Even okada men had camera phones! yet no one could bring an extinguisher Although it has far past extinguisher stage, the fire service should be embarrassed |

@op, It's one thing to know how to use it, it's anoda to be able 2 combat fire. The car in question might have a fire extinguisher which is now completely burnt. To use, follow d PASS: P: Pull d pin- the handle serves 2 purposes, 1stly, when d pin is intact, it helps to carry. 2ndly, when d pin is removed, it serves as a pulley A: Aim at d base of d fire- the source of any burning fire is below while d flame burns above. So target d base always. S: squeeze d handle. To extinguish, u make d pulley effective by discharging d content. S: sweep from side 2 side- fire spreads fast. When u sweep side to side, u try cover an area which will not allow it expand BUT, ensure that u dont ignore d source before u exhausting d extinguishant. So cover area of source. . . U need 2 be tactful, courageous and bold 2 face d enemy (fire). Above all, when it is not safe, dont do, escape 4 ur life!!! If u need practical experience, I can put u through. 08037250290.

Thats a nice road with line in nig . Lagos should please ban this okada, they.are like nuisance ! If they really need job they can go to their village and start farming, it will help a lot, provide food for themselves, for the nations and even for the billion starving ppl on earth! Instead everyone want to live in the city, sit on top of a two cycle machine and feed on less than a dollar per day, lazy dumbas..s negros |

So recording the fire incident on their phones seems much better to them than trying to put it out. Nigerians would never cease to amuse me. |

27naira: Oando doesn't have fire extinguishers? That was the first thing that came to my mind. Even those who were buying gas or who had cars around could have helped but who knows maybe they had the mindset of they were keeping it perhaps they may experience same in the near future. |

Sad,my heart goes out to the person that loose that car to the fire. @toaskarity.so all the okadamen men are suppose to be farmers? FYI.many okadamen on the island especially makes thousands of naira daily.tons of families depend on the proceeds from their operations. The okada is still very useful in lagos;they can look at phasing it out upon the introduction of better mass transit like trains and metro rail. This reasoning of yours is mind bending.smh |
