I can't understand the rationale behind your rants?
If Obi's visit does not have a political undertone, he ought to have steered
clear from the venue knowing fully well that the election is close by even being invited by the priest .

He went there to solicit for votes either by hooks or by crooks

The dead ones are gone and he had declared a three morning
for them as if it will bring them back to life

Okay!!

Let me take your mind to a deeper place.

Imagine that Night vigil with no Obi. Just a normal Night Vigil. It closes, and as people were exiting the venue, any of these happened;

1. Somebody shouts Snake
2. Somebody shouts Bomb
3. Somebody throws a fire cracker
4. Somebody just starts running

What do you think would happen?!




What we should be asking is;

1. Did the venue have proper crowd control measures in place?
2. Did the venue have enough exit points to accomodate the crowd that they had?
3. Were the members given any safety induction before the crusade started?!

These are the things we take for granted in churches. I have attended a church that had over 5000 capacity seating, yet had only 6 doors that were not that big. What if a fire broke out?! What is there was an emergency that required them all to exit?! Why are safety inductions not given in Churches? Why are safety signs pointing towards the exit, designated muster points, e.t.c not ever displayed in churches and other religous places of worship?

I think we as Nigerians should stop taking safety for granted. I am not going to take this political bait of throwing blames on people.. The blame lies squarely with the church.

freecocoa: I blame him, why has he never attended the crusade all these past years? Shey na now wey him dey campaign up and down him remember crusade? Didn't he know he was in Ngige's hometown? How dare he show his ugly face to tell people to vote against their son who is far better than him? Just what did he think will happen?abi him wan say he doesn't know that many Anambrarians don't like him because he is a wicked man?

He will pay for this, short man devil like him.

Nne biko chris ngige is not from uke, he is from alor

kingbang:

Do you have mental problems? Was post was for the bloody hypocritical APC touts that are playing politics with people's lives. Let them tell us if Obi made any campaign speech there or if any APGA flag was found there.

Yea, but mysteriously, he and Obiano was at the venue and you don't think its political.
Are you such a dullard !

My friend people have lost their lives, I think its time you and your likes shut up !

Ngige is from idemili LGA and uke is in idemili,ngige is emotionally attarched 2we anambrarians,generally loved by idemili people,so my question is why would obi show his face at idemili not 2tok of the prayer ground or did'nt he know he's like an outcast there,shameless politicians,mtchewww!!!

RIP to the dead

the blames should all go to peter obi,he caused it all,imagine campaigning in a vigil and in a town away from ngige's hometown where there is no government prescence at all,do you think the people will welcome you with open hands,the roads which uke people enjoy were built by ngige's administration even the 2km errosion ridden road leading to the ground was leveled to normalcy by ngige's contractors just last week yet ngige knows best than disrupting the ministry
when he promised to tar their roads in their roads in two weeks,that was when the booing took a higher crescendo,peter should just jejely apologise to ndi idemili and anambrarians as a whole

Mr Dumbo, get this into your thick skull.
1. Obi was invited by the priest to partake in the crusade.
2. He never made any campaign speech. Even Obiano didn't give any speech at all.
So because this is election period, does it mean Obi cannot go for a crusade? I personally would have blamed him if he had made campaign speech there but many eye witnesses have collaborated the man's story. Please tell APC to stop playing politics with people's lives.

I swear you are the one ranting senselessly. The priest has confirmed he personally invited Obi to the crusade and that the stampede happened 3 hours after he left. So WTF are u saying? Please use your brains sir, they are yours.

My friend you are still talking rubbish.
Whether he was invited or not does not mean he did not try to politicize it.
How do you explain the presence of Obiano at the event.
Was he invited as well ?
Use you brains please and stop being stu.pid

freecocoa: Satan go sha punish this Peter Obi and his cohorts, like how wicked are these people?


I'm sure nobody invited him to anything, since when do governor's now attend night vigil just with the aim of praying, why did he mount the pulpit? Abi was he the guest speaker at the crusade?

Useless man, mscheew.

Ngige came to the same prayer ground a day before.. what exactly is your point?

Oh! The more reason why Obi should be prosecuted, why didn't people die when Ngige went there?

Bottomline is that people don't want Obi and the dullard he stands for, being pelted with sachet water at onitsha should have told him so, did his goons have to scare people simply because they stated their minds?

If I'm to advice Obi/APGA it would be to use that money they are spending to exonerating themselves to pay compensation to the families of the dead and the injured.

Buying up those media and pot-belly men-in-black to cover the complicity of APGA will not help anybody, the useless Panel of Inquiry will not do any good either.
What will the Panel do? Tell us there were no promises of erosion control at Ukeh, construction of the roads to the Adoration ground, donation of money by Obi, or may be tell us Obiano the stooge, Umeh the APGA chair were not there.
The deed.... is done? The only Panel that should be set up, if they're serious, is Panel for the Compensation of Victims Fullstop

NRI PRIEST:

Yes he did something, he obstructed public peace and sent his goons to scare innocent citizens thereby leading to a stampede that killed people.

