Photos: Fire incident at Ogunpa Market in Ibadan leaves traders in anguish

Aww, you can feel their sorrow just looking at the pics. A fire incident at popular Labaowo Market,  Ogunpa in Ibadan, Oyo State, has left traders in anguish after a section of the market was ravaged by fire. Many traders lost all their wares as there was not much that could be done to salvage some of their belongings. They gathered and wailed uncontrollably as fire engulfed their means of livelihood.

The market went up in flames around 10am after an inflammable product caught fire. Millions of Naira was lost in the fire. See some photos after the cut...

For the best typing experience only one brand does it the best. That brand is BlackBerry.
BlackBerry. Nobody likes a typo.The phone feels like it will be perfect for people like me: People who need their phones to do a lot of work, a lot of email, a lot of reading, and a lot of business stuff like PDFs. If iPhone and Android are socialmedia tools, then the Passport is a workproductivity tool

Linda this is the kind of Charity you should donate money to.and not (Ka ri mi) show off Ebola) The 1 Miilluon towards Ebola to me was for publicity My Dear. Perhaps if you had contributed the money months ago, it would have been understandable. Quit being in your face and help anonymously. That is more sincere charity than the one you announced for the whole world to know that you have arrived or to bring more traffic to your site, I got news for you, people before you like Bellanaija and others like Seyi of Naijaland forum did their charity anonymous reason for their longevity. I'm not hating and if anyone including yourself feels so, that is fine. But remember that everything that if the drum is beating too loud, the drum is just about to burst. I do not wish you that but you have to stop being in your face and be thankful for the blessings with your family.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. We all need to be more careful with the way we handle things as we enter dry season
Extra care must be taken on all issues that has to do with electricity & light.
Also of great importance is insurance of all our properties. The cost is nothing compared to what we stand to gain. If there is insurance we will not lose everything as against the situation where there is no insurance at all. May God protect us all. Toks

This is the people that needed that 1 million Naira that you gave towards Ebola that would have been useful months ago in Nigeria. Be a silent donor and stop looking for praise from people that cannot even stand your guts. God said it in Matthew Chapter 4 Verse 1-6 that “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. I have nothing against you giving your money out to whatever that pleases you but all I'm saying is that it would be better to give to those who really needed it than giving towards a cause that no one knows if it will be given to benefit that cause as most Nigerians Charities were for personal enrichment of the Organizer. Sorry, no pun intended towards genuine Charity Organization out there. Linda, you are becoming too loud with your given and God didn't like a loud giver. If you like, you may not post my comment but at least either you or whoever post comments must have read it. Please be wise as no one is exempt from falling from grace to grass.
