That is too much destruction. People that have little have lost so much if not all in some situations.

I didn't know Lagos had become the "largest city in Nigeria" , this IB boy don dey start vex

The fireworks in my area sounds like bomb..I hate those things..can't they be banned?

I died a little. Am presently in NBA mess in Sokoto sipping my Booze. My house dey Dolphin Estate, am a bachelor worse still no person dey de Crip. Make i no start buy tinz all over again. In any case its saddening. Hope no live is lost. Meanwhile Xmas was calm and quiet in Sokoto and Kebbi my home state without any complaint: for those shouting BH. Oya Bar Man refresh JOOR!

this is very serious.

pekelepekele: What is this ?

fire

Why this yultide season!...God plz repleniSh ‎​ђã†̥ they've lost, in millions!

One day one trouble....

Thank God I dey my villa. What we throw here is bomb not knock out, but we detonate them at agreed points not throwing things at people at random

If enough distance(5-10m) is maintain between houses the fire could had been put out b4 it affected other building.
N I support the govt. to ban bangers

Hope nobody died...

I have also seens where banger knockout was thrown at a warehouse where gas cylinder were sold - and it exploded and took down a whole three storey building back then 1997 - this lagos island own is fatal because most houses on the island are build without spaces and the fire can easily get into another building

Dis is d aftermath when pple chose to wallow in deceit.my heart to d owners of dis properties

Fire works all in the name of xmas SMH

If it is banned,then smugglers will start bringing it in through our porous boarders.

segunsd:

I'm not a fan of the deafening sound of those fireworks. Hope they can be banned in Nigeria.

nawa o

Presidency need not to be slow and attest to it. Please ban fireworks, you won't be making any mistake. I pray no life is lost.

Waoh,this is serious,with no doubt,fireworks ought to be ban,or seriously regulated. The indiscriminate use should be banned,its just a waste of money.

it is well

Why are things so difficult in this country, always one evil news or the other. Imagine, due to someone negligent or stupidity millions of naira is lost just like that.

Fireworks have been banned since 1984/85, but, apart from the usual announcements every December, the ban is not enforced.

hmm

[color=soyouquotedme]More reason why I think christmas and new year celebration is overated.

Most people don't even understand or know the reason for the season.

A season of sharing, the money spent on knockout would have attracted a blessing if it had been given to the less privilege.

Now this alone will make some people homeless, bankrupt and broke.

It is well even in the well [/color]

I only saw the ban being enforced in 1984, 85 and 86. Ssince then it's the usual announcement (the unauthorised use of fireworks is illegal, defaulters are liable to bla bla jail term) , like the ones we have below, without any action being taken.
