There was a huge fire in a fuel station with explosions and what do you expect, people should sit their arses at home in the name of lock down when disaster is lurking right in your backyard. This incident happened quite a few blocks from where I stay, though I wasn't home.

This is typical naija for you and it could happen anywhere. Real physical social distancing will be very difficult to achieve in Africa and even more so in one of the most densely populated city in the world.

These is still a pointer to the manifest failures of the goverment. The system has failed everyone and will continue to.What you see there is palpable fear in the people thinking the fire could raise down the whole neighborhood, though misplaced,I must confess.Abule Ado still readily comes to mind.

Goverment should make laws and enforce them,if laws are in place and appropriate sanctions applied to deviants, everyone would fall in line.But what do we have,lacuna everywhere due to iresponsibilty of government.

abeg o! Somebody made away with a red 2008 Range Rover sport from the car lot next to the fuel station while trying to evacuate the cars during the fire, abeg we dey find am.This is no joke!!

Okay bro
I do not have the strength to argue with you this morning

You are blaming government for this?
Government say stay at home , maintain social distance, wear mask ... etc
How would government enforce it?

Fire started in NNPC and fire services came with their Truck but your Ogba people began to stone d truck.
If you were at home would you have been in d crowd ?

The moment I saw him blame the government for not testing people, and still blame the government when the people came out to just watch a petrol station burn without any protective measures, I removed my hands off his matter

I support this but to be frank, we are not ready for this. Security needs to get to a higher level before this would be possible. Policemen who are insane will start misbehaving calling everyone that works at night thieves.
Electricity might not permit this too.

We are not mature to get to that stage yet.

Maybe places like Eko Atlantic will start that first.

Most importantly, SECURITY!

Don't u people ever get tired of blaming government for everything? How is government responsible for this? Smh

Bigleaf1006:


Nope, I probably wouldn't have.

Do you have proof people were stoning the fire trucks or their men?

Yes I blame goverment because we have allowed the country drift for too long.

Let's have responsible governance,we will get compliant citizens. Take the lockdown for example, you are being asked to stay at home but goverment officials and other well placed people are moving about with ease for no just reason.

Bigleaf1006:


Pls tell me,do we have responsible goverment in this country? What we have is a totally defective system where the people have lost every iota of trust in the system and would you blame them?

Nigeria is a lawless country not by default but by the manifest iresponsibilty of government. If you have laws in place with enforcement, people will naturally fall in line and there would be order.

If the problem of incompetence is sorted at the top, dealing with those at the bottom would be easy.

I am still waiting for any sane excuse why we are lagging so far behind in covid-19 testing compared to even smaller African countries.

What have we been doing so far,since the lockdown started,other than the stay at home because other countries are staying at home BS rhetoric we have been hearing all month long?

I refuse to be part of the stoic reality many of you pro lockdown people are in.

Baba too much talks on issues surrounding its spread ... less talks on managing the spread ...


How does the coronavirus disease spread?

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.





We are driving an initiative to produce filtered face masks for FREE distribution. Production has started from personal contributions to achieve this.

Let's Educate, Enlighten and Engage

izzou:


I'll definitely start the education and enlightenment when the lockdown is lifted.

Thank for the effort sir. You're really trying

cindybaby22:

Please don't just stretch this argument. Unless u are not being truthful to yourself!
The average Nigerian will never adhere to simple instructions. When people fail to queue up at ATM, fail to renew car papers, fail to obey traffic light, how do u blame government for such? Same case is playing out in this fire incident & it got nothing to do with government! Let's take responsibility for once as a people & stop blaming government for everything! It's sickening!
Have u taken time to watch America documentaries on YouTube? U need to & see how their citizens also help government. A stubborn child will always find a way to blame his/her parents, that's our case.

For every new comment you make, you bring up something different. That's why it's difficult to engage you in a discussion

Is it the government that asked over 2000 people to gather at one spot to watch a petrol station burn without social distancing or face masks? Look at the crowd in that picture. Maybe people from Obawole came to watch sef....What a shame

This is the exact reason I am for the lockdown. A lot of Lagosians (95%) are ignorant, and most of them fall within the poor people category. Even if they catch the virus, they will definitely find it difficult to isolate because of the poverty.

I'm sure if this was Kano or Borno, we would be seeing comments calling them ignorant, aboki, foolish people....But now that's it's Lagos, it's the government's fault

The lockdown has been lifted, and the curfew won't work. You know what that means? Everybody is on his own. Let's all go and hustle and hope on our Chi to save us.
