“This is a post to say thank God for His faithfulness. Around 12:30 pm, the AC in our kitchen caught fire while we were getting ready to go out for brunch. The help informed us, and Chioma ran out with the kids to get her car keys.”

“It’s always good to build a community because today, my community showed up and fought the fire. Drivers, gatemen, and house owners stepped in and restricted the fire to the kitchen.”

“The amazing part was the Lagos State Fire Service arriving on time in a brand-new truck. We bash the government, but today I am here to say thank you to Lagos State Government and Gov. Babajide. We thank God Almighty for His mercy and grace. Help me say thank you.”
