The Enugu Rangers assistant captain has been confirmed dead following his involvement in a car crash on Sunday morning
Nigeria international and Enugu Rangers striker Ifeanyi George has died in a car accident at the age of 26.
Goal gathered the ill-fated incident occurred at Abudu on Benin-Agbor expressway after his car bumped into a parked truck on his way to Lagos after the Nigerian top-flight was suspended owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Rangers would later confirm George’s friend, as well as a B team player were also involved in the collision.

The 26-year-old joined Salisu Yusuf’s men at the start of 2017 – scoring his maiden goal against Kano Pillars in a Nigeria Professional Football League outing on April 23, 2017
He was part of the Flying Antelopes’ campaign in the Caf Confederation Cup. His only goal came in the 1-1 draw against Al Masry at Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium.
On the international scene, he marked his debut in the country’s African Nations Championship qualifier against Benin Republic. However, he did not make the final cut for the championships where Nigeria ended as runners-up.

Why does drivers leave their break-down vehicles in the middle of the road? Also, why are people parking their vehicles in unauthorized places, even at night without proper warning to others? What is the work of the Road safety agencies in Nigeria? Na wa-oo!

Well, RIP to the departed.

I was in Nigeria two weeks ago, I took flight from Lagos to Benin and used the road back to Lagos, it was a nightmare, it was as if we were in a battle field, drivers over took other vehicles dangerously, and saw two bad accidents before we got to Lagos. May their souls rest in peace.

Questions, questions Odas.
I have been asking these questions since I was but an acne-faced teenager when a similar vehicle parked on Eko bridge in complete darkness and no reflector lights almost claimed my life if not for a guardian angel who warned me seconds before.

I don't know WTF the so called road safety corps are doing allowing these vehicles of death to ply our roads with no lights, no reflectors, no breaks and their exhausts billowing thick black smoke as they go along.
May these young men RIP.
