    Another tragedy on a festive day while people are in church worshipping God??
    May their souls rest in peace.
    The way buildings collapse on individuals in Naija ehn,read one even happened in ilorin,kwara.This time it was church pillar.
    Where are the structural Engineers and architects in Nigeria?Is there an organisation that monitors building constructions in Naija?I suspect substandard materials may have been used to erect the church.And my president has a brand new church "dashed" to his village.
    God please remove the flies from the tailless cows,Amen.

  8. God is in spirit and folks who worship him will have to do so in spirit as well that they may know his mind in other to be saving (John 4: 24).

    What about the citation which made it lucid that even though I walk through the darkest valley of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me? (Psalm 23).

    May the souls of the departed once be rest in perfect peace Amen?
