In an act of sheer bravery, this young Nigerian got into a burning Toyota Prado SUV, in a fire scene, and drove it away from further damage.

This event occurred earlier today at a building on Engineering Close, off Idowu Taylor street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The inferno was reported to have been caused by some individuals who resorted to refueling a power generator directly from a fuel tanker while the generator was still on.

Thankfully, there was no case of human casualty.

Indeed, this young hero deserves some accolades.

The guy must be a Nairalander, just to gain popularity. If he had died as a result of his action they will say Nature is bad. Why the hell will you nurse such a daredevil and insanely idiotic thought.
A Yoruba parable says "Ohun ti Aye ba so e da won a fi bu e Lola". Get more sense man.

Seconded!....


I wonder why people will think of taking fuel directly from a tanker a fuel a running generator. It's even written in most generators I have come across Don't Not Refuel While The Engine is On

there is no iota of heroism in this stupid act.

it is stupidity of the highest order, plain and simple

typical Nigerian who values property than his life.

The same people applauding his heroism will be the very people condemning his fatuousness
