The issue of fire at markets all over the country shows how underdeveloped we are operating in this country.


How many markets in Nigeria have, fire alarms/smoke detectors, CCTV cameras to capture some of this incident, in order to minimize further damage?
only in Maiduguri 3 main market

Bros treat everyone as an individual.
Just like some igbos are tribalist, yorubas have their own tribalists too

Onitsha is not Lagos state

Is Onitsha now in Lagos, or how did Yoruba play into this.

Can't it just be carelessness or something.

Traders are counting their losses after shops and offices were destroyed as fire broke out at the popular Onitsha Main Market, in Anambra State, IGBERETV reports.

According to an eyewitness, the fire broke out early morning of Tuesday, March 21, 2023, in a section of the market known as White House. White House is the office of the leaders of the market, an expansive two-storey building and hosts several offices, halls for meetings in the first and second floor, while the ground floor hosts shops.

"The area mostly affected by the fire is the block of shops under the white house, where expensive lace materials are sold.โ€, eyewitness said.

Firefighters battled for hours to contain the inferno as some of the traders salvaged their goods while others watched in tears as the fire consumed their shops.

Spokesman of Anambra Command of the Police, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said firefighters and policemen were on ground to control the fire and prevent looting.

A video which captured the fire was shared on Facebook by Udeh Nicholas with the caption;

MAYBE GOVERNOR Sanwo-olu WOULD GO DONATE ANOTHER 100 MILLION Naira TO THEM, LIKE HE DID IN THE CASE OF Apapa MARKET.

The donation was a misplaced priority and misappropriation of funds of Lagos state taxpayers' money.

cool
So sad, fire due to neutral failure from mains supply burnt my fridge and nearly burnt my wife's shop.
It was the crate of drinks close by which quenched the fire miraculously because there were broken bottles on the ground.
I think lack of oxygen and suffocation from the spilled drinks helped.

What am I trying to say.

I was careless, very careless.
This could have been prevented by a surge protector.This is basic knowledge.
I could have built an overvoltage and under voltage cut off, but I overlooked it.

If not for those drinks acting as a deluge.
I would have been fucckkeedd.

Fires like this are preventable and Thier prevention system is very cheap.
But just like me , we just don't care.
Things like this will keep on repeating and sorry for the loss won't solve anything.

People need to start taking safety serious
People need to start understanding it is your responsibility to protect yourself, your team and your asset.

If everyone has this mentality, the ratio of this issues will drop significantly, but no as usual

It is the responsibility of God and Government.

We reap what we sow

I thank God this never happened in Lagos they would av tagged the GOvt say na derr thug and APC destroy dere market nothing wey u fit tell dem dey only believe in dere own Theory...



If fire incident happens in Lagos they are always jumping to conclusions that is the Yoruba always burning dere market...



This was how the GRV guy jumped into conclusion on the Akere market and his people too jumped into conclusion...



I think every big Markets needs a Fire truck ๐Ÿš’ always on standby where the people in charge do shifting but the Truck must always be there for any emergency wether na day or night the way Police dey stay for check point...
yes,cos yolobas are filled with envy for the success of the igbos.
Now,that's a fact visible to the blind.

6 Igbo markets on fire in different parts of Nigeria in less than 35 days, and you think they are all mere accident? Bro..think, Igbos are under siege.

No one is under siege, you should pay more attention to Health and safety - it is important.

Re-educate yourself please. wink

Too many fire incidents,let them find a way to avoid this. Most times it is caused by nepa light,wire on top pole will be sparking. Something similar happened last year and it was light that caused it.

Shop available at maza maza lagos
Yearly rent 150k
Two year rent required
Agent and agreement 200k
start amala and ewedu biz there,no igbo man is interested in ya offer.

I feel for our Igbo brothers, they are going through alot at the moment. Will Tinubu or Buhari visit the scene to check the cause of these fire and help to resolve them?

We're not going through any hardship that isn't common to other sections of the country. Many comments on this incident try to divert attention from the main issues that need addressing.
