It's just so sad.

One woman called in on a radio program I was listening to earlier this morning; she said they went to visit a family friend who lost his wife in the incident. The deceased wife drove her husband to the airport in the morning for him to catch his flight to Abuja after which she went to work at Afriland towers.

The man was called in Abuja that there was fire in his wife's office, so he had to rush down back to Lagos. He was directed to UBA head office where the news was later broken to him that his wife had died in the incident. The woman left behind 2 kids and her husband. She said the husband is still in shock till now .

The caller claimed the building had emergency exit but that it had been rented out to another tenant.

In all my years dealing with HSE, I never hear this thing before.
Rented out what?

GloriousGbola:
I just remembered one of my former colleagues has a wife who is in FIRS

i just called him

fortunately she was out of the office when it happened

apparently it is actually 11 to 13 people that died - not 7. also i am hearing that there may have been fire escapes and that the spaces [ likely the landings] were rented out as shopping space


and yes everything points to an inverter catching fire

What?? M ml
They rented out ERP spaces?

[color=royalblue]The Retail price of Lagos should be lower nau[/color]

Lmao.
What happens to the truck union?
Coz Dangote has basically taken out middlemen. Atleast for now

Ellexy:
Omo I'm actually heartbroken. They really assassinated Charlie Kirk. May God comfort his family. 🙏

Why are you heart broken?

BlueRayDick:
Ah, No oooo. I am not fact checking him o.

For example , on this one I only stated what I know and if u see his follow up post he acknowledged that he knows same too but was only stressed out buying fuel in gallon hence his anger with the NUPENG strike.

Lmaooo it's fine😁.

semid4lyfe:
You for no waste ink. Prospa na Odogwu of one-way thinking. Hin dey always reason like ruler. For him, you must be either for Obi or PBAT. He does not appreciate that one can support Obi, and still commend PBAT for a good policy like I have done a few times, so he's been trying to stick that PBAT label on me for the longest time. So his post is in furtherance of that.



Baba, no dey play support striker.

Feel free to counter and fact-check me anytime wey you feel say I no yarn correct. I no dey here to win arguements, and I don talk am before say na the plurality of opinions for this thread dey make am tick. Na open mind dey keep discussion alive, and once head lock, conversation don die be that. So I am always open to learn, unlearn and re-learn.

Love and light.

Lmaooo love and light keh?
After you Don lace your post with subtle venom😂😂

Good luck with your experiences✋

BlueRayDick:
It is actually Dangote that is to blame for this issue not the Unions.

Nigerian Labour laws allows for staff of oil companies to belong to respective labour unions like PENGASSEN, NUPENG, etc. Dangote banning his staff from belonging to these labour unions is in contravention of labour laws.

The only way these unions can force his hand is to go on strike since strike is the only language Nigerian government and employers understand.

As regards ur last paragraph, that is a blatant lie; nobody is forcing Dangote to sell PMS at a dictated price. In fact, marketers who import their PMS are willing to sell below the price Dangote is selling. As at This past Saturday I bought PMS at 845 per liter at an independent marketer filling station along Lasu-Iba road, while MRS that sells Dangote PMS still sells for N860 and NNPC sells for N865.

Lmao.. I can't remember the last time you didn't factcheck semid4lyfe

BlueRayDick:
Make Sowore and FG just dey whine themselves dey go in a bid to distract Nigerians from registering their opposition to the proposed 5% tax on Petrol.

You Don clock the guy😂

Lmaoo.. Ronus will rather swallow vomit than admit Lagos is a special case😁

BlueRayDick:
These people no wise at all.

Instead of just saying Southwest got 30.3% FEC approvals, they decided to split Southwest into 3. To what end exactly?

Lmao.. To avoid showing favoritism, by showing special favoritism 😁

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I think it's intentional

Adding the percentage of Lagos and the SW, will put the SW above all regions. Tinubu already said he has done more for NW than others. So he needs to win their hearts

So this is the best way to put it. NW still becomes the highest beneficiary (excluding Lagos)[/color]

And when you exclude Lagos, you make it special status hence why the president said the state is no man's land.

airmark:
No more the President said. You Obidients are like your mentor from Agulu.

Lmao.. Like I said, when you become president then don't hire SSA to speak for you okay.

Till then go and fight Tinubu 😁

BlueRayDick:
Omo!

Abeg what's the source of this pie chart?

https://x.com/SundayDareSD/status/1962864360553939219?t=Czi4xUs1mWztj_s2vDHevg&s=19

Airmark go say this one nor be from presidency too😂

🤣
You have SW
You have Lagos exclusive
You have FG projects passing through lagos

😁
But you think the presidency was wrong to say Lagos is no man's land 😁

airmark:
Even Bwala used 'I' when he was defending the interview. This reeks of desperation.

