Yes ooh
It's an everyday event now..
People lose their life's, properties are burned but yet nothing is done about it

Broda nothing can be done about this. Pple should take simple guidelines and preventive measures. Imagine wer a gas plant is located.

How were you able to escape?



A lot has gone now bot lives and properties





One of my friends is even affected






Very terrible and terrifying
Moment




I'm still there at moment

chival:
It happened just behind my home. I was terrified. I have always had concerns about that particular gas plant(Bestroof Gas). May God comfort the bereaved and heal the injured.

Demmtek:
When they we ask our People to Survey, Chart land before buying they turn deaf and dump, this would have been avoided if the government have enforce a task force or some kinda penalty for People building lands besides, pipelines, powerlines, we are our own problem, there are guidelines, rules already governing offset away from this pipelines but our People choose to build ontop or near it,
Always consult a Surveyor to Avoid this kinda Environmental calamity in near future.

You sure sey you read the write-up?
How is it a pipeline or Powerline issue?
And who told you that houses are not erected around pipelines?
You are only not allowed to erect on pipeline, you can erect with proper setback around it.
Pipelines passes through residential areas, nothing will happen to it nor the neighbourhood, except for the issue of vandalism that causes damages and results to a catastrophic event.

Gas plants shouldn't be near houses

I wonder where the regulator is,? Why do we have filling stations, gas plants and other hazardous stuff like this in residential areas. At the end of the day we'll blame Satan for the mishap.

In Nigeria we have gas refill plants right inside residential layouts, no thought for safety.

Me sef was there when it happened with my Girlfriend...

Na cooking gas?

teargas

It's crazy .. people severally burnt beyound recognition...

majamajic:
This kin news report , was it home gas , gas filling station , gas tanker or gas pipeline , nothing mentioned

teargas

Corruption is the cause of our calamity in Nigeria.

I wonder why License is being given to individuals to operate Gas plants and other Petroleum products in between residential areas.

Is it because the people saddle with the responsibility of certifying companies to operate such businesses are into the same line of business as well as other individuals ? Or they just allow this unsafe Condition because of Money?

We have bigger problems in this country.
I pray the Almighty forgive us and direct us.

I feel it's greed from the buyer and sellers, on a norm dis station are not meant to be in residential area

Aameen. Too many Gas Station close to where people are living. Nigeria government has failed in many ways.

[quote author=9gerian post=94720997]No environmental impact assessment done most times...

... usually rigged for a fee. Egunje things. How do you think public servants become so rich? Salaries, bonuses, estacode,?? Hell, no. This is the consequence of a rigged EIA report. One dead, blood on the officials' heads.

A gas plant where cooking gas is refilled and sold.

Bola146:

Some people who reside close to the gas plant lost their lives. It's a sad day.

Aameen. Too many Gas Station close to where people are living. Nigeria government has failed in many ways.

DPR has guildline of setting up a gas stations.
I'm aware that any gas station should not be sited at residential. But it's you and I that regulate this guideline . the moment money change hand , the enforcement of guideline would be overlooked and people start operate the way they like.
Look at most of filling station , they are all located at residential area.
We should ready to bear the consequence of our actions
