Good for him

They woke up like me today but, couldn't see the end of today. Very very unfortunate

lyk seriously??

Tragic. But is that not a smile I'm seeing on his face?

Very unfortunate incident. May their souls rest in peace.

There's no god anywhere like religion will want us to believe. Why would he let this happen if there was?

No one should give me that crap about god having a reason for everything. Reason? when people are dead and in an agonizing painful way?

The church was built badly and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Once we kick away religion and face reality the earth and it's inhabitants will be better off.

dat was during the service

Actually the Gov was at the church, his protocol officer lives in the next apartment to mine, called me on the phone when it happened, I personally drove to the church myself.
Some of the orderlies and men attached to the governor actually died.

Very tragic story.

See convoy of a governor that depends on allocation to pay salaries

This governor's luck is something else. His head has serious ororo!

Reminds me of the Synagogue tragedy. RIP to the dead

Very pathetic news
May god console the bereaved
What a black day

Innocent Christians died yet all the corrupt politicians made it out alive.... I still dont understand how this concept of religion works

It's very sad! My condolences to the Families of the victims. May they find comfort on every side. And may the souls of the departed find eternal rest.
