But,what is it exactly that is so special about being the first to comment? I call this nonsense when you start shouting saying you're the first to comment.

CHESSBOARD: With the kind of money coming to Rivers state, Ameachi is just a Good Governor on papers, few standard roads, no new modern markets, no good motor park and bus stops, people build houses and stores any how, No city expansion, no new established roads, The link road b/w Woji and peter Odili road has not been finished for 2 years now for a less than 3 kilometer road, no body is controlling any body, its " do things the way you like" in Rivers state...The worst state I have ever lived in.....

Ken_Jak:
You have a very bad and dark eyes. Maybe you're a novice here. When it comes to being the first to comment here, I'm never lagged behind,always on top. And in leading in anywhere I am, I'm never lagged behind. I'm sure,since you were born,throughout your entire horrible and ridiculous life,you've never led. Now,cos you led in this topic,you started shouting like a kid. I'm sure you can never lead in anywhere you might be again. You should go and slaughter yourself. Fool behaving like a kid. You get no sense.

Fire Service:: It is still rather amazing that all the governments that come into power seem not to appreciate the importance of certain social services like the Fire Service, the Ambulance service, the Police, e.t.c.

A few years ago, this same Mile One market was gutted by what would be the biggest fire ever in my history of Rivers State. The fire was so firece that it actually burnt down one of the Fire Service trucks that came to put out the blaze.

For those who dont know Port-Harcourt very well, The only Fire Service Station in the whole of Port Harcourt that I know of is located very close to this mile one market. Yet I can bet my money that the only competent fire fighters on the scene are not the governments fire fighters, but those of Companies like Shell, Total, Agip and co..

After the first fire, the government decided to build a proper market in place of the open stalls and sheds that were there initially. Problem is, the government only built on a small section of the Land, the rest of it slowly but surely went back to being the crazy market that it used to be.. Though in fairness to the government, the new market building had fire fighting equipments built into the property, the lack of development on the remaining portion of the land has now become the source of the new fire.

Now as usual, what would happen would be another clean up, speeches made, promises made, talks of compensation would be discussed but never actualized, people would pick up the pieces, and in 1 months time, this would all have been forgotten..

What about the other Areas of Rivers State that have no access to good Fire Service? Shouldnt there be atleast 1 fire service station in every local government area?!

This is why I keep saying that Nigeria is like a playground of kids.. We play and get injured, we get treated and instead of fixing that which caused us hurt, we just walk around it like it isnt there, until the next person gets injured..

My heart goes out to the Traders. My Grandmother lost 3 of her shops in the last fire and got scammed out of her claims by the government.[/b]

Jaynec: Clattering sounds n gun shot sounds woke me up around 3 a.m. I heard my neighbours wispering in agony, then i saw dis huge light thru my room window. It was like hell fire. Am still shocked ,its so tragic. My neighbour's brother was affected. See grown up men weeping like kids , its so painful. He lost everything. He stocked his shop with new goods for xmas season,most of the goods was on credit hoping to make extra sales. His wife just gave birth. O o i believe God have greater plans for those affected. Its nt d end of d world. Whatever caused d fire disaster,God knows it all.
