I get ur analogy now bt how does am incompetent fire service pass such important instruction and policy? A fire service that came to fight a fire 20mins from their office bt came after 1hour with faulty equipment?

It is a systemic problem. Individuals can try and secure themselves that may help bt not always work in certain scenarios so u still need an effective fire service department.

It's just like Nigerian govt fighting corruption when corruption has already taken place. To nip corruption in the bud, we have to plug all avenues where people take advantages of it.

It's the same thing as fighting fire. You have to detect it early on time to be able to control it. Hence the need for installation of detection systems. Research had it that the first 3-5mins of a fire is the critical phase. Fire may still engulf in those period, but the good thing is people can promptly evacuate to avoid fatalities.

I understand we are still a developing country, but we need to start catching up with the rest of the developed world gradually. Some of these detection systems are not that expensive. Their usefulness greatly outweighs the collosal loss of buildings and fatalities that could happen in a fire.

Talking about fire service department,....they will always try their best to arrive on time. (I'm talking as a trained fire fighter here). One thing we must understand is that public fire service department are more or less LAST LINE of defence to a fire. Whatever you can do within the 3-5mins of a fire to contain/extinguish a fire is the very ultimate.

There is a fire service station right there in surulere and 20mins from that street yet fire service came 1hour later and with malfunctioning equipments.

What a useless state Lagos has become.



Yet Lagos claims to be a mega city? More like a highly corrupt and mismanaged state.



Can smoke detectors put out an inferno??

Thank God you said inferno. An inferno such as every fire starts usually as a small smoulder. The purpose of fire detection system is to get an alert before the fire gets out of hand. I've lived in many foreign countries, and even the smallest building you would imagine has fire detection system.

I have same in my house, and I can honestly tell you that it alerted me when I slept off in the middle of the night while cooking beans. The pot was a total write off though, but not the building. I had to appologise to the neighborhood for the alarms the following day.

Like I said, it's high time Fire service department compelled buildings to have fire and smoke detection systems. I'm sure most modern structures in Lekki and VGC have it.

It's high time Fire service department compelled builders to include fire and smoke detection systems in their building.

It's negligence on the driver's side. The battery of a Tesla lasts long per charge.

If he can afford a Tesla he can afford a capable electricity generating plant to charge the car. He should know he's in Nigeria.

And he will carry his power station everywhere he's going?

What needs to be done is to have charging station at say every 2km.

The Ooni may have issues

Even weyrey like Charlie boy never got divorced because he married weyrey like him and they produced weyrey children

That's why the Oba should marry juju like him from the shrine; not a prophetess.

Thank you, but I taught its from the most junior to the most senior.

The relevance of the mail is equally important.
If the mail needs attention of a Supervisor before a Manager and finally the GM, then you can list the CC in this order Supervisor>>Manager>>GM.

A lot of formalty called "office etiquettes" comes into play. And some organization may spell out how you should use the CC and BCC especially if you are a junior staff.

I've seen a supervisor that frown at CCing or BCCing anyone above him especially if the mail indicts him. (It would just seems like you are reporting your boss to his boss).

I've also seen a boss that would request all the people you BCC'd in other to make sure everyone is duly replied and no one is left out of the loop of your earlier reporting of him.

In all, there's the standard practice, the respect practice, office etiquettes/politics among others. You just have to use it wisely as it suits the purpose especially if you are in a formal environment.

It's about time!

Imagine giving loans to pay back in 2weeks with 50% interest. That's not even a shark loan, that's a killer whale loan.

50% interest! Why should a sane person even take such loans?

Reference:
Took a detour past there this evening, about an hour ago.
The fire is out completely, the place was sealed and two fire trucks were on the premises.
The building is totalled, completely destroyed, nothing salvageable.

Thanks for the update. I was concerned by the comment people were posting that after 24hours the fire is still on. I

Is the fire still raging or already under control?
Is the area already secured?

I guess the fire is already under control. Fire fighters must have assessed it that way....unless some hungry birds go there to pilfer and cause a dissipating fire to turn to an inferno again.

Kriss216:
To what end?

Times have changed. We need to change with it.

This Wike govt soots Rivers people.

Covid or No Covid, Nose mask should be permanently worn in PH.

Thou shall be the head and not the tail.

Police nko

Police dey make money from collecting bribe na

How fast can you hack into the database of the company you wish to work for?



Prove to them that they are less secured than they think!

They will get issue with GTB regarding that Orange colour.

It's strange how Xmas carol no come dey vibe. Only jaga-jaga songs such as Zazu zeh dey vibe
. Which kind economic crunch be dis Baba God!

Sermwell:
Anything can happen anytime. If Tinubu dies today, alot of things can happen to Lagos!

Nobody will die. But with or without him, PDP has already been swept into the lagoon.

ovieigho:
Pocket is dry !

Same fate will befall MC oluomo if PDP wins Lagos state

But how PDP wan take win Lagos na. You self think am well na.

Okwyjesus:
Then their court case against Soludo is void since they are not eligible to contest

Anybody can sue Soludo/APGA for the same reason. Even a shoemaker on the road.

People seriously need manuals on the use of social media.

ERORR404:
Even the selection of a one day governor had to be rigged in favour of tinubu's child loyalist. Tuehh....

What evidences do you have? And don't tell me the Cap!

You must recall that Sen. Remi Tinubu started this Spelling Bee competition and it's not a selection process. Schools presents there candidate and a winner emerges. Don't link everything to politics. My neighbor's son came second three years ago.

I don't know why EFCC do not employ people like Aunty Kemi.

Kemolala!

MARKone:
Somebody was busy recording him when this dude jumped. I don't know what is with this generation and video recording. I watched the clip, the person recording would have dropped his phone and see if he could talk this guy out of jumping into the lagoon.

He can be charged for killing him too. Suicide negotiators are trained specialist. If the person doesn't have the skills, his effort may be deemed to have caused the man to jump.

I'm not understanding this move....
Since you are also a General, why not let the change start with you.

"Why not resign too?

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Which one is Mafab now? And why giving MTN another license. A network that switched off for 2days in the whole country few weeks ago!

What’s not to like about Davido

Mysterious/serial death of his crew members

All of you commenting on this topic....including Okupe himself just like to fan any little embers you can lay hands on.

This "running churches as business center" was credited to Falana almost 4years ago, but because Okupe and ya'all just want to start unnecessary trouble, you decided to dig a long forgotten story out to start a 4th world war.

This is another reason why I believe social media should be regulated.
