The floodgates of the heavens was all opened on the 24th
of September ,2014 as Muslim faithful prepared for the Eid Il Kabir early
morning prayers.
At the Yaya Abatan Junction’s Ogab make shift prayer ground,
Checks by the News Office Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria showed that as early as
8:00a.m. the entire Thomas Salako Street in Ogba had been cordoned –off to ward
off motorists.
At around 10:00a.m .the rains became very intense but
muslims still managed to say the mandatory prayers to celebrate the patriarch ,Prophet
Ibrahim’S Obedience to Almighty Allah.
The patriarch Abraham some called Avraham by the Jews is
regarded as an Iconic figure and the father of faith by Jews ,Christians and
Muslims alike .
A source who met with
this reporter on the way from the state secretariat mosque used by NASFAT,an
Islamic organization stated that the rain did not in any way affect prayers and prayed to almighty God to continue
to stand by the nation at this critical
period in Nigeria.
At around 1:00 P.m. Paedia Express Multimedia gathered that
there was massive stampede in far away Mecca,Saudi Arabia during the stoning-
of -the –devil ritual leading to the
death of over 700 pilgrims as at press time.
The Saudi leadership had laid the entire blames of the
stampede that led to the loss of lives on pilgrims from Africa.
Analysts say that the 2015 pilgrimage may go down in history
as one of the most tragic in terms of loss of lives ,coming shortly after the
recent tragic crane incident.
Paedia Express Multimedia ‘s Editorial and Policy Board urge
the Saudi Arabian Authurities to do something urgent as regards the safety and
security of lives of pilgrims since they make millions of dollars from faith
based tourism annually.
They can introduce Quta System into Hajj operations such
that anybody who has performed the Hajj once in his lifetime should not be allowed to go again,this way the level of
human traffic will be regulated.
It is very obvious that the increasing human population on a
yearly basis is putting a lot of pressure on the facilities thus leading to
deaths.
Paedia Express Multimedia ‘s Policy and Editorial Board will
also urge the Saudi King who is the custodian
of the holiest spot in Islam ,The Kaaba and The Prophet’s Mosque,Al Masjid Al Nabawi in
Medina to use his good offices by ordering the rams slaughtered by pilgrims but
now largely reduced to wastes are cleared
to be frozen for usage later .
The frozen meat should be handed over to the leadership of
the World Food Program in concert with the United Nations and this can be used
to feed the poor nations of the World,even Almighty Allah will bless this type
of arrangement .
