A cooking gas explosion on Saturday at about 7.15am occured at 19B Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, HFB Way, Lagos.

The house is the Lagos State residence of the Kogi State Deputy Governor. Mr. Yomi Awoniyi.

The explosion was said to have been caused by a leakage from the cooking gas cylinder.

Three occupants in the house, including Mrs. Awoniyi were said to have been trapped, while the driver who was outside washing cars was reportedly injured from the explosion.

It was learnt that the four victims were later taken to St. Maria hospital, Yaba hospital immediately they were rescued.

A source said part of the building was badly damaged and collapsed following the explosion.

But the deputy governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Abu Micheal, said he and his family were not affected by the cooking gas explosion.

He stated that he was not in Lagos as at the time of the incident.

The deputy governor said the domestic staff who has some degree of burns and the driver who was hit by part of the debris of the building are in stable condition and are responding to treatment.

The South-West Zonal spokesperson, of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye told journalists that the agency was alerted after the incidence.

He added that officials of NEMA including himself quickly went to the scene.

According to him, they verified if victims were trapped underneath building.

He said NEMA officials later evacuated the victims.

Farinloye said, “The building collapse was suspected to have been caused by gas cooker explosion around 7:15 a.m this morning.

“The explosion and subsequent building collapse affected three occupants, who were inside the building at the time and the driver who washing the car outside. Although no life was lost, the four injured persons have since been evacuated to St. Maria hospital, Yaba, for proper treatment.

“Currently, the Police Anti-Bomb Squad and Police Disaster Management Unit are working on the site to get to the root of the explosion.

“Afterwards, the Lagos State Building Control Agency will move in to determine the next level of action to take.”

[i][/i]Thank God for the family of Kogi DG for the safety after such calamity. It is known that 9ja ppl are superstitious and some may link it to your loss at the polls but I know it wasnt only ur house dat suffered explosion dat same day globally. What shocks me however, is the cause...a safe cooking gas cylinder? So who leaked it and was it intentional? Cooking gas has been safe for a long time in Nigeria and I expect who ever handles it knows the basic rudiments of usage, even my mum who was adamant to it in the past hasn't gotten such explosion since she changed to it.
pls police needs to investigate this, I sense sabotage in this.

I comment my reserve until m tru in church.....

1- I'm ( Internet Marketing)::
when I say internet marketing It simply means selling of your products/brand and rendering ur service to others eiher offline/online. All you need to do is to create a simple website, containing the products and its description and its possitive effects and how 100% trustworthy it is. And also assure them of returning back their money if it didn't work out as prescribed on the simple website you created. U can as well as get an e commerce websites just like www.jumia.com / / www.aliexpress.com etc! You can allow sellers to market/sell their products to buyers using your e commerce platform I.e websites. If a seller sells any product u will get your own percent on every sell made by a seller. Note: its advisable to get one particular website for your product. And each product should have its own website that is sales page.


2- A M ( Affiliate Marketing):: mostly used by blog and website owners. All you need to do is visit all these top sites sign up for their affiliate programs. And start advertising the affiliate/ referral link presented to you either on your website,blog,forum or social networks such as facebook/twitter or whatsapp.even bbm. Depending on how many contacts you get.


3- B G( Blogging):: aha! Blogging is the third one. So many go into blogging for fun but at a time it pays even more than normal business. Ok see the deal here. As u can see Nairaland is selling ads space? U can get yourself a website built by a standard and well skilled acquired website designer like me. Lols. And do all the necessary configurations on it. Inclusive of the traffic. U can sign up for google adsense , adynamo, promo, and a lot of them. U can even add the affiliate marketing banner to ur website. As a website owner you can easily organise seminar with the influence of your website.

4- B S ( Bulk Sms):: another hot strategy for making money. Who hasn't heard of Bulk sms? Well for those who haven't. You can just goto any bulk sms service provider purchase an sms unit. And resell or send bulk sms for clients. Somehow difficult but easy to go with if you are familiar with the system. Advice: don't jump into this on your own meet a prof on the biz or get yourself a mento to guide you. And you also be smilling at your bank acc. Its a cool biz. You can send sms for church, events, companies , organisations etc... Depending on how you advertise yourself. All for these

5- W B( Web Designing):: lols lols lols. This is where I have to introduce myself a little bit. Am not doing this to advertise myself, but if am. I think I deserve the credit for posting this thread. Ok let's roll. Designing of website pays a whole lot more than you even imagine. Am a living testimony. All you need here is just to meet someone who is into the line to teach you how to design a website. The truth you need to know is these. Nowadays every business needs to has a face on the internet. And there is only one way to do that. And that is by designing a website for it. Jumia/konga are business organisations that has put their platform on the internet. You can design a website without coding anything. Check out the websites on my signature I built it on my own without any coding. After learning it. Get yourself a domain name and web hosting. Create a portfolio for your brand and you will be getting web design proposal every week. If not everyday. And the truth of it they will also be renewing their payments annually.
