I understand. Words can cut deep in the soul to endender such feelings. I wish comfort for the Adelekes, psychiatric healing for you. . . and restitution for your creditors.

Click on this link below, you would see the children of foreign celebrities who lost their lives to unexpected accidents. Accidents are by nature random and unexpected. You may take protection and prevention and still be a victim.

Just look at your post, are you saying that mother's of 3 year old kids should still ALWAYS be with their kids. That supervised periodical baby sitting shouldn't be a thing? Common!!

That sounds like clutching of straws to me. Accidents can happen to the best of us. You could be sorted still on a position in your house and stray bullet hits you. Maybe someone starts asking, why didn't you have bullet proof windows?

i will start off with the fact that i am often paranoid, and in addition, i am an engineer who has worked in oil and gas

the industry trains you to take safety seriously. the problem with safety is that it comes at a cost. both in timeliness and in cash

but the more cash you have , the more you will [if you are intelligent] push that money into making the workplace safe, because if for no other reason, an accident will cause disruption to operations, increased cost, litigation, etc

in 2015 or so, my wife fell down and broker her wrist. she had been sganding on a stool that was on a table. i immediately went out and bought two step ladders. one for upstairs one for downstairs. because i know someone might be like the ladder was too far away. that is the proper response to an incident. also - anyone in safety will tell you. a death NEVER happens in isolation. there were always some incidents or near misses - which present an opportunity to start proper preventive measures. there were other incidents in Davido's house - maybe they were not reported; maybe they said na God's intervention - and so here we are today.

i constantly harangue and harass everyone when i see them doing something that can cause an accident. and i tell them - do you want to spend the next six months in the hospital? that place you dont like?

i bought my wife a car last year, completely unplanned, a major dent in finances - because her banger was constantly breaking down and the mechanics were not helping matters. why? because the last thing you want is to be in a car that breaks down at 8pm in orile or oshodi or other parts of Lagos. then a small incident can be multiplied. ask yourself today - have i don all i can to mitigate potential incidents? what are the things i need to do? i know for instance that as soon as some extra cash comes in, i will change the tires on my wifes car. same reason. they are looking worn. rather than wait for an incident.

the poor will always live with risk because safety is about money. so they will enter danfos with inebriated driver, no seatbelt, no brakes, worn tires. but davido is rich. none of these things should be an issue for him. he travles abroad and he sees friends who have fully childproofed their homes

also, this has HAPPENED before. it happened to dbanj. anyone with a modicum of sense would have immediately called an expensive architect to ask - how do i stop this from happening in my own home? but that is for people who are ready to grow up and learn responsibility.

everyone is 'empathizing' with davido, but no one is saying what should be said - THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

maybe davido will use his platform to push for swimming pool safety going forward. because it is not just him an dbanj. every year youth drown in hotel swimming pools while out partying.

i was arguing with someone else and then i realised the difference between us and the west. because in the west at least one person who is a victim in this kind of thing will become an activist to ensure it does not happen again. over here we will wring our hands, empathize each and every time it happens, but do nothing to prevent a future occurrence.

BlueRayDick:
Seeing multiple blogs report Davido's son dead is saddening even though the family is yet to react to the reports ( understandably so), one can only pray for the family to stay strong in this trying period.

That being said, I think I agree with GloriousGbola on the fact that Nigerians (and in particular Nigerian celebrities) do not learn from the experience of others. One would think our celebrities would've learnt from Dbanj's case and.would have a safe home where kids are not exposed to something like an open swimming pool.

It will not be surprising if all celebrities who show concern during this period go back home and still not do anything to forestall such occurrence in their home. Kids will always be kids, no matter how u try to chaperone them domestic accidents will still happen (but it shouldn't be domestic accident that are preventable.)

I pity every domestic staff and minder in the residence as at the time of the incident. Some of them will rot in the cell for this unfortunate incident.( I read on a blog that they've arrested people in the house as at the time of the incident.) That kind case na to just dey beg God to comfort the family quickly so dem go order Ur release after taking their loss in good faith.

