This year 2020, have we not had enough of these disasters?

It's rare to read about good news nowadays.

There is also a petrol station opposite the NNPC Petrol station. Fire service have been called as I heard, Though they are not yet in site

Lord have mercy

Ewooooooooooooo!

This is the NNPC at yaya abatan ogba.... Hope no life was lost.

The Car dealers tried to push a car out but they only pushed it on the road just opposite the burning petrol station.
I am sorry for uploading pics one by one. It's telling me files too large

Not yet,all the staff came out before the fire escalated. But they couldn't go near because it was the truck delivering fuel that caught fire. They hard a very extinguisher but the guy was too far from the fire. So the fire spread to the underground petrol safe,which made everyone to loose hope and run

Look at crowd like a Popular northern politician is doing campaign. Since the lockdown stated I haven't met such crowd.

Fire service is here with a single truck

This is the car the car dealers tried to push out of their compound when the fire started coming close to their compound

The third compound where electronics are sold are evacuating their products from the shop

Fire service is here now thank God

Lalasticlala is this not news enough for Nigerians to know.

Wonders shall never end

Fire service is moving closer to the scene of fire accident but crowds are too much

More

Look at the crowd... No Face Masks, No Social Distancing & No Hand Gloves. Just Pure Madness, Stupidity and Carelessness. You no be Firefighter, You no be First Responder, what the fvck are they doing there taking pictures and communally spreading and catching COVID19? Are we cursed or the cause?

I saw this morning

Nigeria is more of a reactive country than a proactive country.

What is NNPC petrol station doing very close to Residential and Commercial buildings ?

Secondly, A 3 digit or unique phone number of police and fire service should be at the finger tip of every Nigerians incase of emergency like this. In the states the number is 911.... In Nigeria what is the number ? If telecommunication companies can have such customer care numbers like 111, 180, 121 etc, why can't the security agencies have it?

15 minutes after the fire incidence started, people were busy forwarding broadcast on WhatsApp and other social media, even the op created the thread calling for attention of fire service.

We need to re strategise and get it right for once.
