Since na Igbo man, APC authorized this

Abeg na joke ooo

On a more serious note, very sorry for the owner(s). Hope the business is insured?

Sad!

Sad news since morning. Oga o!

If all the male bystanders pull out their d*cks and piss at the fire, they will still be of far more use than the Nigerian fire service.

vkeydon:
there is no cause for alarm since it is a supermarket am sure they will be selling pure water if d fire comes near the pure water it will surely go off there is no need for firefighters am jst suggesting pls

Receive sense in the name of Jesus!

Ambode...

Your tenure has not been bringing good things to Lagos..

Joke nation.

Don't worry! !!!!!! Insurance will pay. All the whole market is insured.

all4naija:
There is no effective fire department in the big city of Lagos. That is a big shame! What more can I say?! It is time to sue the fire department and the Lagos state government for neglecting the security of properties and lives in that city. What is going on in that country?

I don't know when I am going to stop crying for the deplorable state of the nation.

Where are all the fire vehicles etc that Tinubu/Fashola bought in the last 16 years that make Lagosians keep voting APC?

Are we wise or stewpid?

Aresa, were the vehicles only for photocracy paparazzi ni. Maybe they were borrowed and have been returned to the sellers/owners just like those our YEYEbrities posing with their borrow borrow vehicles etc.
Meanwhile what happened to our money

Look at your sense of humor..so low

I sure hope he's insured

Insurance policy is very important

fire brigade!

profit motive overrides all concern for health and safety, thats why these things happen.

Owo ti Jona!!

My thoughts really looking at your pix down there.

I was opportune passing along the Admiralty Way going towards Buka Hut when this started. It was just like someone burning bush and on closer look saw thick black smoke blurting out. My thoughts were that a car was on fire.

On my way back it was still the same and I saw people packing things out of the store with people snapping away. I tried calling 112 the Lagos State Emergency Number twice and it went into Voicemail <no response after the initial greetings from the IVR machine> luckily going towards the Ikoyi Link Bridge I noticed a Fire Vehicle 'strolling' towards the direction ....smallish looking van shaa only for me to see photographs of the store in huge flames.

One would have thought a big supermarket with sponsorship in terms of financial facilities from banks such as GTB and StanbicIBTC would have been world-class enough to be equipped with fire fighting facilities <another big hotel Dover is next door> unfortunately that is not the case alas it was just a play ground for the Lekki up and coming always looking forward to exhibiting their childish behavior on Hoverboard inside the store

woodcook:
I am sure there is no wall reel in the building.

I think it high time we start taking safety seriously in Nigeria. If only our insurance companies could lobby our legislators to pass a law that makes it criminal for one to own a house without all the necessary safety features('first-responds' before the arrival of experts). Not only are the owner of such houses be charged, but the person that approves such building plan.

In a situation where there are such amenities in the building, there should be a department responsible for bi-annual check to ensure that such amenities are up to standard and in good condition. Should there be any incident and a prove that a safety feature was not in working condition as at the time of the incident, both the owner of the house and the government agent that last cleared such building as safe should be prosecuted.

i guess dy fire dint start big,it started with a little spark nd dy workers instead of dem using extinguisher i guessed dy all ran out 2 shout fire fire fire but dnt dy have an alarm trigger water hose dat on automatically wen smoke is noticed imagine a big store without basic amenities just a shame nd serves dy owner right,firefighters will cum wen dy fire dn quench anyway dy have made billions 4rm dier wares so dy can renovate it nd become foolish again cs once beaten 2wice shy

I work at Christ Avenue. Ebeano Supermarket is almost just opposite. I left the office at 5:10 and driving past Ebeano, there was already some commotion. The smoke was already visible BUT THERE WAS NO REAL FIRE YET. Staff were running from the scene, some crying, others just looking. If measures had been taken when the first sign was detected, all this may have been averted. Just like many organisations have now embraced CCTV, why wasnt there a fire alarm system, smoke detector and sprinkler system installed? Couldnt that have reduced the devastating effect of this fire?
Seeing these pictures, i am amazed the fire got this much. It was just smokes when i passed. I hope he has insurance though i doubt it. You know our igbo brothers. I pray he takes major steps in his other supermarkets scattered around lagos.

What a loss.

See your mouth

When will nigerians learn to build facilities with basic fire fighting equipment atleast minimize the extent of the damage before the arrival of fire fighters

Oyinbo beta pass us, no be curse

DWJOBScom:
poor entrepreneur I hope it's insured

not!!

cuteboy2:
Not along ago it was the ASCON filling station close the same Ebeano.
What is really going on at Lekki phase 1?

even Kate Henshaw's house got burn around that area too

Life saving and investment gone in a blink of an eye. What we lost in life is more than what we acquired. Life is absolute vanity.

Such a terrible loss.

Blatant disregard for town planning, "This is where I have land so this is where I will locate my business" mentality, forgetting that the estate master plan wasn't designed for such. Secondly, we pay no attention to health and safety, dodgy electrical wiring, for instance, blocking exit doors with goods, storing fuel in dodgy locations and not training staff, to nmention a few. We want to maximise every little space you have with all we are concerned with is making money... Each time i walk past the shawarma place I mutter to myself "only in Nigeria"

Aje o!
