Obi At The Burial Of The Omatu Siblings Who Died In Great Nigeria Insurance Fire by nlfpmod(mod): 1:37pm On Jan 15
Yesterday, I attended a deeply emotional and heartbreaking burial of three siblings, Stephen Onyeka Omatu, Casmir Nnabuike Omatu, and Collins Kenechukwu Omatu, the three young brothers whose lives were cruelly cut short in the Great Nigeria Insurance building fire in Lagos, Nigeria.

It is almost impossible to describe the depth of this tragedy. For days, these young men sent distressing pleas for help while trapped in the building, yet there were no emergency services to rescue them. Several days passed in the rubble before their bodies were finally recovered. Several days of unanswered calls, of a system that failed them at the moment they needed it most.

This is not just a personal loss for their family, it is a national loss. This tragedy should serve as a reminder that our emergency services must be improved and accessible to every citizen. We cannot continue like this. Every life matters, and no Nigerian should ever have to endure such neglect or be left to perish in such a gruesome way, while help could have been provided.

I pray that the souls of Steve, Casmir, and Collins find eternal rest, and that God grants their family the courage, strength, and comfort to bear this unimaginable grief. May we never forget them, and may we be moved to ensure such a tragedy never happens again.

- PO

Peter Obi is a good man. A TRUE man of the people.

The drug baron in Aso Villa/France only sympathizes with celebrities.

Specialist in death matters, I trust he can't wait for another death event.
Re: Obi At The Burial Of The Omatu Siblings Who Died In Great Nigeria Insurance Fire by SonOfDSoil01: 1:51pm On Jan 15
undecided this shameless man is always looking for every avenue to score cheap political point…..even with the death of this young men, he couldn’t even pretend to hide his hypocrisy and just mourn the loss of people that their family are still grieving their loss undecided most of the victims of the tragic event were self inflicted….people should learn to prioritise their life over material possessions….most of them risk thier life’s and went inside to try and save most of their wares and unfortunately were trapped…..but it is always convenient to blame to govt for everything….bitter obi should hide his face in shame…if he had provided a better economy in anambala as claimed by his delusional minions, would they be in Lagos in search of greener pastures? undecided

My condolences to the bereaved.

For those who want to gain political or religious capital from the deaths of these industrious men, they will also receive condolence visits this year.

There's no disaster or calamity that's too heavy and dark for this dude to farm cheap clout. Kai!

Three key branches of a single family perish like that, the mf still put on his ridiculous black costume, carry cameraman along and still pose for photo. The weirdest thing about the photo ops is those women laughing and smiling. Ki lon dun mon yin ninu?

Omo!

Their is time for everything
It is “there,” not “their.”
There happens to be a book titled Brighter Grammar. I strongly recommend you acquire a copy, perhaps after taking a brief, restorative break from Pitobi.

In fact, Pitobi might consider instituting a basic English proficiency check for his employees before handing them smartphones and unleashing them on social media to type absolute nonsense.

Three siblings lost their lives and a past sitting governor paid condolence visit and you're bitter!


May God snatch you and your siblings since your dead brain belongs to your keyboard 😔
