May God in his infinite mercy strengthen and help the doctors to save all the children involved in the accident..... Amen

Very terrible accident. May God always grant us His mercy!

Igbo are uniting

My sincere condolences to family that lost their love ones and quckest recovery to those in hospital.

Not just visit. Replace their bus with a better one. Upgrade their school and build a monument for their remembrance and repair the road where they had the accident.

Also pay the parents who lost kids some consolation amount.

I could hold myself back from weeping yesterday. Until u have kids, you wouldn't understand how painful that accident was.
