 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Are the Igbos cursed or are we the architects of our own problems?—-Ifeanyi Ejiofor


A human rights lawyer and lead counsel for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has described the challenges facing the South-East region in Nigeria as largely self-inflicted.


Ejiofor lamented that the Igbo are victims of systemic conspiracies, both external and internal, but more importantly, victims of their own disunity and self-inflicted wounds, and internal betrayal, adding that the persistent exclusion and political setbacks experienced by the region cannot succeed without the complicity of certain Igbo individuals.


In the statement he issued on Tuesday titled, ‘Are Igbos cursed or the architects of their own predicament? – A call for self-reflection, renaissance, and redefinition of Igbo destiny’, Ejiofor argued that the systematic marginalisation of the Igbo in Nigeria’s political landscape has often been enabled by internal disunity, self-serving elites, and shortsighted leadership.


He lamented that, sadly, it is a painful reality that no significant prejudice, sabotage, or orchestrated exclusion against the Igbo nation in Nigeria’s political chessboard succeeds without the complicity or treachery of fellow Igbos.
