Fuel+Boom+Lagos
Took this picture on my phone in Lagos, some time.jpg)
in October 2007. I was frightened!
Ikorodu road at the Alaka Estate point.
Tanker capsized while descending the bridge spilling tonnes of diesel.
People scrambling for the liquid.
Is it poverty?
Ignorance?
Or plain stupidity?
Anyway, about a month after this, annother tanker this time carrying petrol fell over at close to this same point. People died.
You'd think lessons would be learnt?
Nope.
Another month later, scores of people died from scooping fuel from a burst pipeline in the same Lagos.
Conclusion,
We have a problem.
Serious problem.
