RIP little Daniel. May God give your parents the fortitude to bear this painful loss.
ReplyDeleteNot blaming them either for what might been prevented. It could happen to anybody.
Rest in peace cutie
Such a sad news. So that cute little baby that just celebrated his. Year birth is gone? I am here wondering how it happened. Is there. No barricade to the pool? No one was tending to th little baby? So many questions on my head begging for snswets.
DeleteMay his soul rest in peace.
Chai I keep staring at his pictures can't believe that cute baby is gone 😔
DeleteMay God console them o, their pains isn't a good thing in imagination let alone reality.
It cannot happen to me Beloved!,..
DeleteI know what it takes to have a child and how painful it is!...
Ok,this morning,I saw a child of about 4 years walking to school in a busy road with a 2 year old girl!...
I see this scenario all the time!...
Tell me what their parents are doing leaving these children walking helplessly!...
Tomorrow if something bad happen to them,people would say it can happen to anybody!...
God forbid!...
Q&b this case is quite different o, home accident could happen to any child especially toddlers, that's why you don't give them much space.
DeleteOnce they start walking is another work entirely for the mother.
May God protect our children, devil strikes with even the slightest opportunity.

This is heartbreaking. I was just discussing this issue of pool last week when a toddler in the U.S. think one of the parents is a sports man/woman drowned also.
DeleteWas saying never shld you have a functioning pool when you have kids. They are too mischevious.
Iv fallen in the pool b4 at age 4. How I got out by myself only God knows. They just saw me come back upstairs with wet clothes.
This news is the worst thing iv heard in a long time. My heart breaks for the parents.
Jesus christ.what a bad news
DeleteDYKM
DeleteQueen and Boss has a very valid point. Some things are very AVOIDABLE!!!
First of all, what sense is it to have an indoor pool when you have a little toddler around? It’s risky enough to have an outdoor pool but you went ahead to have one right in your house without paying adequate precaution to prevent accidents like this. Their eyes should have constantly been on the little boy. Why didn’t they barricade the pool or use a pool cover or something? Truly If I was the mother of that child, my mind would never be at rest knowing that such dangers abound in the home. My eyes would never be off the boy, I’d monitor his every movement. It takes four minutes for a human being to drown so for a whole four minutes, they didn’t know where their son was and it didn’t come to their minds that he might have wandered off to the pool. I can only imagine the pain and fear the little boy went through before he died.
I’m not trying to sound insensitive or blame them but the fact still remains this could have been avoided. Painfully so. I can only imagine the trauma the mother is going through. Not just because of his death but the fact that she might be blaming herself for what happened.
It is well with them. The best thing is to see this as God’s will.
This is really sad! May God comfort the family.
DeleteRip to the cute little one.
OMG!..THIS IS SO PAINFUL!...R.I.P LITTLE ADORABLE!....CHAI !!!. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Delete@ beds and roses. not really you can have a functioning pool but all your kids should know how to swim. it sone less way to die. here in UK SWIMMING starts at 6 MONTHS. Secondly a pool with toddlers should have a gate around it. especially Nigeria where you can easily build. A GATE AROUND IT IS VERY NECESSARY.
Delete@beloved THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN TO ME SO DON’T SAY IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. I SEE THINGS, BAD OR GOOD, IN DREAMS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN AND I BLOCK IT WITH PRAYERS AND FASTING. IT IS A GIFT I HAVE HAD LONG BEFORE I MARRIED AND I USE IT NOW TO HELP MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. We are not all the same in this life. Nothing bad can just enter my own home anyhow. From where? Bawo?
DeleteEwuuu chimoooo 😧😩😤😱😭😭😓😓. I am so heart broken. May his cute soul rest in peace.
DeleteThe pool is an inside pool, that has no door, like it’s around his walk way, haba how would you have an indoor pool that has no door that leads to it, just open like that. Accessible to anyone.
DeleteThey found his son way after he had died, even if a 1year old knows how to swim he will not last long cus swimming is tiring, you can’t swim for 30min straight without rest even as an adult let alone a 1year old, even if he is a fish. They are lucky they are not abroad cus na child services they would have been dealing with.
The child felt comfortable going to the pool cus he has seen his parents take him there on many occasions, the issue isn’t not teaching them to swim but keeping harmful things away from their reach, I heard timaya also has an in door pool, abeg o, effizy isn’t so serious
I am not blaming anyone cus you can never be too careful with kids but let’s try our best. Lord Jesus please protect our kids amen
Rip lil angel
No matter wether you teach them how to swim or not you have to be extra careful....my 8 year old just got his 100m certificate last summer but I still let him know he can’t jump into any pool without supervision or asking me first. Even professional swimmers have been know to drown, so you can’t take any chances.
