Ohhh God! This is too sad, RIP little ones.
Lost for words and saddened. My heart aches for humanity! RIP little Angels.
What kind of country is the United States of America? With stupid laws that allow just anybody to buy a gun in a shop. There will be more of this incident. It will never end.
that psycho will rot in hell!! these are young dreams for God sake. may they R.I.P
May their little souls rest in peace, though,if they are nigerian children, American will not care about their death. Linda can you be more African than all these American stories, or are you being inferior to them.
Rest in the bosom of the LORD little angels. May God give ur families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. There is no better time for the American government to act on the law of fire arms possession than this.
May their souls rest in perfect peace at d bossom of God
May their gentle soul rest in perfect peace...Amen
May their souls rest in peace.

wayyy too much evil in this world, i cant deal !!! how can you look at a 6/7 year old and shoot them more than once, and then do that to 20 of them ??? like how ????
May the souls of these angels rest in peace. May the families of these kids and their teachers who exhibited love and courage find the strength to cope with their loss. To Obama for identifying with their pain and to the lesson Jonathan will hopefully learn.
Hummm innocent full of life children#sadden#,what a demonic act!
Chai! lin try edit na.. wetin the clockwise dey do there again.. lol..
rest in peace dear lil uns,,,may God give ur families fortitude to bear these loss.

#ejikebigdick
"The Iittle angels we lost".......Linda you are sometimes pathetic its unbelievable.
I don't see you mentioning the crisis in Congo where women and children are murdered and raped mercilessly. When did you become white or American to be the "we"?
Dear lord i cant bear dz burden in my heart 2 let my tears flow.RIP my little 1nces
Linda ur coverage of dis news don do na..naija pikins dey die everyday from malaria & malnutrition..notin dey happen..
Crazy country,u can just wake up and start killin people,and if u dont kill urself all u get is 10yrs in prison,wen the person suppose get death penalty instantly...crazy laws,crazy country..
U for compile the faces of all those that died at dana and sent to her and see if she would not have published. The compiled names were sent out and which she did publish. Pls cut her some slacks jor. At least the US govt compiled dia own victims pics and posted online. Did ur own country do that for Dana victims?
@Prince Charming, u dey sleep. oya come comment.
Why don't you put up pictures of the children that the US drones murder all over the East, every single day? Whole bunch of hypocrites.
i don vex, i don cry, i don tire....my God, which kind world we dey, where man is so unkind to mankind??? My little angels, may ur souls rest in peace in d bossom of d lord....amen...

We r witnessing death these days in schools. God help us
Rest in peace little angels.
Oooh! Shut up and start ur blog if u dnt like d way she run things here. Read the name u she-goat, its Linda Ikeji's Blog and not Mercy's Blog. Piss off hater!
God bless you , imagine linda saying "we"..... Pure wannabe . Dana crash not one picture of the angels ,now she is forming activity copying and pasting from oyibo website as if she knows the shooting victims
When u are in a country where everybody is allowed to carry gun,this is what u get! When I was listening to press tv commentary this morning I heared there is over 30 million guns in circulation in us!I was also watching emmanuel tv when tb joshua talked about more shooting in the us!may God protect his children.
Linda, has Obama given you US citizenship? I am only asking because your coverage of this story is getting too much. 'How long do you think even CNN would carry a '100 Nigerian children die' headline? The little angels we lost? I am sorry the little angels we lose are the ones who die of hunger and malaria everyday! I don't see you doing a post everyday on those little angels. I am not being callous, people lost their precious babies and that is unimaginable.
Linda, ''We''? Which one be 'we', I nor join oh! What do you expect in a country where everyone has the right to own a gun. The United States of America is a crazy country. It is their problem, let them deal with it.
OMG!! This is so touching deeply in my heart. May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace! So sad lost to the family of the victims.
''One person dies from gun violence every 7 minutes''
''A mass shooting occurs every 5 days in America''
''There are over 300 million guns in America. By some estimate, America has more guns then people''
''Every year an average of 35,000 people die from gun violence in the United States''
''That is 674 people people every week''.
A civilized country indeed!
@Chike Kalu, what right have u to tell someone here to shut up? U sound so RUDE!. It is Linda's blog. And so what?. Everyone got a right to their own opionion.
Hold naija pickins when dey die, the national diaster of dana air this year, did u see one pic of d victims . All she did was publish their names, no picture follow up, no mention of individual tribute or stories .,NONE yet linda wants to over dose us with America news, even calling them WE. Na wah
Sad how we value oyibo more than ourselves.
Wat a World...
May God be with their families
OMG,see young good looking brilliant kid with bright future. May their soul rest in perfect peace. A US facebook friend of mine shared a story of a female teacher who hide her pupils in the cabinet when she sense a problem and by the time the gunman got to the lady class, only her was killed. A martyr indeed. I will share the link here if i get it. Love to have a flat belly, lose some weight, maintain shape with fitness.

But seriously Linda..d use of 'WE' is very corny, cheesy and wanna-be.
U r not American and wen CNN was reporting d Dana crash 4 example, dey neva said WE!!
U use WE wen u live in d same area as d happenning!
U r a journalist..
U must have got a degree Linda!
Stop embarrassing us bikokwa!
Always re-read ur ur stuff b4 u post!
WE in dat term shud b deleted!

