Great Nigeria House on Martins street, Lagos Island is on fire @ this moment. The fire has completely taken over the ground floor. Fire fighting service are on ground to contain the fire.

According to eye witness account, the fire started @ about 3am this morning. The cause of the fire outbreak still unknown but people suspect that it may be as a result of electrical fault.

I only see three fire fighting trucks here, two belonging to the state service n 1 belonging to Union bank

God have mercy

Any fire helicopters? Hope no trapped people

Fire gini? The news says Lagos not Sydney!

This is quite disturbing, and the sheer height of the building in question gives even more cause for concern.
This is hoping that this time around there'll be better response from the relevant agencies.

From the pix here doesn't seem like much of the building will be rescued, though.

Folks my fone shut down ,I have left the scene of the fire. I see the Nigerian police force, NEMA, Federal fire Service, Lagos Fire Service.

If your on the 3rd mainland bridge, approaching lagos island from Idumota and Apogbon u can see the thick smoke of the burning bulding.
Property and goods worth hundred of millions have been lost to this inferno.

Traders can be seen wailing, its a heartbreaking sight considering the harsh economic situation of the country.

Despite the efforts of the firefighting service the fire rages on.
