How many of us remembered the tragedy that occured fifteen years ago; 27th January, 2002, when the armoury at the Army barrack in Ikeja went on flame.
Many lives were lost and injured; may God keep Nigeria.

yea yea

Memory,
Sad one at that
May the soul of the deceaseds continue to RIP

too many kids on nairaland, they can never remember, many of them who were even born then never knew their right from their left with feeding bottles in their mouth.

na so sum ppl go cum here dey shout"yes...an unforgetable memory...woow...its been Long ooo....fifteen years don reach so"


meanwhile na dat tym their sperm begin dey work for their mama womb shaa....lynus titulie

First I thought it was pre-rain thunder which was a bit odd because it was a January and the day was clear. Then when we saw the way the Windows were clattering with each rumbling sound then we knew something was going on. Shortly after my dad called from Abuja and told us that bombs are going off in ikeja and there was tension everywhere. It was until we switched on the gen and watched tv that we got to know the severity the damage. Those people just died needless deaths due to fear of the unknown. Over 700 people, I don't think whe had a greater tragedy till the plane crashes of 2004.

70% died plunging into the Oke-Afa canal.
We should be safety cautious and see where the harm is from rather than confronting the harm headlong. May God comfort all the families affected.

This is part of what history of Nigeria supposed teach us..