@Chike Kalu i think you are the one to SHUT THE FUCK up . That reader is only telling it as it is. Incase you forget the readers are who make Linda Ikeji blog what is it and every reader has a right to their opinion
Since when did Linda become a US citizen that she is saying "we", blc of 2 trips to yanke ????? even i who went to uni of Connecticut they are not we to me. God bless their souls and give them rest but call it for what it is.
when Dana crash happened, i recall readers saying Linda should do a tribute , write about their story or show their beautiful faces. She kept mute and dumb . No Honor or tribute for them, all she did was post that it happened and list the manifest . And yes a post criticizing the wedding for taking place........... Hypocrisy at its best . kmt
Mercy and annonymous 6.29pm why are you hating? Is the the right blog and time to rant about Dana? No disrespect to the Dana plane crash victims and their families but these are sad little innocent children gunned down in such a barbaric manner. Are you so heartless? Is this the Avenue to be comparing oyinbo and blacks? May God help you both
If you are one of those people that came on this story to criticize Linda for not publishing pictures of the Dana air victims, please look yourself in the mirror and say "I AM STUPID". WOW!!! So Linda should have gone to each of the families houses to get a pictures of each victim? I dont understand how some of you reason. Its like some of you are sheeps in human forms, no thinking faculty whatsoever. Must u always criticize? Atleast if u're gonna criticize something, be intelligent enough to do it.. SMH!!
So many cynical and stupid comments here. The americans show value for life, and the coverage on media accross the world follows suit. Its not their fault that Nigerians are so dehumanised that the death of 30 ppl doesn't even make it to network news. If Linda said " we" what is wrong with that? They are children, humans and she is a citizen of the world. Why don't you reject her other stories from the US? Nonsense! She has info about the dead because it was made public. She should write about Nigerian cases? With info from where? Hypocrites!
Yes, I decided to read the comments because I knew some narrow minded people will definitely show themselves. Yes, it is news that Obama went to commiserate with the families. News to Nigerians. Wake up. And reject the disgraceful excuse for leadership that you have. A president who will not even bother to address his people days after they are slaughtered by Boko Haram. America is mourning, its news that 20 children died, that's how it should be. Those talking of Children dying in Nigeria, are they not faceless? Mourn them first, others will join. The same day as a boko haram attack Naija twitter will be gisting about british football as if its goats and chickens that died.
grief! pain! tears! jesus pour out your comfort to the hearts of all grieving at this time... the pain gripped my heart and i havent been able to recover! the fears, the screams, the panic, the shock, the sacrifice,the confusion in a moment created in the hearts of this little angels!!! i do not grief for America, i grief for humanity, i pray for the souls of all the children in the world that their lives are lost dialy due to evils of our environments and societies!!! GOD HAVE MERCY!!!
ADAMS was just a coward.....picked on defenceless and weakest point....was not bold enough to face the real thing...may his soul also rest in peace...(I doubt not)
I CANT EVEN LOOK AT THESE FACES....AM SO SCARED OF A WORLD FILLED WITH HATEFUL EVIL BEINGS....
MAN STABBING KIDS IN CHINA...
MAN SHOOTING KIDS IN USA....
MAN RAPING WHERE HE GETS THE CHANCE...
WHY ARE THESE DEMENTED MEN NOT KILLED ON SIGHT WHEN CAUGHT...
RIP ANGELS.....SO SAD.
RIP ANGELS.....SO SAD.
RIP ANGELS.....SO SAD.
This is so inhumane.. Thank God the shooter killed himself after committing such a gruesome act..that's minus one from the community of sick bastards..
May their innocent and gentle souls,rest in perfect peace..
May their souls rest in perfect peace....
This news has had me in tears since I heard it. Its so heart wrenching that a sicko will take lives of innocent children or even anyone at all. If a sicko decides to take their life, please do so but do not include others. May all the deceased souls rest in perfect peace.
Rest in Peace

smh head at some of these comments.. regardless of who.. regardless of where, LIVES were lost, innocent children's lives were lost.
WE are a part of the HUMAN RACE, so yes it is fitting she says we. When someone dies in another country I grieve with them, they don't have to die in the US for me to be compassionate.
Don't those in the US (or anywhere) sympathize w/the deaths of people overseas? smh!
Or would a 'Nigerian American' have to have died for you guys to deem her post as 'ok'? SMH! I wonder about the thought process of some of you all.
May their innocent beautiful souls RIP.
Did you guys think, that maybe Linda had easier access to the photos of these children, than the ones lost in the plane crash? I don't think I have seen a blog or news post anywhere that had the picture of every single person who died in that plane crash.
May their souls RIP.
...In all the achievements that the US has claimed to itself, emotional Imbalance is a virus eating deep into its people, and it is going to bring the nation down someday...RIP, littles ones. you are all in a better place now!
RIP LITTLE ONES..
Just shading tears!
may God grant their parents the fortitude to bear the loss
Lol.... Funny how I really do not care about this dilemma. Most of the comments I have read just boarders on under exposure. Linda you need to come of this US charade and smell the fresh air. People die everyday, so live with it.
ok RIP little ones but Linda U re a racist we've been loosing thousands of iraq, palestinian, pakistani, iran kids and lots more y are u not posting them its not fair ooo, repent oooooo
Linda i will do a tribute with as many pictures of Dana Air victims for you to publish on their anniversary and send to you , if you dont then i know you are a big .... (complete the rest O )
Stay blessed
Please respect the dead, these are innocent souls, innocent, there are different races affected, maybe u should have blogged about the Congolese angels too . It is really an abomination when the young die so young like that , please rememember them in ur prayers, we are all God's people , white or black !
Please respect the dead ! Black or white , we are God's people.
It is not better in Nigeria!
Did your country release the pics of the children malaria, nothing can satisfy u people, instead of u to mourn these innocent souls, these children are innocent souls, please respect them.
Look at these beautiful children. May their souls rest in peace.

These adorable children, may their gentle souls rest in perfect peace. May the good Lord grant their parents the fortitude to bear this loss. Oh, darling darling adorables.
