This country has never had it so bad like this but King Nubus is feeling fly as 8f he's the best thing in governance after Lee Kwan Yu.

The useless party , since they took over power has been pains, bloodshed, hardship, tears, sorrow, banditry, corruption etc.
Was it APC that was in power when so many people died of stampede during immigration jobs in Port harcourt?
You just come online to spew rubbish

God sometimes is a God of judgement. These Ibos have been online mocking Oyo kids that we lost lying they went there for food when it was just a Christmas funfair event and no food involved.

Now within few days, grown up adults were stampede to death in Ibo land while begging for ordinary rice. Should we now then mock them back?

Even Peter Obi mocked Ibadan people and had to delete his useless tweet about the event.
exactly
tomorrow they will be crying that they are hated.

Which kind sad news be this again.

Tinubu should please open the border atleast we Nigerians can see cheaper rice to buy instead of begging for rice.

A bag of rice used to be 7500 and since Buhari closed the border to help local farmers rice now unaffordable to common Nigerians.
If he opens the border and the exchange rate goes up then the price of rice will not go down.

Oga Peter Obi and other obidient minors, oya come and cry about Tinubu as usual. Come and tell us how it was poverty that led to the stampede.

Those idiots rejoicing and politicizing the Ibadan incident as evident of Yoruba poverty can now hide their faces in shame. This is Anambra, the billionaires capital of SE and people are killing each other over mudu of rice.
if it wasn’t poverty what else is it?

We weren’t hearing about stampede every two days, until this useless palliative government came on board.

Why are you now saying it’s not tinubu that has taken poverty to a whole new level? If no be TIfnubu , na your papa?

Useless idiots.

I've just watched the video... It's surreal.

The crowd control measures and logistics for organizing these give-aways have to be properly worked out NEXT time. If you're giving out 5000 gifts of rice or cash, then do a pre-selection before the actual day of distribution, so, that there won't be a massive crowd of people ABOVE the total number of bags of rice and cash gifts available. This should have been done in the Ibadan, Oyo State and the Okija, Anambra State stampede cases.


Some of the people in the crowd might even be there to grab their own bags of rice for rebagging and resale thereby defeating the purpose of the noble act of genuine gift giving.

Crowd control is key in any event. Period.

This is sad

The Ibadan incident should have made people be weary of large crowds for freebies.

Anything could spark a stampede at such a gathering.
The major problem is that majority of Nigerians like freebies too much. To imagine people scooping fuel from a falling tanker days after such incident burnt many people confirms this assertion

Deaths from stampedes have ALWAYS occured randomly in Nigeria for decades. It was absolutely WRONG for those "bloody imbeciles" online to begin to taunt the memory of those who lost their lives in Ibadan, Oyo State like that. Then just 2 days later, a similar stampede episode occurs in Okija, Anambra State leading to the loss of lives.

Indeed, a lack of water-tight crowd control and logistics is what triggers these stampede deaths even though the intentions behind the ACT of "genuine gift giving" is noble.

A standard national safety protocol must be adhered to by all organizers of programs such as this from here on out.

Border is not the major issue here but greed and love of freebies. Even when fuel was 65 naira per liter, people were still scooping fuel from a fallen tanker despite repeated calamities about such incidences.

They are like dogs being led by the master to the 'slaughter' but are still barking in defence of their master - Tinubu's propagandists.

Withdraw subsidy on fuel and at the same time float the local currency without any tangible backing-

the only leader who could do that is scheming to decimate the population of the country.

..so they said 2027 election is between APC and nigerians..APC vs nigerians..it's nigerians that will decide in 2027 election ..if they still want to continue with this hunger, hardship, food stampede or if they do not want to continue with it ?
Rather it's Nigerians vs INEC.
If Nigerians aren't ready to deal with INEC then they're not ready and serious.

Indeed, NOBODY in the Ibadan stampede episode deserved to be mocked by "imbeciles" and "idiots" like that. It was just "poor crowd control" and inefficiencies in logistics that occured in that unfortunate situation.

Standard national safety protocols and pre-selection (or pre-qualification) processes have to be adhered to from now on to prevent stampedes like these.

The same mudu of rice Tinubu's policy made expensive for the common man they had to be killed seeking to feed their hungry stomach, don't worry, same faith awaits someone you love so much in your family, you will weep your eyes out since you have refused to have sense for life.

Same fate will befall you and all the idiotic brainless people that liked your senseless comment. You will understand hunger knows no tribe the hard and painful way.

You will learn the hard way that some of us on nairaland are prophets and what we say surely come to pass...save this thread.

This is a sad the cause of this is simple because of hardship in the country, because if not because of hardship, they won't have come out because of some cups of rice. It is very unfortunate.

Organizers or APC government that have unleashed hunger and hardship on our peoplehuh

If this APC government hadn't introduced policies that throw Nigerians into starvation, this would not have happened.

The organizers should be held responsible for this 😐

I hope my brothers now know that hunger knows no tribe. Where freebies is announced in this tinubu Era, stampede must follow.

Instead of us to echo in unison, that this governmentis bent of killing nigerians, we will be here looking for the tribe that is most affected

Moreover if someone organized this giveaway at the backdrop of what happened in osun state, hold the organizers responsible
But you’re not willing to hold APC politrickians that mada a bag of rice go from N7k to N100k in 9years… nope,
But organizers of charity giving should be held accountable by charitable donors…. But politrickians that starve you should be celebrated🤷🏿‍♂️