DeleteRIP to the little one, I pray his mother strength to keep going even with all the blame.
I feel so sad, hearing this yesterday and reading it's a little angel that died .
DeleteMay he rip, this is negligence.
Am so sad right now.
“you can’t swim for 30min straight without rest even as an adult let alone a 1year old, even if he is a fish.” Talk to the athletes like Phelps, Peaty, Thorpe etc. Some people who aren’t even athletes can swim for long. All they need is to come up for fresh air when they get tired. With toddlers who can swim, they can float to avoid drowning. Yes they will get tired after some time and tragedy can happen.
DeleteI just heard this, and it broke my heart. RIP to the little boy. May God comfort dbanj and his wife. So heartbreaking.
DeleteNmasinachi.
I was going to leave on a video he posted weeks ago about the swimming area not having a door or not having a cover as they have a toddler but decided against it. If you have toddlers/kids, everything in your house should be child proof including cabinets and doors because these kids are fast and smart. May his gentle little soul RIP.
DeleteSo painful....RIP little Angel.
ReplyDeleteRip little angel. I leave all questions to God and not man.
DeleteRIP to the cute boy. May God comfort his parents. Thinking of how he struggled under water before giving up brought tears to my eyes. May God protect our young ones and grant them long life.
DeleteOh my...very painful. May God heal their hearts and comfort them the only way He knows to do.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sdk posted yesterday that a celebrity lost a child, I was silently praying God should turn things around.
ReplyDeleteOMG, why him,???The innocent and harmless cute baby. I have been devastated since yesterday. I know what ttc means and the feeling of 9months, then nurturing a baby to grow. This is so heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔.
May God console you and your wife. This is really a trying period. Why my
favourite.stay strong koko master.
May he rest in peace. 😢 😢 😢
RIP king Daniel the third
😔 😔
If his death were to be out of natural cause it wouldn't be this painful. The deep pain in my heart is because it's a careless death. I am not blaming anyone just saying it's just TOO PAINFUL TO BEAR. I pray TIME TRULY HEAL THIS WOUND.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
DeleteNatural or accidental an angel is gone. Loss is loss.May his blessed soul rest in peace.
DeleteMay God comfort them in this difficult time!
ReplyDeleteI pray for strength, courage and wisdom for them to pass through this phase.
May this not break them but rather make them strong for each other.
And may this not break their home.
So sorry Koko master.
Rest on little angel 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Amen to your prayers.
DeleteThis is painful. My God Almighty console them.
Amen
DeleteRIP little Angel as the tears won't stop flowing from my eyes...
ReplyDeleteI literally held my daughter and wept. It is painful thinking about losing a child not to talk of actually losing a child.
DeleteIm in shock.
ReplyDeleteHow that boy must have gasped for breath. It wasn't his time.
Im a mother, I am devasted, barely caught some sleep, just kept imagining.
They should keep a close watch on his wife.
God please console them.
This is not the time for analysing and blame games.
Jesus!!!!🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
I tell you iphim
DeleteI couldn't sleep, I was blaming myself why I went back to I.G last night. I am totally heartbroken.
To think dbanj is even out of the country.
Its terrible iphie. Just too sad. Didi really needs the closest supervision right now. That woman will be in pain.Gods comfort to them
DeleteThey need to really watch her.
DeleteAnd no one is allowed to blame her or his father.
They are blaming themselves multiple times in their head already.
No one should even tell them to "move on".
This hurts me personally...
May God comfort them.
"And no one is allowed to blame her or his father.
DeleteThey are blaming themselves multiple times in their head already.
No one should even tell them to "move on"."
Thank you for this comment Bipolar. Wish Nigerians knw=ew how to console someone in mourning, but many don't. Better to say nothing than say something annoying or negativ or apportion blame. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Sometimes the best thing is to say nothing and just stay in their silence with them. Then go home and pray for them. They must be blaming themselves so much already. This is really sad.
'How that boy must have gasped for breath. It wasn't his time.'
DeleteSoooo heart wrenching. God!!!
I barely caught sleep till very early this am. Rip lil cute one.
Women you see how lovely kids are and how painful their deaths can be then why do you now Abort just because a Man refuse to accept the baby. PLEASE STOP ABORTION,STOP KILLING INNOCENT KIDS. DBANJ GOD WILL BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TRYING TIMES.
DeleteMy people the kind of nightmarish sleep I had last night was something else.
DeleteYes Olori they say hes not at home.
Omeh my heart is heavy.
BIPOLAR ME, Infact that pool will have to disappear for them to be sane again.
I just pray D’banj doesn't blame that woman. They need so much love right now.
Ofcourse abroad this would be treated as a posibble homicide first before the parents are let off. Its routine.
