Chaiiii......We are careless in this part of the world

Not nice at all

Thank God no lives were lost.

Thank God nobody died. Gas cylinders shd be kept outside of the main building, since they have gated compound

Hope no life was lost

gas explosion dey really mad gan

May Almighty God help us all

Gas cylinder hmm

Nigerians are very careless with everything. I have seen people using gas cylinders the wrong ways. The most annoying part is that they see nothing wrong with the dangerous way they handle these cylinders.

I have seen people cooking inside their small bedroom with curtains and clothes scattered everywhere. I have also seen a student who left his pot of soup on a burning gas cylinder to gist with a girl in another street.
Some go to bed as soon as they place their pot on a burning stove. Nna eehh, the list plenty.

I have never heard of any gas explosion in Dubai, yet they use cooking gas over there like you use electricity here.

God have mercy

Thank God no life was lost

They should test for explosive residue. I don’t believe a gas cylinder would do that much damage

End time cylinder
