 Unlatched containers, dangerously placed on articulated vehicles, have fallen over time, resulting in gloom, loss of lives and pain. With these incidents, the dreams and aspirations of many have been caught short. In this special report, plus TV Africa's correspondent, Destiny Mama, X-rays some of these incidents with a view to curbing the menace. Now the menace of containers dropping on Nigerian roads has become a thing of major concern. People die daily, records that even journalists do not have. The question is, how can we end this menace of containers falling on Nigerian roads and killing innocent lives? The growing rate of crashes involving articulated vehicles on Nigerian roads is a source of concern to pundits and particularly stakeholders in the transportation industry who could give anything to see it reduced drastically. To understand this trend with a view to ensuring control, we speak to the Director-General of Lake Estates Emergency Management Agency, La Sema and Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps. They need to ensure that their drivers are not on rocks. They need to ensure that their vehicles are well maintained. And again, while they are carrying on this container, they need to tighten it down on the vehicle. And they need to ensure that the proper tones that the articulated vehicle supposed to carry is what is carrying. However, we appeal to other road users that when you have never seen these containers articulated vehicles carrying containers going anywhere, you should give them gaps. It is the fault of the man that wants to make business through a tool, through an instrument that he has failed to put in proper position. Why do we have all these problems all over? You know you want to go into all aid business. And we are not even saying don't do that. FRS is saying as long as you are still able to maintain minimum safety standard, which is as minimum as we mentioned it. Just how can this menace be completed, obliterated, knowing its negative impact on socio-economic activities, vis-a-vis filled deliveries among others? Experts advise on the need to explore the rail and pipeline transportation modes as viable alternatives. These products are carrying containers. Some of them are traveling to the north, to the east, and all of that. Ideally, we should be using the rail system to move distance. I must acknowledge what the government has done so far. There have been some investment in the rail transportation. And I think there is a decision now to construct the rail system right into the ports. We need to be able to deploy all those other ways of moving goods across the country. Rarely is one of them for fuel. We need to develop our pipelines. Commuters and pedestrians are not left out as some have fallen victims of these accidents. Some have been maimed. Others met with their untimely death. Files on these menace have been piling up over time. Most recently, a driver at Alakoda Ijora Bridge who could not run away like his lucky boss was killed in the process. The case of Chima, Naipa, and Chidema Ajoku were worked with the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria fan comes to mind. Their family members could not hold their grief as they still wallow in agony. Chima's mother narrates her a deal. Nothing can compensate me. This is a human being that has been trained in the university. I mean, private university for that matter. Apart from that, you see that bond between mother and child, what can compensate it? So I'm not even talking of that at all. What I am talking of is how they will stop these menace so that other people will not continue to fall victim. Nigeria as a developing African country has gotten to a point where it can emulate developed countries to explore new trends of containers with inbuilt rails that latch them effortlessly yet properly to curb this painful menace which has left green memories on the faces of residents.
