Taking to her Twitter page, the award-winning singer, who has always advocated for worthy causes, asked if there would be no heads rolling for this great mishap.

“Someplace else, people would go to jail and/or be sued for all d money they ever had. INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT!! Because there should be offices that do these checks to make sure buildings are okay to live in or use for a school. Accountability is necessary for progress.”
“But here we just say “God knws what He’s doing”. But He didn’t do this
We say “Let’s just pray.” But we have. And he keeps answering us by giving us common sense. It’s so sad. I can’t even begin to imagine how the people who have family/friends in the rubble feel. Sigh.”
