What is this thing outsiders see about Nigeria that we don't see?

I remember a South African lady celebrating Nigerian Visa around 2014. She claimed to have been denied the visa multiple times.

Really, what could be in this country that we don't see?

Debunking fake news: Lagos State Fire Service did not use buckets to quench the Balogun Market fire.

I posted this yesterday.




There was a fire at Balogun Market on Tuesday. It was a huge blaze.

A video of a man that was throwing buckets of water at the fire soon went viral. The people that shared and spread the video claimed that the man was a member of the Lagos State Fire Service.

Here is the video and pictures of the man.

However, the man is clearly not a member of either the Lagos State Fire Service or the Federal Fire Service. It appears that the man is wearing some kind of uniform, but that is not the uniform of either the Lagos State Fire Service or the Federal Fire Service. In fact, it does not look like the uniform of any government agency. The man might just be a private security guard who was trying to protect his building.

This is the uniform of the Lagos State Fire Service.

And this is what they wear when they are fighting a fire.

Snorkels

There was a massive fire at NET Building in 1983 (I was on Broad Street on that day). The building was consumed by the fire. NET Building was the tallest building in West Africa at the time. The investigative panel that was set up afterwards recommended that a snorkel should be bought for the Federal Fire Service. A snorkel was bought and it was kept at the Federal Fire Service headquarters on Campbell Street. However, that snorkel had broken down by the time of the Nepa Building fire in 1990.

Union Bank built a new headquarters building in the late 1990s and it was acclaimed as the tallest or second tallest building in Nigeria (depending on how you classify buildings). They knew that they needed to protect the building, so they bought a snorkel for the Union Bank Fire Service.

The administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola also bought several snorkels for the Lagos State Fire Service and one of the snorkels was kept at the new Onikan Fire Station.

These snorkels were used to fight the fire at Balogun Market and here are videos and pictures of the snorkels in action.

However, the infamous British racist and shock jock, Katie Hopkins had picked up on the viral story of a Nigerian fire service fighting a fire with buckets of water and she tweeted this.

Organs:
Bros, once again me and you no be mate. I am a very very proud NIGERIAN. I am not illegal but i don't have citizenship because i REFUSED to take the oath of citizenship. You willingly "renounced" your Nigerianess which is ok. a lot of folks did it however, i, just like Sowore refused to do it. I am tempted but i will not rush to do it. However, you are the low IQ low mentality Nigerians, because you are even boasting about it. Comot for road, we nobi mates, abeg.

Organs:
Bros i live in a midwestern State in the USA. Paying taxes is compulsory and not something you boast about paying. All i am saying is people with your mentality are the lazy runaway folks that are just scratching a living abroad. What does my address have to do with anything? Also, FYI, i just don't pay income taxes alone, i pay Property taxes and business owner taxes.

Organs:
Mumu, i live abroad too but i am a Nigerian to the core. You should be ashamed of yourself for running away and boasting about electricity that you did not contribute to. I am everyday thinking of how to make Nigeria better and mumu like you are always insulting and pointing finger. i'm sure you do odd jobs, into crime or saying yes sir yes sir everyday cos of living abroad. Most folks in the Corporate world abroad are thinking Nigeria.

Organs:
See this scammer that cannot come up straight with his "sex" using "f" monica to deceive and talking about not living miserably.... Bros, for you to boast about having uninterrupted power shows you're actually a scumbag hiding behind a keyboard. Also, may your curse return back to you, amen.

sodiqapril:
the way you defend this adminstration is appalling and I've noticed you comment on every thread on this forum..don't you have a job?
You read clearly a reported case of corruption yet all your detailed brain can think of is to insult "Wailers" I know you're an old man just that your sense has refused to grow with you.. I hope someone knocks sense into your thick skull so you can see the evil in the administration you're supporting before it leads you down the path of doom your business took

Organs:
Dont worry, they said worst things about GEJ. They called him mumu, mugu, Turai houseboy, he used to wash plate in Aso Rock, etc and its mostly folks like you that amounts to nothing substantial in real life. Alo educate yourself between prime minister and federal Minister.

Shooyie:
Keep up the good work Sir. You have really been active and we appreciate all the work you have put into making the country a better place.

wallex1983:
Is that a crime?

So what does the constitution say about the timing for commissioning of projects, Mr. Senator

StaffofOrayan:
You probably follow their religion
A blacks man's saviour is either a White man or an Arab man.
Just like the write up, a typical black man has zero self confidence in himself, he treats foreigners better than people that looks just like him, afterall the devil is black in both Islam and Christianity.

NigeriaIsDoomed:

ursullalinda:
OP you are so on point!.....It's not my business.....or

nairalandposter:
The thread really makes no sense, I assumed the op just wanted to highlight "SUV".

Rosskiki:
Oh sure... You people never seize to amaze me by your sheer stupidity where it concerns analysing ''white people''. Get this into your thick skull. In the last century, these your angelic, brilliant ''white people'' slaughtered nearly 150 million of themselves in two great European wars they foolishly called ''world'' wars.

Stalin alone slaughtered 30 million of his people in the Soviet Union.

Hitler was a master butcher who slaughtered countless millions.

Mussolini of Italy was a bloodthirsty maniac, and partner of Hitler in his madness.

Even today, ''white people'' have built nuclear weapons capable of destroying all life on earth hundreds of times over, POINTED AT EACH OTHER. US v Russia etc.

So where are the ''white people'' that have ''quickly spoken up and made sure all this tragedy was/is 'nipped in the bud'?

In America today, the income inequality is outrageous. ''The average employee 'needs to work more than a month to earn what the CEO earns in one hour.'' .....''the top wealthiest 1% possess 40% of the nation's wealth; the bottom 80% own 7%''.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_United_States


This inequality has been the case for decades. and is getting worse. Do you know that over 1 million Americans are homeless and sleep on the streets every night? This is a country whose annual GDP is 20 trillion dollars.

Where are the ''''white people'' that have ''quickly spoken up and made sure all this is 'nipped on the bud'?

Please folks...... Quit idealizing ''white people''. It's plain dumb inferiority complex based on nothing.
