This is sad

The Ibadan incident should have made people be weary of large crowds for freebies.

Anything could spark a stampede at such a gathering.

Which kind sad news be this again.

Tinubu should please open the border atleast we Nigerians can see cheaper rice to buy instead of begging for rice.

A bag of rice used to be 7500 and since Buhari closed the border to help local farmers rice now unaffordable to common Nigerians.

Hia
I hope my brothers now know that hunger knows no tribe. Where freebies is announced in this tinubu Era, stampede must follow.

Instead of us to echo in unison, that this governmentis bent of killing nigerians, we will be here looking for the tribe that is most affected

Moreover if someone organized this giveaway at the backdrop of what happened in osun state, hold the organizers responsible

I still understand small pikin and xmas caroll joy, but for rice matter, no be small pikin again o...Na both adult and elderly this one dey affect


I hope those affected arent much

Madamvanessa, come and preach to us about the hunger in this region
There are times we need to raise above the lows and don't go lower with those throwing the first mud. This is a very unfortunate incident, we should rather commiserate with the families. Those unfortunate trolls mudslinging SW over the ibadan incident can now see that life is unpredictable. May the deceased rip and God comfort their families.

Oga Peter Obi and other obidient minors, oya come and cry about Tinubu as usual. Come and tell us how it was poverty that led to the stampede.

Those idiots rejoicing and politicizing the Ibadan incident as evident of Yoruba poverty can now hide their faces in shame. This is Anambra, the billionaires capital of SE and people are killing each other over mudu of rice.

And these events were organized by those who should know better, ex Ooni's wife, now, Obijackson. What are coffins doing there already?, were they envisaging the deaths?

Whether the report is verifiably true or not, no one in their right senses would politicize or give ethnic coloration to a calamity that befalls people; irrespective of their region, religion, ethnicity or who they voted for, our shared humanity should always rise above all these primordial & diabolic sentiments.

May the souls of those who have died in avoidable stampedes Rest In Peace. State Governments especially should henceforth start paying closer attention to events that attract large gatherings before it becomes a pattern.
