Is this Market in Lagos?

Ibadan.

eliment: guy are you OK? that fire outbreak we're talking about or you can't understand simple English

No mind him he never take his night drug...

All gone.

django1: All gone.

Oh my God! is the entire market burnt? Which side exactly is this, carpark\front side, or the back (plastics) side, or down the pepper side? Everywhere? I intend to go there tomorrow to pick up a few things and this news just broke my heart because I have been postponing this for weeks now.

Do you know how it started?.

And those trying to tribalise this, trust me when I say more than 70% of those in that market are igbos, especially the front.

django1:

Have you opened a thread in the throngs of thousands of people before?


Anyway, the shop I came to rescue is already burnt.

Sorry about that. I keep looking at the pictures! What a loss! I bet the generators in each of the shops would have made the fire very difficult to control, coupled with the fact that it happened at night and this is nigeria.

Its the car park, you know its always the place burning. The entire first row is gone and most of second row, it was still burning as I left around 11;30.

Thanks, odaaro.

Too bad

This is so sad and heartbreaking.

This is just sad. Millions worth of goods have been lost. The fire has been put out now around 2am. Fire service really tried but carss blocked their way to get into the market.

It took the courageous effort of boys in Aleshinloye market. They really tried. I had to join them in putting out the fire.

The Governor himself came around 1am to see things. I was impressed. A Lot of looting happened though.

This is heartbreaking. This market is so big You'll find almost ANYTHING you go looking for there. Their losses can never be quantified. I feel terribly Sorry for all the shop owners

This market is one the biggest market in Ibadan and the damage caused by this inferno will be enormous

you open just 15 threads and none is making front page coz The caption and details are misleading. smh.

Most post above me shows how tribal affiliations has eaten deep into values as compassion and empathy in a Nigerian mind. The earlier these few warlords are quarantined and then obliterated they will succeed in turning US all into mindless zombies. A proper investigation should be carried out to know the true nature of the triggers of this inferno. Cos, I was hearing some whispers of political tussle in this market some times ago. My thoughts are with all those who today lost their means of sustainace. May the cosmic universe see them through.

See what bad bele the cause.

My sympathies,there should be thorough investigation into the frequent market burning,to stem it from happening again

django1: This is crazy!

thank God,mum's shp wasn't affected


To those whose shops were affected,accept my condolence

It was a really pathethic something

ElekeNtioba: Am sure this fire was started by yorubas. Lazy twats and saboteurs who cant stand d progress of other hardworking group of persons.

...

missyhorlah: its the igbos that sells clothes close to the carpark that caused it .

please dear, don't waste your time trying to explain anything to him, he his simply incorrigible.

Not again!
