My mom used to say , I’m going home doesn’t allow someone to know who’s going back to the hut . I want to drink garri doesn’t allow you fathom who’s drinking with pepper & salt

Magodo, I never knew such houses are there .

The buildings are getting deep in from the surface, You would have think they would have jappa when it’s getting worse to this extent

The erosion , i’m Still trying to fathom out how they try to stop it or they being nonchalant .

This is so disheartening .
RIP

It happen in my area I wish rest in perfect peace

Magodo has very eroded land in some areas. I guess because it’s hilly somehow.

So sad...

... and the victims were like me, probably browsing and commenting and analyzing on happenings around as if an alien. But suddenly, it happened un-announced and like a dream it dawn on him/her whether he/she has been dreaming or the dream just started.

One can never tell when his last moment will be. Therefore, when things happen around you, see it as your happenings; don't blame, don't judge, don't praise, don't condemn. Yeah, it brings some kind of awareness and deep connection when you see yourself in every situation.

RIP to them
RIP to me

Curse nation, everything is just upside down
