Honestly This country is not yet matured for certain things due to lack of regulation and strict supervision.

We all know how dangerous gas is, especially cooking gas. Gas plants are not supposed to be close to residential buildings, but they are littered everywhere, between compounds and people's houses.

Great expertise and care should be used while operating one because of the highly flammable nature of such enterprise, but they just pick up random people to sell gas.

How can a gas plant have POS shop inside, right at the noozle where gas is dispensed?

I mean, there are extinguishers around, and warning signs that phones should be switched off while at a gas plant, but the owner of the plant is boldly operating phone, checking alert from someone that came to buy gas and did transfer.

People will be answering calls and browsing right at the noozle of the gas plant, yet they feel it's okay.

Something needs to be done! All these road side gas plants should be shut down for safety of the citizens!!!

Life first!!!

You are right

I tell you !!!
I can never rent/buy a property close to a gas plant/fuel station ,they are a ticking time bomb.

There should be an organisation that monitors these things ,but Nigerians will 'mind their business ' till something goes wrong.

Such organisations/office exists in the ministry of environment I think, but they only collect settlement and life goes on.

This is a very serious issue, I think I'm being paranoid by trying to avoid this kind of places but I'm not. Safety first!

when you visit burns wards in the hospital, you would understand what am talking about.

The painful thing is that even if you live in a decent environment, one big man might just show up one day and start a cooking gas plant near you! Such a pity

Honestly.

That phobia for gas just won't leave me

The problem is that those that should be checking these things are either incompetent, novice or there by connection. That is why we keep running around in circles.
Our people too don't listen.. everything is a means to make quick money till they end up getting burnt beyond recognition.

People are just all about the money, forgetting that life first
