@CalebsLeke posted: “I hate speed, man; Speed Kills. If you are driving a car that I am in and you accelerate at very top speed, I just assume that I offended you before and you have been looking for a means to unalive me and the best way to do so is kill me in a fatal car crash.”

@Ariu7 tweeted: “Open road racing, in SUVs with high centers of gravity, almost certainly under the influence (drugs &/or alcohol), in Nigeria with zero emergency health services. Even if village people were asleep, & uninterested they’d have been unable to ignore this kind of willing sacrifice.”

@JTobbi posted: “Tbh I careless about people’s negligence, I can’t imagine someone same would think of racing in a bad road and in a country with poor healthcare conditions. It’s more like they wished it upon themselves rest to the souls of the innocent lives lost.”

@swagnito: “Racing on Lagos expressway that doesn’t have street lamps and unruly drivers. They always say drive like your family is a passenger in the other cars on the road. It’s sad but 1+1=2.”