Let everyone just learn from this and put them in prayers. I have had my own little experience and this has even opened my eyes the more.
DeleteI just feel so much pity for that little boy.
Home accidents do happen. You can only try your best as a parent. Even accidental drowning can happen in a bath-tub.
You've said it all Bed and Roses.
DeleteSandy its the topic of discussion right now. People are shook!
Well said @BIPOLAR ME.
DeleteThis is not the time to apportion blame.
All of you that ‘barely slept’ through the night must be very close family members!
DeleteAs in!!! I don’t know them personally but I CAN’T get over this shock!
DeleteI couldn't sleep too Olori. The thought of it was just on my mind. I saw it late on Naira land and I was like this what Stella was talking about. This is sad, very sad. My heart bleed for their lost.
DeleteOlorun atu won ninu. Afi Omo mi ropo. Anu ikunle Abiyamo se mi.
This Iphie can be so melodramatic. Puulease!
DeleteAnon 13.34 you are SPOT ON! For a minute I actually thought iphie dearie was AUNTY to the child involved🙄 🚶♀️. Oloun o ni je ki a gbe eru eleru sori, ka fa ti wa dani, Amin e po!!
DeleteAnon 9.42 you are so right. Even the women doing abortion every other month too are putting mouth and wailing more than the bereaved. God is so patient. Maybe that is the reason why they couldn’t sleep well overnight and those that slept say they are having nightmares, the spirits of the children they are aborting are haunting them.
Delete@ anonymous 13:34, 😂 I’m telling you. Which kain homicide? Is someone the cause of the death that it’ll be considered homicide? You just want to talk. Hian
DeleteThis is so heartbreaking 💔. I can’t even believe that cute boy is dead. May God console them and give them reasons to smile again🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteO ga o. My condolences
ReplyDeleteOMG what a careless situation. May his soul rest in peace Amen
ReplyDeleteVery careless indeed!
DeleteOh my God
ReplyDelete😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Chai this is sad Rip lil daniel.
ReplyDeleteOh my God😞😩😢 RIP to the little one
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord comfort their hearts. Stella what did you say yesterday? Ok, I hear u
ReplyDeletePainful exit. So sad 😭💔💔💔. May God console Dbanj and family. Rest in peace little Angel.
ReplyDeleteJesus strengthen them.RIP little Engel
ReplyDeleteSo sad.May God console the family.
ReplyDeleteDid I hear drown.... Father Lord. How did it happened?? May God console them in this trying time.
ReplyDeleteParents need to be very watchful over their little ones. This just broke me into piece.
Jesus strengthen them.RIP little Angel.
ReplyDeleteSo sad,heartbreaking and painful.
ReplyDeleteMay God grant the family the fortitude to bear this loss. So painful and heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteI'm short of words 😭😭😢😢😢😢
ReplyDeleteMay God give them the fortitude to bear the loss..
This messed up my day. Sad!
Oh my God.. .where were they? May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteIf I was close to him, I'd get his other group of friends to pay for multiple therapy sessions for Dbanj and his wife. Over 70% of marriages can't survive the loss of a child. It is important that they stick together to preserve the boy's memory. I pray that God presents His Grace to them at this trying moment.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, have you noticed the nonsense trend of people criticising rich folks all of a sudden. Talking about how they "neglect" their children. Awon iya aye. Child welfare experts are calling for his arrest on nairaland. Wasn't it on this blog that somebody gave their child gin to drink. They did not call for the arrest of that one. All those illiterate northern people who refuse to immunize their children boo? they are not neglecting their children. It is Dbanj own una fit carry for head. Coven people.
I thought to myself...If they were abroad, they would have had more than just mourning to deal with. Social services would have been on their back by now. But really, toddlers can be very swift to naughtiness. There's really no parent who hasnt had an oversight at least once.
DeleteOver 70%? Where did you get that stat from? Just throwing up numbers anyhow.
DeleteMay God bless the little boy’s soul and console his parents.
How rich folks neglect their kids. Really????
DeleteWhat about all the parents that sends a child of 5 to go drop his junior siblings in school on foot and even those that put their 3 and 1yr old on a bike unaccompanied. Not even thinking of safety or the bike man kidnapping them.
Or is it those that make their 6/7 hawk from street to street from dusk till dawn meanwhile the mother is at home gossiping with her face me I face you neighbours.
8 hrs late. Keep up SDK
ReplyDeleteMy dear this news heavy for mouth and hand.
DeleteWho will be eager to post it now?
Im sure most bloggers had to even sit on it until D’banj confirmed on his IG page.
This kind of news is not palatable one bit.
She should keep up with bad news abi? Truly, as one miserable person said down there some of us get too excited about bad news.
