Is oil wealth more curse than blessings?

Extreme poverty has driven my people insane. The quest to survive by any means.

No vex!! Your face resemble vex na ehn cause am!! No mind all these people wey go use because of awoof go hell fire go light candle..

This is where common sense is not that common.

Besides, if you want to risk your life scooping fuel that won't last you more than a week or so. Why not risk it against the government that put you in the condition in the first place ?

Na when it comes to things like this, people dey get liver.

Anyways, Rest in peace.

Price of greed and stupidity

Over 50 persons burned to ashed when villagers went to scoop fuel from a tanker that collided with aToyota Corolla at Okobie village, Ahoada West LGA, Rivers State at about 11am.
The drivers of trailers was telling them not to scoop that the trailer was still steaming but it fell on deaf ears as they were calling their friend and relatives to come and join the fuel festival before it exploded killing over 50 persons including family of 4. Many more has been rushed to the hospital with severe burns.

black Jesus what kind of death news evry day, evry where in Nigeria is this. jah Jehovah' save us

Kennyblues: God, where is thy face

In the Book of Hosea in the Bible

It says my people are destroyed due to lack of (Knowledge or Information) I saw someone have a 3rd degree burns after he put a bucket under a leaking Tank of Kerosene and this was in 1980 that was 32 years ago and people still havent learnt anything. Some free things come at a cost.

Its not Cross Rivers state but Rivers State.

You can either learn the easy way or the hard way.

I just got arguing with someone on this carnage: is this a case of poverty or greed? I personally think most Nigerians are suffering from extreme greediness...poverty is just an excuse.

Bros!! No be today boys start to hustle!! Thank God say my hustle finally pay..

However, their is no justification for a crime.. especially a foolish one like this..

The question of howcome the officials werent there before people vandalising is a very dumb and retarded question... If you rethink it through, you would have to agree..

Ask for the fire service, their job is to contain the disaster caused by the stupidity and greed of a few lazy niggas who think that there is a shortcut in life to wealth... All they were going to do was to quench the flames and pick up whatever that was left of the corpses of the retarded niggas and send it off to the morgue!!

More like learn the easy way or die in foolish ignorance!

Poverty dey cause deafness!

Alfoasegh:

U dey vex oooohhhhhhhh...

Kennyblues: God, where is thy face

did God send anybody to and scoop fuel from a fallen tanker? Beside that is stealing which is against god's commandment..

Eggzactly!!

I am only being move by compassion and hoping God would safe us if we refuse to safe ourselves.

Then sorry!! God dosent save people!! Ask Jesus!!

T-smooth:
Nigeria "jaga-jaga". I blame our Government for neglecting their youth. Jonorthern should empower youths instead sitting in Aso rock being controlled by some Northerner. mtcheeew!

when will you guyz grow up?

haroldvicks: did God send anybody to and scoop fuel from a fallen tanker? Beside that is stealing which is against god's commandment..

Pure stealing, since they didnt settle the owner of the fuel before scooping. Seeing ano unfortunate accident all they could think was to take advantage, most foolish death of the decade.

they will never use their brain.

asides a very high risk of static charges, metal buckets hitting another, or hitting the asphalt, or even a smoker nearby, car ignitions nearby, corn roaster at the other side of the road. There lies the live nepa cable above, the current is usually so high that tiny charges always cover the cable. RIP

listen to news on radio and confirm the location of the mishap, k? @poster

Good for them !
