So you pay your tax but you can't enjoy the outcome of the tax you pay ..
We need to start launching missile on political thieves

3rd world country paroles.

The traders do not have insurance.
Mobs burnt down a fire station (tax payers owned) that was not properly funded by government.

Just 20 meters between the fire station and market.... And water no dey truck.... Chai..... No wonder

Well since it wasn't useful in the first place, make e kukuma no exist....useless govt just put empty fire trucks for decoration and campaign....gullible citizens voted for dem cos of empty fire truck. SMH that angel wey post me come Nigeria we go get private talk....

Who did we offend na

See how people transferred aggression to property that is meant to be of use to the general public.
Why not march to the government house!

I tell you. Backward nation.

Unbelievable nonsense, why burn the fire service station? NEPA should stop bringing light to industrial areas at night when few if any people are in the facility

Simplyleo:

Which general public? Is the market not a general public?
A fire incident of the said magnitude occurred and the fire service was not put to use when it is most needed, what then is the use of the fire service?

Is it not better it is burnt down so people will know there is no such service available?

I don't support unruly behaviours but sometimes you can't just help it and in this case, they are right

Bro I’m from Oyo, And I’m telling you that
Five vehicles of fire service can’t even quench the fire
Oyo is just having only 2 vehicles
One is still working, I don’t think the other even have an engine, So I don’t blame them at all, Nothing they can do about it, People are just transferring aggression unnecessarily

See how you just supported unruly behaviour.
So burning down the fire station will bring back the burnt market?

You are wrong.

u call it unruly behavior but this suits d situation, if only u know how much is been looted with the useless fire station then u will understand d fact that it needs not to exist in d first place. let's kukuma know we don't have fire station at all

SangoOlukosoOba:
If you truly must be fair about the state of Nigeria, you must agree that the countries leaders and citizens are all mad.

Bitter but true. An average Nigeria is insane and this class of people far outnumber the sane ones who mostly are not even in the country.

A ratio of about 1:10,000,000

omo you wicked, again hardship and bad environmental factor dnt help good reasoning.
what I cant understand is this governors and commissioners travel all over the world. not until i left that country before i realize that fire truck dnt need to carry the water they need to fight a fire. why not dig a borehole exclusively for fire in all market

After the fires na the flood God give me the gift of prophecy

But
These niggurs we're making fun of onitsha when the fire service failed to show up at that market inferno.
Now fire service was located 20 meters from the market but couldn't mobilize to battle the inferno
The way they were blowing grammar when onitsha was up in flames one would think they lived in heaven.
Nigerians and hypocrisy, make una dey do unaselves.

That's too bad

I totally empathize with the traders but burning down another man's source of living is totally wrong. The govt should ensure that they are duly compensated.

Not in this regard

Dont blame them.... The situation made them to take rash actions. We are busy judging them because we were not in their shoes and did not feel the heat...

Maybe we could u have done worse if it was u.... Nobody can tell.

May God restore them.. Its not a palatable experience. ...

It's just sad that Nigerians can burn their own property in addition to the ones they lost to the fire. Yes the fire station is their property since it's government owned.
What they should have done was to take their protest to the government house.

The firemen working at the station would still get paid their wages, same as the politicians in the LGA and State.

I am all for protesting against bad governance not burning tax payer's properties. At th end of the day, the cost of rebuilding that station would be passed on the masses in form of increased taxes or market levies.

Funniest thing, the fire station is just right beside the market. Just a 2min walk ooo. . Who did we really offend in this country

helinues:
And should there be another fire tomorrow

Backward reasoning

was it able to solve the one of today?

Ryda:

You are wrong.

What do you mean unruly behavior?

Fire station less than 20 meter to the market, Fire engine lacks water and yet this set of fire ment received salaries month in Month out.

What ARe they paying then salaries for? Indolent and lazy people!

God knows how long there has been no water and they all sit down there collecting salaries for maintaining empty fire trucks, how can Nigeria grow with this kind of attitude from workers?

It is good they burnt down the fire house..... put those firemen in the same misery as the market vendors. 20 meters away... where they can smell the smoke and respond before the fire spread. There need to be an investigation as to why were the trucks without water.... and why were the firemen not prepared to fight a fire. People need to be fired... and charged for neglection of duty/something.

tstx:
Instead of taking their violence to the government they took it to an innocent building...


Nigerians are a funny breed.. Our stupidity should be studied in foreign universities

so that your useless rogue gavanment will order trigger happy men in Black to shoot them and those arrested will be accussed of attempting to overthrow government with placards.
They did very well.
That was how in Kano state, whenever there is fire outbreak,fire service will come with their miserable truck and pack nearby and when people urge them to do something,they will shamelessly tell you how they don't have water.
Again I say,they did very very well

You lack sense.
A fire station that is 2 minutes to the market. If there is water in the trucks, it means the response time would have been very quick and this would have ameliorate the damage caused.
Response time is key but as usual, no water in the fire truck and the fire men all sit down daily in that office collecting salaries for nothing

Harmattan..

Be careful..

As at the time the fire was noticed by those around the market, the magnitude of the inferno could have been curtailed by one fire fighter truck. A fire fighter truck has no water and the station is located few distance to the market. Before trucks move from Ibadan through traffic to Ojoo, Akinyele enroute Oyo will the magnitude of the inferno not have escalated above two trucks? Those fire fighters are just collecting salary. No daily or weekly fire fighting exercise.

Seyi Makinde PR has just failed one KPI.

The irony

Starboytwo:
Fire fighter could not do anything cuz equipment was bad, ehn, equipment was bad in this 2020, this is not 2019 ooo, 2020, and there is still no equipment... And people go to work there everyday, they have oga, they collect salary, and the oga self have oga...



Maybe this country is cursed or something, it seems everything is wrong and nothing is working...

No light everywhere darkness, millions never use light this year...

Fire they burn, fire fighter say him no get equipment? why you con dey exist?

My mom is a trader, so I know how those market women feel, that's a terrible thing to happen, worse is firefighter wey no get equipments...

All goods, shops, money, owo oni rice, iya elewa, mama oni garri, iya olonje, all of them BIG shenking...

Blame the local government chairman, senator, governor then buhari himself, they are responsible

blood is speaking against this country.

Then is better they are burnt. How can you put none functional equipment in a place to serve as aids. They are waste, rubbish and are better destroyed than take unnecessary space and constitute nuisance.

Protesting about bad governance is a different ball game entirely to this issue.
There is a non-chalant attitude of some government office... The fact that the fire service is hardly called upon in Oyo town make them to b lazy up to the extent of not having water at all.... Why are they existing if they could not at least try to get water in case on emergencies.... There are rivers they could have use their idle time to go there and get water and store...... At least before support from other stations were available... It could be said of them that they did their best....


Its like a police station telling u that they do not have a single gun or police stick.....

Yes the government is to be blame...

But these people under hot aggression of loosing properties worth millions/billions will not have the time to think like that..

Just sympathize with them and we all charge the government on providing the facilities needed not putting in place a non functional structure

Infact billions of naira have desroyed in that market.

And when another fire happens nko? And this is the same urchin that goes about nairaland littering everywhere with hate and tribalism..no wonder! Your likes have reasonings that are anomaly..here is someone encouraging arson and destruction of government property.. you all should be locked away in a dungeon and left to rot!
