God, what wrong have we done?

With this economic hardship, this is the least we deserve
Please have mercy on us your children
But then, if it pleases You, who are we to question Your decision?

RIP to the dead

Kudos to the LASWA and Emergency response for their swift response successfully rescuing all of the victims of the unfortunate event. You see, this is why the wearing of LIFE JACKETS on water vessels is ABSOLUTELY important.

Please, I am also using this as a medium to implore the Lagos state government to send all those shanty guyz dumping wooden logs into the Lagos Lagoon packing. That entire area is an eyesore, and it is particularly visible from the Third Mainland bridge. An area that is supposed to be aesthetically pleasing as the pride of Lagos state, not to mention that their activities is now making the waterways unsafe, like what just happened today.
Please please and please LASG, Do something!
