Oh my God. This is Sad. May the Almighty God comfort their families.

Deep condolences, Nigeria. LagosBuildingCollapse

So sad.

May there soul rest in perfect peace and the family should fortitude the loss....... Sooo painful

Sad.

This is absurd, but unfortunately, instead of investigating this incident & taking the appropriate actions needed to forestall recurrence of such, the matter may soon be forgotten. But we must be able to follow the rules & regulations guiding construction in order to be safe.

God have mercy on us and deliver us from ourselves. Awa ara wa la n se 'ra wa.

very bad

Sad

In that same shitty Lagos island you will find more houses that can never pass the test of standard and all still cohabiting lagosians. Even this people knew the structure could give way anytime but they will say GOD FORBID BAD THING INSTEAD OF PROACTIVE MEASURES

It’s all part of God’s plan. 🙏🏾

It's high time for us to hold our civil engineers responsible for their negligence.

Incompetence. Impotence. Shamelessness.Made in Nigeria. Only for Nigerians.

Ewoooo 🙆🙆🙆🙆 Jesus 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ooo no God grant their families fortitude to bear the irreparable losses,very saddening
