Every state needs to take measures to avoid such tragedy. Every community and local government area need to take measures. Happy occasions cannot be allowed to become funerals. Let's all take on a mindset of safety consciousness.

ReplyDeleteReally unfortunate. 😌😌😌
ReplyDeleteMay God comfort their families... may their souls rest in peace
ReplyDeleteWhat is there to investigate? Hunger drove the people out of their bed to the venue when the organizers and sponsors were still on their bed and yet to put up crowd control resources. The event was scheduled at 10 am and I’m sure that was they planned to at least have their workers there by 8 am, who would Imagine that people were gathered at the venue and it was packed full at 5 am. Nigeria happened to them oh nothing else.it is laughable that both state and federal governments are investigating, and who will investigate the investigators? Where is police around or was there no security breach information to the police around that time. Standard practice for police to be stationed anywhere they suspect security breach, they don’t have to be called before they can station their cars around that premises. It is the state and government responsibility to safe guard the community before the event and during the event which was scheduled 10am.poor girl at queen Naomi, no one told her the level of massive hunger on ground. The government failed the people of Ibadan full stop. Later ask the people why they are japaing, in the name esteem world, police would be there to control the people and crowd before the time of the event. I see them stationed at large churches abroad.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right
DeleteGod Please.

All The Organisers wanted was to give Back to Innocent Children unfortunately Hunger in the Land Turned the Occassion to Misery . Tainting and taunting a Good Gesture.