DeleteYou do know stella broke this news before everyone but didn't mention names? scroll down the page and see for yourself.Other bloggers came late not Stella.
DeleteBank
Definitely not palatable, sdk actually carried it last night. She just didn't give the full details of people involved
DeleteNigerians your food(BAD NEWS) don land o, make una come chop! It is only bad news they will spread all over the world with their useless ‘eh-yaaaaaa’ greeting ! See them putting black pictures all over Instagram, meanwhile when you get car gift only a handful will congratulate and share the picture! If there is a next life I have told God I MUST NOT COME BACK TO THIS HORRIBLE CONTINENT FILLED WITH DARK SOULS!
ReplyDeleteDrink some water please.
DeleteAnon, you're so right.
DeleteYou’re equating the loss of a child to a Car gift right??? No, you are the one with a dark soul! God forgive you
DeleteYou must be very stupid! Share pictures of your stupid car gift because?
DeleteO please stop being facetious. A tragedy just occured and nothing melts and united human hearts like a tragedy. It has nothing to do with jealousy it's just human nature. Why must comment on a post where sb was gifted with a car gift? How's that my business. But a fellow human being lost his only child in a tragic accident and you expect that most people won't be moved? Go sit down with your over-analytical brain.
DeleteAnon 13.39 THEREIN LIES MY PROBLEM WITH YOU ALL, it is only bad news that ‘move’ you lot. Good news never moves you to be ‘happy’ for those involved and SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS. A collection of wicked, dark hearted people.
DeleteThis is so sad. RIP to the little one. Holy Spirit will console you and the family.
ReplyDeleteKai!!!!! God!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteR.I.P Daniel
OMG. Dont know what to say again
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I'm speechless right now...
DeleteSo many things going through my mind..... hmmm! May God console them.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in shock.. Like what!!!! This is so sad. I can't. This news is too heavy to even talk about. I'm still trying to accept it. Just like that. May God be their comforter and strengthener cos only he can.. Only him.
ReplyDeleteThis is really painful, may the almighty comfort them.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of carelessness is this??...
ReplyDeleteWTF is wrong with some parents?...
You have a pool in your house but it’s not secured when you have a toddler??...
Why leave your child outside the house unattended?...
Dem no get nanny?...
What kind of story is this?..
So many questions!...
I see some parents leaving their kids playing and running around at the car park!...
When something bad happens,they will blame the devil!...
My children are all grown but I still protect them!!..
This is so painful!...
The worst thing that can happen to a mother!,,.
I just put my self in their shoes and I don’t know if I would survive!...
RIP little one😩😩😩😩
I must agree with you on this! What is a toddler doing in the pool area unguarded? Why didn't they build transparent fence round the pool, to avoid calamity like this!
DeleteI also put myself in their shoes and I don't know if I will survive such...
Goosebumps...
Heartbroken 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No need to apportion blames at this time but this is truly d height of carelessness.
DeleteI watched one clip he posted just after d boys bday pix over and over last night on ig. You needed to see d way d boy was looking and was walking towards d pool b4 d dad dragged him back and continued walking straight. That alone should have told u he will always want to go/play towards there on his own and keep a serious eye watch. Haba!
Which one is building pool right inside a home again and no longer outside abi its d new technology?? Oh Chim!!!
I honestly feel for dem. May his soul rest in perfect peace, amen. Kai!!!
The pool is even in the house, not like it is gated outside.
DeleteThis reminds me of a post about hazards and what not to have around kids posted here recently.
Obi agbawalam true
Ever heard of the word domestic accident? This can happen to anybody..the most watchful of parents have lost thier children under the most careful circumstances.....you are not God and you cannot dictate what might have been in this case....the family is already going through so much pain....pray for them instead.
Deletejust shut your smelling mouth , there is a time and place for nonsense
Deletenot today and not no . you dont have the full story so for once shut your mouth
The pool seems to be indoor one. And the way it's decorated or set up from photos seems very inviting, cozy & looks like it's a mere Jacuzzi, and they even put nice framed pictures & souvenirs around it, with Dbanj logo in the middle of the pool. Mind u todlers & babies drown all the time in bathubs, even sick adults too like Whitney Houston & her daughter had drowned in an ordinary bathtub.
DeleteEvery pool where there r children must be covered all the time!!! Don't ever allow kids to wander off near pool of water that can drown them, it takes only less than 2 minutes for a child to drown in deep water.
Carelessness & ignorance is bad thing & can result in quick death.
My sister you just typed all i wanted to type.
DeleteNo maid? How did a one yr old go outside the house to the pool area? Oh my God!
I'm so devastated by this news.
Maybe the mum was not around.
Pls let's not blame her or the father.They must be feeling bad already.
