9 Dead, Many Injured As Fire Engulfs Rann Idps Camp by 10Ebisco: 6:46pm On Mar 26, 2018
Six weeks after the Islamic militants, Boko Haram attacked Rann in Kala Balge local government area of Borno State, another disaster has hit the internally displaced persons, IDPs, camp.

This is following an outbreak of fire, which killed nine people and injured many others in the camp.

According to Suleiman Ajiya, who spoke with DAILY POST on the development on Monday, the IDPs had been left with nothing after the United Nations withdrew its staff and support from that part of the state.

“Our people have been dying of hunger and starvation since the UN left. There is nothing to eat as the little that is available from government and well meaning Nigerians is not even enough for the women and children.

“There is also no medical care and people are now open to so many diseases due to hunger and starvation in the camp. Also lack of water has been a problem, which the people have been battling with.

“Today, at about 12 noon, there was a fire outbreak. Some people who were down due to hunger and its related sickness were choked. There was no water to fight the fire, thereby living no help for those who were trapped in the fire.

“We lost nine people with several others injured as a result of the fire incident this afternoon. We are calling for help for these people because they are really suffering for now,” Ajiya said.

What caused the fire out break ?
It is highly mind-failing to note that the Nigerian government cannot feed her citizens in desolate.
Yet we want to be in power...
And it is recorded that UN took their hands off and then the people suffered....

Someone says to stop calling Buhari’s name and rather focus on the 'big picture'...wonder what the hell that is but here goes:

Why are some of you so fixated on Buhari? There was boko haram and killer herdsmen before Buhari became president and if Buhari should go today that will not be the end of the killings in different parts of Nigeria. Try and look at the bigger picture.

After the false assurance given by the APC government they end up being IDPs.To add to their woes, the military jet bombed these poor hapless Nigerians.
Not long ago BH came calling again thereby forcing the few humanitarian organizations to withdrawal.Now left @ the mercy of the hopeless Nigerian government their lamentation continued.

How would you know when you believe that even dearth of rainfall in your village was caused by Buhari.

When nature takes its course it is clear, same way sensible people easily recognise and call out madness n failure personified by the skinny dullard.
