Davido and his chioma were not ready to take on parental duties. To them, clout and glamor or fame comes first. As a result their son is dead.

D'banj incident should have taught them a lesson but that is not the case with people who only think about fame.

When you have your first child, you start to analyze every thing that may hurt them. This includes fornitures with sharp edges.

You can never trust a nanny without camera. You need to know what they do when you are not around.

The boys death is on his parents carelessness.

Even with those net around the pools a child that will drown will drown

Just pray that stuffs like this don't remember you.

I'm telling you.

This, or a pool cover would certainly have prevented his drowning.
This mentality of What Will Be Will Be that some people have, thereby neglecting to do the needful, can prove costly at times.

Basically, accidents happen when we fail to identify hazards & put appropriate barriers against same.

Tokskob2008:
The door of that little net might at one time or the other be opened and kids will definitely stroll in so anything can still happen. It's best if the pool is entirely separated from the building.

MatrixReloaded:
All this is non essential. A remote cover would be cool

SmithRussell:
In other words, preventive measures are useless?
We have a long way to go.. sad.

DisLifeSha:
It's best not to put pool at all. Pool no dey carry person go heaven

The way we think differently amazes me. Someone came up with pictures of better ways things could have been done, and people could only retrogressively object to it. They did not even suggest anything that is better if they think this is not good enough.

Are you saying the chances of getting drowned in a pool that is covered is the same chance as with a pool that is not covered?
Why has Africa always been backward and retrogressive in thinking?

One would not expect people who use this platform or use the internet to think like this. What then would be the case of average market men and women who may be ignorant of a lot of things?
If this happened in Europe or America, and they have a forum like this, they would likely be discussing why he did not get his pool covered when he has a child at home. But here we are in Africa. It's is different, all just from the comments of people here. What is more shocking to me is the high number of "likes" you get from such comments. It makes me feel like I am the the crazy one here. But if really I am the crazy one, I would prefer to be crazy in the eyes of people who hold such thinking. And yet you people have internet. It's a shame to the 21st century.

Aren't the whites Christians too? Yes people in houses of those pictures. But they didn't wait for God to do what a man can do. In fact, if God loves you, he would give you knowledge so it will occur to you to cover your pool because of the danger. But if he does not love you, he would let you wallow in your ignorance and let you expect him to save you from such danger from up there where he is.

In my own religion, we are told to tie our camel and then put our trust in God. Let me relate to you.

One day Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it.
He asked the Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?”
The Bedouin answered, “I placed my trust in Allah.”
At that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Tie your camel and place your trust in Allah” (Tirmidhi)

That's a good balance between faith and reality.
Even with that sef, they still fit steal am. But you still just have to do what you can to ensure it.

But if we think all these are still nonsense. We can as well then leave the doors of our house open. After all, what will happen will happen. We also may not have to use passwords for our accounts because we still get hacked anyways. We may even go national. We wont be needing the police anymore. we spend too much on security and yes there are still attacks.
It's then we will appreciate numbers.
No one said it's secure 100%. But not doing anything to secure more is pure foolishness.

And kudo to those who gave different other ways. People who think they wont construct a pool in their house are even way smarter than those saying it's God that protects or that what would be would be.

Better to avoid having one at home if you have kids less than 15 years old.

If they want to swim, they can do so in public swimming pools where there are adults watching them.

Cos my my restless daughter will climb that fence somehow somehow.

Kids are very unpredictable and dumb.

SeniorMan715:
Every parent should gum their children to their body so they can know everything happening to them

Starzo:

Your religion also teaches people to blow up themselves in the hope of getting 72 virgins in paradise,so?...

benalvino3:


So why are they arresting the househelp or nannies?

When dbanj cry, why did the parents not learn and secure their pool?

Ckonnet:
No need for this if there are kids around, safety should come first.

Rexymania:
That would be too expensive

SeniorMan715:
Carelessness is part of it and anything that will happen will surly happen know matter what you do, accident and death is inevitable.

Rexymania:
That would be too expensive

ValCon888:
Children can still climb that fence and gain entry.

The best solution is a pool alarm.

The sensors detect unauthorized entry and will trigger the alarm to let people know someone is in the pool.

A pool alarm is the best especially for large houses with plenty of space.

ZINNYBANKS:
Devil have it way of making bad things happen even if its heavily guarded with soliders what will happen will happen.

No. Carelessness makes thing that is not supposed to happen happen. Else why the term carelessness if its inevitable.

Why do they ask you to use condoms? For preventive measures abi?