I so pity them right now.
I don't have a pool in my house but i think the pool should always be dry when not in use and there should always be a barricade since toddlers are in that same house.
As in.... too many questions.
DeleteI watched RHOA when Kandi Buruss got a trainer to teach her toddler how to swim, i thought she was overreacting. But now i truly understand why. If you have a pool in your house (protected or not) a toddler might want to get in out of natural curiousity.
I pray their marriage survives this. I pray they find grace to forgive themselves. And please, let's take health and safety measures seriously, even in our homes. You see open cables, careless matches kept in the kitchen, bad flooring and even unlocked freezers can catch a curious toddlers attention.
Please don't be insensitive,was anyone here there when ths happend?how can you say she was careless?as a mother u know a second of taking your eyes off can cause an havoc but is it possible to be there all the time?why was it now that his dad is not home?PLEASE be sensitive,there's def more than it is to us out here,nobody is all seeing except GOD and He alone knows why He let this happen!!!
DeleteI read on another blog in the comment section, someone said Didi and her son were swimming, when they say she blanked out and the boy was in the pool with her and he drowned. They say she is currently in ICU in a specialist hospital in Ikoyi battling for her life.
DeleteI am queen and boss please shut the FUCK UP! for christ sake who the hell do you think you are?? People have lost a child, they are in mourning and this nonsense is what you write for them and their families to read at this time???? do you even have sense? keep your reservations to your godamn self!!! you are one to talk, with all comments here you do runs, do jazz and have zero home training. who cares about your dirty family or how you 'protect' your children? STUPID!!!! This is what happens when scum have internet access.
DeleteLike I said earlier, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO APPORTION BLAME!
DeleteWhy do some of you lack empathy?
“Rubynia WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to dictate what people should say or not say, you are overestimating your relevance here. Everyone cannot be stupidly sentimental at the same time, sensible people will ask questions about this incident. Ode
DeleteNew technology? You’ve never heard of indoor pools before? Some of you are so insensitive. Do not apportion blame.
DeleteI don think we are in any position to start criticising whoever till we know what actually happened. Even kids can drown in a drum of water. I know a man that the kid usually tries to climb the drum of water in the bathroom. Even bucket sef depending on how they fall in. Right now it’s to console with the parents. Not time to be lambasting up and down. And for those saying pools are in the house, the only thing wrong is if there is not enough barricade to prevent accidents.

DeleteSo so sad don't want to imagine what they are going through. May the good Lord comfort them rip Daniel such a cute boy.
ReplyDeleteDevastated and shocked doesn’t begin to describe how I feel. I just pray for strength for them all. It’s unfortunate
ReplyDeleteThis is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless DBanj and his wife the fortitude to bear the painful loss.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sober reflection, and I guess someone will now see why grandparents will go mad if anything scratches their grandchildren. They were just being over protective, even your own parents too will do same.
Chei! This is really a sad news. May God give the parents the fortitude to bear this great loss...sad face.
ReplyDeleteRip to the cutie
ReplyDeleteI'm lost for words...why oh why!? This is too much. Bangalee be strong! My condolences to you and your family, especially your wife.
DeleteI cried so hard yesterday when I heard this. The pain the family is passing through right now cannot be imagine. I lost my little niece last year, she was just 2, it felt as if my heart was breaking into pieces. I just pray Dbanj and his wife get over this, and they should not place blames cos this will either make or break them. After all said and done, who are we to question the creator.
ReplyDeleteRip to the little one.so sad
ReplyDeletei dont know them personally ,but i cant control this tear.
ReplyDeleteA little Angel ,are children of that age allowed in a swimming pool？
I cant just imagine the parents pain,the had i known.......O JESUS this is too painful.
RIP little Angel.
RIP little Daniel, may d Lord give dbang n didi d strength..n may we never have d cause to cry over our children IJN
ReplyDeleteRip little cutie...i was so broken last night
ReplyDeleteCan't even imagine what Dbanj and family are going through right now
May God give them fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss
Oh...that kid was such a cutie
This is so sad!!! Rest on well baby...
ReplyDeleteThere are some news so sad you wish you didn't even hear it.
ReplyDeleteCos it just takes away your appetite.
Dear Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
I swear I regret opening IG last night. Almost wishing the family had kept this a secret. It’s that sad.
DeleteRip baby
ReplyDeleteSo painful. Very sad news. Rip lil angel. It is well.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace cute little one..
