Nollywood actress Stephanie Coker has said decried the deaths of several persons at the collapsed building in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Writing on her IG stories, Coker said Nigerians have been desensitized to trauma and deaths.
“We live haphazardly in Nigeria and subjected to so much trauma. We have to pray about everything because the bare minimum standards are nonexistent in most sectors in Nigeria,” she wrote.
“Citizens have become desensitised to the most horrific accidents. It’s not normal for a trailer to fall on a car. It’s not normal for a building to just collapse.”
“I couldn’t even sleep last night just thinking about the human beings trapped in Ikoyi. There needs to be more value placed on the human lives in Nigeria.”
