It was a nightmare for the dwellers of Awori,abule egba Lagos State Nigeria.a nightmare I can never forget,the incident of December 26 -2006 will continue to linger in our memories.
It happened the eve of Christmas 25 of 2006, some notorious pipeline breaker came to break the lines that pass petrol across that area. Due to the situation of the country as at then, scarcity of fuel was order of the day.
After their operation at the pipeline after the extraction of petroleum to their taste ,they left the pipeline Leaking as this got to the notices of inhabitants in the surrounding of the pipeline in the morning ,the clueless and unconcerned inhabitants of Abule Egba in Lagos State, overhead the pipeline that carried petroleum products was a constant reminder of the valuable national resource that had somehow failed to transform their lives. Some resented it, and some decided to do something about it,by calling the police men and other choose to extract fuel with available containers .some hours later the pipeline was crowded with people ready to take for themselves the petroleum.

After some many hours of struggle for petroleum by the inhabitants of this area, It was said that mobile phone vibration caused the terrific fire 💥 explosion. This explosion was a Catastrophic one that took the life 500 hundreds people instantly burning them up alive, leaving many injured.
A friend of mine Friday was a Victim of circumstances that faithful day, he was burn by the fire that all his skin from his head fell to his foot he was not like an albino. The health facilities in Nigeria a developing country was not enough to arrest and take care of the situation , Friday with his condition struggling himself to get home we rushed him to hospital but non give attention to us, we went about five hospital before Friday gave up the ghost.
Maybe if he was admitted that day he might still survive it to tell the tale. Since the death cannot tell the tale I choose to write about Friday, may his soul rest in peace.
May the souls of those who lose their life's in the explosion of 2006 in Abule egba Lagos rest in peace. Amen .
To be on a saver side ,government should enable law that will enforce quick attention to accident victim brought to the hospital on emergency .to reduce death rate generally and that of accident viticms as a whole.
