NO.

2. Was the fire cracker shop illegally located as stipulated in any Federal Law or Lagos State Law?!

NO.

3. Did the shop violate any known federal or Lagos state laws with regards safety or health harzard?!

NO..

4. So on what basis are these Yoruba people calling for the prosecution of the shop owner?!

Absolutely Nothing but cheap Alomo and Amala induced sentiments..

ACM10:

Eccentric Okija juju. . .
Bia nwokem, I will like to sip a little of your Nri palmwine.

Nwannem, I shall be Live in Nnewi Tomorrow and Nri on Saturday, send me your location and I will DHL you 50Litres free of charge...

Bliss4Lyfe: Fashola should ans dat question? Afterall, he is the one choppin the tax money from the business. As long as the imports are not drugs or ammunition or dangerous to liv, then they are legitimate business for a Nigerian.

We want to encourage people to seek an honest living not kidnappers, drug dealers or armed robbery. Perhaps Fashola is tryin to encourage the alternative to a honest living or create poverty and desperation.

Fires happen all over the world and as such his comments are off track. Improve the fire services Fashola...

oyb:

you of all people - a worker in the oil industry should know better - fireworks are hazardous materials and should not be stored in residential areas.

dayokanu:

Security guard for Totalfinaelf sef na Oil industry worker :d

DaLover: Usually in sane countries, people would ask for the heads of the regulatory agencies who failed to protect the people...but in nigeria the sitting governor uses the opportunity to whip up ethnic sentiments.

Before he brought brt busses to lagos...molues were killing people falling into the rivers, etc...such statements did not come from the governor..

The governor has forgotten that the unfortunate event was allowed to happen because one or two of his agencies have failed in their responsibilities....

Anyhow it's always easier to blame than to act

Eko Ile: Well, we all know the money hungry folks he was appealing to. Unfortunately, you can not keep appealing to these money hungry and do anything for money hungry beasts, you have to lock them up or keep them out.

shymexx: Oh well - perhaps, I need to cite the average IQ of Nigerians again...

However, when the same government start coming hard on these people, you lot are going to start screaming tribalism, elitism, high handedness etc.. You can't eat your cake and have it... Get with the programme and act civilised, or get swept away by the wind of change... It's 2013 for crying out loud!!

Pharoh: So what is the work of a regulatory agency?

dayokanu: Some people dont care as long as they make the money even if its by selling chalk as paracetamol, Sachet pure water as drip etc

DaLover:

How does one answer such a question?
Who prevents people from using residential buildings as commercial storage points?

DaLover:
Since when has shouting ever prevented fash from performing his duties? Or it is because there is no immigrate money to be made by Tinubu? Sorry but your governor just exposed himself as a tribal bigot...this is not expected from a man of his calibre...

Provide adequate environment for people to do business and come down hard on anybody violating...that's all we are asking....stop blaming Igbosi when you fail...

Pharoh:

Though i am asking that question in light of someone saying u don't need an agency or authority to tell you not to do in some certain things.

Now to answer your question, there are housing management authority, agencies that have housing estates and government environmental agencies that should be responsible for this. If someone is using a residential area for commercial storage of goods then there should be appropriate authority that they can be reported to who can come in to fix this illegality.

Due to our peculiar system of individuals owning residential properties then the landlord of the place should be contacted or they can take the case to the local government to report the illegality. Do you want to tell me now that someone can just convert his house into a commercial storage facility in a well regulated estate like Victoria garden city or the likes without the appropriate authority or the housing agency in charge taking care of this?.

DaLover:

Yes, they can, many residential building are converted to commercial buildings outside of the master plans in VI, lagos and elsewhere in nigeria, and we see this everyday ...agencies of government fail, hence the government fails...but decides to blame others

shymexx:

This has nothing to do with any ethnic group but more to do with the hazards that come with this type of business... At least, if you're going to do anything as hazardous as this, it's better to do it that right way, take the necessary precautions, and don't endanger other people's lives and properties just because you want to make a few bucks...

It's just common sense... However, most Nigerians are too greedy...

shymexx:


For how long are you going to blame the government for everything?? Nigerians also need to start taking responsibilities for some of their actions...
