The other oil tanker accidents from Africa really underline the fact that these things just happen there and it's smaller news then, say, the BP spill.

• October 2009: At least 70 people burnt to death when tanker explodes in Anambra state, Nigeria, setting fire to minibuses
• November 2008: Tanker overturns and explodes in Ghana, killing at least 22 as people scoop up fuel
• August 2008: Similar incident kills dozens of villagers in explosion in northern Cameroon
• January 2008: Dozens of people reported dead as tanker explodes near Port Harcourt, Nigeria
• March 2007: Up to 100 dead in blast after trying to collect fuel from broken-down tanker in Nigeria's Kaduna State
