      #smh - PHCN should do a nationwide safety checks and ensure these don't happen again.

      He's much better and will be discharged today.

    Linda there's something seriously wrong with the rulership of this country. I observed in some streets in lagos that the electric poles are already slanting and could fall and hurt sm1 @ anytime. But the local govt won't do anything until it kills sm1. One fell in my area and sm1 was injured. They always wait till its very bad before they act!thats so pathetic.