What investigation? What panel of inquiry when the causes of the stampede are there for all to see. Governor Obi said he was invited to the church. My question is, was Obi invited to campaign in the church or to worship and praise the Almighty GOD? The truth is that, both Obi and whoever he claimed to have invited him are the cause of the stamped. So any investigation that will exnorate them is bias

Wicked politians God will punish all of u. Fools!!! RIP members

Its obvious you are unstable upstairs kid. Kindly show us where Obi made a campaign speech or where Obiano even spoke at all or STFU! All these senseless lies and propaganda of you APC touts will end on November 16. We await you at the poll!

I'm sorry, but this is NOT an intelligent post. People are dead...stop the deaths of innocents as an excuse to tackle a politician you don't like. That's awful.

Mr. Aboki has the only sensible contribution here. The venue was inherently unsafe and this must not be brushed under the carpet. Forget about Obi or Ngige et al. The Catholic church must take some blame for this, and I say this as a Catholic. Gathering such a huge number of people in a venue without proper exit points and crowd control is pure lunacy...this shows our safety culture needs to drastically improve.

kingbang:

You comment sounds foolish kid. The priest has come out to tell the world that Peter Obi was duly invited for the crusade. The same priest even threatened to curse the APC touts for daring to bring politics into the holy ground. DId you hear Peter Obi make any campaign speech there or solicit for votes there? You people are just lost!!! The priest himself and Archbishop Okeke have both come out to tell the world that the stampede happened after Obi left and was caused by a calculated false alarm raised by some people(APC touts). So you guys have gotten to the level of playing politics with people's lives? Tufiakwa!! Anyway, all these rubbish will end on November 16.

Why are you ranting like a raving lunatic?

Was he or was he not invited to the rally last year? Did he attend?

Meanwhile, an unconfirmed report blamed the stampede on the governor. The report quoted eye witnesses as saying the stampede occurred when Obi started campaigning for his gubernatorial candidate and there were shouts of disapproval, causing his security aides to fire tear gas into the crowd.
But Obi, who said, yesterday, that he was heart-broken by the event, said he went home after the crusade satisfied on the rewarding spiritual encounter, only to get the news later.

Empty noise maker !
You can't even read.
Obi spoke but we all know his puppet is incapable of speaking.
He even came to a debate with expo.
But i'm not surprised u like him because you're similar. You both don't have brains to think with.

Ofcourse it won't be intelligent to you na, mind you I'm not in support of any politician here and I never said what Mr Aboki is on about doesn't make sense.

All I want is for people to see that Obi caused the stampede so he should face the music. FYI I have never voted in my life and I'm not planning to so I don't care about politics, I just hate that our so called leaders don't give a hoot about us cos if he Obi cared, he'd know that scaring the crowd would result to a stampede knowing fully well how such things end.

Both the organizers of the crusade and Arcbishop Valeria Okeke have come out to tell the truth but fools like you won't accept it because of your political affiliation. Keep on playing silly politics with people's lives but the judgement day is on November 16.

freecocoa: Yes he did something, he obstructed public peace and sent his goons to scare innocent citizens thereby leading to a stampede that killed people.

nne.. your noise is becoming too much.. take a chilled coke and relax.. Obi didn't cause the damn stampede.. have you read the archbishops press release on the stampede..

his grace, Valerian okeke is not someone that will lie. his press release is in line with eye witness reports and Peter Obis press release.

yours faithfully is writing from Nkpor, idemmili north lga in anambra state.

Peter Obi was already in awka before the stampede occured.

Don't come here feeling funky over nothing.

Ujujoan:

It's funny how for the past eight years Obi has been invited for this rally which holds every year . . . and not once has he attended.

And yet people expect us to believe that his attending this year has noting to do with politics? How gullible do they think we are

He didn't just attend, he made a donation of 2 million naira to the priest who rejected the money and asked him to give it to the impoverished. The place is a holy ground, not a fund raising event or a campaign ground.

The crowd was outraged the Obi was using the huge turn out as an opportunity to sell his stooge of a gubernatorial candidate, which is why they kept shouting him down with screams of 'onwa' (Ngige's popular name).

The fact that the Governor is blame this on Nigige not only shows him as being petty, but also reveals his weakness. All his woes is caused by Ngige . . . this Ngige must be a God!

my dear, can you please shut up... which rally has they been inviting him to?

FYI, Ebube muonso is a young priest and his holy ghost adoration is barely 2 years old.

please desist from giving wrong information
