The cause of this is that these poor men went to struggle on empty stomach. You can't tell me that a healthy young man can die easily from ordinary stampede.
Come to think of it, they might be nairaland members

Wow, thanks for your educative meme. Just confirmed it immediately .
But wait, I'm I the only one that tried it?

The Emperor Tyrant of Rivers State is yet to give COVID 19 palliatives to his people after hoarding it for how long now.
This palliatives from a private organization has caused deaths.
By 2021, the era of palliatives will be over. Nigeria must gather sense by force
