Photos from the fatal accident in Ikorodu this morning
A fatal accident occurred this morning March 17th around 6:50am along General Hospital Road, Ikorodu.
The disaster happened when a tanker carrying fuel lost control and ran into a popular cow market known as Odo-eran and burst into flames.
One unidentified man was burnt to death while a few were seriously injured and have been taken to the hospital. See more pics from the incident after the cut...

Every day. One story. God protect us. Amen. Engr Emy
God pls help our souls from untimely death. Let the SG pls do something about all these fuel tanker drivers.. May the soul of the deceased rest in peace.. Amen.. Linda see me
hmmmmm. Not again. The drivers mostly high on crack or kiykiy. Separate route away from major roads should be constructed for them to avoid these daily menace.
On March 7th the inevitable happened – Boko Haram pledged formal allegiance to ISIS, sparking fears that West Africa may soon become over-flooded with ISIS jihadists fresh from the Syrian battlefield. But for analysts of the region, Boko Haram’s love of the Islamic State had been a fait accompli for months. The Nigerian group has slowly changed its modus operandi since the summer of 2014, adopting ISIS hymns, symbols and considerably improving the graphics of its revealing videos. Much like their Middle Eastern counterparts, Boko Haram’s territory has also expanded, measuring some 20,000 square miles of African “caliphate” where the jihadists have enforced their own reading of Sharia law.
As in Iraq and Syria, could Nigeria also be splintered against the backdrop of institutional dysfunctions and violent militancy? The future all hinges on the March 28 presidential elections. The poll was postponed by 6 weeks from it’s original February 14th date at the request of military advisors claiming Boko Haram’s recent string of attacks risked derailing the process; so far, 2015 has been the bloodiest year in Nigeria’s ongoing fight with Islamic terrorism.
A senior Nigerian military official recently announced the offensive against Boko Haram, backed by the multi-national Joint Task Force, was gaining ground and “achieving its intended goals”. Should the army be successful in taking back Boko Haram strongholds in the north, the upcoming elections could see the country’s first democratic transfer of power since the establishment of democracy in 1999. But should the process be mired in violence and rumors of electoral fraud, the country could see itself become further divided between north and south, and descend into violence. The threat is so persistent that it has united all presidential hopefuls, who gathered in Abuja earlier this year to sign a pact, pledging to ensure the peaceful conduct of the elections. A close call Currently the two presidential candidates are running neck and neck in the polls. Incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a tumble in the polls proportional to the havoc wreaked by Boko Haram in the north. Despite his vast achievements in the economic sphere, and his planned “transformation agenda” aimed at diversifying the economy and generating employment, Jonathan has been accused of “lack of leadership” by his main opponent, Muhammadu Buhari of the All People’s Congress (APC).
Buhari, a lapsed ex-military dictator who anointed himself president in the early 1980s before being overthrown in a counter-coup, has refashioned himself as a converted democrat. Running on an anti-corruption program and vowing to defeat Boko Haram, Buhari and his APC party are certain they can secure a first round victory. However, despite Buhari’s salt of the earth image of being one of the least corrupt individuals in the country, his reputation for abusing human rights and freedom of expression puts into question his commitment to the democracy he claims to support. Fighting electoral fraud Elections in Nigeria have historically been subject to vote rigging and electoral fraud, but this year the country’s electoral body, the INEC, has put in a variety of measures to prevent fraud in the polls. Biometric voter cards have been issued to the population and a fingerprint identification system was created in order to avoid the duplication of votes. While such efforts to ensure the credibility of elections are certainly a step forward, preparation problems have meant that only a little over half of registered voters have received their voter cards, the majority of whom are in Buhari’s strongholds in the north. Considering the extremely close race in 2015, any feeling by either party that they have been cheated out of victory, could have grave implications for the country’s future governance.
