She must have really put-in a great effort to keep that baby intact.

The baby was brought into the picture to attract pity. The baby was not burnt.

Sad for what happened to this woman.

We need expert opinion on what triggered the explosion since the gas cylinder was turned off. This will serve as a precaution for other gas users

This looks like more than 50% burn.With the Nigeria health system,only God can save her

Yet people still continue to buy these camp gas.

lol.. Fear fear.. Kerosene do explode too.. Have you heard of kerosene explosion?

People should avoid over filling their cylinders cos thats like time bomb.

always put cylinder outside
use a hose to connect to cooker inside
avoid camp gas

Most people who use real big gas cylinders put it outside, and connect it with their gas cooker inside the kitchen.

But commoners who wants to feel among will buy camp gas and cook directly on it. This is where the problem lies.

In Nigeria we turn good things to bad, see how motorcycle have littered everywhere, now camp gas have littered everywhere.

Delta state governor should take up with this responsibility instead of lavishing the state money anyhow and spending on local dry gin like Goodluck Jonathan...

Jeez

What a terrible accident. May nairalanders not meet with such unfortunate incidence.

Amen

So unfortunate, what really went wrong?

That's why even if I become the richest person in the universe, I would still use kerosene stove

Lets us put our cylinders out the kitchen, to a large extent, it is safer. May His grace give you and the innocent child total healing. Amen.

staggerman:
Gas explosion occurs when a vapor cloud is formed from leakage, making gas concentration reach its lower explosive limit (LEL) and meets an ignition source.

Gas explosion also occurs when pressure increases rapidly in a container without relief... Pressure may increase due to over pressure from over filling, or from high temperatures causing lpg or lng to be converted from its liquid form to gaseous form, thus increasing over 250m times.

Thanks for the enlightenment @staggerman.

Pls also knows why a gas cylinder must be stored upright safely rather having it laid horizontally. Gas experts in the house please let's share knowledge.

eiya, poor baby.

God heal them both.

Don't ever bring kerosene stove into my house!

pls people need a lot of orientation about cooking gas!the gas cyliy is a bomb on its own
so the first safety rule us that no room for mistake,negligence ,and carelessness! otherwise just go for kerosine!
most gas explosions are usually and chiefly caused by negligence and ignorance of safety tips and regulation!
never installed your cylinder inside your kitchen but outside, separated by a thick wall..

These are camp gas not the one you need to install outside.

Speedy recovery in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Please what advice do you have for someone staying upstairs. How do you keep your cylinder outside?
This is so scary quick recovery to her.

EgunMogaji:


My guess is that it’s caused by a defective valve.

Which part of a cylinder is the valve?

oyetpel:

my friend, the safety rules still apply all cases...no room for NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS
after cooking is finished with,turn the nozzle off tightly!!! Not slightly!
leakage can occur from nozzle knob IMPROPERLY switched off..

Zirah:

The part that you twist on and off to control the flow of gas.

There are rubber o rings in there that must be replaced occasionally so that leaks do not occur.

Even if you do all that, if the valve is not seated properly becasue of a bad o ring then leaks will still occur.

Find a way, anyway. Maybe go electric.

Keeping your gas cylinder inside your kitchen is like crossing Lekki express blindfolded. You can make it many times but it takes one incidence.

How does it apply to all cases? How will u install or put your camp gas outside your kitchen?

Turning off after cooking. What of before or during cooking?

This endemic sales of camp gas need to stop in Nigeria, campingaz is a good thing, but it for camping not using full time in your kitchen, its dangerous. We abuse things in Nigeria, see how OKADA full everywhere, killing and destroyin life. Camp gas is doing the same thing now.

STOP BUYING CAMP GAS, buy a proper gas cylinder, install it outside your kitchen and connect it with your gas cooker in the kitchen, that's how sane people do things.

I'll really appreciate any ideas you can give, been trying to figure out a way.