ReplyDeletewhat kind of news is this ,this early morning,chai this really spoilt my mood,ha that cute boy is gone, I know its not the parents wish ,they would have exchanged anything to have him back.rip little one.God please give them another baby soon,the one that will stay with them
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad. May we not die before our parents and may our children not die before us. In Jesus Name. It's ok to ask why and how. If it were in developed countries if someone's negligence caused this, he or she will be brought to justice. There is no emotion in bring criminal negligence to justice. To all the folks with swimming pool and children, there is a way it's done in the countries we copy. You cover it and if necessary drain the water. You also never allow minors like a year old! Near that sort of place. Yes, in grief, the law must take its course. American justice does not care if you are the father or mother or Aunty. Whoever was negligent should be brought to justice.
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort the parents!
RIP little angel. My condolences to your parents. So sad
ReplyDeleteRest well in the Lord's bosom little Daniel. May God comfort and keep this family.
ReplyDeleteMost marriages don't survive the loss of a child, they need to be strong for each other and not play the blame game.
My prayer is: may this incident not break their marriage, amen.
DeleteI'm so heart broken, May God give you both the fortitude to bear this loss.
ReplyDeletethis is so sad, may God comfort the family💔💔💔
ReplyDeleteI am angry, I am so sad. It gives me nightmares. I have had 2 kids that I know, who drowned & died in a pool. Another was almost;, the paramedics said 2mins more under the water, the child might have survived but will be a vegetable. The child was 3y/o and mom was running her mouth on the phone without realizing that the little cutie has fallen in to the pool. She survived.
ReplyDeleteI fight all the time with family and friends about having or installing a pool when your pikin them still dey small small ! The wives put my name in the gossip pot that I dey jealous, no problem. My take on this is lets not use our own hands to create or install something that might take the life of our kids. The ones we can avoid and prevent , make we do our best as parents to prevent and leave the unforseable mishaps for God to handle through his mercy.
God comfort these two parents,may your mercy abound . May they survive this raging tempest. Jesus oooo!mmmmh mmmmh mmmmh!
This news so broke my heart, chai what a sad 😔 news.. . . RIP little one.
ReplyDeleteI have not been myself since I saw the news last night
ReplyDelete@inverter battery buyer. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN YOURSELF SINCE YOU SAW THE NEWS LAST NIGHT! You are a very close family friend I presume🙄
DeleteAnon 10.59 you must be high so until you are close to someone that is when you can feel the person's pain? How crazy are you that you don't know when to draw the line?
DeleteBee 10 mummy twins🤔 I WILL NOT SHRED YOU TO PIECES ONLY BECAUSE I AM A TWIN. I will let this slide.
DeleteSo sad, RIP David,please take heart.May God give you all the fortitude to bear the loss, its well
ReplyDeleteI have been devastated since I heard the sad news yesterday. Couldn't even sleep all through the night. I already called the office I'm not coming to work today. I lost a son in 2010 aged a year and 6 months. It took me years to get over his death. I pray that the good God we serve will comfort this family.
ReplyDeleteWhen I built my house, I almost built a swimming pool but considering I have all boys and knowing how hyperactive they are, I cancelled the plan. As parents, whatever we do, we must consider safety first. The pool should have been fenced with self closing and self locking gate because a child could easily stray without anyone noticing.
RIP Daniel.
Anon 9.55 YOU COULD NOT SLEEP THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, YOU WERE DEVASTATED, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WORK TODAY! Something is wrong with you, it is one of these three things: you are related to dbanj OR you killed the baby Daniel OR you are just being melodramatic. Please pick one🙄 jeez you people are just EXTRA 🚶♀️
Delete@anon 10.08- DID YOU READ WHERE THE PREVIOUS ANON SAID S/HE LOST A SON IN 2010? HOW CALLOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF YOU TO COMMENT AS YOU'VE JUST DONE. DID IT NOT OCCUR TO YOU THAT THE DEATH OF POOR DANIEL MIGHT HAVE TRIGGERED MEMORIES THAT BURDENED THE POSTER SO MUCH, WORK BECAME AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK? WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR CONSCIENCE?
DeleteAnon, She lost a son. Did you read that part?
DeleteYour num 4 point should be: Have you lost a child?
Don’t be a smart ass!

DeleteI don't think it is related to any of the above. the posted stated that he/she lost a baby of similar age. it only brought back memories. Let's not pray to find ourselves here.

Anon 10:08, don't be insensitive. Just because you have data. People have lost their humanity. To loose a child is not a joke.
DeleteAnon 10:08 You are the one that something BIG is wrong with. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!! Every sensitive person is heartbroken by this news.. Get a conscience.
DeleteAnon 9:55. It is well... Please don't slip into depression because of bad memories of your loss. Try to distract yourself, listen to good music.
Cheers!
What an idiotic 10.08. Your assumptions are just silly like you and No I am not the annon, ewu.
