  1. This is so horrible. Why have they not learned anything from previous events and open giveaways and the problem they create. How many times will this happen before ppl get it. Last year it was rice, same loss of lives, now it’s children.

    Creating order and crowd control needs to be done at these events. And that does not mean just having security, it has to be built into the event, if it cost a little bit more to avoid tragedy then so be it.

    May the souls of those who lost their lives rest in peace.

    1. Well, we know now her azz ain’t no real prophetess, that’s for sure. I have nothing against her but this is an epic tragedy and it appears that the so-called “fun fair” lacked proper organization. May be another case of monies being diverted into the pockets of unscrupulous individuals instead of being spent on proper organization and ensuring order and safety. Time will reveal.

      I hope a full and complete investigation is done into this. Accountability and restitution needs to be enforced.

  12. It's very sad, they never envisaged it would turn out this way. I read it that 30 children has lost their lives. So sad.

  13. Ooni of Ife's ex wife, Queen Naomi is the owner of the event. It's such a pity.
    Stella, the event had not yet started when the stampede started. Hundreds of people slept over at the venue of the event so they will get gifts early.

    1. I know of a few cases where events were cancelled when the organizers realized that they would not be able to control the event, or there was a fire code violation because more ppl showed up than were permitted to safely be in the building. I really wished someone had the presence of mind to cancel the even when they saw the size of the crowd.

      This is one reason I don’t really do free events. I hate massive crowds and events that promise free prizes and gifts, cause ppl act funny and go wild.

  14. The conveners of these kinds of events should always make sure that there is proper organization to forstall this kind of tragedy.
    Even though they meant well,see how it turned out.
    May the souls of the departed,rest in perfect peace.

  15. This is so sad. May their young souls rest in peace. It's lack of organisation. The giving back to the community organised by my church was with a gate pass,to avoid stampede. 😌😌😌

  16. This is so sad. It's unfortunate that better crowd control measures weren't in place to prevent this.
    Do organisers ever learn?

    1. The event was for children. Those that have kids took their kids there. What would Pinky and wife be doing there?

  18. This is sad.

    The event was aired days before on radio, they knew the crowd will be massive. Crowd control should have been enforced.

    God, this is so painful .