Brother.
The presidency has said Lagos is no man's land.

Go and fight Tinubu and stop crying to me ✋

airmark:
The President never said that, Daniel Bwala did.

Don't worry, when you become president, you don't need to employ SSA's to speak for you.
You can be doing it yourself.

Till then, don't embarrass yourself online with this opinion 😂.

airmark:
Amen.

Bwala has explained what he meant. If you are still in doubt go and ask Lagos to change their 'Eko o ni baje' slogan to what everyone will hear and understand.

You will go and fight Tinubu for calling Lagos no man's land.

airmark:


Bwala :

"... constitutionally Lagos belongs to the Yoruba people"


Just as constitutionally Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia constitutionally belong to the Igbo people.

Lmaoo same way he has said it is no man's land.

God bless you.
God bless Tinubu for this revelation.
God bless Pa Jakande.

God bless Nigeria 😁

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But it is really crazzzy that the Federal Government would list their infrastructure achievements for the whole country and write EXCLUDING LAGOS.

What does that even mean??[/color]

Airmark Oasisx what does it mean?

airmark:
Quote the President, verbatim.

That's what the president said below👌.

Haqhaqhaqhaq

izzou:
[color=royalblue]No matter the area, there would be its true inhabitants.

Lagos is cosmopolitan..Yes
But they have true indigenes. They do.
[/color]

So is Lagos a no man's land or not going by all you've said.

Or it's not as straightforward to answer 😁

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Daniel Bwala insulted even if it is 1000 True Lagosians in this country. It can never be no man's land.

But he's right about it's cosmopolitan nature. Everybody is here.

I think I saw a list of the highest tax players in Lagos, and I think the top 2 or 3 are Northerners.

Omoh, we will be fine as a country, las las[/color]

Daniel Bwala did not come and speak without the authority of Tinubu 😂.
So tinubu insulted true lagosians?
How are you calling it an insult when they have not said it's an insult yet?

Let us wait for the defenders to come and say what they think and we will proceed😁

izzou:
[color=royalblue]In a bid to hide the nepotism, they showed all the infrastructure developments in Nigeria, and excluded Lagos.

But that doesn't mean it's not owned by a people.[/color]

Sadly those people's opinion doesn't matter in the politics of tinubu.
He has looked at it and even if there is anger from Lagos from some online youths, the ogas will still keep quiet because he has given the state undue advantage over the rest of the country😁.

Basically he can call Lagos anything and the leaders will smile and agree😁.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How can anywhere be "No man's land"?

Irrespective of the fact that he's right with his examples, it doesn't make it a No man's land.[/color]

So he's right but he's wrong 😁?

Airmark so you agree with the president that Lagos is no man's land? 😁

Coming from the presidency, this should settle it now..

Is this the video you're talking about?

It's no big deal, whether Lagos is a no man's land or not.

Where you people will see my true colour is when you don't also designate Abuja as a no man's land.

This is from the presidency.
Please go and argue with Tinubu 😂.

The fact they can say anything to defend Lagos getting most of the money😂

Ibime:
Congrats Strong man

If I may, one piece of advice is not to keep Naija expectations of man working and woman keeping household in Obodo Oyinbo

As we say over here, DINKYs have the most disposable income - Double Income, No Kids

OH no I don't do that.

There's a gulf (this is me putting it lightly) in difference.
It's the ease to be able to take care of madam and still have baby's (toddler) needs sorted on a single income.
Now I am trying to imagine how much easier it will be when madam decides she is done resting😁
Even more disposable income for us

Theflint1:
These abroadians generally have no mercy...you'd tell them things are hard in the country and they'd be shraing posts from troll accounts that are cooking food with 4 pieces of meat for #250 .

I'm surprised you're yet to join their show of unending wickedness.

Maybe na because I still fresh.
Give me another 10years 😁

Crazy sha.
4 months after relocation, I've gotten work in preferred career path, about to buy brand new motor between 2023-2025 (financing option) and even more disposable income than ever before.

Madam can actually afford to take a break from working and just relax😁.

Kai naija. Well God knows why I delayed this relocation as long as I did😁.

Airmark so this na wetin you dey enjoy and you come dey support apc (terrorist organization)

izzou:
[color=royalblue]They will still come back.

I'll blame the Local Government and also the Resident association for how Festac is today. They left the place to retrogress so bad.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think there's any residential estate in Nigeria, that is as planned as FESTAC. I was born there, and grew up as a kid.

Today, the whole place is upside down.

Those shanties will be back. Make the heat cool down fess[/color]

DSC in Delta state comes close actually