Viking07 brought an issue, very simple " how
do you know a fare is not tampered with?

Pray, tell me, what can you tell me about this?

This doesn't include repairs

BlueRayDick:
Nobody says it's easy, but my point that day was that those drivers being aware of the so many expenses pegged to their income still keep multiple girlfriends(whom they will surely lose part of their meagre income to) , play sport betting and lotto, spend much money on booze, etc which all together makes it impossible for them to maintain their vehicle

BlueRayDick:
Wike must be delusional if he actually thinks he can be the president of this country called Nigeria in the nearest possible future .

The man called Wike don too shiiiit for church Abeg. This is a man that has constantly called the bluff of the northern oligarchy ; he’s called them out on a number of issues especially their hypocrisy on the sharia police destroying bottles of beer while they still partake in the VAT realized from sales of alcohol in other secular states .



Now I’m not saying Wike calling them out is wrong , but I doubt these same people would allow Wike be president of a country that includes the northern elites and their serfs who listen to the elite like they are listening to God .

The same way u see the top 3 candidates now marching to arewa house to defend their “2023 thesis “ is the same way ur man Wike will be summoned and he will be asked questions as to what he has in stock for the “arewa” . I wonder if Wike will remain his brash self while answering those queries .

BlueRayDick:
I just hope the drivers can sustain the strike and force the hand of Lagos State government to do something about the excesses of those lazy urchins headed by MC Oluomo.

I mean the Lagos state government banned NURTW in the state, pegged the transport tax to be paid by commercial drivers at ₦800 and we all thought maybe there will be some sanity in the activities of those guys. Unfortunately that has not changed anything, in fact drivers are being forced to part with more than their own profit sef.

I listened to a radio programme today and a commercial driver sent in a text narrating their ordeal. He carries full load for ₦12,600, pays ₦4,000 at the park he loads, he will pay for dropping passengers at Iyana Oworo and Oshodi bus stops. He said the total he pays out of the ₦12,600 to agbero is ₦5,800 then he buys fuel for ₦3,500. At the end of the day he will only have made ₦3,300 on that trip.

Can u imagine parting with a whole ₦5,800 to people who do absolute nothing and he the driver who wakes as early as possible to hustle for his daily bread only makes ₦3,300 from the trip.

This is the kind of nonsense people defend. Even those of us working in formal settings don't get to part away with 46% of our gross income as tax.

If Lagos state government can form a task force that arrests traffic offenders, why can't they have a task force that ensures only the ₦800 announced earlier this year is what motorists are made to pay per day? We all know they won't do that, instead they will turn a blind eye to it and allow MC and his boys do as they like. I saw a tweet from that Gawat boy reacting to the strike and he said " They( the transport workers) have a dispute amongst themselves and it will be sorted out". That should tell u that the government allows this impunity to continue to happen.

Have you noticed that atiku doesn't care as much again..

Baba is seriously solidifying his northern base especially with his recent comments.

He's willing to take his chances at this point.
I don't also believe Ayu going is the issue, its the other things wike probably asked for.

I don't believe there is a single Cule that ever thought that Barcelona will still qualify.

So all this trolling isn't even painful because we had already given up in our last match.

The real pain is Messi scoring and assisting and Ronaldo getting sent to under 21 to do tap in

Interestingly to note that barca were hoping for a miracle...

Long-awaited Europa is here finally...

MorataFC:
I see Barca winning but it will be too late

Is this your first time watching Raheem? Because I don't think you have seen him played before.

He is not a CF though he can play there.

Perhaps, he is avoiding injury because he doesn't play the way he use to play.

dubai economy will collapse without nigerians?

i'm sorry, this is the same way we love to believe our large numbers mean we are a market everyone is salivating over.

dubai is a world class tourist destination

their money is from tourism. what number of nigerians are going there as tourists to drop money? the majority are simply going there to hustle.
