LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — An explosion has ripped through a warehouse where witnesses say fireworks were stored in Nigeria's largest city, sparking a fire.

The explosion happened around 9 a.m. Wednesday on Lagos Island in Lagos, shaking windows of homes miles away. A thick cloud of smoke could be seen rising over the island. The fire quickly spread over two blocks. Two firemen showed up ina fire truck and local residents grabbed fire hoses to try to help put out the flames.

It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties. An hour after the explosion fireworks were still going off. Witnesses say the building had firework inside.

nollywood20: The major problem of Nigeria is not Boko Haram or even the corrupt government, but majority of the poor masses are id-io-ts breeding id-io-ts who end up as jobless youths who in most cases are the id-io-ts using fire crackers like vagabonds.

Majority of Nigerians are not fit to breed, but they are the masses who breed kids they can hardly feed.
