Forty Persons Injured In Lagos Fire Cracker Warehouse Inferno
A fire cracker warehouse today sparked a major fire outbreak in the Jankara area of Lagos.
The massive fire gutted eight houses and injured forty people according to Ibrahim Farinloye, the National Emergency Management Agency spokesperson in Lagos.
Explosions from the "knockouts" caused panic amongst residents of the area.
NEMA said the army, navy and airforce joined in putting out the fire by midday.
One person reported dead from the fire.
The use of fire crackers was banned in Lagos state
The use fire cracker was banmed in Lagos state but the govt. of Lagos state ignore its danger evem they are freely used this season.
Fashola is speakong out of his ass, that is medicine after death.
Pool room
Nigeria has polymorphous of change as the cafe of canivals, kidnapers, terrorist, with full of demoralization, savages and illitrate till when their Masters ( white man) came to this Nation; who fuck their Mothers which resulted to change of their skin colour. Today North is what they accuse for nothing after it gave their birth. Who start Biafra war and how it started? Listing to the pools!! we knew your long plan of killing Northers which you gets a chance by using a word BH.
How can the military, navy
How can the military, navy called to put out fire outbreaks?That shows what fashola and tinubu put in place to combat fire outbreaks. All nigeria leaders are clueless.I recently traveled around Williams Avenue in surulere, where I observed an old fire truck probably from soviet union. I wonder if thee truck can move talk less of putting outfire. Tinubu just completed a five star hotel, driving modern american car but contracted old trucks to put out fire. If the government had enough fire fighters, there will be no need for the navy and the soldiers. Time will tell. May the soul of the dead rest in perfect peace.
Boko Haram or no boko haram,
Boko Haram or no boko haram, am not in supportive of it, it is d Northern oligarchy who said if they did not win d election they wil make Nigeria on governable, so we ar beggin d whole Nigeria let stnd on our fit and fit way tribalism, muhammedalism out of the system in the HOLY NAME MAHARAJ JI
Monumental Loss
Suliat, what you say is true, a reflection of the sad sorry state of affairs in 9ja.
Firecracker warehouse infernos is becoming an annual event in Lagos. It's happened every year in the last few years at different locations. I would have expected the state goverment to either barn the importation or massive storage of firecrackers by now. Especially since the importers have consistently refused to implement satefy standards that will prevent this jind of occurence.
Christian pagan
I am thinking you are christian pagan, a good christian is one who is not insult any religion, tribe, person.
government should stop any
government should stop any fire cracker warehouse for safety purpose o.
solution
The problem is that houses in lagos island are too close to each other, there is no space between one building to another that is Wђγ̲̣̣̥ the fire can easily move from one building to another.
"they" said they will get lagos. i guess this is it!!!
boko haram has finally caught up with attacking lagos. i guess burning down buildings in lagos is their new "MO"
FIRE WORKS ,CRACKRS AND KNOCK OUTS
IF WE HAVE A PRESIDENT IN NIGERIA WHO IS NOT HOLED UP IN ASO ROCK HE SHOULD ADDRESSED THE NATION AND IMMEDIATELY PUT A BAN ON THE THE IMPORTATION , SALES AND USE OF FIRE CRACKERS AND KNOCK OUT .AT TIMES MOST OF THESE FIRE CRACKERS SOUND LIKR REAL GUNS AND BOMBS .THIS WHAT AN IMBECILE AND DULLARD PRESIDENT IS CAUSING NIGERIA .EVEN THE CONFIDENT BUILDINGS OF THE WICKED RULERS AT EVERY LEVEL WILL NOT BE SPARED IN TIME TO COME
Let us grow up please! A
Let us grow up please! A disaster happens and the next thing pundits like some of the commentators do is ascribe it to groups. People should engage themselves in meaningful things rather than pointing accusing fingers. May the Almighty grant those that sustain injuries strength and heal their wounds.
The Elite
Just because of an accidental fire cracker, you are screaming bloody murder!!! The south west is still the most peaceful part of naija love it or hate it. Ndigbo or whatever you call yourselves u can all pack your bags and return to your lands if Yorubas are too much to handle. Yorubas remain the elite unlike some people that comment in forums like this as if they have been biten by mad dogs!
when will these stop
Mr ndigbo pls stop the abuses aNd these can not achieve anything. We are oNe nigeria
Haba!
Every disaster Mallams?WHY?plese try to be reasonable in all your comments. Oh God have mercy on us. We are almost finished.
judge not!
