I thank God that the 44 students and the teacher were found alive. Bishop Badejo must have had a hard time when it happened right in his diocese.

I agree, Zuzana, that was a great fear for the whole diocese. I'm glad they're back alive and well, even though they'll probably need time to recover. Bishop Badejo must have had a harder time than you say.

I agree, Eva, those 44 students and teachers were really lucky. I wonder if the diocese is already talking about any specific help for their families, because the recovery will not be easy. Bishop Badejo probably lived through it more than he lets on.

I agree Eva, the fear must have been really hard for everyone in Oyo. I hope that the diocese has already started praying for their peaceful recovery, because psychologically it was probably not easy. What do you think, will some psychologists help them there?
