ReplyDeleteRip. If there was light and they had money to buy cable, then stay at the comfort of their homes to watch the match his tragedy wouldn't have happened.

ReplyDeleteJesus christ...OMG. ....that's tragic
ReplyDeleteThis is a tragedy. May God have mercy on us and may their souls rest in peace, amen.
ReplyDeletePls our ppl be careful this country is some thing alse
ReplyDeleteIf only we Nigerians will learn how to be cautious. How can someone build anything under or near a transformer and people sit in it and feel comfortable watching a game. I can't believe us abeg. I know govt will be blamed for this one too.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that it was very wrong to build a structure close to such facility but at the same time,i believe there are government officials in charge of preventing or removing such anomaly. We all should be proactive. It is quite sad that as much as 30 people will die and status quo remains. It is as if we are waiting for the next tragedy to occur
DeleteMay their gentle soul rest in peace.ths like dis r never expected or predicted...
ReplyDeleteIt is well o.
ReplyDeleteThis is not Ordinary.. Only God will save us..
ReplyDeleteLet's be realistic to our self is right to build any inhabit structure under high tension but if government has take action to demolish such structure is we Nigerian that we be saying a lot of rubbish well it's a lesson to learn.
ReplyDeleteIt was an accident,until it is investigated we can come to conclusions.
DeleteMay their soul rest in peace sad mood!.
ReplyDeleteIt's well... dee
ReplyDeleteIt's possible that the transformer has shown sign of falling before it's finally fell, Just like one wooding electric pole at my area in lagos that is bent over for more than 3years now. Lack of maintenance culture is killing Nigeria. God save us.
ReplyDeleteJimoh you made sense,but the grammar...
ReplyDeleteOh my God this is very bad
ReplyDeleteView www.ibomecho.ml for. More news

ReplyDeleteChei really sad, may there souls rest in peace
ReplyDeleteMay their soul rest in peace.....PLEASE DON'T BUILD UNDER HIGH TENSION WIRES MY PEOPLE..Government will not even answer them,that the bitter truth..if the owner of the place survived,he can go to jail for that .These laws are made to be kept..now see what has happened...DISOBEDIENCE
ReplyDeleteJesus have mercy dat is why is not good to stay under high tension in case of something like this
ReplyDeleteOh God have mercy on us.... May their souls rest in perfect peace
ReplyDeleteChai! U see person 2day 2moro u no see am again. God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteHe made me swallow His Sperm After A Night Out, Now He Is Not Picking My Calls - 19-year-old Cries Out
ReplyDeleteWho is in charge of that transformer and why did it fall? When we start holding people accountable such things won't happen. In a civilized society that person would be in jail for this
ReplyDeleteThis is due to failure of PHCN in Complying with standard Health and Safety rules.
ReplyDeleteSo sad...
ReplyDeleteMay their souls rest in perfect peace... God have mercy on us
ReplyDeleteGod!!! This is heartbreaking! Beautiful souls destroyed by pples irresponsibility. If u investigate u will find out, that the transformer that exploded may hv given several warning signs. Yet nothing was done. And I find it hard to understand that humongous gathering to watch football,heh?!! even with pple who hv dstv at home. My brothers are case in point. God pls deliver us. Highly unnecessary!!!
ReplyDeletePlease explain this statement "a transformer fell"... Fell from where? What is hanging somewhere? Was it on the ground and tipped over somehow?
ReplyDeleteIts so unfortunate. May their souls rest in peace.
ReplyDeletekai soooo sad ooo!
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
