Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, yesterday visited the site of the boxing day firecracker explosion that razed about 15 buildings and killed an 11 year old boy.
Fashola said he plans to punish the owner of the store on Oko Awo street where the fire crackers were stored.
“In order to make quick business, we have lost a life, we lost property and all of us are in danger. All of these items are under one form of prohibition or the other
and we have men and women at our various entry and exit points. How did they get in? How
did they enter? Who imported them and who cleared
them? Who approved them to come in. Those are very serious issues we
must also ask ourselves" Fashola said
Lagos state is one of the states that has banned the use of fire
crackers
Hmmm, ghen ghen!!!! action movie part one. I think Fashola should bring jack bauber into this matter...hehehe

Ride on governor mii! BRF toh quality!
ReplyDeleteLol@ Miss Ravishing!! Na banger be fire cracker o.... 'Covered Face'
Delete@ravishing u can call it banga as it popularly known or knockout
ReplyDeleteAfi Jack Bauber no...LMAO
ReplyDeleteAfi Jack Bauber no...LMAO
ReplyDeleteMedicine after death....one disgusting thing about our leaders is dt when things like this happen, d federal govt (PDP) will point accusing finger at state (ACN or other parties) and vice versa. U can imagine Fashola, at dis stage trying to blame Customs and Ports Authorities for allowing d importation. Pls ask Fashola if he doesn't know dt Jankara fireworks market exist. Yesterday, the Irresponsible NEMA information officer was also blaming Fashola govt for not enforcing Town planning laws on the setback spaces btw houses and the mixing up of residential and commercial uses of land....surely, d NEMA guy is dumb bcos is there no mixed-uses of land? Surely, he was sent to say that. Let our Leaders learn how to take responsibility as they take the national cakes. God bless Naija.... Bjay for Naija
ReplyDeleteMiss fire crackersr nah banger.
ReplyDelete*na fire cracker I wan write.
ReplyDeleteBoy he sounds really angry, e reach to vex. Money comes before safety and lives.
ReplyDeletePeople are wicked despite the ban on the use of this thing they still went ahead to import, they should all be brought to book
ReplyDeleteFashola is asking all the right questions here, that's the path to follow Governor.
ReplyDeleteI hate fire crackers 2
ReplyDeleteI heard abt this incident yesterday, surprisingly I heard d cause of the explosion was not determined. Lets be sure that we r not being fed with the wrong info. I see this as a clear attempt to douse tension from what might be a bigger problem
ReplyDeleteDis same governor used fire crackers dat was very loud during the nigeria independence celebration, where dem buy am from. Was it not meant to be banned
ReplyDelete@miss ravishing, fire crackers are also known as 'bangers, knockout tinz".
ReplyDeleteMwhle the noise of thse knockouts de fear me die!!
firecrackers are knackout!!!
ReplyDeleteAsk Google @ miss Ravishing
ReplyDeleteThe owner of the Fire cracker can't be punish because Is doinG his bussiness.
ReplyDeleteRetard...its been banned,so its illegal.
DeleteMiss ravishing, fire crackers are populaly known as banger. Olodo
ReplyDeleteIt's an accident oga fashola, must you deal with every1?
ReplyDeleteThis knockouts were not smuggled into the country, they were brought in through our ports so if you wanna deal with any1 start from those who allowed them in.
We need action and not drama.
ReplyDeleteOko Awo street…In V.I?
ReplyDeleteFire cracker ruined my xmas dress while I was a little girl..some naughty boys threw them @ me ever since I hated that stuff.Fashola should deal with them!
ReplyDeleteAbeg we are not children to be told what to do, banger n other fire crackers(fire works) is tradition before I was born, fashola shudnt impose his own dislike on us, I'm sure he had a misrable childhood, who hate bangers reaLly?
ReplyDeleteStop being a dumb Fuck. Who told u pipo don't despise knockout?? Cos u played with it as a kid doesn't make it right.It gives some pipo hypertension if u don't know, aside that, with the security situation in the country, its not advisable to go around blowing knockouts.
Delete#Zubby#
Wait till banger blow up your hand, then we'll know whether you'll pass down the "tradition"!!! @miserableguy
DeleteMiss Ravishing fire crackers is Banger ooh.... I knw sey na dt one U̶̲̥̅̊ go undastd
ReplyDeleterubbish!!1 fire brigade approach. instead of us to manage risk, we r managing crisis.
ReplyDeleteOdiegwu! Is he now a Court house oor d law. Nigerian mentaality! U plan 2 deal wit dem! Mschew!!!

ReplyDeleteThe ppl on this blog r just hilarious,one said jack bauber should come,another said the picture is a million dollar picture lmao........you guys just made my day !!!!!
ReplyDeleteHehehe
Imagine, must they sell this thing during december festive period.
ReplyDeleteI support Fashola they deserve serious purnishment I heard bomb was among the goods also those people used to sneak bombs from China for selling.
ReplyDeleteMumu bomb kor
DeletePlease don't adverise your stupidity on this blog.. There was no bomb amongst the goods or did u see any. U can so thrive on them say them say. Ignoramous..
Delete#Zubby#
@talkfusion jack bauber!?!???!???!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a sad thing to happen to the victims. I'm in love with fire crackers during the xmas period but what I don't understand is why someone will store 3 trailers of the crackers in a residential area. It sholuld ave bin stored in a non residential warehouse. The owner shld be found and made to face justice.
ReplyDeleteWell I see beyond Fashola punishing the owner of the store but first dealing with the customs people who allowed the "bangers" to come in, then he should go and sponsor our fire fighters on how to fight fire......as in you point the water to the base of the fire not the top......laughing in idoma. Elaw
ReplyDeleteDear miss ravishing,it seems you have been utterly ravished by the comments here so next time,use google! Sad thing to happen tho,the owner should be dealt with
ReplyDeleteGovernor facial I beg u in d name of God it was a mistake pla forgive and forget,and pls don't band firecrackers ,fireworks or banger.
ReplyDeleteBand kor, drum ni
DeleteI always knew this was dangerous. This stuff nearly killed my friend.
ReplyDeleteMay the 11 year old boy who lost his life RIP.
ReplyDeletesad how he died right before 2013
Dis same silly gov asking silly ques spent ova 1,000,000 on fire crackers during eko games ohhh...hey man who imported dem..u had better serch ur sef b4 u jam talk mr gov
ReplyDeletehttp://bit.ly/TBNPt0
ReplyDeleteThose items are explosives that are harmful, there are good fireworks out there that can be shot in the sky to display pleasing and amusing reflects instead of the so called "Banger"
Seriously?! Lagos has banned fireworks? Since when?
ReplyDeleteHe reach to ask cos every dec\jan its firework season
ReplyDeleteMr governor go sit down...all d fire works dey used during d national sports festival hosted by Lagos whr did dey come 4rm? Yeye dey smell...mschew...beta bring urself 2 justice 1st
ReplyDeleteMs ravishing at least u dared to ask to honestly show ur unawareness.Unlike some I too knows... No be human brain like your own create google... See their paralysis mouth, ask google, na banger , na dis, na dat... Shame on the all of you that insulted her... English is not our first language,therefore learn to accomodate for excesses.
ReplyDeleteFor the issue at hand ... Little by little, Nigeria will get there,whereby corruption that causes loss of lives and properties,will be checked immediately. May the boys soul RIP. If banger is prohhibited,There should be provision for exceptions and I'm sure there are authorizations on its use in certain circumstances.In that case anyone found going against these shd be liable.
