I weep for naija

djustice: Just like they did at Tejuosho market. Haba!!!

Fashola, Tinubu and Segun Oniru must pay for this one day! Evil people. Just because they want that land. Na wa for this Tinubu gang o! O God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, please save us from these slavemasters. Give us our freedom from them O Lord, in the name of Jesus.

You disgust me!

.

dapy.d:
Let's hope d firemen get there on time b4 it escalates....at least I think lagos has an helicopter.....

As Tuesday's fire burned, some drivers pulled over to take mobile phone images of the fire from the bridge. The only sirens heard came from convoys of police and soldiers roaring by guarding the nation's business and political elite.
So unfortunate.

PeterKbaba:

You disgust me!

You'd be naive not to reason along that line. For hours that the fire raged on...not one firefighter.
To them it's good riddance to a menace or should i allude to a chunk of prime spot land on a platter of gold.

Mr moderator pls, its not everytym that when ever there is an incidemt going on @ the riverine part of 3rd mainland bridge, then you guys talk about makoko, we've got unilag 2 situated around that viscinity. And moreso, the fire incident occured @ebute metta.

gluv01:
even if you get it, is it in naija that you will get fire fighters with good equipments?

doing nothing about d situatn is worse. At least someone is trying 2 help in his own little way

Just came across this n CNN. so sad

A massive fire has ripped through one of the poorest suburbs in the Nigerian city of Lagos, burning down ramshackle homes and workshops.

Dozens of buildings were destroyed as flames tore through Ebute Metta, a community along the Lagos lagoon where sawmills process timber brought in from across Nigeria.

The huge blaze could be seen from the city's long Third Mainland Bridge, with people stopping their cars on the bridge to take mobile phone images of the fire.

Firefighters fought to stop the inferno after locals tried in vain to put out the flames with buckets of water.

Paul Apeti, a 48-year-old timber factory owner, said millions of people lived in the area and more than 250 properties had been burned down.

"Fire consumed the whole place, we were fighting the flames ourselves until the firefighters got here," he added.


Firefighters fought to bring the blaze under control
It is unclear if anyone was injured in the blaze and Nigeria's emergency services have not commented.

The fire was the second major one in the city in recent weeks.

On Boxing Day a massive explosion ripped through a warehouse full of fireworks in a crowded neighbourhood in Lagos Island, killing one person and injuring at least 15 others.

Fire remains a major danger in Nigeria, where many people store petrol and diesel in their homes to run generators for electricity.

Lagos is the commercial hub of Africa's second biggest economy and is home to an estimated 17 million people.
