pull-back to its initial position, reason the unthinkable are always bound to occur. Whether in a private car or public bus always caution your driver to pull back and come behind especially in areas with deep potholes that can facilitate such.

There should have specific well secured trucks that carry these containers, these are death traps.

the lives of these people mean nothing to Osinbanjo and to Buhari.
the sad thing is that no one will be prosecuted. the government does not care. is this not a police road safety case? they will abandon it. you will walk the walk alone. everyday trucks kill people in that country and still nothing is put in place to stop it. this is the place that they brought those nigerians in south africa? those nigerians who came back are failed foreigners in south africa. the attack was only in J'burg. why not move to other cities or nearby countries to continue your hustle? now, some of the people that this truck may have killed could be one of the repatriated. the man could have made better headline if he was killed in SA.
the other time dangote trucks killed so many people. no one said one word. no arrest nothing. dangote trucks kill so many people in nigeria. he bought the best electro-power equipment but he will buy unroadworthy trucks to run in nigeria. go and see dangote industry in other african countries and compare to the one in nigeria. they do not care about anyone. because they have money. the owner of these trucks should be arrested. before putting a truck on the road you must ensure roadworthiness. the vehicles must not be beyond 2011 model.
T.B Joshua killed over 100 people and today that case is a lost case in time. he even refused to appear in court. this is the man who should be keeping the laws. Jesus whom he claims to follow appeared in courts. but not one of these men appear in court. Jesus said that his followers will be persecuted. how can you be Jesus followers when you do not appear in courts and you want to heal like Jesus. no one wants to suffer like Jesus. they just want to heal and prophesy. you will do works greater than I. oya walk on water na. walk on the pacific ocean to prove greater works. Jesus walked and trekked all these thieves are luxuriating in private jets.

anglican church almost all over the world have agreed to legally join a man and another man in matrimony. the priest who officiate says "with the power vested in me by god, I pronounce you man and man". I am asking the name of the god that vested such power in Anglicans to perform such abominable act for which Sodom and Gomorrah died for. Sodom and Gomorrah is better than many who called themselves Christians and Muslims.
christians who call themselves anglicans in nigeria have not truly understood that the anglican in other parts of the world do not share the same doctrines with them when it comes to homosexuality. anglicans in nigerian still report to and attend functions in the UK where their HEADQUARTER is. they still send collections to the headquarter that approves gay marriage.
some of those anglicans stone gays in nigeria only to go abroad to sit in the sermon of a gay priest who pillages the anuses of little boys.
Catholics embrace gay marriages and some nigerian catholics pretend to be new to the idea. haha when you see them acting like one thing just laugh because they are absolutely ignorant.
In most Islam dominated locations, men really need help dealing with bowel incontinence. due to the isolation or segregation of men and women, most men have developed admiration and desires for their fellow men. this has lead to many failed marriages, health problems and an unbearable level of homosexuality and rape. the women are one of the highest purchasers of intimacy gadgets. what they do to little boys is beyond being spoken. and what about beastiality? beastiality has a dome in most islamic states. it is a far outcry for anyone to even attempt putting a stop to it.
muslim women want to sleep with anything and anyone as soon as they gain some freedom in a free country. when you see some tourist, just know the women come to enjoy themselves. with no string attached. In saudiarabia, all the girls want to flee. even the men. they want to run away. even with such massive wealth. they just need freedom. look at the guy dating rihanna and the other one who married janet jackson. Look up Dina Ali on google.
abegi. nigeria is saliva.
are u okay atol? U want me to read all dis rubish u type above me? Hell no am not gonna do dat shit.

Re: Two Dead, As Container Falls On Car In Lagos [photo] by Minjim: 1:47pm On Sep 16, 2019
The police and LSG are to blame. They'll see a truck that's not road worthy they'll not stop and impound it. Majority of Lag inroads are in terrible sharp and all LSG does is fill it with stones which makes navigating it a deadly affair

what do you mean by designated routes? make them make separate road for container too? how does that work.

The fact is that govt negligence on simple issues is killing Nigerians.

Its a pure luck how we even survive the chaos in our road, was in onitsha the other day trapped in a 1hr hold up, 40ft 20ft,heavy duty vehicles everywia, then flanked by small vehicles on each side, meaning just a flip from these heavy truck will result in casuality.

Until something is done abt our roads and do dualize every high way, these accidents will continue happening, its so unfortunate.
Re: Two Dead, As Container Falls On Car In Lagos [photo] by Odinaka00(m): 2:08pm On Sep 16, 2019
In a developed countries, there 're specific routes for big trucks.. they 're not to be seen dragging roads with smaller cars.. 2 dead bodies.. something that could have been avoided and tomorrow someone will tell me to come back home to stay.. RIP

I thought the articulated and heavy duty vehicles are supposed to have restricted schedules of movements. It's a shame lives are still sniffed out these preventable ways. These things were happening early 2000s when i was still in apapa lagos thinking by now should have been in the past. Main causes of containers tipping off are bad roads and substandard or incapacitated vehicles.

We need moral reorientation in our societies...our system is collarpsing in our very presence and nobody dares speak up? We're losing it.

I rather follow containers behind than to drive by its side - avoid side driving with containers, just follow it jejely - it may be slow in moving but just relax , better to arrive late than to be late.

Nigeria's environment is very unforgiving - deaths rocking in all sides. Ask those relocating abroad the reason, one is for the future of their children and second is insecurity in the land.

The insecurity in this country is too much. Insecurity is not only when you are killed by arm robbers or kidnappers - insecurity in bad roads, organized chaos we have in our cities, gun wielding and drunk policemen, articulated vehicle plying without control, just name them.
