The cost of safety can't be equated to the cost of ignorance. "I don't care" na person wey e never reach him side.
Don't wait until it happens, stop been reactive be proactive. The rate of building collapse might be on the increase and until people are held
accountable for cutting corners we are not sure these will end anytime soon.

Say something!! And do something!!! that way we develop a culture where safety of lives and properties becomes a norm. Be safe always do have a great weekend. #SafetyFirst

It’s Mothering Sunday. One month after Valentine’s Day. My first weekend in the capital city in 2021. It had a slow start. Lounging! And more lounging! A long awaited visit from the man who introduced me to the social circuit in the garden city
in 1992. A long drive northward to the foot of Zuma rock. A breathtaking view, nice eighteen-hole golf course. A resort of some kind.
