That was how a PSM vehicle lost control and ran into a motor park where buses conveying passengers to Delta are packed and killed a lot of people that day..

The evil spirit keep calling for blood but I pray with the mercies of cavalry that an Atomic bomb from Lord Almighty to visit their camp today..

Wetin self

I remember that day, planned to travel that day and the place was where i usually take my bus. I later shifted the travel to d next day only to later hear about incident

The fire passed through the drainage all the way from opper iweka and got to Ochanja market. More than 15 plaza with people's goods. God help onitsha

Pray for Biafra restoration

We are praying that Biafra will come at the right time when people start to reason like people not before that time.
You know, Biafra will not manufacture brain for people.
Look at you for example : what has Biafra got to do with Fire Outbreak

docadams:
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.

when it comes to things that concerns Igbos, every creeping and crawling thing would automatically have a say, no matter how worthless and unwanted their opinions might be, they just want to air it. Because... after all it's about the Igbos

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

As at 4:00 nothing has been done

The fire service that came was from Asaba...


3 casualty as at the moment... A multi millionaire who only God knows what actually he was looking for in his shop got burnt and a nursing mother with her baby fell in to the gutter after she went to bring the money that was in her shop...



Lass lass, na sewage water that was used to quench part of the fire

And no fire service anywhere to quench them. What a terrible country. D whole Anambra state were unable to provide a single fire service to quench a fire outburst. What a country! Nigeria right now is in jeopardy! All our leaders are criminals. Since this were able to happen in d whole of Anambra state hmm. Only d people who will understand will understand what happened today in Ochanja market. Tufiakwa! Shame to that government of Anambra state and I owe nobody any apology. Tufiakwa to that government. Rubbish

Thanks for this update dear, i wish i could come down to Onitsha from Awka right now.

This is a disgracing one from the government.

Tufiakwa!

This can't happen in Kano.
Eastern governors are wicked

I blame the fire fighters for this, I remembered after that DMGS roundabout fire caused by a fuel tanker, the Governor bought some more tankers but where are they, people called on radio sapientia of how some fire fighting trucks just parked by St Borommeo's junction without moving towards Ochanja or Upper Iweka

Even as I type. I am there, the fire is s still burning

Sorry as e de pain you. I am just awed that in a major city like Onitsha with all its potentials, no effective fire service. And it is not the first time such is happening in Anambra state. Back in 2004, a similar explosion occurred at a filling station opposite NAUTH, Nnewi. No single firefighter came to the rescue till the fire burnt out. Very disgraceful.

Modify
Delta state had to send an ambulance across the Niger

So dey his knw fire station again for Naija,
Wat type of a Country his dis.
Yesterday here in south Africa, multi choice got burn , immediately fire fighters arrived an controld it , d damage wasnt even much .but for niaja ,pple dey off burning buildings with pure water.
Nigeria his a fail country .

ProudlyAfarmer:
May God protect the people around the place...









Onitsha is a multi billion Naira business hub, they deserve to have standby fire and other emergency facilities.

With the way they chestbeat here, I thought onistha was singapore

God save us from this Onitsha mishap every now and then

Oh

Oh my God

lovere:
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.

Hard facts

Mber months in igboland is sth different

Don't mind those useless people after they blame devil. I was very angry imagine how they would have been roasted

Jh0wsef:
Funny enough. this same incident would have happened just yesterday and claimed the life of many. those scoopers were actually LUCKY.

Look at you for example : what has Biafra got to do with Fire Outbreak

When is the right time Biafra to be restored?


You asked "what has Biafra got to do with fire outbreak?"

Answer! Because nigerians are yet to reasoning properly. You nigerians don't know the strategies of nigeria fulani terrorist government's campaigns against Biafra restoration project. Nigeria government should stop destroying Biafran territories.

That nigeria Petro tanker explosion in Biafraland is an attack against IPOB/Biafra restoration.

Wait until it reaches your side that you will know there's war on going.

MERCHANDISER:
Don't they have a governor?

what have they been doing with paris fund,federal allocation and igr running in billions for?


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

I don't think they have. They make use of the one in Asaba. The governor Obiano does not care ooo. Forget what you see online about his wonder in Anambra, they are just audio pictures and talk.

The market people or Traders have an Association, they know how much they Invested into Building what they have, they should make provisions for this things, the market has the financial strength to provide a standby fire truck and other materials that can be used to fight Fire. We already know our government is not responsive, we need to be pro active.

Nigerians are yet to reason properly?
Do you even listen to yourself?
That fire is in Onitsha, heart of Biafra.
So are you telling me that official proclamation of the Biafra Republic will change the thinking of everybody from Igbo land.
Let's assume that your rant that the fire is an attack on Biafra is actually true:
Did the Fulani terrorist also attack the reasoning and common sense of our people to put basic measures in place to forestall tragedy of such magnitude?
Is it the Fulani that made people build houses on top of or just beside drainages?
Is it Fulani that made traders display wares by the drainages?
Is it Fulani that made the state and local governments not provide standby fire service in a city like Onitsha?
Is it also Fulani that removed your brain that made you not reason along these lines?

To answer your first question, the right time for us to have Biafra is when people like you and Obiano and other fellow Igbo starts reasoning properly.

If we get it before that time, we will all face even worse situation than we are already facing in Nigeria today.
