Ok, where do I start from? Hmm, I don’t know shaa but am feeling like am gonna keep this short. First, let’s say Happy new month guys, welcome to month of April. Yea, that reminds of April fool, prank of those days. Actually my colleague in the office tried playing games with me, you know naa April fool stuffs but failed. My head is there, saw some kids prank their fellow classmates in the morning on my way to work so I can’t be caught unawares. Guess what,I will be posting my last year Anambra Rebirth project on April Fool short story contest.
Ok, enough of games. It’s time for the real deal, my country my people. Few days, there was a fire outbreak in Onitsha main market that started early in the morning till day break. It got a lot of people’s goods and properties damaged, in this bad economy yet nobody knows the cause of the fire incident. Thank God fire service intervened and contained the fire tho not early enough considering the time the fire broke out, allegedly by the people who lived around the area. Nevertheless, i must acknowledge the firefighters who responded to this emergency regardless of personal or political issues in the country. That being said, let’s drive my point home.

Consequences of this incident, the aftermath for both the government and the victims of this tragedy. This is not the first time we’ve had fire incident in the country especially my state. Like am beginning to feel is now a yearly thing. If it’s not a market place, it’s another business area or a public place. Like what’s going, is there something we’re not getting? Everyone is on the losing end if something is not done so why is the government not pushing too hard to curb the situation the way they do with other stuffs like tax.

Yea, I get it. Am not saying they aren’t doing anything anyway, am not even a news person to know right? But if they’re really pushing hard as they thought they’re , it will definitely be everywhere in our faces, like you can’t walk by a street without the news slipping into your ears as if you asked for it. Yes na, you know what am talking about.
Just imagine, the trauma those victims are experiencing right now, the unrecoverable properties and monetary losses that was made. How will they cope, heard some people did new offload worth of millions that same week before this incident. How are they to meet up if they aren’t backed up by insurance which i know most of them are not.
In short, the awareness and the procedures aren’t enough. The government should feed us something good to talk about. Things like these should send words to the streets like other trending policies. Applicable measures should be taken to adhere to existing regulations concerning this matter.
No much talk shaa, That’s all for now.
Bye
