Again

While we blame God or the fire service or a bad person going round starting fires, let's not forget that our markets are a fire disaster waiting to happen. From planning to structural materials to generators everywhere, fuel everywhere, overcrowding...perfect recipe for a fire.

This fire outbreak has been a major challenge since 2019, and if care is not take many life and properties will be lost to it, proper investigation should be carried out, proper education give where necessary and adequate support given to victims too.

State govts need to set up cameras to monitor markets. These fires are questionable.

Fires in major markets across Southern states in the last couple of months. This reeks of arson... why has MBuhari not ordered an inquiry into this? Any caring & responsible president would have, or does he & his kinsmen know something we don't know? BOGbadamosi realFFK

Nigeria is on fire

This fire outbreak is becoming something else

Not again.

Fire all over Nigeria.

This is a deliberate attack on the south.

Ọzọ kwá? Na waooo

Somebody is behind this.

Investigations should be carried out to determine the causes of these continuous fire outbreaks in markets across Nigeria and predominantly occupied by igbos

Fire incidents in all big markets in the country since last quarter of 2019, is this a premeditated act bn performed by some people, if so what's the motive. This calls for serious attention.
