You are pathetic and ignorant. So the president decided to burn down the billboard right? I think Seun needs to implement some sort of IQ testing mechanism so when morons like you register on this site, it detects your stupidity level and denies you access. And as for 'likes' do you mind telling me if those likes pay your bills?

KAI. relax na. the guy is obviously kidding. you guys should go easy with the insults abeg.

[quote author=kevoh]Definitely electrical fault.
Possible culprits:
1.Spark (Electric Arc) caused by loose electrical contacts.
2. Bad wiring i.e using cable with smaller dimension for wiring that demands larger dimension.
3. Use of fake protective device (fuse,circuit breakers e.t.c)
4. Exposed wires coming in contact and causing a spark.

those are da Route cause
How abt the control measures & recovery?

@hansyllo
Engineers should do proper sizing/dimensioning of any electrical project they are about to carry out, they must not settle for less i.e all materials used for installation should be of quality standard that itself is a control mechanism. But we know in 9ja after inflating the quotation for a project some will still buy low quality goods at a far lesser price to gain more.

Secondly,proper routine inspection for faults and maintenance should be carried out as scheduled (weekly preferably) you don't need to be an engineer to be told this is an important control measure which is often neglected of which when carried out 90% of incidents like this fire could be avoided..

NB: I'm not an expert in electronic billboards just giving my opinion from my experience as anyone in the field of engineering will do, others might have a different view.

Once again citizen journalism at work while damage to property is taking place. When shall we learn to help salvage situations we find ourselves in rather than start taking photographs for the blogs etc. #haba

Over heating... I guess the air-condition systems failed probably due to power fluctuations. What a big loss!
