AT LEAST THE FACT THEY ARE HIDING IT SHOW THAT THEY ARE SENSIBLE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND IT AS A SOLUTION.

IT ALSO MEANS THEY KNOW IT IS A TERRORIST ATTACK AND HAOOY FOR IT TO CONTINUE.

OMANBALA1:


Thanks for taking it down. Now is time to deal with that Aguleri drunk!!

OMANBALA1:
Where is the fire service that Obiano bragged about ? You see, governance is not about running up and down opening government services that doesn't have the resources and manpower to carry out their duties...just look at how our citizens including a child were fried by fire yet he brags about some sttupid and worthless fire service he set up that doesn't serve any purpose. Obiano has failed Ndi Anambra and APGA must be defeated!!

Unbiased1:
So Anambra state under Obiano does not have an emergency team? Over 3 hours of fire and no response from the Anambra fire service. I'm disappointed honestly

Calm down bro, there is what is called natural disasters. RIP to the dead

I HAVE COUNTLESS TIMES, TOLD DEM DIS IS A TERRORIST ATTACK. cc Cococandy and pazienza are my witness.

GLOBEMONEY CALLED ME NAMES.

WHERE IS GLOBEMONEY NOW?

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN ANAMBRA IS NONCHALANT ATTITUDE.

THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO OUTDO EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF COMPLIMENT AND REINFORCE EACH OTHER.

NOBODY IS BETTER THAN ANYBODY, WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT, LET US WORK TOGETHER.

DONT DISAGREE WITH SOMEBODY JUST BECOS U WANT TO LOOK BETTER, BECOS THE CONSEQUENCES MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER PERSON THEIR LIFE.


IF THEY TOOK THIS THING SERIOUSLY, THEY COULD HAVE ENDED IT AND THOSE WHO DIED TODAY, WILL STILL BE AROUND.

so he should leave your Nigeria and go to other small Africa countries that is not up to two state in igboland abi? but you and like love Nigeria. He should stay and feel the heat until every useless igboman that is against Biafra begin to receive sense. nonsense

mktinsight:
This is the difference between governance by PR and real governance. A whole city of Onitsha where was the fire services?

Few lessons from this sad occurrence:

1) Ochanja Market was a disaster waiting to happen overflowing into the street without control. This government has made absolutely no attempt to curtail the ridiculous street trading and roadside trading and enforce standards on markets. Today Ochanja, tommorow Eke Awka or Afor Igwe. The markets of the state are totally out of control and lawless because of a useless government. Large markets in the state should be walled off from major roads or setbacks enforced of at least 10m. Markets are supposed to have water supply but do they? Instead its every dick and harry trading like an idiot and creating chaos and confusion.

2) Fire Codes - I recall a thread I wrote many moons ago saying that Anambra State Government Fire Agency should enforce fire extinguishers in ALL multi-tenant commercial buildings. Hospitals, Shopping Plazas should have large fire extinguishers among other things and instead of sitting idle and eating pepper soup the fire service should earn their pay by issuing fire compliance certification and inspect buildings and raise awareness. Again ANSG failed.

Dude,
Who told you i love Nigeria? Why should I love a country that treats me like an animal and my homeland as a foreign territory to be exploited but not developed? To begin with, I HATE NIGERIA!

If it was up to Nigeria, they would totally ruin INNOSON simply because he is Igbo. They have tried several times and WILL STILL TRY AGAIN!

Any Igboman dreaming about his products being bought by Hausa/Fulanis should WAKE UP! They would rather buy Hyundai or Kantanka cars from Ghana than patronize a Nigerian of Igbo origin. We already know and have seen their venom against Igbo owned businesses. The same FG that promoted Peugeot as Nigeria's car and mandated ALL federal parastatals to buy Peugeot will not even buy INNOSON except Nigerians complain loudly?

Igbo businesses should target SE, SS, NC and some moderate SW state governments. After that, simply go to another African country and build a smaller assembly plant and EXPORT to the rest of Africa from there. If you try exporting from Nigeria, they will use all sorts of duties and levies to frustrate you. Other African countries will be glad to support you to build in their country, create employment and give them some tax revenue when exporting from their country. The economics IS SIMPLE. Any Igbo business large enough like INNOSON to be noticed by the Fulani overlords of Nigeria already know they are targeted for destruction. INNOSON totally included in their evil agenda.

For those idiots that alleged that Okwute did not buy any fire fighting vehicle, these pictures below says it all. They should ask Willie for the whereabouts of the vehicles.

globemoney:

Obiano has really caused inferiority complex in the camp of these Peter Obi rats. What has posting this got to do? Should I also show you pics of the ones purchased by Obiano? We are talking about emergency management and you are showing pics of peter handing over fire fighting trucks.
No matter how restless Obiano’s towering achievements has driven you lots and your paymaster, after every said and done, Obiano will always end as a far better Governor than Obi. Facts

I think its time for Anambra Govt to come up with a dev plan for onitsha and Nnewi. Something like a dev authorities for these cities like was done for Awka. I believe this fire incident would have been better managed if it happened in Awka because it’s the base of the fire service but Anambra unlike other states has 3 major cities which require great attention!
Time for govt to create an onitsha and Nnewi development authority like was done for Awka

weownlagos:
[s][/s]Young man you have been noticed. Now run along and celebrate with your fellow kids

mktinsight:


They have development authorities for Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi but they are not properly funded or managed. Ideally, the government should run all city-specific urban planning, infrastructure (roads, street lighting, water, sewage,erosion, power, fire) projects through these agencies and properly fund them with sufficient capital to achieve specific goals with annual audited and published reports.

Heads of these agencies should be infrastructure experts and not regular civil servants and do not even have to be Anambrarians or even Nigerians because as project-based agencies it will get the state out of the rot of laziness, nepotism, budget padding and preferential treatment of politicians. These authorities should have a multi-year workplan that transcends each administraton and supplementary funding should be funneled from development agencies like the World Bank, EU and others.

Cities are the economic engine of any civilization and Anambra should strive to develop its own to world class standards. With time, every city in the state with a population > 500,000 should have an urban development agency to focus resources on.
