Poverty on the one hand but you can’t discountenance our culture for disorderliness, greediness & anyhowness.

If we blame it entirely on abject poverty, then we shouldn’t also blame those who have taken up arms to kidnap for ransom & rob people of their valuables due to lack of job & poverty.

As far back 2013, scores of people died in a particular state as a result of stampede during sharing akara (akara ooo!); was the poverty at the time worse than what Nigerians are currently passing through under this administration? Or is it those who inspite of the known risks to their own lives & that of others, go scoop fuel from a fallen tanker? Or the employee on a farm or supermarket who steal their employers’ eggs, foodstuff, designer bags & shoes in large quantities & blame it all on poverty?

We must learn to take responsibility otherwise we’ll keep blaming poverty for every bad thing that happens in this country.

Fair enough, but you should know that there is an extreme that hideous policies can push the poor to where it becomes almost unreasonable to ask the poor to be reasonable.

Hunger is not a reasonable thing.

Sp1ritHusband:
On a serious note, organizers of these events should be held fully accountable even though they were trying to do good deeds.

They have been organizing for years without stampedes.
The people you should blame are those festering hunger on Nigerians. Making those in need of charity 10X more than the usual numbers.
The government is 100% to blame.

O yes I blame the government but will also hold accountable those organizing the events without appropriate safety measures.

Just put the necessary Agency to Orientate people , the weather is not friendly, my eyes watery ,nose hurt , even my malaria has refuse to go two weeks now ...Telling people who are asthmatic or have respiratory issues to queue might not help at this time . The stampede too has it's own consequences join. I am trying my best not to say hunger in the land , but it is obvious for all to see.

What shocked me most was the "this can never happen in South East" noise Igbos on nairaland were making when the news about Ibadan stampede broke out.

WICKED SOUL. Can't you condole the bereaved?

“Hunger is not a reasonable thing”, I totally agree.
Just so painful that it’s still the “poor” that have to die for the mere reason that they’re poor; don’t think I’ve seen or heard a rich man die because they were rich!
May the souls of the dead Rest In Peace!

VinnyBaba:
Ah!!.

When Helinius, Yarimo and other Lagos Agbad0rians don ready to go Bourdillion to beg for Cups of rice.

Wetin Helinues and him Family go com Chop for Christmas now?

Agbadorian a derogatory word for people who believe in Tinubu's vision of of making agriculture a corner stone of the economy. Isn't it ironic given all these incidents of people being trampled to death over a few cups of rice.

Ha! So the Abuja Stampede is also true? Thought it was a rumor.

Melonsmasher:
By making life unbearable for the people, he's really a nice man for plunging people into penury and untimely death and then show concern like that's the solution to the problem.

Was he the organisers that failed to ensure/provide security and emergency services? Or did he ask them to rush the foods.
Everyone is affected about the economy, but then he has done well as the president for cancelling his engagement for the day.

Atuero:
That's the level T-pain has reduced the self made Billionaires to with his inhumane and devilish policies

you can not have millions and be running after 5 cups of ordinary local rice

Many had millions before the enemy went on the throne and destroyed all they laboured for turning them to mere rice hunters......

Aren't you disturbed that it has never been horrible like this before?
Even if you are heartless, you are supposed to be touched by these unfortunate circumstances

The president have done well. Kudos to him for mourning the dead. This is first of it's kind. Though, I'm not his supporter, but for this wonder gestures, I really want to say thank u Mr. President.

Lol the way you condole with Ibadan kids? two can play this game.

May the souls of those unfo.rtunate bi.tches not find peace in hell!

Please cancel any event till after festive period.. any large gathering now is like death trap as some people are ready to cause stampede.

I blame the organizer for this stampede...Hon faleke organized the same thing at his constituency at ikeja today and people came out in millions due to the adequate security everything was very very peaceful..

God punish the instigator of HUNGER and hardship in the country

Result of bad economic policies of the government

Dick head, who is the man behind the bad economy? He has done well for the dead by cancelling his useless engagement and that is a great solution to the hardship people are currently going through

to the extent of dying for just 5 cups of rice

Richtaiwo:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a good man.

If he goes ahead with his schedule, bitter people will cry. Now that he decides to cancel it to mourn the dead, same bitter people will cry even more.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, go on with what is right, real, patriotic and sensible Nigerians are firmly behind you. And most importantly, God is with you.

I don't know the level of foolishness that will be enough for you. Imagine that your child was among the dead , will you be clapping for Tinubu ?

He has also done well for selling rice at 120k per bag, this is first of it kind. 100 people died in one week just because they are looking for what to eat (rice) it is also first of it kind.
People are dying like flies because of rice , yes the president has done well.

If not the hunger and abject poverty this government inflicted on its citizens, what would have made grown up family men and women lined up for a cup of rice?
Or what would have made parents push their over 5000 children to go and queue for a prepared plate of rice like people in destitute homes in a war-torn country?
It's severe hunger and penury this government has subjected the masses to that is causing all this stampede incidents.
And so far this failed economic policy induced hunger continues,we will keep on seeing more of this ugly incidents.

So my own solution I will proffer to this recurrent menace of stampede is that,the government of PBAT should make a deliberate effort in formulating and implementing people oriented economic policies that are aimed at pulling the country out of abject poverty.

If this is done,the incident will automatically stop on it own.
That's my 2 cents.

RIP to the deads though!

I love that

If not hunger and starvation orchestrated by your administration, those people would have been alive.

Wait o. Was there a stampede in Anambra too??

Nigerians too are a problem unto themselves. Always in a hurry and resistant to orderliness.

Now this here is the problem. It's the very reason why many Nigerians don't deserve anything free. Anything given FOC is never appreciated and always taken for granted.

Dig a borehole in a community where there is no water, I tell you, within the period of two years, they will scatter that borehole and go back to not having water, and heck, they'll be very comfortable with it.
