Earthquakes:
Country seems to be irredeemable
We are more loyal to politicians than Nigeria.

A country with no collective dream, no general purpose. Just exiting without plan.

Dalohad:
Wike would have ran out of this country since 2017 if not for Odili go saved his skin severally.

Even the APC Yoruba buffoons hailing him today, wanted his head on a plate for killing many APC party members and bribing INEC official. The Audio record of his conversation with INEC officials is available online.

He owes the Odilis more than they owe him. Wike is a loudmouthed mugu..

ivandragon:
What exactly in wike's grouse with fubara?

sapele914:
Fubara is worse than a fool, you betray the person that made u king, and think u will escape Scot free?

Even Jehovah hates betrayers, give unto Caesar, what belongs to Caesar.

Jozibrainz100:
Lere Olayinka who knows absolutely nothing about Rivers State and its people is now talking about Politics in Rivers just because of his job specifications.

Indeed politics is a dirty game.

phineas:
This is not the piece we asked for, we asked for what happened, why and how it happened, what was done and how to prevent it and what exactly makes ordinary culpable in that situation, this information is needed as per each stampede incident.

If this was done as regards the ibadan incident on Wednesday, perhaps the abuja and anambra organizers could have learnt a thing or two from it thereby preventing the other stampedes and their subsequent arrest

And before anyone says wrongly again that the authorities owe no one any statement, please remember these were disaster level incidents in some of the cases, responders were overwhelmed...

Let us bring to our recollection the response of the US to the Boston marathon bombing, there were statements immediately after and subsequently....

Times have changed and obviously the requirement for charity as changed too, 3 stampedes in succession is no coincidence, I ask again what happened and what makes organizers culpable so everyone actually learns from this and lives get to be saved in future

NICOGRAVITY:
Let everyone be their brother's keeper.
Let's start a community farming.
Dedicate a portion of your earnings to those who have none.
Give without taking pictures.
Teach your community how to fish.
Create opportunities for your community.
Don't just share food during festive seasons, share apprenticeships, job creation, employ and mentor.

Looking4Trouble:
Handouts are also given in Europe and US

Justiceleague1:
These people are very greedy and single minded.
All they think and care about is themselves only.
See the number of bodies they have monitoring the presidency not to mention their various committees spying and checking the presidency and Nass like monitoring spirits.
Tinubu should look for a way to dismantle and break their ranks.

The sad thing however is the excess stupid koneheaded structures we have here in the south who keep causing division and rancour with their ever foolish Peter Obi this, Igbo that rants upandan everyday.
If they south can just unite,these parasites would be put in their place but koneheads must be koneheads

rinzaugustine:
Nigeria can never be one country even in the next 200 years unless you chose to distance yourself from reality

Our tropical climate with a relaxed state of mind for the wealthy will bring her back.

SeriouslySense:
You can say it's their fault, but there are no laws that specify how issues like this should be dealt with. Moreover, some organizers are not even prepared to handle such events. There needs to be more awareness, and these disasters present an opportunity to create nationwide awareness on the need to handle such situations properly.

Certainly i am not 100 percent right, but everyone has a part to play and there is a need to lay down the protocols for organizing such events, both the organizers and the general public or individuals going to collect palliative should play their part.

What i suggest specifically is for the organizers to know how many people they can attend to in a day and when the number is exceeded they should not let other people crowd the place.


Though, there could be a better way to address it.

SeriouslySense:
It is not the fault of the organizers, the people were not patient and orderly.

But the organizers should learn from this and ensure safety standards are followed. Because when peculiar events are setup, many people will come and they will be desperate because of their suffering.

We know Nigerians do not appreciate order and protocols, so next time, give them a number or do something that will assure them, make sure the people who are waiting have their package seperated and ready for collection, know how many people you will cover for a day, so excess people are not waiting and restless.

Lithiumite:
This is all a result of bad organising.....if every thing was done properly,this could have been easily averted......we take a lot of things for granted in this country....you see someone have so much money to build an event center but no provision for adequate parking space.

Arostar2023:
Compensate the family how? Are the families of the kids exempted from blame? Were they charged or billed to attend the event? It was a free for all event. What about the government that is meant to monitor situations like that?

F117nighthawk:
He be like say u Sabi this blood sucking country wella,
Nothing is ever done for the poor people with good intentions from those so called highly influential people.
Just that the poor people too never learn from past experiences, their poverty state sef no dey gree them see the dangers ahead

RenaissanceGuy:
When the FG organised a recruitment exercise and tens of people died due to stampede, was the minister not tried in court for negligence and it's because Nigeria's judiciary is a failure that he did not later go to jail. It's because we're so used to anyhowness here in Nigeria that you think the organizers shouldn't be blamed. If people have previously been jailed in the past for this kind of negligence leading to stampede, the organizers would have hired security to prevent this.

Zionmdde:
Immigration had the data of the number of people they invited and they were dealing with adults. Now make the comparison again

I was waiting for you to mention security. Where the security will position would have been a bottleneck, and disaster was still bound to happen, maybe not inside the venue but outside

As long as the security will not go to homes to stop the children from coming out, stampede was always meant to happen

You should be concerned about the multitude of parents that allowed their children go to scamper for freebies. That's widespread poverty.
