Nigeria: 100 Die in Lagos Explosion - Leadership

No fewer than 100 people, including two school children, were in the early hours of yesterday killed by a fire incident which erupted from a pipeline at Ijagun, Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, razing down several houses, including a secondary school.

i really think Soji should clarify his facts before uploading on site. assumptions are costly especially when they are not complimentary. I live in Alimoso local government where the fire broke out yesterday and i am also a journalist with one of the leading national dailies in Nigeria, whose name i want to be silent on. There was no deliberate human vandalisation on the pipeline that caught fire yesterday as the paragraph 2 of Soji's story implies. it was purely an escavator's accident and truly the fire raged on till about 7pm yesterday 15th May. I will that factual errors especially those that do not portray the country, a body or even an individual in good light should be seriously avoided. People should be able to believe every word of the news.

This vandalism is not an unusual occurence. Has the government learned anything from this and has the government made any plan in the past to protect the citizens from a repetition of such an incident? The answer is very likely 'NO'. There seems to be no 'will' and few months down the road, it will be repeated again. IT IS ONLY WHERE THERE IS NO WILL THAT THERE IS NO WAY OUT!
