Pipeline Explosion Ruin Farms In Ibadan by Youngzedd(m): 5:15pm On Jun 16, 2013
TWO weeks after a pipeline explosion in Apata Area of Ibadan, another explosion has rocked Alapata community area in Ido Local government area of Oyo State.

According to an impeccable source, the vandalised pipeline went up in flames Saturday night.

Though, there was no casualty reported, Vanguard gathered that many farmlands were destroyed by the raging fire while streams in the area were contaminated by oil.

As at the time of filing this reports, Valve Pit was still burning with thick smoke oozing from the place.

Men of the anti-vandalisation squad of the NSCDC, the Police, NNPC team and SSS were at the scene.

More details soon.

Vandals now on rampage! I don't know why there can't be an effective policing of pipelines across the nation. It should be a case of a child who doesn't want her mother to sleep.

If government starts to make policies now and enforce laws on vandals. It will be the same Nairalanders that will start shouting 'laws is only for the poor', 'they are thieves too', 'clueless government' blah blah blah. How that one take concern anybody? whether they are corrupt or not, inasmuch as the law is not out of place, just obey them.
Most times we forget these laws are to safeguard us and bring sanity to the society at the end of the day.
Its not as if, politicians will be the one to have accidents when you are overspeeding, driving against traffic or hawking on highways. Now that pipelines are blowing up, does it affect the government in any strong way? I don't think so.
The problem in Nigeria right now is not policies and laws, the problem is citizens obeying them. But when Government decides to enforce the laws, we throw insults at them.

Sometimes i wonder if Nigerians really know what they want. Or maybe they are just clueless on how things work.

When there is a problem in Nigeria. The government should carry-out holistic solution. I knew that the vandals that were chased from Lagos will definitely look for a nearby pipeline to burst again. Lets government punished any offender irrespective of their status in the society.
