The fire there was somethinG and the crowd............. I had to turn in on another street to find another route.

Thankfully nobody lost their life as the story went.

What a sad story for the owner of the station & workers.

I trust and believe that the owner has his property insured. No fire trucks in sight... I wonder when this issue of fire service will be rectified in this country and in such a prestigious city such as Lagos

When there are more pressing issues, they're reporting fire incidents... 2016... Gaddamn n1gg3rs ain't gon learn sh!t

We are thankful to the Federal and state Fire Service and the people of Lawanson surulere! For containing the fire!

To those whose lost their properties, the market women who lost their goods and shop owners, your pockets will be replenished in Jesus name!

Serious ish. Thank God for his mercies

All this pics were aftermath... Check these ones out.

ooh, this is terribly bad, that's my former hood oh

God SOS

I've been expecting this news to reach frontpage... it happened around 5pm... and it hit frontage at past 11... leaves me to wonder... what is the problem with Nigerians...

1. from 5pm to 11pm... irrelevant topics have hit frontpage... such as faces and cleavage of celebrities...

2. I think the fact that an explosion occurred in a very clustered area of surulere and nobody dying is bad news... because I can't phantom any reason why such news shouldn't be grazing frontpage early on...

3. Nairaland needs to get its priorities checked... good thing we living in surulere are proactive... we douse a major incident early... without waiting for nairaland to call the fire fighters for us...

4. I'm pretty sure if the site had images of charred bodies and gory pictures... it would have hit frontpage early to garner more traffic...

Thank goodness... January 28th wouldn't be black day for a lot of people... to everyone that lost their properties to the inferno... may God provide in multiple folds... the saying "when there's life..." comes to fore...

Happy Birthday to me... and yes... it's just another day...

Hopefully Seun will pay attention before Nairaland goes to the dogs completely. The uninspiring crap topics hitting front page these days is simply nauseating.
