THE TYPE AND MAGNITUDE OF BAD LUCK, TRAGEDY, AND HORROR THAT ARE BEFALLING THIS NATION ARE QUITE WORRISOME!
PLEASE GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US. FORGIVE US, AND HEAL THIS LAND, IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE FEW GOOG ONES AMONG US. WE BEG YOU, OH MERCIFUL GOD!

Stop this God business. God doesn’t fix nations. People and institutions do.

Now I know why Adeboye and the rest are filthy rich, they sell hope to the millions of hopeless people in Nigeria.

NB: I am a Christian but I am getting tired of all the useless prayers. The country is getting worse.

Lord have mercy!
They all left home, not having a premonition that they won't return alive to their abode.
May the soul of the dead Rest well.
This is just so sad.
Reading and seeing all these deaths, especially death of little children makes it so hard to swallow.
May God's protection be with us and our families.

GORY SCENES.
SO SAD!!

Nigeria is experiencing blood sacrifice. It looks like a mass karma of some sort. The death statistics is totally off the charts.

Same boat here man...prayers haven't changed this country and might never change this enclave. Since the advent of Christianity in the country, millions of Christians have prayed but the problems seem to just multiply.

Countries like China, UAE who have worked hard and not prayed to God or Allah to help them, have gone miles ahead of us.

From Jos to russia to Lagos, it has been a black June indeed.
Throughout my years living in the USA, there have never been any fire disaster from a diesel or petrol carrier. But over there in naija these things happen so often . How some people still beat their chest to say they are Nigerians never ceases to amaze me. In Uganda there is sanity and its rare to see disasters like this. Same goes for Kenya, Tanzania, south Africa etc. But in the supposed giant of Africa people die and get roasted in fire like Bush meat everyday.

The world cup loss in Russia is the most painful of them all
. Followed by the Jos massacre. And followed by the Otedola bridge disaster.

I think your stupidity trumps all the disasters you have mentioned. People are dead and you're talking about the World Cup

We need prayers ke? All the ones we have been praying nko? grin

It seems this ongoing World Cup has not thought you anything. God has nothing to do with partiality towards nations. Faith without works is empty.

Nigeria is not just a good country. What one should pray for is his divine protection as one goes out and comes in in this Nigeria. Lobatan.

In developed nations, you rarely or almost wouldnt hear of such accidents. Means will be provided to convey diesel, petrol etc safely with ease and zero possibility of an outbreak of such. In my country nigeria, anything goes. How on earth do you carry such highly inflammable products on roads that are in terrible, with trucks that are mostly not certified to be road worthy, with reckless drivers and no road signs. We have a long way to go
