Nigerians have flooded the social space to express concern on why Nigerians would take such risks at the expense of their lives.

See some reactions gathered from X.com:

@DAMIADENUGA asked, “Why do Nigerians love to endanger their lives so much?”

@cezykay reacted, “This is very risky!!!!”

@daggspete recalled, “I still can’t forget a similar one I saw in Benue 6 years ago.

This was how all of them were scooping happily like they have discovered a diamond until a passing vehicle’s exhaust pipe ignited a flame. All of them were roasted on the spot including a pregnant woman. Let’s learn!!!

@flourish007 said, “This goes beyond poverty. Many have essentially signed their own death warrant; what else could explain this situation?”

 @BenRmc commented, “Small fire dropped there and they’ll all barbecue’d”

@onlinegu… said, “People are just existing in Nigeria only few are living so their lives obviously mean nothing to them. They believe all d!3 na d!3.”

Samuel @SamuelIse3 opined, “Check very well not all of them have cars or generators but why are they engaging their lives.”