Wat dat has happen 2day in lagos shows dat nigeria lacks security
Wise. I won't say the cause of the fire outbreak or rather blame anybody, but I will try to caution those mentioning names like boko
Haram or islamic jihad. Please do not try to divide this country
All in the name of religion. All we need do is to look for the way out to solve these menace. Our leaders are just trying to hide under
One finger, don't tell me they do not know the genesis of this our problems. They just pretend as long as it doesn't affect them. So
Pls nigerian let us be wise. We should not let thousandner(govt.) fool millioner(nigerians). Let begin to ask them what they are doing
Wt our resources. U hardly found their family in those affected places. Niga eja ka ronu ooooooo! Let think very well and not to divert blame on non existence group.
CREATE JOBS FOR PEOPLE LIKE OTILE
Please gov't should create jobs to these sons of Pami sellers and canoe mechanics. People like Otile should be given job, so that he can be engaged doing something better than wasting his time here. All we the Hausa-Fulanis are far better than all the generations of the South-south people. The only thing SS man can do is cooking and sweeping while the woman will sell her waste to feed his children. So they are too lazy, while Hausas are hardworking and highly religious.
TRIBALIST OLEKU
@Oleku you can't comment without bringing religious, regional, Tribal, sectional and Geographical sentiment to your ideas. Wake up you fooool! Nigeria has gone beyond your premitive sence. Every incidence is either attached to Jonathan or Boko Haram even your stupidity. MUMU.
Tell Obasanjo
...that the new year will bring new ideas and new things to those who are holding the nation hostage.
... that he is not completely off the hook - not yet.
... that fire is often an effective means of fighting fires
... that new year is here in Lagos.
u are a fool and a stupid
u are a fool and a stupid citizen. Idiot!
The authorities are trying to
The authorities are trying to be politically correct. This is a aborted attempt by Boko Haram to blow up places in the South. They know this is Christmas time and people may mistake their mischief to bomb our places for fire works. The authorities must investigate the abokis further.
Why Always mallams?
Why Always mallams?
Told you
Are the authorities sure that this is not a boko attack? Some mallams must have been loitering in the area. The authorities must immediately vet all available CCTV materials of that area. These mallams are slowly becoming a pain in the arse.
May the soul of the dead
May the soul of the dead person rest in peace. May those. who got injured heal quickly.
It seemed we are reaping the harvest of election rigging that brought jonathan- deaths from air crashes, plane crashes, kidnappings, terrorism, cannibalism, hypocrisy and cultism.
Monumental Loss
The army, the navy and airforce joined in putting out the fire and eight houses burnt, i wonder what would have happened if they didnt - the whole of Lagos would have been gutted by the inferno!!!
that is tinubu and fashola for u
the legacies of tinubu and fashola in lagos
Government should ban the importation and sale of fire crackers.
It should be a criminal offence in Nigeria to trade in or sell fire crackers 'bombs'
What Nigeria needs is discipline. Those bastards that throws fire crackers hardly lets one sleeps nowadays. A lot of them are ignorant, fatherless, touts, armed robbers and miscreants in our society. Who can spend hard earned money on the purchase of fire crackers except thieves, vagabonds and mad men in the society who kill and steal from people. Bastards. They should all be shot dead.
The "fire cracker" warehouse
The "fire cracker" warehouse might as well have been the Boko Haram's IED factory/warehouse. After all a lot of people have been questioning how and where BH get their ammunitions. Although we still believe that BH is sponsored by some "prominent" Nigerians in order for them to "realised" their political ambition.
It looks terrible from the
It looks terrible from the photos i see. Such hazardous warehouses, shops, stores, workshops etc should not be located amidst densly populated residential areas.
The chicken is back home to roast...
It was just a matter of time before the Islamic crusaders get to lagos. How will the cowardice Yorubas survive the Hausa-fulani islamic invaders should be a question on the lips of every naijas. As we all know they are too lazy and very weak that a sound of a knockout could make an average Yoruba scamper for safety. A case study is Kwara state where the Hausa-fulani islamic faithfuls have invaded and installed an Emir. I wonder what the situation will be like now that the bonobos have take their Jihad to lagos and the southwest. Could it be that they regard Lagos and its environs as part of their sharia enclaves and want to install an Emir all over the SW region or perhaps the sins committed against Ndigbo during the naija civil war is hunting them. Not even the life of an igbo chicken was spared by the naija oppressors. All the murdered souls of Ndigbo during the war can't go in vain. May God puts enemity and the spirits of explosion among the oppressors of Biafra.
You see
can you imagine now. Everything in excess in my country. Asekoja ala
