This video of people scooping fuel from an overturned tanker was taken this morning at Tincan Liverpool Bridge, Apapa, Lagos. Frankly, it is difficult to understand how people still rush to scoop fuel each time a tanker falls, despite the many lives that have been lost in similar incidents. For me, this is not bravery or smartness; it is a deadly risk. No amount of fuel is worth a human life. One spark is enough to turn that place into a mass grave. Our people need to value their lives more than momentary gain. Fuel can be replaced. Human life cannot. From the side of the government too, we need stronger public education, quicker emergency response, and better systems for conveying inflammables.
