I see people shouting it's due to lack of power supply. Wonder why we blame everything on the government when we can actually use common sense to avoid such situation. Lack of power supply is not a problem that started yesterday.

Nigerians love short cut to everything. What does it cost to completely put off d Gen before refueling ?I wonder when pple will learn to do things correctly..

So sad. But if there was constant power supply....

Spaxcetiger People don't listen, they don't always listen. Off your gen before refueling. Now a lot pple have to pay the price! So sad!

Again🙄😩😢

🙊😳

Market fires everywhere. Dis has happnd consistently for 8yrs now. Everybody complains for a while and go back to their normal lives. Nothing is done. We just wait for next year's episode. Where are the market unions dat collect dues? Where is d local govt? Where is d Government?

Government problem. Why not give them the power supply you promised them during your campaign

Wot a tragedy😔

The ppl quenching the fire are in danger than the building itself

Carelessness, how will u refuel a gen that is still on?

Nigeria and power issues has claimed so much lives and properties.

Subhanallah 😥

Why not put off the generator before refueling? What wrong with people!

Is that our Fire Truck?

What was the cause of this o🙆‍♂️
