Fire Reported At Murtala Muhammed International Airport In Lagos-PUNCH

Smoke billowing out of the airport building earlier today
By Punch newspaper, Lagos

An electrical fire was on Thursday morning reported at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

An eyewitness said the fire emanated from some cables, which apparently melted under heat, as some welders were working at the extension of ‘D’ Wing of the international airport.

Airport officials swiftly cut off power supply to the arrival and departure halls, in order to forestall any untoward development and isolated the scene of the spark.
Billows of smoke were observed rising to the sky from behind the arrival hall.

Fire fighters were also deployed in the affected area and were able to put the situation under control.

Securitymen also erected a metal barricade around the site.

Power supply was restored to the airport terminal within a few minutes.

Flight operations were, however, not affected while the incident lasted.

In a separate incident, a cargo plane blew off the roof of a parking lot at the airport on Wednesday night, causing damage to some cars.

The extent of damage has yet to be ascertained.

Cargo plane blew off roof? Is

Cargo plane blew off roof? Is the roof by the runway or was it poorly constructed? What the hell is happening in Nigeria?

Security operatives should be

Security operatives should be vigilant in the airports to protect lives and properties of travellers.

THEY MUST BE AGENTS OF ANTI-NORTH!

The eye witness said the gunmen were southerners speaking English. They even came together with the French man discussing issues. We Katsina people are sure it must be a plan to deny us the opportunity given to us by late Yar'adua.

Nigeria my fatherland.

This fire happened so that the contract for the renovation and expansion of the terminal can be revoked.
Even at that, a building of such importance should have enough fire extinguishers and water channels to neutralize any fire in its infancy. It pains me more because the man who supposedly should stir the ship is not in charge and less concerned.
When he finally hits the iceberg, God bless his soul as I doubt if there would be any kinsman left to save him.

Nigeria Jaga JagaPeA

Nigeria jaga jaga. That song that Obj's government banned still plays. The nation needs a new beginning. Our problem has been wicked/corrupt past and present leaders. However God will wipe them off, soon.

Now they will spend our SS&SE money to repair this airport

Now they will spend our SS&SE money to repair this airport...but what benefit is derivable from a SS citizen like me being in the same continent as regions 3-6 below.

Take a look at the statistics of Regional contribution to the Continent's treasury:

1. South South(SS) ---> 62%
2. South East (SE) ---> 36.5%
3. South West (SW) ---> 1.5%
4. North East (NE) ---> 0%
5. North West (NW) ---> 0%
6. North Central(NC) -->0%

What is the use of regions/countries 3-6?

The SS&SE cannot continue with these barren people. IMPOSSIBLE.

Long live the United States of the SS&SE

Mansur, If the mallams are

Mansur,

If the mallams are his fellow Nigerians how many people from his land, SE or SS can get a contract in mallams' Arewa land? How many SE people have been murdered by the mallams in the name of one Nigeria? Mansur, stop deceiving us. You are all in it for our oil.

@Sultan of ARNA

Your hatred of Hausa Fulani Muslims
Muslims wont take you anywhere. The earlier you understand that you are nothing but a slave understand the occupation of Hausa Fulanis in Naijah,
the better for you to ease ur frustrations. HAUSA FULANIS ARE NATURALLY BORN TO RULE NAIJAH!!! Kafirin Banza

Ask OBJ what happened to the money..God dey!

Ask OBJ what happened to the money voted for the TRUE LAGOS AIRPORT they were supposed to construct in the 70's!

Kenya spent less than half the amount Nigeria used in constructing this death trap and THEY HAD A BETTER AIRPORT BUILT THEN. Lagos Airport is unkempt, old and abandoned like everything Nigerian. SCRAP it, award a new contract and let Okonjo supervise it the way she supervised the debt swap!

Merry christmas to all the "GIFTED" Nigerians.

Afterall it is SS and SE oil money. Eat, drink and be Merry for tomorrow WE SHALL ALL DIE!

As for you other Nigerians, what can I say? Make do with your $2 daily earnings! They still sell chicken intestine in the market, abi? Cow intestine, HOOF and skin, "pomo" is probably too expensive now. God dey!

Smells Like A Boko Haram Handiwork

In recent days in Pakistan, islamic Talibans attacked and killed several health workers who were administering polio vacinations on Pakistani children prompting the UN to withdraw its polio eradication activities in Pakistan. You might say that this is unrelated story, but it goes to support the various nefarious ways that moslems use to sabotage progress.

NATIONAL EYESORE!

Let's hope the national eyesore burns down completely, so that a new modern airport will replace it. These rulers have no shame. Aren't these people seeing what other countries are doing with their oil money?

MMA fire

Only (very common) commoners need worry:

all VIPS have long since been flow out to hospitals in Indo-Germany !

I shall soon suppkly the full list in the Naija wards in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Munich, Wiesbaden - not to get Freiburg, and Zurich !

Sorry: got that one wrong - Zurich is in Switzerland,and that is where the VIPS keep their monies.
Had this just confirmed by the Abachas (plural!)IBB, the Otta farmer, 'amongst others' (that is Naija parlance, as my friend KPEROGI tends to write, whgere it is IBRUISTIC !!!)

Prof-of-penkele-polyglottisms

PS:

Haba sultan! Remember mallams

Haba sultan! Remember mallams are your fellow Nigerians

LORD HAVE MERCY

Oh God do not visit us with the sins of our fathers. Oh Lord have mercy on the Aviation, I mean the Transport system in Nigeria.
My God if you are angry that our rulers after destroying the railways, roads and waterways have all descended on the air transport which is even closer to you in Heaven, please remember the poor and the helpless. Lord have Mercy.

May God in his infinite mercy protect his own

Boko?

One cannot be careful enough, keep all those mallams in Lagos under strict and severe Surveillance.
