MILE 1 market, the biggest market in PH is currently on FIRE.....So sad
why do popular markets usually experience fire outbreaks during xmas? Popular beliefs say its juju, especially from those who didn't meet up during the year.
All i know is that there are too many fire outbreaks during xmas period and insurance firms are not investigating this trend so it will go on.....
I pray no one was hurt sha
Ritual tyns dem don cum again dis year. Y is it dat every year ending a popular market wud burn. There is no smoke witout fire. God help us
ReplyDeleteSterra, no let Europe deceive u o! Insurance for Nigeria na Akawo business. I'm still fighting to collect some of my claims with a promenient insurance. Company. And to think that Fire service HQs is just behind Mile 1. Can't imagine the loss for traders who must have stocked up goods for xmas sales. May God comfort them
DeletePlease how is it ritual? I dnt know, please tell me
DeleteThis is very sad.
DeleteChristmas is just few days by the corner n dis?
I pity my country Nigeria.
No adequate measures to manage situations like this.
I can imagine market sellers wailing n som even imagining suicide.
God hav mercy on dem.
Lmaooo @ akawo business
DeleteI can bet anytyn on dis its sure juju. Ritual ppl.
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDelete@Galore
CHRISTMAS madam stella.
ReplyDeleteNot dat hard to write
Always shortening every word
It's also not hard to write "that" instead of "dat", be guided mate!
DeleteYeah right! You spell "that" as "dat", yet you're correcting another person.
DeleteThat's a short form ur so bush! Chai
Deleteomg! This is sad
ReplyDeleteSo sad!
DeleteChai! And that market is huge oh! I wonder what could have been the cause.
ReplyDeleteWhy juju? Why not an insurance scam?
ReplyDeleteStella its a seriouse thing oh was on my way there I had to turn back u could feel the heat from a distance
ReplyDeleteOh no ehm God pls help them all that re affected
Hmmmm! Na wa o. I don't want to believe it is rituals sha. I know that in my village, we normally experience a lot of bush burning this period too and my dad told me it is because of the harmattan, that fire spreads easily during harmattan period.
ReplyDeleteWickedness, it may be sabotage.
ReplyDeleteDry season... harmattan! Maybe...#justthinnking#. sadface
ReplyDeleteJeez!
ReplyDeleteMile 1 market! Is there any year this market doesn't get razed down? After the last major fire outbreak few yrs ago, they decided to build it with cement not the normal wood & zinc, now this? Ahhh! This is sad.
The 2storey building on fire in that photo is actually a residential building close to the market, but they have shops on the ground floor. God! See how some people have been rendered homeless.
OMG. Thank God I just opened this blog oooo. I was going to meet my friend in her shop there ooooo. Wetin this lady go do na?. Her goods just enter ooo. And her number no dey go sef.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a harmattan something. How come it's only mile one market that catches fire every Dec is it the only market in ph, I was born n bred in dt town n we know it's a ritual rich people do to exchange wealth of the poor n make them richer. .that market Def needs deliverance. .It usually happens at night wondering y ds yr is different. Mk una stop to de accuse harmattan oh jare. .
DeleteI wonder! No be harmattan. This Mile 1 market fire is just something else.
DeleteMy gf took a loan n imported lots of teens n toddlers wears. I was preparing to go pick some stuff for my almost 6ft child wen I heard the news. Abeg if u are in PH,which boutique caters for tall teens? I've gone to Teens n Tots in Rumuomasi,Cute Things in GRA etc. Make una helep me ooo. I don dey even chop her Xmas allowance oo
DeleteOnly God can help us oooooo. Pity those who were affected..
ReplyDeleteThis is painful..for all involved and their properties.
ReplyDeleteA sad way to begin the festive season.

ReplyDeleteThis is the time all those agbero around that Ikwerre Road will start stealing from people who are trying to save the little that didn't get burnt. Choi
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is truly awful and unbelievable. How can something like this happen? Its so devastating, especially for the traders with stores in the market.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I was in the market yesterday afternoon.
Na wa o!!!
I saw the fire this morning. A lot of people were crying. So many Igbo peeps wey leave their states in the east come hustle for PH own shops there & some don already plan how to raise money so they can go back to their states & spend christmas with family. What a sad christmas. Lord pls console them, Amen.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, not this market again?
ReplyDeleteIs this Onome in Orazi?
DeleteNot orazi onome, but still in ph
DeleteToo much juju.
ReplyDeleteNa so Jankara market too burn.

ReplyDeleteMy grandma used to say some of these market's executives might have embezzled money or are looking for a way to send people away so they can rebuild to ultramodern & make it more expensive e.g tejuosho & mile 2 in lagos
