I wonder.

I'm now confused of the bridge they're talking about. There are no signs of any bridge being there formerly even.

What did we(students) do with the flyover that was there before? The flyover was useless cause students never used it, we preferred the shortcut instead of the flyover. Rip pretty.

if dis ever gets to court it could go either way...and if u look deep it will definitely end up in favor of d army guy...u knw y,because it was an accident, and accidents ve a reason for being called accidents-cause they happend without malice..moreso,they could score a very big point by asserting and proving that the accident occurred as a result of d collective failure of d school authorities and d govt to provide basic amenities lik speed brakes and pedestrian bridges in an EXPRESS road..let's face it,dis could occur again,even today..as long as d road is still like that..they lld prolly end up wit minimal damages

They do not have to attend that school,since its obvious that the road is not save, safety should be paramount before any thing else including education and to think that an army vehicle hits two students in nigeria and ran did not bother to stop is mind bogling!, if its in a developed countries they will be in jail,

Glory days of Uniben SUG is gone.

What the heck is SUG doing? Yearly death and the Student Union leaders just there for their stomach infrastructure as Typical Nigeria politicians.

Please students should match forward, until a flyover in made directly in front of Main gate not like the dormant pedestrian bridge that was made almost 300metres away from the Main gate years ago.

No more death please... I got relations in Uniben o

What's your point exactly?

That a flyover should not be constructed?

Why was the former one removed? For what reasons?

There was a bridge... It was too far from the main gate. It was very dormant. It was destroyed during the road expansion. One would have thought that a better one be erected directly in front of d main gate. To our surprise, nothing was done till date. Its so Disturbing

Now this explains why students hardly made use of it.

How do you expect a student who is late for lectures,,test or exam to trek for as long as 100m or more before he gets to the fly-over that links him to the other road when he could quickly cross.

If this flyover/pedestrian bridge was constructed directly in front of the school gate i'm sure students will use it regularly.

Exactly our point then bro. I never saw anyone use that bridge all through my 5 yrs in Uniben.

SUG had better sit up tho

I'm a Uniben graduate. There use to be a pedestrian bridge but it is later removed when the road was reconstructed. Students actually didn't make use of the bridge though majorly because of where it was positioned.
Thank God for keeping me through my stay in Uniben because I crossed that road countless times.
Rip to the dead.

That expressway has taken the lives of so many students. In fact it is Believed that at least 3 students get hit by a car every year on that road. Sometime in march a guy was hit by a vehicle while he was crossing the road to the school gate for night class. Thank God he survived it.

Last year it was a 400level pharmacy student who was hit on the road and he died on the spot.


Now we have these two girls. And we are just in july. Nobody knows what will happen before the year runs out. I just hope nobody gets hit again.

I've been asking myself,,is it that the school authority or the federal government cannot construct a flyover/pedestrian bridge for students or at least a simple speed break? The rate at which students are getting killed on that road is alarming.

That's an expressway for God sake and the cars that pass there always speed without impunity.

Auchi polytechnic has a pedestrian bridge just in front of the school gate and the road is not even as wide as this one in UNIBEN.

It's still because of this road why I can't get an accommodation in that BDPA off campus opposite the school. I can't imagine myself having to cross an express road every single day when i'm going to school. undecided

It's fùcking risky!

Rip Rita...

speed breakers or bumps will do because before the removal of the only pedestrian bridge in front of the school was removed two years ago no uniben student have been using it except secondary and primary school kids. I could remember when I was still a student in my 100 and 200 level days when my friends and I were were crossing the bridge our uniben colleagues were busy laughing, mocking at us and some were calling us primary school kids. The only role the school authority has to play is to create speed bumps some metres before and after the gate on each of the lanes. Pedestrian bridges will not do because students love to use the road as "grownups". Rip to the dead. She stays close to me.

even those whose streets were just close to the bridge then never used it. I stay on 19th street which was too close to the bridge then. I never saw students from 19th & 20th streets use it in my 5 yrs in sch before it was removed.

Such a painful thing...wat a sin tin! Have you seen the expanse of that road?...how smooth it is, calling stupid drivers for more speed. I've nearly been in this situation...God saved me. These motorist just keep stepping on the gas forgetting students are crossing. The commercial bus drivers are mad, private drivers are insane while the military and para-military drivers belong to an asylum for the criminally insane!

Oh God!...gone just like that, God help their families.
