It is ironical when people attribute their negligence to an act of God. If the building was properly built in the right way, the unfortunate incident won't have happened, except it were for natural causes like earthquake, tsunami and the likes.

Religion has clouded our reasoning in Nigeria!


Two girls of school age were on Sunday in Nakasari Ward in the Sokoto South Local Government Area, killed in their sleep when a building, housing them, collapsed.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the house, belonging to one Malam Mohammed Isa, collapsed after a heavy rainfall.

The two sisters have since been buried in accordance with Islamic rites.

Many sympathisers had been visiting Isa's compound to condole with the family of the deceased.

Speaking with NAN, Isa said, "It is Allah we all come from and it is to Him we are all going back. That is all I will say."

OMG! Can we attribute it to substandard materials used in building the house or aging? Who is to be blamed for the unfortunate incident?
