That's sad, millions of Naira destroyed in this wonderful economy. How will the owner replace the vehicle, God please protect your people.

Tradman:
you must be very stupid

Tradepunter2:
Look at the intensity of the fire..... It's evident it was set off... Fires as a result mechanical or electrical fault takes longer before it's engulfs.... It's a SUV, which have mechanisms from preventing fire spreading rapidly if it starts from the engine..... I can go into more technical detail but it will be long

Hope no life was lost, car is replaceable but life is not.

However, everything in Nigeria is very substandard, something urgent needs to be done to address this.
I was once in this situation and my brand new fire extinguisher failed, over five more fire extinguisher from other motorist that came to intervene also failed, it was sand that good Samaritans around used to quench the fire when I have already lost hope of recovering the car.

God help us in this country 🙏

I cited an example of fire extinguisher when I made my comment, I wasn't speaking to cars only. There are factors to this, in my own case I only went to change my brake pads, not only was I sold a substandard break pad but it was also very expensive cos it was packaged and sold as original. That same day, on my way home from the mechanic, the assumed original break pad resulted in my caliper having issues. What saved me was that I was about to use the roundabout in a busy area, where people spotted the fire coming out from one of tire's side and raised alarm and luckily I wasn't on AC on that faithful day unlike me.

This is not a fire extinguisher kind of fire o, na inferno be this.
How did it get to this irredeemable state?
Could something not have been done at onset?

Babysho:
To yield to the heat of flame
On the bridge to new purpose
Creating the institution of mundane
So we flee the infernos of the green vessel

Likely electrical problem

Caused by an inexperienced rewire.

Was once a victim, when I returned from a rewire..as I off engine.

Engine catch 🔥....seemed like a joke

Oga,
You just saw images from a car that drove by, the person who made the pictures obviously wasnt there when the fire started, he met the fire at this stage, what makes you feel the car was not burning for an hour before this picture was taken?
It is a wrong way to look at it, you dont look at a car that is half way burnt and assume that the fire started at that stage, it is actually idiotic to think that way,An entire house can get engulfed in a fire that started from something as small as a piece of paper and in 30 minutes the entire house becomes an inferno. A car burnt down in front of VGC some months ago the lady and her friend were returning from a party the fire started in the burnet we stopped and we began to use our extinguishers and sand it didnt stop less than 20 minutes the fire was just like this.
It is idiotic to look at a car that is almost completely burnt and assume the fire started like that.
Or you think the 14 buildings that burnt down i Lagos island the fire just dropped on them at once? That fire at lagos island started from a generator.
So are you gonna look at tge 14 buildings and say some pour petrol on each of the buildings?

Do you know an entire forest can get brunt down buy a match stick?

I dont know how you young people of today think, looks like you all think backward
