THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO SAD! REST IN PEACE! these roads are a death trap, not only the roads, but the drivers, not only the drivers, but im sure they were jammed in those buses like sardines, not only that, but how many were wearing seatbelt, not only that, but how many of those drivers were legally licensed?
what a tragedy.
how long will people continue to die like insects for just going about their daily living? NIGERIA has a long way to go.
wow this is just very sad. the rate at which young ppl are dying these days is just so alarming. we really need to pray about this situation. and then also nigeria is a very lawless country, no1 cares if these drivers have certified license, every1 is corrupt including ourselves. things really have to change. but how?
Thank God my gf got back to nsukka safely o.

My heart is 2 heavy to even begin to say anything. I pray d Good Lord will give the families involved the heart to bear the loss. MAY d souls of d departed ones REST IN PEACE!
The Government should help us dualise these expressways to further reduce these occurences. Imagine losing loved ones to an accident that could have been averted.
Where it pains me most is that some of them are corpers who have meritoriously served their country after passing through the rigotous tertiary institution training. Haba mana! This is not fair Nigeria!
Gosh that road and that junction in particular is a death trap! Drove on it a few yrs ago some dec I went to naija had my heart jump up and down every sec...truly only God that got us back. I kept wondering who sent me to go for the trad wedding we were attending.
I pray for their families, for the Youth Corpers to have come so far only for this to happen.
I agree with Alicia. This requires not just prayers but actions and from every single Nigerian if the country is to become a better place for all too live in. My thoughts and prayers go to the families of the deceased.
@ Alicia, God bless you. Well said.
God watch over their souls! Comfort their families O Lord
