Nigerian comedian, Ali Baba express his views on the explosion that occurred at the Otedola bridge in Lagos yesterday evening to lawlessness

Comedian, Ali Baba has attributed the tanker explosion that occured at the Otedola bridge in Lagos yesterday evening to lawlessness. In a post shared on his IG page, the comedian wrote

''In organized societies, where traffic is a major issue, tankers and heavy duty vehicles move at night or at specified times. In developed climes, MOT agencies... are as serious as the police force. In some other climes, that have deep shores like we do, only one port can not be used for discharge of staples like fuel, and even then, fuel and transportation of inflammable contents are done in controlled methods.

We are a Lawless country. If government tries to organize these same tankers now, they will go on strike, shut down the economy and day to day running, and we will let them continue. Same thing with teachers... try to get them to go get retrained and be bwtter qualified to teach, they will strike and wr are back to status quo. We do not punish people who even chop monies meant for projects. Projects that have been captured in the budget and monies released.
