We grew up criticising nne for always using firewood and kerosene stoves (sparingly) to cook.. Esp after we visit classmates and family friends homes and see their 'sweet smelling' gascookers. To the extent that when Paterson zochonis,a Greek company that my dad distributes for gives us yearly gifts,nne keeps other electronics but auctions off the gascookers among them..


Fastfoward years later,...am married with kids...guess what? We don't use gascookers in the house,...not after what I experienced sometime in 2003,...
what you experienced was as a result of human negligence, not gas.

Chai! As sweet and fast gas is. The explosion is just scary. Most explosion are caused mostly by human carelessness acts. I have cautioned a lady times without numbers that's fond of taking her phone while on call to the kitchen while the gas cooker is on.

No correlation between gas explosion and usage of phones. Explosion occurs when undetected leakage meets with naked flame

I have read through several comments here with some advising against using gas cookers as if kerosene stoves do not explode as well.

The first comment should have clearly stated this warning and I think this should also be imprinted on every gas cooker and canister:

DO NOT PLACE YOUR GAS CAN INSIDE THE HOUSE.

It's like keeping a live bomb inside your living space. Avoid camp gas as much as you can as well.

Secondly,

ALWAYS AERATE YOUR KITCHEN WHENEVER YOU SUSPECT GAS LEAKAGE

No. 2 is important but No. 1 is importanter.

I hope this message saves a life.
Interesting! Some of my neighbors have their cylinder right inside the kitchen where the gas cooker is. I have told them how dangerous it is, but they won't hear.

Like saying the solution to a car accident is to trek with leg.. Gas explosions can be avoided if the cylinders are changed when due and kept outta hot region undecided

call it cruelty, you may be right but if things were right in the country would anyone still be picking up their cylinders to go refill and endangering their lives in the process? Life is cruel yes it is but death isn't the enemy.

Pls what of if the gas is outside? Is it still not safe to make call? What of if no call but using the torch and playing jams?

What really causes gas cylinders to explode
Its usually a result of buying odorless gas! When there's leakage u cannot detect/know as it's odorless, and any ignition result in explosion! STOP BUYING ODORLESS GAS! Spread d word pls.

There is no empirical scientific evidence that cell phones cause gas explosions. It's only in Nigeria we hear this kind of stuff.
the same reason u are warned not to make or received call at a filling station,don't allow scientists to use you as a case study for am empirical evidence

Can't forget an incidence that happened to me so quickly. I left something cooking on fire from 9pm in the night to 5am in the morning. I was all alone in the house and actually thought I turned off the gas only to wake up in the morning to the sound of burning gas coming from the kitchen. I realized the gas has been burning unattended to for good 7hours, everything on fire including the entire bottom of the cooking pot and the cover has been burnt off while I slept off in the room. The fact that it is another man's house(a rented apartment), got me even more scared. But thanks to God, nothing tragic happened. Till tomorrow the whole thing is a miracle to me. We need to cautious with the way we handle gas cookers, they look so good, cook so fast and clean but remain a potential source of hazard. May the departed woman rest in peace and may her children recover from their injuries.

Even as a single young lady, I don't use gas. Have once had an ugly experience which made me vow never to use it.

Just call me ancient, I don't care.

We're not in this world to enjoy anything because there's absolutely nothing to enjoy.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow or the next. The best thing is to live right and be nice,at least one will die knowing you helped or contribute something to someone's life.
