16th October 2019 is a day Onitsha people will never forget in a hurry. Goods and properties worth millions of naira was razed down by the fire inferno. It was gathered that the petrol tanker had a break failure and spilled its content into the waste water channel that connected some parts of the city an hour before the fire started.
The video below shows the rushing moment the fire passed through the water channel destroying goods and properties in the process.

Lord have mercy

Chaii

Just listening to the voice of the person who recorded the video and those around him and you'd hear the sorrow, anguish, horror, let down in their voices and you'd understand what it means not to have any hope in life.

"Onicha agwukwa ni o"(Onitsha is finished)
"Ndi mmadi a nwugo kwa ni o"(people are dead/finished), imagine yourself being in a state of helplessness and no atom of help in sight. This is what we call 'akwa alili'-- cry of sorrow.

Hope and globemoney have seen this too.

So the state government can't provide a fire service to quench the fire outburst.This is height of insensitivity on their part

Was the video false or not and why can't you empathize with your brothers all because of politics? Are you telling me you didn't even hold back your tears after seeing the video or was it because you, your friend, family or relatives weren't directly affected?

Please take your incoherence elsewhere, you know nothing about what I am talking about

Whatever, then don't derail this thread and face him on Facebook or create another thread for him on nairaland.

Chef2000, nobody has ever seen you on any thread where your dead Abia state is being discussed. Recently your people protested about bad roads all over Abia state, but you disappeared. Few days ago, they protested about 22 month salary arrears but also disappeared. Continue but Abia state shall continue to be the worst state in Nigeria, until you Abia people learn to pay attention in your state

Your goods are burning and you are calling a dead jew. Mtcheeew.

Millions gone

This is heartbreaking

Terrorist attack

IPOB has a point.

I am telling you. The pain no be small

I doubt if there is any functional one in Onitsha

Pls my brother, majority of us live far away from Anambra.
Can you tell us what we don't know about this this? Who are those terrorists who planned for this maximum casualties?

This was supposed to be or claimed to be the most functional Igbo state. See how it was almost reduced to ashes. I wonder what will happen if this is to happen in Aba.

On the pages of SM

Judging from what I saw from his video, I'm sorry even if the state fire fighters arrived, they wouldn't have been able to salvage the situation since they don't have ariel fire fighting planes or fixed wing jumper aircrafts and helicopters which would have been ideal in a situation like this in a densely populated area like Ochanga.

Thank goodness we don't experience rapid wild fire outbreak like they do in California.

Even though I share in their pains, I will partly blame the traders. This petrol spilled an hour before the fire started and they had the oppornity to evacuate their wares but little attention was paid to the impending disaster

Let's hope nothing of this magnitude happens again
