Many feard dead. May none be confirmed dead. Possible Causes of the Explosion: 1. Substandard tanker bucket. 2. Badly-refined oil. 3. Carelessness during transportation. 4. Bad road. 5. There are many victims of this particular explosion, probably because people gathered instead of running away. I am tempted to believe that Nigeria is the most careless and lawless country in Africa. I think that things like tanker explosions and road accidents happen more in Nigeria than in other African countries. In Nigeria, tankers use dented or leaking buckets to transport inflammable substance. People smoke near tankers. Filling stations are built near residential homes where people cook and burn things. 56 Likes 4 Shares |

This catastrophe happened less than 1 hour after I passed that location. The portion of East/West road is something else especially from Alode bridge to trailer park. 22 Likes |

Let me clarify something here. Whenever you hear many feared dead, it means while the petrol tanker was burning, people were looking instead of running to a safe place. Then it got intense and exploded, and they all got caught in the inferno. I remember when I was doing my IT, I saw a petrol tanker burning at the top in a fueling station. I saw crowd filled with people watching from all angles at a close range. I had to tell one woman who was with her child to run for her life, that if this tank explodes, she's dead. She took my advice and moved away from the scene. Many people like putting themselves in dangers. That's why I don't follow multitudes or do things with them. Please safety first. 55 Likes 4 Shares |

It is stuff like this that makes me fearful when driving in the UK even when I know the likelihood is low. Where is our safety culture? Why do we place such a low premium on human life? 6 Likes |

Fuel tankers and heavy duty vehicles should be given a special road, or should only be moving from 12am-5am 8 Likes 1 Share |

Sigh.... This is why such loaded tankers should be restricted to late night movements. They should never share the road with other users during high traffic periods. 8 Likes |

Functional railway system would have phased out the use of tankers to convey petroleum products but inspite of homogus funds being lavished on railway system in Nigeria there has been no visible impact. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
