He continued:

"Normal road has a shoulder, a shoulder where cars don't park on… a shoulder you can easily swerve into in an emergency, just like the one that just wasted two lives. Yes, the road you have is horrible and it should not be a road. But I guess you have no idea what a good road looks like."

@MaziNasir noted:

"Since I moved abroad, the only thing I ask God for is good health. If you work, you get paid. When you get paid, you eat. There is power, the streets are safe, and driving is safer. Yet the simplest things—basic amenities—are what the Nigerian government still cannot provide."

"There bad roads, Yes but Nothing is wrong with the road where the accident happened."

@Iamvirtously noted:

"We pray to God for things he has given us power to do, we should start holding our leaders accountable."
