It's just sad that Nigerians can burn their own property in addition to the ones they lost to the fire. Yes the fire station is their property since it's government owned.
What they should have done was to take their protest to the government house.

The firemen working at the station would still get paid their wages, same as the politicians in the LGA and State.

I am all for protesting against bad governance not burning tax payer's properties. At th end of the day, the cost of rebuilding that station would be passed on the masses in form of increased taxes or market levies.

When my cloths are wornout, i burn them because they are of no use anymore. Same Could be said of this.

This news is filled with lies. When and where was the fire station set on fire?

Yeah, the angry mob set to attack the station but they were quickly restrained by security operatives who shot into the crowd killing two people. This further infuriated the mob and they vandalized the station's properties.

The story that it was set on fire is a ruse. Check attached pics.

where is that guy who was insulting south east yesterday and bragged about south west? I laughed becus he is still covered by politics of tribalims which our leaders have used against us.

I keep saying it that bad leadership in Nigeria knows no region. It is a collective thing. Why? As long as the central govt failed, the entire states will fail as well. The country runs a unitary federalism. This indirectly means states are linked to the central govt activities.

The governors know this and they have been using it to their own advantage. They are mere ceremonial status

More pics of the vandalized station...

Which general public? Is the market not a general public?
A fire incident of the said magnitude occurred and the fire service was not put to use when it is most needed, what then is the use of the fire service?

Is it not better it is burnt down so people will know there is no such service available?

I don't support unruly behaviours but sometimes you can't just help it and in this case, they are right

yoruba's says Nigeria in moving forward when it occurs in onitsha

back2sender:

You lack sense.
A fire station that is 2 minutes to the market. If there is water in the trucks, it means the response time would have been very quick and this would have ameliorate the damage caused.
Response time is key but as usual, no water in the fire truck and the fire men all sit down daily in that office collecting salaries for nothing

Ur papa lack sense, Ur mama lack sense, The breadwinner of ur family lack sense, I REST MY CASE

Hypocrit:
Then is better they are burnt. How can you put none functional equipment in a place to serve as aids. They are waste, rubbish and are better destroyed than take unnecessary space and constitute nuisance.

I agree with you 100%, It’s a non-functional Station

AkpaMgbor:

And when another fire happens nko? And this is the same urchin that goes about nairaland littering everywhere with hate and tribalism..no wonder! Your likes have reasonings that are anomaly..here is someone encouraging arson and destruction of government property.. you all should be locked away in a dungeon and left to rot!

You sound pained and as such, i wont add to your problems.

babaolofin:


As at the time the fire was noticed by those around the market, the magnitude of the inferno could have been curtailed by one fire fighter truck. A fire fighter truck has no water and the station is located few distance to the market. Before trucks move from Ibadan through traffic to Ojoo, Akinyele enroute Oyo will the magnitude of the inferno not have escalated above two trucks? Those fire fighters are just collecting salary. No daily or weekly fire fighting exercise.

Seyi Makinde PR has just failed one KPI.

It’s not even few distance to the market, The fire station is in the market, Just not the side that got burnt.
I agree with you, he has indeed failed in that aspect

IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS AND DECISION

I'm not in support of such rash decision and I'm not in anyway encouraging such act, but believe me, if that fire should happen again, that truck will still not work.
three major fire incidents happened in Benin within the space of six months; none was contained by the state fire service as the fire successfully consumed everything in its part.


The truth is, those guys will never miss that fire truck

And that's exactly what the government want, so that they can allocate some millions to a new fire station. Fire dey burn, fire service no get better equipment because the government no give them wetin dem need, instead make we attack the government we dey attack the station. Like someone said 'Who did we offend' in this country

fredoooooo:

Ranka dede.... you too get sense

You need government aid, yet you're destroying government property! Hanging multiple load on the government. #BlackMan sha!!!

negative aggression

Makinde media team over to una

I am so happy that people are now aware that that governor has a formidable media team that accentuate his very little achievement.

That guy thrives on propaganda like mad!

Ryda:
Who did we offend na

See how people transferred aggression to property that is meant to be of use to the general public.
Why not march to the government house!

The fire station was near the market but it couldn't do anything because their equipment wasn't working. Yesterday and today the fire station is still as it is... useless.

Are you well at all? There's a misinformation being spread according to you and I'm asking to correct it since this thread is far too gone for others to see the "truth" here and you're saying that?

I don't understand

What is the duty of a Fire Fighter Station in the market? No regular fire fighting exercise. They are just there to collect salary. This incident will make Seyi Makinde to know there is a problem. The Fire people in his company are always doing Fire Fighting exercise. HSE policy of a company includes fire prevention and fighting. It is a waste to have a non functional fire station in the market.

All of us would have been focusing on the fire incident alone without meditating on the failed system.

How can a fire station be 20m away from the market? Then it doesnt need to be burnt as the market fire would extend there anyway.

All these bloggers shaa and their reportage...

titiloyeblog:

https://punchng.com/just-in-mob-sets-fire-station-ablaze-after-fire-guts-market-in-oyo/amp/

these are basic amenities, why is their state government giving 13th month salary rather than provide things that really matter. O fi ete sile, o lon pa lapalapa.

Fire station is 20 meter away from the market hmmm... �

Ryda:





See how you just supported unruly behaviour.
So burning down the fire station will bring back the burnt market?

You are wrong.

oga try to use ur bountiful sense na.

Am sure u re saying dis cuz you are simply not affected, if you were among the victims am sure you would lead the team to d station.

Eni ija oba lon pera e lokunrin ni oro e, shior.

Pls Wat is d use of a utility station dat is only 20meters away and yet couldn't provide help??

And BTW, Wat do you want dem to do at the govt house? to carry some placards??

The equipment that was burnt I think it belongs to Alaafin of Oyo abi?? mtcheew,

Audio meekness radarada.

toluism:
u can't understand.... Under such circumstance

Same property has failed to serve the public.... When a fire station( of close proximity to the market) gave a reason of not having water and the fire service had to come in from Ibadan and ogbomosho(different town.. not less than 1 hour drive).. to quench the fire..

Don't blame then...

Actually dat guy u quoted have sense but he's keeping it for future purposes, he doesn't want to use it for now.

Don’t be surprised that the fire station officials or oga’s have been paid not to attend to the fire. This is the tactics generally used by land grabbers who feel they need to resell a market. They send thugs to raze it down. Urgly trend across the country.

tstx:
Instead of taking their violence to the government they took it to an innocent building...


Nigerians are a funny breed.. Our stupidity should be studied in foreign universities

Taking de protest to which government again?Is fire service station a private individual resident?Dat is de right place to do de protest.Let government now come n explain to de whole world why such place is built for art exhibition n not to fight fire.You may be surprised dat money meant for equipping de station is somewhere lodged in an overseas banks by some government officials.

helinues:
And should there be another fire tomorrow

Backward reasoning

Dey wouldn't have still responded.So no need allowing it to remain there to give people false hope.

You have a reason but destroying public facilities drags you backwards into reoccurring expenditure.
And you don't need to destroy facilities before a responsible government. as that of Seyi Makinde intervenes.

Bro 2 wrongs can never make a right. A statement like yours led to the burning of the fire station.
