Word of the Day: “However hard a lizard would do a press up, it will never have an alligators chest.” – Nigerian Proverb.
Today in history in 2002, “An ammunition depot in Lagos, Nigeria explodes, spreading fire that destroys much of the northern part of the city and causing a panic. The explosion and resulting stampede kill 1,100, and injure thousands. An investigation will find the army failed to dispose of the munitions after the base was closed last year.” – Source: https://www.africatodayyesterday.org/days/27-jan
