The government had failed us!

Rest on young bloods. May God console your families.

I pray healing and quick recovery for those in the hospital.

RIP. We need to take safety measures serious in Nigeria

Bad

Omg this year will be a great history to tell in future
May We not experience this kind of tragedy again

Rip to the dead

This is not end time this is lack of safety adherence

Avoidable accident. Nigerian leaders have failed us since 1957

I wish for a bigger explosion in the houses of those leaders that failed these innocent souls resulting to their untimely death. They died simply because someone failed to do something right. If this country is too big for us to manage why can't we just allow everyone to go their different ways.

May the souls of the departed ones rest in peace.

R.I.P to them.
My condolences.
On a side note, it’s nauseating that people who claim to be students of a tertiary can’t construct a simple sentence.
Wtf is happening in Nigeria?
