Asaba is closer to Onitsha than the state capital Awka and Nnewi too, so I guess that was why fire service came from Asaba...but then that's not an excuse Onitsha is a bigger city and should have nothing less than three fire service stations

That guy placing his camera so close to that charred corpse just to snap it,is so revoltingly sickening.
Those are the kinds of people you don't pity when similar faith befall them.

No I think he is saying something and he is recording it, may be leaving a message to family members or loved ones, my thoughts anyway

LONGPREEK:

I said it.. The hatred is real, stop pretending like you care, there are probably worse pple than me that died in that fire.

Savagedawg:

You read it in the media, this people are liars and biased. Two of my shops were burnt to ashes. Don't believe everything you see in Nigerian media. I have two shops in Angel plaza that were burnt

Chai,,take heart,,hope u will come out stronger,2 shops getting burnt no be here o

Akurakambe:
Willie Obiano has to explain to Anambrarians why it was fire fighters from Asaba that were able to quench a fire outbreak that occurred in Onitsha.

Obiano failure is legendary

.....He is trying buh he need to sit up

there's no good road in anambra today

Oh my God. Rip to the dead

vico4u:
I know obiano and his soon to crumble apga together with their silly senators like the one from nnewi have nothing to offer anambra people. They only have prompt salaries and pensions, as well as expired anambra rice and sirens to disturb our peace. Its high time ndi anambra vote out all these under performing and leaders and show them the way back to wherever they came from.

Imagine that clown from nnewi, couldn't get the federal government to fix the landslide at 100 foot road at nnewi for over 7 months now since he was sworn in and he still calls himself a senator.

Potbellied and horrible looking leaders, that's why the north is better, they know how to use their voters card.

Here the igbos collect 500 and vote in idiots as their leaders later they will come to nairaland and talk nonsense.

Ndi Igbo, get some sense and free yourself from political terrorism.

God will help us

Anambralstson:





Some people are trying so hard to be mischievous with the incident, this is the same fire service that manages to control fire inferno across the State, some times accident is beyond our control, it happens in every state and country, Anambra State have fire stations across the cities, I'm aware Onitsha has two fire centers, Awka two, Nnewi one, actually I don't know what prevented Okpoko station not to get there on time because the station is not far from the place the incident happened, those calling Gov Obiano are just being silly and mischievous, trying to play politics with the incident, many inferno controlled by Anambra fire service has graced front page several times
Below is one of the thread, you can open it, it just most of them have low memory to remember

May the souls of those that lost their lives rest in peace

Bro have been seeing your post here, you definitely work for the government. This is very sad and extraordinary surprising that such and incident can happen in Anambra, someone need to take a fall for this. An example must be made

Fuckthamods:

I said it.. The hatred is real, stop pretending like you care,

You're the symbol of hate here. You didn't even sympathise, you just went on ranting about some people who are your imaginary enemies.

there are probably worse pple than me that died in that fire.

We didn't know that about them. But you, we could see it

Very painful

KIDfurniture:
I feel sorry for Nigerians... you die like cockroaches....if you die poor in Nigeria ..hell fire is sure.. tankers dont move here until 9pm ..why are Nigerians cursed ?

Your Being in the U.S, Europe, Asia or Whatever... does not Save u from a Horrible or Horrendous death. Infact worse deaths comes from where u located today... No place or location is safe today!

What u need do is to Live Prepared... Accept JESUS CHRIST! If Death comes , you Make Heaven..

Make a wise decision!

uuzba:

When they are running to scoop and you refuse to follow them, they will say you are not sharp.
1 or more persons who successfully scoop, will return smiling mischievously as a great achievement.

There is nothing I fear more than another Nigerian, smiling mischievously.
99% of the time, he/she has engaged in a nasty activity that will later backfire and cause havoc to everyone.

True.

The rip with the crying emoji was for your head abi? I'm not like you people.

If the state and local government where this happened don't pay heavily on this great lost and damages may amadioha, thunder, lightening, earthquake, storms and the likes destroy all so called humaniyrian lawyers in this country

MARKone:
Camera men and women, God! Must they snap

I tire ooo

Everything is still burning. up till this moment,11:23pm fire service never show

johnpablo541:


There is a fire station at Onitsha.

It was reported that they actually responded but their pumps refused to work so they had to go back to fix it

This is a joking statement right?

Anambralstson, the fire razed for hours without any fire service coming to make any effort.

There is no excuse for failure.

Development is not only about posting flashy pictures upandan o.

Some realities like this show us how far we have progressed. No matter what, fire service should have shown up on time.

Crude oil is a shame for Nigeria

This is horrofful

Look at!!!
Can't they at least put off this little fire before taking pictures?
Who do us like to his God?

Onitsha nke anyi a ka ihe ninea mesiri? Jesus ! i never see this kind of calamity and pain....why always my people [Biafrans] ?..The evil day are awaiting to fall on our so called leaders starting from BUBU to the least of all the Nigerian leaders.Nigerian leaders will never go unpunished for all these negligence towards the life of the poor masses.

That's not true, loaded fuel are transported during the day time in other countries too

Why una never blame Buhari.
