More than 2000 shops razed down... Residential building, peoples' investment down the drain.
Imagine a big city such as onitsha doesnt have a standy fire service ...
You could imagine an incident that started for Morethan 4hours hasnt seen any presence of fire service...I just saw one now heading there... the next I heard people are trowing stones..People are angry... They pay all forms of tax to the Anambra state govt coffers..but to provide simple basic social amenities like the one need now is now Rocket science..

Shame shame !!

Lord save our pple from dat angle ooo

AMEN.


Thanks, Bro

Funny set of people, just shouting on the side and making no effort to reach emergency services (if they had one); they were busy throwing satchet water and feeding the fire.

Wow, thought it was in Canada

The fire is too much and about 3 people are dead now.

May almighty God save us in this country

where is the state fire service

Jesus oji oku eri aja
The God that answereth my fire u will be my God
The thin that happen in the time of elijah has happen again

Say what u know, its been over two hours the incident occured and d fire service jus arrived few minutes ago

We have failed in all aspect of human existence as a nation. No emergency services, no fire hydrants on our streets and buildings. Tankers and big lorries are on our roads all the time. All we believe is prayer and prayer.

is a pity

May God protect everyone involved

This is not a national issue, blame your state government, how can a whole state no emergency service, this is not a village!

Hmm. It is a tragedy. May all lives be spared. Somebody said the firefighters came after 2 hours. Hope they didn't come blaring sirens without water. The igbos should focus attention more on their states instead of wasting their energy discussing happenings in Lagos, Kano, Lokoja, or Daura.

This same particular spot i can count how many lives anambra state has lost to that particular spot over d years its like every year tragic must happen down there....


NB pls op toronto hospital is opposite that scene as in road separates them both

Every state suppose to have a standby fire and other emergency facilities.

what has the state government done to mitigate the fire outbreak?

My people this tanker fell around 2pm, it started at upper iweka.. The gas went through the gutters connecting ochanga and upper iweka.. This is 4.25,the fire is still on. Pray for Onitsha

willie obiano is trying but he needs to intensify his effort.

This is disheartening
