Jagaban, your attention is needed here.

This is why every building in lagos needs a fire hydrant.

We thank God.

Tifnubu now has probable cause to redeem his image by donating ₦50m or more to the victims of the inferno. At least that would be him giving back to the people from whom he and his accomplices have stolen from all these years!

Sorry for their loss. Let's await what Tinubu would give them this time around as he started his charity from outside in Katsina. Or is he just going to please his masters in the North only for his ambition

Waiting

But some kind evil people fit dey behind all these fire gut oo..

Nice job from the fire service..




You guys saved people’s sweat

Thank God no life was lost.

The FUTURE is FEMALE

Must these fire outbreaks in Lagos be everyday now? Yesterday was Ajah, today is Okobaba.

Fire and wood. Fire is wood eater general.

Now the fire is gone, the wood too is gone. too bad for such a loss

Lagos government want to take the land so they do it their normal way of putting fire

Buhari don kuku set the country on fire and run comot. Make everybody wait, wen e reach ur turn fire go burn ur market

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad

Government won use style pursue dem comot for that area, how can you have such beautiful houses next to a slum....?

Its a pity but if you look at the estate beside it, you will agree with me this is a ploy by that estate or possibly the government to evict the illegal settlers, reclaim the land without a fight and build another estate for the bourgeoisie.

If you are a talakawa in this country, you are at risk, your home is at risk and even the air you breath is threatened.

May all our legit hustle pay ...

Money and hope burning... God keep everyone safe.

Sorry for the loss. BTW, hope Jagaban of Lagos has been notified and has his cheque book ready.

What about your Father, stupid of you

Sultty:
Buhari is a bloodthirsty terrorist

Too many fire incidents in Lagos

Please, someone should investigate all these fires, it could be ingnited with a laser

Tinubu's generous donations is needed here

This is where it should matter most to Tinubu

Dunamis doing what bubu cant do.
