It is disheartening to witness the utter contempt we have here for human life. In addition to the Boko Haram mayhem, we are faced with weekly slaughter of Nigerians by trailers and petrol tankers that slam into markets, buses and motor parks. Last week, eighteen promising students of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, were taken from us when a trailer, going the wrong way, ran into their bus. Few weeks earlier, a petrol tanker veered into a busy Onitsha market, caught fire and roasted scores of Nigerians to death. Sad. Very sad indeed.
