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

This incident is sending a disturbing pictures about what is likely to happen by the time the federal government finish the AKK gas pipeline from the south to Kano.

Gas is very flammable.

Has the federal government under Buhari thought about the dangers of extending gas pipeline to the north?

They should not be thinking about only the economic benefit.

What about the safety aspect?

Nigeria is a country that is filled with a lot of hungry vandals who are looking for money by all means.

Have the federal government thought about the reality of vandals breaking into the AKK gas pipeline with the intention of stealing gas or the equipment that was laid underground.

Nigeria is quite a funny country.

Nigeria is not europe where russians can lay gas pipeline from russia to Turkey, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria.

The northern regional economic interest must not be allowed to supercedes the safety needs of people who live around gas lines areas.

Too many sad stories these days. Early morning gas explosion? What may have activated it? May be a substandard cylinder.

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.

It's sad! We,the government, are the problem. There is a pipe running through back of diamond estate ISHERI to Ikeja. The whole lane was a green belt - canal with trees and shrubs. These dckheads have bought up all the lands there and are building on the pipeline. You just wonder, what's fundamentally wrong with these people? How do you buy land at such a place? The whole area smells of petrol. The pipes are old and leaky.

The dckheads aren't poor folks looking for a cheap land to setup shacks.. These are the rich. They building residential apartments there; I guess for let.

Wouldn't it have been nice if we used that whole green corridor as a lane for joggers, stretching from Ikeja to where ever it ends?

Nothing to argue about this, imagine you call the rescue team and you told them Ayobo Ipaja.

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

chival:

It is really bothersome. We actually have two of them right on the same neighbourhood.
