wman: It's very inhumane that when incidents like these occur, people quickly whip out their phones to snap when the first normal response should be to help. 1 Like |

Most Nigerian drivers are really reckless...! This is why I frown at the manner in which FRSC dishes out licenses without proper proof of driving proficiency and understanding of road signs and laws. Some don't even have proper driving school education or training. |

Shai! Imagine going to tell the parents of these students that the child they sent to the university,suffering just to see them through and who they spoke to just minutes ago or was at a POS point trying to send money to,is dead!! It will take the wisdom of Solomon to break such news to any parent. |

The accident happened as the students were returning home after their exams. Eyewitnesses report that the bus was overcrowded, carrying 10 people despite its capacity being limited to 7 passengers. |

Racoon:It's only when such tragic event happens people remember how dangerous and life threatening such practice is. But I bet you that same korope and driver and even some students have been in many countless trips like this for months if not years,always getting away with it till the devil suddenly woke up on the wrong side of unilorin today. How many occasions have you seen students lapping themselves in overcrowded buses,so that they can all get home together or attend a function together. It's only after accidents like this we all remember that overcrowding and overspending are 2 fatal vehicle combinations. 3 Likes |

jaxxy: Over 90% of fatal accidents in Nigeria are due to overspeeding, reckless driving, and poor knowledge of or disregard for road safety rules and regulations. Most Nigerians don't even know the basic driving and road use regulations. Frsc and government should make driving school attendance and certification compulsory for anyone applying for licenses... And reeducation for those renewing. |

This road looks like inside campus, why would a driver drive on a high speed? There's supposed to be a maximum speed in the campus. RIP to the dead and my sincere condolences to their families. |