DeleteAnon 10:08,you sound dumb and overly dramatic yourself. I have never lost a child but the news shook me so much that I have not allowed my toddler out of my sight since I woke. Now, Imagine how traumatised someone who's had a similar experience would be at this point. Grow a brain!

DeleteAnonymous 10:46, my apologies.
Just can't stand insensitive people.
@anon 10.46 @ iphie dearie, why are you getting your knickers in a twist? You must be a very close family members, I presume, that’s why you are both hyperventilating! Hope you put this much passion into YOUR OWN LIVES ! 🙄🚶♀️
DeleteStupid Anon. Get away. You are insensitive and clearly lack common sense.
DeleteIf only Stellz can stop registering/approving comments under "Anons".. We need real identities, if possible faces of BVs as we re more like family on this blog... R.I.P Daniel!!!
DeleteWhen I was building my mansion in Abuja I wanted to install a swimming pool but considering my kids are good swimmers but were young I did not put the pool. This mishap with little Daniel was caused by utter carelessness not just yesterday but from when he was born. No foresight to forestall such tragedy by the parents.
DeleteAnon 16.44 God bless you for saying this BUT be ready for all the piranha teeth women to start talking rubbish about how this is not the time to apportion blame, especially that piranha called Rubynnia on this blog, I don’t know who died and made her queen of this blog, going up and down commanding people to only ‘gnash their teeth and tear their garments’ in mourning. Thanks for being so objective anon 26.44
DeleteTo think that the little man died in severe pains saddens my heart.My condolence once again.
ReplyDeleteThis hurts so deeply. I'm not related to them but this cut through my heart like a knife. May the Lord comfort his children in this moment of excruciating pain. Rest in peace little Daniel. 😭😭😭
ReplyDelete@roseflower. This cut through your heart like a knife! 🙄 you people are melodramatic. Thank you for letting us know you are not related to them.🚶♀️
DeleteMy heart has been in pains since I read this news last night.
ReplyDeleteDeath by drowning has to be one of the worst ways to die. Ah! God! I can imagine how that boy felt. This is so painful.
Why not a painless death if he must die? Why this torture. It's unimaginable how his family must be feeling right now
RIP, Young man. Rest in the bossom of the lord
Nothing left to say....I'm just speechless😢😥. May God strengthen them at this trying time.
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t stop crying, my heart hurts so I badly, all I could imagine is the little chunky cute booboo taking in so much water, struggling and watching the door hoping mummy or daddy will come and save him...
ReplyDelete@kerry okoye, how morbid can u get! Even as you could not stop crying as a very close family member that you are, you still entertained such morbid thoughts of a drowning baby! Wow! 🙄🚶♀️
DeleteVery sick twisted analysis.
DeleteThis is really sad!! RIP to the little one
ReplyDeleteDear dbanj/ close frinds of him and his wife. if you ever get to read this RIP to the baby. it happened t me too but you will be happy again. for the future, we hear its and indoor pool so how about a toddler gate at any door to the pool? That should help.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, most families don't survive the loss of a child especially in such circumstances. No need asking too many questions as they are already asking those too. I pray God grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
ReplyDeleteI weep for Didi cos I know she will blame herself so much, it's not gonna be easy but they should go for therapy and try their best to move on.
They might eventually need to sell off the house and go live somewhere else, cos as long as they keep seeing that pool, they will keep imaginings their son struggling for his life in there.
RIP to the little lad.
DeleteThis is so sad, most families don't survive the loss of a child especially in such circumstances. Do you know what most means?
Yes they would most likely sell the house.... would be the best option.
DeleteThe earth lost a soul, heaven gained an Angel. God's Grace to dbanj and didi. They'll have many more kids by God's grace. This is the most painful thing that can happen to a parent. It's practically unbearable. This news just left a very sour taste in my mouth. 😢
ReplyDelete@nina chocomilo, WASH YOUR MOUTH WITH PLAX OR LISTERINE. The sourness will go. Thank me NOW.
DeleteAnon 11:21 Are you depressed? Are you the devil himself?? WTF!!!!!
DeleteWhy have you decided to sleep on this post harassing people?
Iphie dearie CHECK YOURSELF INTO A PSYCH WARD ASAP before you tear your clothes without realizing what you are doing!
DeleteOnye ara always thinks others are mad😁
DeleteGreet your ward mates for me.
My aunt has always said that she will not put a pool in her house and this was her reason. May Almighty God please receive the soul of the little angel in paradise and give his parents the strength to bear the loss. Amen.
ReplyDeleteThat’s how Samuel Kuffour’s baby drowned in their pool in Accra. When you have a pool you must have your eyes on your kids all the time.
