Please tell me if I am wrong but there has never been a time so many markets caught fire as these last few months.
I smell something fishy.

It is change

He has a point

look deeper

Someone is really out to undo the Ibo traders. I'm not being tribalistic but just airing my personnal observations. Hope it has nothing to do with IPOB or all these rerun & inconclusive elections?

my brother sorry I don't smoke.

The popular orange market in Mararaba Nasarawa state got burnt completely mysteriously early this year. Mammy market Nyanya burnt down mysteriously too. Too much coincidences

No fire codes.

How many markets

1.Have stalls built out of fire retardant materials.

2.Have fire safety drills every month

3.Have fire extinguishers at strategic positions.

4.Have fire safety lectures for traders.

5.Have properly built buildings.Have electricals been properly installed.? Access routes (The fire in Kano was made worse by faulty electrical equipment and zero access routes...for the firemen to come in and fight the fire.Infact the Fire Serivce in Kano complained that they could not get to the source on time because the route was blocked. And it was probably by illegaly placed stores.).

6.Are tidy (A lot of the garbage in many markets are flammable).

7) Properly store fuel for generating sets.

Insurance? Do traders get themselves insured.? (Banks do it).

9) Have safe exit routes.

10) Are located in cities with proper fire services .Infact....how is the Nigeria Fire Serivce? Is it equipped with the proper equipment to put out fires.?(You cannot use water to put out all types of fires)

If there is a fire in any market in Nigeria....blame the market people, the market management, the local government, and the state for the fire. Don't look elsewhere.

When I lived abroad...the flats where i lived had strategically placed fire extinguishers on every floor.And the building was built to code.

my dear na change

You hit the nail squarely on the head but the frequency of the fires are suspecious.
I wish people like you head our LG councils to engender proper town planning and regulation.

[size=15pt]@Op,
As if you don't know it is your people doing it.
After Alhaji promised Kunle they would do it after Buhari's victory.[/size]

Whereas market people are careless and are not so sensitized about fire and how to prevent

Is it possible that the heat wave is a factor?I mean a small fire could easily get bigger and cause huge damage due to the heat wave being experienced currently in Nigeria.

Numerous market fires in a rainy season with no electricity,its worth investigating

It is very suspicious.

Can anybody remember any 10 month period in history when we have recorded more than 7 market fires?

Add to pipelines being blown up, indicates that it is possible most of the fires are arson from economic saboteurs from agents of enemies of Nigeria.

1 nobody dies in this fires
2 why is now that all the makts ar sudenly catching fire
3 who stands to cain by this fires. The marketers are compensated and someone collects contract to rebuild mkts

I smell a fish somewhere

Hope they not Sabotaging my hardworking igbo brothers over there

No be only igbo traders in these markets, it is happening in all parts of country.
