Sixteen years ago today, a tragic accident shook my birthplace of Ejere. A medium-sized bus, tragically overloaded to nearly double its capacity, was involved in a catastrophic crash that claimed the lives of 20 key figures and leading businessmen from our small village. In a poignant and collective moment of grief, they were all buried together. This heartbreaking event underscores the dangers of overloading vehicles and the critical importance of adhering to road safety regulations. Such preventable tragedies highlight the need for greater awareness and responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