ReplyDeleteYesterday night was so gloomy! I couldn't sleep! At work now with tears in my eyes. That child is my baby's age mate! I'm devastated. That indoor pool was a major hazard! Especially with a toddler, it's a good survival skill to teach a child to swim I swear down! Houses should be baby proofed constantly as the baby grows. ..but accidents still happen, we can only hope on God while we do our best! Had they known .. I said a prayer for them especially diddy, I pray they can gradually get past this incident together. My heart bleeds so i can imagine what they are going through. Too painful. 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
ReplyDelete@chuluv YOU COULD NOT SLEEP THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, AT WORK WITH TEARS IN YOUR EYES! You must be a very close family member. You are many on stella’s Blog that did not sleep a wink cos of this. Wow!
DeleteThis is so devastating, heartbreaking. May God comfort and console them. Oh, what a loss!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad a story....
ReplyDelete@rubynia, you are an earthworm that salt has been sprinkled on! 🚶♀️
ReplyDeleteCan people just stop this questioning how do you know no one was even in the pool with him . However it happened a soul is lost let’s pray for them
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Like I said yesterday no parent should experience this. Regrets will abound I know. May they pull through this together.
ReplyDeleteDidi kilgrow???
ReplyDeleteSorry darling, but change your name asap
Olori oriente, it wrong to ask WHY this person or WHY that person when someone dies. who should it have been YOU? Leave questions to God
ReplyDeletePls Be Strong Dapo.May d good Lord Grant ur Boy Enternal Rest and Grant Ur Family d Fortitude 2 bear ur Loss.
ReplyDelete*Sad*
Sad!! I hope they be able to survive this & move forward
ReplyDeleteChildren (aged1-3) should be watched very very closely because at this age bracket,they know how to walk and move about but they don’t know what is right..I sincerely hope this issue doesn’t break their marriage because there’s going to be a lot of blame games especially from Dbanjs folks.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere condolences to Dbanj and his wife in this very difficult time.
And they are extremely fast.
DeleteOne minute you see them here, next minute they are over there. Once they start walking, catching up becomes crazy
Toddlers!!!They are too too inquisitive.
DeleteOLORI ORENTE IT IS WRONG FOR YOU TO ASK WHY THIS PERSON OR WHY THAT PERSON IF SOMEONE DIES. IF NOT THAT PERSON AT THAT TIME, WHO SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN? YOU? LEAVE QUESTIONS TO GOD
ReplyDeleteI agree. Especially 'Why me?' So who should it be?
DeleteI'm not worried about dbanj blaming his wife didi, I think he loves her enough to support her and not let her break down. Their love will be stronger now.
ReplyDeleteWhom I don't trust is Dbanjs family members. I hope they don't go blaming the girl or making this thing something superstitious or calling her names. That kind of pressure from family members is what will be tough to deal with. So I pray Dbanj puts his foot down and not tolerate any nonsense talk from his family members about his wife. This was just an accident simple.
God will replace for them with twins by 2019 in Jesus name.
I lost a child in September 2013 and I haven't been the same. The loss of a child is a very painful experience and I am so saddened that D'bang and his wife have to experience this. Please nobody should blame them cos it will only add to their sorrows. It takes just a second for a child/toddler to get into a harmful situation. I pray God heals their broken heart and with time the heartrending pain will simmer into a dull ache. I doubt if the pain ever goes away though. Mine is still with me even after 5 years.
ReplyDeleteWhen a person says they did not sleep due to this news, I know they are either parents or close to their siblings or friends children. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child. Relationships struggle to be the same after such losses (even when the loss happened outside of both parties). I am a mother and when I saw the first story on Stella's blog without the name, I looked at my own child and wept. You whisper a prayer for the parents in pain and in our society, the mother who will have to take all the blame.
ReplyDeleteHuman beings struggle to find a reason for events so the blame placing is just that...people trying to make sense of things. However, an emotionally intelligent person should know that THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. The parents have asked and pondered 100 times over, they do not need anything but love.
Also, for those shouting if this were abroad they would be in jail. It does not work that way. Investigators and child protective services can differentiate between pure negligence and accidents.
For those sitting on their high horse, accidents can happen anywhere. You can never watch your child 24/7. Your children will hang out with friends, in relatives houses, with step parents etc. For those who believe in a higher power...just ask God to help your child and keep that child away from harm.
Lastly, the loss of a child is traumatic. Just like rape, in the Nigerian society women do not speak up about child loss because they are often blamed. I hope one day we mature as a people.
Yea... but an investigation will have been add to the mourning period. Still not good cos the bereaved might be incoherent.
DeleteI've seen where a toddler drown in a bucket of water before. Parents should be very watchful over their toddlers. They are very inquisitive at that age.
ReplyDeleteBucket!! My God....🙆♀️
DeleteGod please comfort dbanj and wife Amen.
