Three people, including two students of Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti (BOUESTI) and a staff member of Emirates Hotel, Ikere Ekiti were reportedly confirmed dead and some others hospitalized following a stampede incident at a convocation after-party held at the hotel yesterday .

So you expect school authority or management to supervise every activity of students that have come of age?

This is very unfortunate.

Since the dead has no second chance to make amends, passing blames doesn't hold water.

However, one cannot help but ask questions like: "what is the motivation behind this hotel post convocation ceremony after all the multifarious unethical practices like FYB (Final Year Brethren), Signing Out Madness and others already done on campus?

Is the lack of employment opportunities after graduation not demoralizing enough?

God have mercy.

So sad... Rest in peace to the dead.

Since I small, I have always had crowd phobia.

I don't care about the importance of what they are doing or sharing... Once I see crowd or too many people clustered in a limited space, I take off.

The hotel lacks crowd management techniques partly due to inexperience, may the soul of the victims rest in peace

This certainly must have been caused by some highly inebriated students. Stampedes due to a lack of crowd control at parties with a lot of gatecrashers worldwide have been very fatal.

Re: Stampede At BOUESTI Post-Convocation Party Leaves 3 Dead, Others Hospitalized by IronCondemned: 7:40pm On Apr 19

Just imagine that, two graduates wasted for nothing.

People from that region love party more than their life.
What do you enjoy attending a large party, not even a musical concert but party.

I strongly believe 98% were there for the free food they'll get. Rice, rice and rice....

I guess it's going to be one of these hotels that just have 5 rooms and a parlour sized conference room.

Dey play, introvert have high tendency to die faster than extrovert. One can be in the room struck with hearth attack, family will think one is watching movies, it's the odour of the remnantof the dead that will notify them.
