Have been reading all day about the earthing and i will install it. Thanks

You are not supposed to install earthing by yourself. Stop putting your life in danger, especially those little kids!
Get a professional.
It is not complete unless you earth your home equipments through your wiring system.
Good Lord have mercy!

Wow! I also experienced something similar last month. I was in my kitchen when the lightning struck. I felt it in my right arm. I was standing close to the kitchen door. It was like an electric shock. It was very scary experience.
@ Op, Thank God for his protection

This is very serious. Any of your neighbors living in duplex house? If there are tall buildings or duplexes around you, please encourage the landlords to install lightening arrester on their roof top. It is very very important, it saves lives. It saves you from domestic accidents, particularly if you have poor electrical connection systems. It saves the community from unexplained deaths.
This Copper device (lightening arrestor) helps in attracting and evacuating any thunder within the vicinity. The high electric voltage associated with thunder will be dissipated deep under the earth.

Lightening arrestor. Thank you for this knowledge.

Always heard people call it "Thunder protector"

It has happened to me twice, that's why I don't use my phone whenever its raining peeps say I'm afraid but I don't want to risk my life again biko.

Back to the topic seems the house you are living doesn't have lightening arrestor?

I heard lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. However, if it did, it was usually considered as bad luck.

Ps: they may have been referring to Thunder instead
