I was there. I was even the first to create a thread on it @4:am but it didn't hit the front page. The fire was 8 much. It affected the new ultra market building a little. People that sells along Sangana were happy cos it didn't affect them much. You should the stores by Ikwerre Road....ashes. Mile 1 market catches fire almost every year. Many people are saying that ritualists sends the fire spiritually. Naija likes ameboism sha. The government can't even understand the importance of the fire service. The fire came in by 3am and while people living around there were busy packing xmas gifts from the unaffected areas at that time, the fire service didn't show up. Which way Nigeria? |

Re: Mile1 Market In Port Harcourt On Fire by redsquare(m): 11:48am On Dec 17, 2013 |
The whole mile 1 market is razed down except the few new blocks of stalls in the market. Properties worth hundreds of millions of naira destroyed. My office is just 3 blocks away from the market. I learnt the incidence started in the wee hours of the morning. You need to see the affected victims to understand the extent of damage/loss. My heart goes out to the affected traders who means of livelihood went up in flames. I pray God to comfort and provide for them and their family at this trying moment. This is also a wake-up call to the Rivers State govt to equip its fire service. I was really embarrased seeing fire fighters with outdated equipment trying to quench the fire. 1 Like |

This will soon be linked to GEJ and Bipi for causing chaos in rivers state. |

This mile one market keeps burning almost every year. I wonder why. |
Re: Mile1 Market In Port Harcourt On Fire by vivavik(f): 1:27pm On Dec 17, 2013 |
What this miserable govt is after is thr selfish interest. Both the federal, state and local govt is the same, all of thm, Amaechi, GEJ, tinubu, buhari and co are all birds of same feather. May God 4give us. I'm not happy wt this news @ all. |

With the kind of money coming to Rivers state, Ameachi is just a Good Governor on papers, few standard roads, no new modern markets, no good motor park and bus stops, people build houses and stores any how, No city expansion, no new established roads, The link road b/w Woji and peter Odili road has not been finished for 2 years now for a less than 3 kilometer road, no body is controlling any body, its " do things the way you like" in Rivers state...The worst state I have ever lived in..... 1 Like |

You know something funny and annoying as hell. Rivers State Fire Service Headquarters is very close to the market like 5 & 6.[b][/b] |

CHESSBOARD: With the kind of money coming to Rivers state, Ameachi is just a Good Governor on papers, few standard roads, no new modern markets, no good motor park and bus stops, people build houses and stores any how, No city expansion, no new established roads, The link road b/w Woji and peter Odili road has not been finished for 2 years now for a less than 3 kilometer road, no body is controlling any body, its " do things the way you like" in Rivers state...The worst state I have ever lived in..... Chessboard.. Its one thing not to support Amaechi, its another thing to lie against Amaechi. Few Good Roads?! REALLY?! Name the few.. The only place that can say Amaechi has not reached them is Obigbo.. Even the Woji Road that people used to always talk about forgetting the politics involved is under construction.. Trans Amadi road as well is now being worked on. No New Mordern Markets?! Then what will you call the New Mile One market?! No Good Motor Parks?! Mba.. Go and see the Motor Parks he built from scratch at both the Airport & the Eleme. See the Tanker Stop also being built at Eleme. Mile 3 Park has also been redone. Bustops!! Bustops!!! Dont even go there. People build houses and stores anyhow because Rivers State is mostly community lands. Thats the problem. Local Governments and Community leaders just sell lands anyhow they like.. Thats why he decided to do a city Expansion. YES!! He is expanding Port-Harcourt.. Have you heard of the Greater Port-Harcourt project?! Its real.. Try and lay your hands on the mad of the one near the Airport. I saw the place from the sky in a plane and was amazed. The Link Road between Woji And Odili is at approx. 90% completion. I can see the darn thing from my house sef. I can agree that Rivers State is not really the best place to live in Nigeria and is a disappointment as far as citties go, but it is not Amaechis fault, it is the RIvers Mans mentality that is killing the state.. |

Clattering sounds n gun shot sounds woke me up around 3 a.m. I heard my neighbours wispering in agony, then i saw dis huge light thru my room window. It was like hell fire. Am still shocked ,its so tragic. My neighbour's brother was affected. See grown up men weeping like kids , its so painful. He lost everything. He stocked his shop with new goods for xmas season,most of the goods was on credit hoping to make extra sales. His wife just gave birth. O o i believe God have greater plans for those affected. Its nt d end of d world. Whatever caused d fire disaster,God knows it all. |

Smugglers hide fire arms in the market, it is common knowledge, once the market is on fire, you will definitely hear gun shots and explosives, Ask yourself, where in Nigeria is immune to police invasion? ans; Market. Smart smugglers, thieves, cultists etc store fire arms in the market. |
