I don't think automobile accident in Nigeria is as a result of the age of the cars. The major course is as a result of bad roads. People are still driving 1989, 1990 vehicle in europe. If there is no tokunbo in Nigeria, how many DGs not to talk of ordinary citizens can buy a brand new vehicle without stealing government money. Let the government give us a good and standard road, and developa better maintance policy.
