Fire destroys 20 vehicles, 10 shops at Owode Onirin market in Lagos

On Monday night, July 29th, fire swept through Owode Onirin, the popular auto parts market near Ikorodu destroying over 20 vehicles, 10 shops and belongings worth millions of naira.

Also destroyed were buses, bonnets, vehicle engines and cash kept in some shops. The inferno, which destroyed Line M of the market, started around 9:30pm as some residents said they saw flames and heard sounds, which forced them to run for safety.

They said they later got water to put out the fire. A business owner in the market, Mr. Wasiu Bello, alleged that the fire was caused by the carelessness of a food seller, who left a burning coal in her shop. Bello lost his shop and belongings to the inferno. He alleged that the fire started from the food seller’s shop. He said he lost some vehicles to the fire, a bonnet worth N1.2 million that had been sold, but yet to be taken away by the buyer.

Another victim, Olamilekan Semiu, alleged that the night guards had not been performing their duties efficiently.

“If they are efficient, they ought to have noticed the fire before it became wild, ” he added.

Semiu urged the community’s leaders to take steps to prevent a recurrence. “New guards should be employed and a security house built close to the line to ensure observation of the vicinity. We will enact a rule that no food seller will be allowed to own shops in the market, because nothing else could have wreaked this havoc if not for their fire,” he said.

An eyewitness accused the Lagos State Fire Service of late response to the emergency call. “They put out the fire at about 11:30pm after using a full water tank,” he said.

Lilian Esoro writes on success

Lilian Esoro shared highlights from a recent conversation she had which centered on failure and success.

The Nollywood actress noted that there is no formula for success as she advised people to see failure as a blessing in disguise and a lesson to learn and grow from.

Lilian Esoro wrote on Instagram;

I was having a discussion the other day, and somehow we got talking about success and how to sustain and handle certain

 situations. And I said there really isn’t any formula for success! It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. They go huh? I’m like that’s the problem.... You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. See failures as a blessing in disguise, a lesson you learn n grow from. It’s your decision at the end of the day. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes.

Make all you can. Because remember it’s in the failures and mistakes you find success.
