Importance of Health and safety measures

26 people where killed as a Nigerian bridal party's canoe capsizes.This tragedy happened at Kano and it is so sad that health and safety measures are ignored by people who should know better. More care could have been taken to avert such unnecessary calamity. The canoe was packed with wedding guests escorting a bride to her new husband. It capsized, leaving at least 26 passengers dead. In a bid to maximise profits, boats are often packed beyond capacity by captains. What a waste of life. Some people do not have respect for the lives of people or their safety or well being especially in Africa where health and safety is taken less seriously and until every life is taken to be worth living and respected in Africa by Africans themselves, other races will continue to disrespect us.

And my prayer also goes to the Zimbabweans who are helpless in what happens to be a mockery of the democratic system in Africa. I hope that God brings a saviour for the common man there as enough is enough of innocent citizens suffering just because of some greedy corrupt leaders.
