I would automatically be running for my life at any sign of fire on a tanker. Absolutely nothing good can come from it. |

I don dey Port Harcourt for over 10 years. This road has been under construction for that same time but the reality is that, billions is being embezzled from the road and it will never be fixed. The chiefs and indigenes of that place will not make it happen because they are benefiting. Anytime I pass there. I dey fear cos trailers dey try man over bad spots which they lead to these kind of accidents. So help me God wey dey our national anthem no be for memes 2 Likes |

So unfortunate. So sad. What a dark day. Lives snuffed out at the snap of the finger. What is their eternal destination? For those who died and didn't know Christ a more terrible fate awaits them. Please, give your lives to Christ. A second outside Christ is more dangerous than putting your head in a crocodile's open jaws. May those who survived recover speedily. 3 Likes |

The ugly incident happened close to my house. Relevant authorities will disclose the actual number of casualties in due time. However, I learnt that a truck driver while trying to overtake the exploded tanker scratched it resulting in the explosion and subsequent loss of innocent lives. Authorities should do something about reckless driving by truck and tanker drivers to reduce reoccurrence. Thank God, a lot of people escaped because the tanker did not explode immediately.I saw three dead bodies included a pregnant woman inside one of the burnt commercial sienna buses. Probably , she could not escape while others were escaping due to her condition. Don't drink and drive , they won't listen. So, sad.! 2 Likes 1 Share |

If any government have it on their balls.to take accountability in ruling this country to 75%, I don't see why the next goal is not to reduce preventable death experiences a mile.

13greens: Reconstruction is currently on going. In fact that accident can be attributed to the on going reconstruction. The contractor is working at a very slow snail-like pace. The holdup that made several vehicles get caught up was as a result of the on-going construction. RCC should be sacked from doing the job. Contract should be re awarded to JB. You need to see how far J. has going with tej ENEKA work meanwhile they just got to site in less than 1 months, compared to RCC that has been on site for more than 4 months. I guess. |

Light78: And you think that that was the case at Eleme? I will give some sound advice. Do not be quick to make conclusions. Do not be quick to pass judgement. Try to get all facts. You see a tanker catch fire in a tight holdup on a hill and you are here taking another thing. Pray that you will not be in a holdup and a fully PMS laden tanker catches fire and spills the product, flowing down a hill towards you. |

cremedelacreme:/ This and other Federal roads should have been prioritized over the superhighway from Lagos to Calabar. But then it is Nigeria we are talking about. They let old things rot away and start building new things that they may never finish just to have avenues for looting. / |
