these deaths are the highest number of south Africans that have died in a group outside their country in recent times?

Well I can believe that. South African rarely travel out of their country. Unlike most Africans, they're so content with living within their country.

If 67 SA'ians died in the collapse, then the dead will be in their 100's

olaeffect: This is very sad.

Something I see here however is a country that has value for its citizens. If it were Nigerians that died in such manner in another country we will not even know. When we even have people dying daily like that here at home on daily basis.

We need to place more value on human life.

R.I.P to the dead.
don't blame the govt but Nigerian travellers .. some travel with fake documents and what not

Not caused by a jet, neither by Boko Haram; but simply by the fact that the building was overburdened by construction of additional floors. This is the engineering assessment of the situation.
God bless you oo.. Some pple would come here and say y did he not see it. Y didn't he prophecy abt it. When it was obviously a structural defect. Which must have been giving different signs but must have been ignored. Is it today plane have been filling over buildings.

The rate at which our politicians, religious leaders, CEO of industries, security agencies etc. sacrifice the life of people to greed, negligence, power, money, women etc in Nigeria is disheartening.
I don't blame them though. I blame the gullible followers and miracle seekers who have hands but cannot work, who have eyes but cannot see and, who have brains but but surrender them to rustiness.

Is there no god in SA that 67 of their nationals travelled all d way to Nigeria in search of god. Never knew that South Africans are also mumus when it comes to religion.

If TB Joshua wasnt a man of influence, he would have been arrested, tried and sentenced possibly to death for his crime. Yet he walks freely waiting for the right time to perform his miracles.

Re: Death toll of South Africans Killed In Nigeria Megachurch Collapse rises to 84 by Nobody: 8:34am On Sep 17, 2014
I dunno if it's just me but when I watched the video of the collapse. The way it went down was similar to the way 9/11 collapsed.

Anyways he did make a response:

NIGERIAN preacher and televangelist TB Joshua on Sunday linked a deadly building collapse at his Lagos megachurch to a suspicious aircraft but rescue workers ruled out the theory of foul play.

Mr Joshua, who is dubbed "The Prophet" by his followers because of his purported predictions and healing powers, showed footage of the moments leading up to the collapse on his emmanuel.tv network.

Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency said 42 people were killed in Friday’s incident, and 130 had escaped or were pulled out alive from the building rubble.

In the security camera footage, apparently from opposite the vast church compound, what is described as an aircraft is seen over the building four times at 12.30pm South African time, 12.43pm, 12.45pm and 12.54pm.

The uncompleted building, five floors of which are visible above a high wall, is then seen to collapse at 2:44pm, throwing up huge clouds of dust into the air.

"After the incident, the strange aircraft does not return," a commentary accompanying the images adds.

There was no independent verification of the authenticity of the footage but Mr Joshua has said he would make it available to Nigeria’s security agencies.

His Synagogue Church of All Nations is located in Ikotun, near Lagos international airport.

Mr Joshua’s theory about the low-flying plane featured in a number of Nigerian newspapers on Sunday. But the emergency management agency’s southwest co-ordinator Ibrahim Farinloye rejected claims of sabotage and said extra floors were being added to the building without changing the foundations.

"If it were an act of terrorism or sabotage, it would have gone into rubble," he said.
