Very sad, I'm heartbroken

this could have been avoided, may their souls rest in peace

Life

Like that their own don finish this life nah nothing walihi

being poor is not an excuse for being stupid.. when a fuel tanker falls down, anyone will small sense should run as fast as their legs can carry them and be far away from that vicinity but in naija its not like that. Instead they see it as opportunity to scoop free fuel and perish in the process. Economy is bad does not mean u should be stupid and die foolish death. There's nothing like free fuel, rather the tanker is a bomb waiting to explode. running towards it is pure suicide.

No RIP to waste because i know that if another tanker falls tomorrow, everyone will carry bucket and jerrycan to fetch free fuel.. To them God have buttered their bread

Sad

Ok

Such is life.

T.Pain on the beat

Very sad.
So there's no precautionary measure to avoid such incidence
It's becoming too frequent

I don't pity people that caused their own death with their own hands. R.I.P to the dead and get well soon to the wounded.

Bad rubbish

How did this happen?
Was the explosion in a market?

Nigeria is designed to destroy you

How? When?

I missed this news. 140 people at a go?

This is both terrible and sad

When ? How?

Kai 140 people died in one swoop,
Life have no value in this country again.
Imagine this happening in Us or UK that will call for national mourning
But in my country life goes on...

May their souls rest in perfect peace.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

The pain is that this is not coming to an end soon as our leaders are not ready to take the right stance and interestingly, as a people, we are more concerned about tribe and religion sentiment to defend our leaders than ask them to act responsible.

Fuel done become weapon that fashion against people, 140, that number is huge... Rip

People taking extreme measures to get by..

It's not wise going to scoop fuel from a fallen tanker.. anything could ignite the fuel especially as people rush helter-skelter to scoop..

It's definitely not worth the risk..

You see petrol tanker fall you no run!

Wish I'm around were it happened. What a nice roasted meat to take do my dinner 😍

You just dey with these hardship, death just show unexpected. Chao! Rip

Hmmmm

May you never find yourself in a situation where your IQ and smartness will read zero

Too bad.

Many Nigerians will risk their lives to make quick 20k (~20litres of fuel) from a fallen tanker.

Even if another fuel tanker falls in that same spot tomorrow, many will still rush to scoop free fuel.
