One of the school children who died in Wednesday’s Lagos school building collapse told his mum he didn’t want to go to school on the day, being his birthday, SR reports.

A three-storeyed building including the Ohen Nursery and Primary School, Ita Faji, Lagos Island, collapsed on Wednesday morning, killing at least 12 people as of yesterday’s count. Families and neighbours of the victims were heard giving different accounts of what might have been done to avert the incident.

One parent who became an emergency worker overnight said:

“I have rescued my five-year-old son, he survived; now I'm here to help others but the LASEMA officials are making things very difficult and slow.”

He added that another child killed in the accident might have been alive had events gone another way. “Today is the boy’s birthday; he said he didn't want to go to school because it's his birthday but his mother insisted.

He was among those that first died.”

Another said: “A woman couldn't afford fees so she came to beg in the morning but the proprietor turned her back with her child; she has just heard what happened and is thanking God.”

One story which seemed very consistent among the crowd at the scene of the incident and at the hospital is that “of a woman who has about 15 to 20 (depending on who's telling the story) kids with her and who are all trapped in rubble”.

They all said the woman was able to “call someone on the phone to give a picture of things in the rubble but warned that she may run out of phone battery soon".

Rescue efforts at the crash are expected to continue on Thursday.

it's good to be stubborn if he was stubborn ehn he won't go dat day

Qui sera sera (What will be will be)

Innocent soul, sometimes i do think why will a creator destroy his creations

I don't know any of them but it pains me more deeply... My God find a way to console their parents... RIP

So? Do you know how many kids in Nigeria told their parents they don't want to go to school that day?
Nigerians and unnecessary spirituality is just weird!

Someone will soon tell us how a man of god or god of men saw this in 2016

What's funny

Another Lie from bloggers


expect more Lies like this in the coming weeks.

May God grant the parents the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss...

So what do we gain from this, any kid that doesn't want to go to school be left alone?
Abeg let's just mourn and move forward..

Such is life.. If she had known, she would not have allowed him to go to school.. My condolences to them all.

forget all these..persin wey go die go die.so enough of all the IF's...

Nigerian bloggers will write anything, even sh*t.

Comon, life doesn’t work that way, life is not a logic gate. There are thousands of children who would not want to go to school in a day, does it mean they are going to die.

and this is funny to you the life of a little one you use as a joke.

It's normal for kids to often decline going to school so why is Op trying to make a subject out of what's not...

Mtcheeew

Eaya

And so? Children always find excuses 4 not going 2 skol. RIP anyway.

fake

May God heal our land.

Many times children will say they don't want to go to school.
Are parents going to permit that out of the fear of the unknown?
No.

If only the mother had been sensitive enough besides the reason given by the boy.

However, parents should give their children more listening ear so that we can see through
their fears.

Chaii! Odiegwu

I told my mother the same thing almost everyday due to constant flogging.
What sort of cheap report is this?
I see someone wants to emulate DailyMail’s style of reportage.

That was faith that the mother didn't noticed,in case of another child

That is the work of intuition but the mother is not intuitive

Who should be held responsible for this mayhem/catastrophe
