Is Here And Ready For Business

God have mercy
Life is lost due to some carelessness

Sad

So sad. Very sad. These kids should not be schooling in highrise buildings. They like to explore. They would climb barriers without sense of risks. To think that guardians were there. May his young soul rest in peace, amen!

The proprietor should be held responsible! How do you situate a crèche on the 3rd floor of a building?? That's quite reckless! The parents too have their own share of the blame because they knew the location of the crèche and still left their boy there.....quite unfortunate that the innocent boy had to pay with his life for lessons to be learnt.

After all, that part of the country don't even value babies.

They can sell him anytime. All meat na' meat!

Hmmmmm, why should the creche class upto nursery be on the upper floor, what if there is need for evacuation, how many kids can a teacher carry or how fast can the pupils run out??
How come the parents such class room for their baby, or is the school one of such schools that won't allow parents visit their ward's classroom?
Condolences to the family.

Normally, baby classes should be on the ground floor. Minders in each class should be at least 2 or 3. They are tiny, little, sneaky creatures you won't know when they will slip by you and go wreak atrocities. They're not to be blamed because they don't know any better. The adults around will always take the fall; Davido's late Ifeanyi came to mind (I'm sorry I have to refer to him) Adults should NEVER lose guard around tiny tots.

May God comfort his family.

How come such child found his way to the third floor?

Eyyahhh… 😢
How is she now?
Hope no permanent scars or deformities?

It is well.

God comfort the baby’s family. 🙏

NAH! Was jus fr couple of Years d pain kept Reoccurring, she is in country with God medical facilities to put all that Behind now.
Parentalhood got a lot of follow come chalallenges.

It is such a pity. Rest in peace to the small boy. May God comfort the Mum and Dad.

The schools using highrise buildings must immediately do full handrail from down up in all balconies. And also do strong burglary proofs in all Windows. By so doing no child can fall off.

Chimoooo

the teachers in charge and the headmaster should be prosecuted for their negligence that cut the toddler's life prematurely.....


nonsense

May God have mercy on us

A Primary or Daycare on a third floor is asking for such an unfortunate incident. As a parent, there is no way that I will enroll my child in such school.

What do we call this? Negligence or what?

God protect our kids where our eyes no reach

So after Anambra, it's now the turn of Abia State to be in the spotlight all because of Alex Otti. Very terrible people
