It is not petrol, it either diesel or kero .....people has learnt little lesson before from past event like Jesse in delta state.

How did we get here?
This is poverty walking and talking live.

If some Nigerians can risk their lives like this just to scoop fuel i wonder what's stopping them to protest against bad governance from the local government,state and then the federal government.

suffering and smiling

Very soon fire explodes and scores of people die ...then we hear ,awww Nigeria is under a curse .mtchew.

EastGold:
Where are the NSCDC officers?
Pls do something before these people terminate their life

NSCDC officers no wan die . Fuel inferno no recognise officer when in action

Why would people risk their lives like this God punish poverty

God punish poverty....i cant blame or judge them coz poverty can make a man sometimes reason like a goat, Govt needs to do something about our standard of living in this country

This is not ibafo, I currently on that route and nothing like that is happening

This is nt matter of economy or standard of living neither is it poverty it is jst sheer foolishness and stupidity.

Fuel. Is it PMS AGO or kerosene. Op clarify pls

The most wicked person there is the woman who is carrying her baby at her back just to do this... there is no other wickedness than this!

The reason y people don't steal is cuz they have not been in d position to steal. It show that all of them are thieves. They r no diff from politicians. Look at d woman with a baby on her back! N d guy who isn't woried about submerging his joystic inside petrol. This country needs mental re orientation

Are these people well? Do they know how dangerous what they are doing is? This is currently happening at Mowe, Ibafo in Ogun state. A fuel tanker fell early this morning and residents and every opportunity seeker are there scooping fuel, risking their lives. This could explode at any minute...and there's no sight of safety or security officers around. See more photos after the cut...

Lack of education.e

Make I just throw cigga for their midst

All I see is people giving themselves death sentence all because of survival. "Dis life is no longer safe com take am" shikina. Happy new month fellas

Merlissa:
When would Nigerians learn

When Buhari stoped chasing shadow!

Very sad, see that woman backing her baby and still scoping fuel...Nigeria is still far behind, poverty everywhere

benedictnsi:



When the economy improves and the standards of living become better, when our government creates more jobs for young Nigerians, when it is no longer "PERSONAL GOVERNANMENT OF NIGERIA" but federal, when there is serious improvement in the health sector, when the prayers for good leaders get answered, when we seriously fight crime and corruption..... Etc

This is not the issue!! All is not always politics!! Safety should always be first...

De lady in de 3rd pic even has has baby strapped to her back. Ah!! Lawd gawd!

It looks like an old pix.It also doesn't look like fuel to me.

Nigerians with deaf ears.when it happens,the will start blaming the devil

It's more like a blood diamond.

This is very risky for them.if there's any explosion I doubt there will b any survival with all of them putting on cloth soaked in the petrol.haaa,poverty,poor economy lead so many into this oo,without thinking of any possible fire outbreak.may God save Nigeria

I weep for my people. Even nursing mothers joined, Damn the hustle just got real.

we never learn from past fuel tragedies, what if something sparks in that tanker's engine? sometimes i wonder if poverty actually makes our reasoning diminished.

Stupidity!

If you like call it ignorance or stupidity.
I call it poverty.

Anyhow you look at it, you could still be right cause there're many things involved.

This is what the society breed.
