OMG, see life. While people in Sahara desert are eager and praying fervently for rainfall but Lagosians are asking for the opposite. RIP to the dead...

RIP to all the victims. I wished those killed were those useless boko haram, i would have been celebrating with an expensive indian palm wine. But anyway, i wish all the dead a peaceful rest in the bosom of God Almighty.
KINDLY IGNORE ANY TYPING ERROR, IT'S CALLED SLIP OF FINGER. R.I.P HATERS.
