On the 27th of January, an incident that altered the lives of many people occurred in Lagos. On this fateful day, which is now termed "Black Sunday",saw high caliber artillery explosives that were kept in the Ikeja Military Cantonment Armoured Technical Dump going off. The explosions were so great many people thought it was the end of the world or that a war has started. In the panic and stampede that followed so many lives were lost.

The Lagos Explosion Relief Aid Agency is a non-governmental organization whose main objective is to raise funds to bring relief and succour to the tens of thousands of Nigerians who lost everything they worked for their whole life. So many lost their fathers, mothers, children's and properties worth millions of dollars. Factories, Hospitals, Shops and Schools were totally destroyed.

This organization, working in harmony with other international aid agencies is hoping your good self will be willing to assist either financially or materially in bringing relief to fellow human beings, who due to the recklessness and negligence of the Federal government have lost all their possessions. Whatever little amount you contribute shall definitely go along way in helping a family cope with their misfortune.
