DeleteGreat news hearing this. I heard a woman has five children inside that building. This is so shocking and heartbreaking. Come to think that the building was marked for demolition last year. Nigerians plays a lot over sensitive matters.
ReplyDeleteHow can you be poor and stupidly stupid at the same time, see the building sef.
DeleteStop with the fake news, no woman's five children were in the building.
DeleteOga easy with how you spread unverified news.
DeleteChukwu aju! Five kids?! Lord please send help to these kids.
DeleteThey need to investigate and get to the bottom of this. Some people allowed this to happen by not doing their jobs

ReplyDeleteI don't even want to think about this. Primary school pupils, say 2 to 10 years. My heart aches. My prayer is 0 casualty Father Lord
ReplyDeletePls what are those people doing there? Except for the rescue team and the affected people, I see no reason why that place should be crowded. I am very sure they are not helping the rescue people at all. It is to snap pictures and post on social media. That was how we had accident and one moron had the nerve to be making videos while we were still entrapped under a bus. Nigerians and our stupidity .pls they should clear from there and give the rescue people space to do their job. I can only imagine how difficult it will be to carry a rescued child across that mammoth crowd.
ReplyDeleteTunnel vision down single way street keeps you off

ReplyDeleteA parent said through out last week his children were home because of unpaid fees. He hustled and paid their fees on Monday only for them to be involved in accident...
ReplyDeleteMost houses in Lagos island have been compromised and govt officials who mark a house for demolition will not do the needful once you grease their hands.
Tah which government officials the owners of the house usually family house go to oba of Lagos and next thing they summon you to governors office and you don't have a choice as power pass power naa........so don't blame government officials all the time I work with Lagos State Safety Commission
DeleteMay condolences to all the family and friends who lost their loved ones especially the children it was a sight to behold

Lagos Island buildings are a menace, catastrophe waiting to happen. You see a narrow space and 4 nos 5 storey building will be constructed, no privacy, no ventilation. Only God knows the agonizing cries of the kids, the fear! God Almighty what is happening?
