But seriously, How can a company have an underground tanker for fuel and diesel without fire fighting equipment? There discharging fuel and no safety officer around to be sure things are done wit care?


Igbomen, always wanting to cut cost and d detriment of their own safety......Sorry for ur loss....I hope he has insurance oh

So sad

"Okigbo urged the government to equip G.U.O. and other companies with fire-fighting equipment."
Why would the govt equip a private business of that capacity knowing fully well that a business of such magnitude would be belted to a comprehensive insurance policy.
The govt hasn't remove the plank in its oown eyes how much more a privately owned transport company.

it must be insured but if not, he's on a long thing.

Wow!!! GUO! I pray it doesn't affect their services to their customers/passengers plying the Eastern axis.

GUO has one of the best customer services. They are also safety conscious. So why could this have happened?

Too bad. I hope the buses and goods were insured.

God ve mercy Hmmm too bad , wish u quick recovery GUO .

Investments lost within a twinkle of an eye. I pray I never share out of fire disaster in my life.

This is the problem with Nigeria, did the owner of these properties pray for this? When you have such a business, you insure your assets instead we will rather be greedy and hope for the best always.

The inferno was a heavy loss to GUO. Thank God no loss of life was mentioned. However, I think the company is big enough to possess its on fire fighting truck so the company spokes person should not say they re waiting on the government to provide them with that. The billions lost was enough to provide fire fighting equipment for them.

I wish them multiple growth.

Certainly, the cars are insured. It's sad though but the insurance company is there to indemnify the company

UnknownT:
Hope he get insurance

Eyah sorry ooooo

J0nyb0y:
nawa... investment gone just like that.. now Who does the company want to hold for this

Imagine? That govt should equip G.U.O with fire fighting equipments. When do we also take up responsibilities. Are we not demanding too much from this govt? GUO wit all the cash they are making should have set up their small fire fighting unit.You make d money and u expect govt to ............mm Any way, I sympathize wit ur loss.

Insurance ti je gbese.

This is where insurance will come in. Insurance works in Nigeria. Insure your valued property

Insurance go pay tire..

"Okigbo urged the government to equip G.U.O. and other
companies with fire-fighting equipment."

That is a hilarious request.

I thought you were sensible at first but you proved yourself to be tribalistic butt-hole. Congratulations!

godofwar666:
Here in Russia we don't no d meaning of fire n mind u d hamattan is too much

I don't mean to offend, but I think your joke is inappropriate at this instance.
I don't know the owner but as a fellow human with decency in our blood, we should not laugh at other people's misfortune.
Whatever we might say about him, but the fact that he is a fellow nigerian who chose to invest in his own country and thus provide jobs for fellow citizens , we should sympathize with him.

May God console him and replenish his resources.

it's God's intervention, it could be that those buses will claim people lives if put on the road this year.

I don't have time to exchange words wit u....It might interest u to knw dat am an Igbo guy myself, But it won't stop me frm saying d truth. How much is fire fighting equipment dat can't be stationed in dis guys parks for God sake.


Mind u, last time i checked, am entitle to my opinion....take ur frustration elsewhere.....If u quote me again, then ur a big fool

He said although they tried to stop the fire, they were handicapped by lack of equipment.

Okigbo urged the government to equip G.U.O. and other companies with fire-fighting equipment.

Yeah, this man can go f**k off into space. Why should Government use taxpayers money to fix fire fighting equipment in a private enterprise?

UnknownT:

was bout asking same

natureblack:
Wow,what a lose



Hope no life was lost ?........it's time for his insurance company to play their role.

Ifahear say dem play their role. Money suckers in disguise.

if so,litigation can be picked.

I'm sure they have vehicle insurance. They should file a police report and make a claim from the insurance company. It's the legal thing to do. Unless, he did not insure those vehicles against disasters such as this.

As much as I sympathize with GUO on their losses, I find it funny the spokes person suggesting the government to assist transporters with fire-fighting equipment

How can you invest millions in vehicles for transportation business, have a fuel dump locally and yet ignored investing in fire-fighting equipment? waiting for government's dysfunctional service?

And me too

Some of the burnt vehicles of G.U.O Transport Company Limited during an inferno in the commercial city of Onitsha in Anambra state on Monday night are pictured below:

Life mehn ..every victor is a victim somewhere and every victim is a victor somewhere..Life balances up..(quoting TD Jakes) Ndo GUO, bouncing back will show you're blessed.

O ma se o.. God console them

HappyJoe:
A company of that size should have robust fire fighting equipment.

This is basic health, safety and environment.

The problem is if you propose this to the typical Igbo businessman, he'll tell you that you are "blowing grammar".

It happened on a sunday night as against monday dt was reported . The fire went out of hand cos ppl were not at work.
Those luxurious buses are new buses he bought just last year. I pray God will give him the heart to bear the loss.

Too bad

Go and use train! Those seven buses na 8 coaches on the train...
