The rate at which buildings collapse in Nigeria & killing people and destroying properties is getting out of hand. The govt needa do something about it. (Death that coulda been prevented.) These buildings won't be collapsing & killing ppl if this yeye govt played their role. If they weren't built & handled by quacks, use of weak materials, handled by unskilled professionals, negligence of planning, poor & bad construction etc. Instead they wanna use billions of money on food & refreshments. I pity the mother that lost her two kids. Her blessing. May God bless her with more children. Rest in peace to those kids and others that died. May the mother have quick & successful recovery and may God give her strength to bear her great loss.
