The popular Wadata Market in Makurdi, Benue State last night was gutted by fire.



Lasgidi Online reliably gathered that the fire started since 3am.



At the time of filing this report, the cause of the fire was not known yet.

More details on this later.

May God Help us all. This shouldn't be happening at the beginning of the year.

It isn't uncommon for markets to be gutted fire in Nigeria, especially now that's harmattan season. But what is common is fire services not coming on-time to get rid of the fire. What a bad way to start the year.

Na wao.... New year, new wahala for those people... God help them

Ortom and Bad luck

There was this article that explains how climate change alters the Nigerian climate. In raining season will suffer bigger flooding. In dry season, the dryness our wind makes our environment more fire prone. Unfortunately we need to invest in more efficient drainage and fire hazard reduction services. Otherwise we will continue to see higher incidents of flooding and fire breakouts.
