I was bangerlized yesterday just because yeye Chelsea crushed Leeds Utd 5-1. If banger is out of control, a ban is necessary.

And how dos dat affect d price of chicken in d market.

was considering 2dai if i was stil gng to throw fireworks,bt its enjoyable dng all of that n puts flair to d season

I still don't believ dat some agbalagba still use there money 2 buy banger and blow..even if there are selling it one kobo I can not buy it but I still imagine how someone will use is money 2 buy banger 2 just 2 disturb d neigbourhood well some are fools sha

They shud wait till 31st nite & c if they banned it or not.

even before xmass when police hear gun shot dem go run enter bush, na today. go and fish out Nkiru Silvernus and stop harassing young people wey dey celebrate xmass. nonsense!

i did it wen I was in their age, so let them enjoy too cuz they wl pass that level too.

same old story every year

Examples of the reason for the ban.

1) In the late '80s or early '90s there was commotion in Central Lagos when a fireworks depot caught fire.

Similarly, in the 1980s, NTA News regularly showed images of Chinese fireworks factories that had caught fire.

2) The wife of the musician, Fatai Rolling Dollar, died from injuries sustained when she was hit by fireworks that had been thrown into their house.

3) There's a popular boys secondary school in Lagos which is beside a popular girls secondary school. On the last day of school before christmas, students of the boys school usually attack the girls school with fireworks. However, one year, the tradition ended earlier than usual when fireworks were mistakenly thrown underneath a peugeot 504 car, which set the car on fire.

4) Two years ago there was a documentary on STV that showed a woman who was campaigning that fireworks should be banned. Her son lost two fingers when, in response to a dare, he held a stick of banger as it exploded. They also showed other children who had lost fingers from the practice.

5) In the early 2000s, armed robbers attacked a place on Lagos mainland using toy guns and banger sticks.


6) Somewhere on Lagos Mainland I saw youths attack a house with banger. I have never seen such a coordinated fireworks attack in my life! One resident of the building was able to escape via a window. He came back with policemen, but by then the youths had vanished.


And there are many more such examples. In recent days, residents of Maiduguri and other cities of the north have reported on nairaland that the ban against fireworks is being strictly enforced because of the fear of boko haram.

Gozzzy: That is bulldung!!!! In developed countries like the US, fireworks are legalised for festivities like xmas!!!! Why is Nigerian police, so annoyingly backward and archaic!!!

Abeg make i hear word. Here in Lagos, particularly in VGC, a day is designated when all residents of the estate meet up at a large playground and you can bang as much as you like. After then, you are not allowed, and truth be told, with these bangers, it becomes difficult to identify the toy guns that those boys use in terrorrizing people in their neighbourhoods. I have this guy that throws 'bomb' in the name of banger, and for the sake of such massive detonations, it should be seriously restricted so we know when BH is attacking and when 'fine boys' are obtaining.

U don't have to insult people that buys Knock outs or fire works, If u are poor, pls admit it ... There are still young @ heart...... No season will pass without me throwing knock outs, I love the sound and will always do that.... imagine 31st nite without those sounds, it will be boring mehn. I bought 6 packet of 15 shots already, If u want sum... Pls call me, I will be glad to give you sum and U will love it also. Cheers and Banggggggg!

egift: I just heard announcement over the radio (Dream FM in Enugu). According to jingle, if you throw banger, the Police will arrest you. They also ask people to report and if they come where its was thrown, they will arrest everyone until you provide who committed the "offense". Signed by the Commissioner.

Question: Do you support that knock-outs should be illegal this season?
_

...that will only happen in Enugu state, because Mr S. Chime (The Governor) is on holidays "infinitesimal". Come to Lagos precisely Bornu Crescent in Apapa Lagos, Lebanese, Indians, Prostitutes, Police, Area Boys have started throwing bangers since December 1.

They should ban the distribution and sales of knock-out. It's that simple.

Make I hear say I no do fire works poor secuirity pple

The been banning knock-outs since forever yet one will always celebrate Christmas amidst the deafening sounds of bangers.

na since November,boys start to throw banger,4 enugu o.

That is not news. It is said every year. And it stops nothing...

Those clowns should keep fo.olling themselves. Govt agents, clueless as to how/where to ban/stop banger. They leave its importation unbanned, turn around to 'ban' its use.
The police should be not to go around harassing people celebrating in a bid to full their pockets.

Those police men must be joking! I can still hear the sounds of different knock- out on my street.
Thank God its rural area..police can never catch us.

go4value: na since November,boys start to throw banger,4 enugu o.

If dey can ban banger,dey shud do dere best to ban boko haram bomb.
