This is not the country everybody wants to live in. This is not the country of our dreams. It’s just ridiculous. Where do people start from? Lives have been lost. Can they be gained back? They cannot. Everybody woke up yesterday, thinking this is 2024.informationguidenigeria

“This is January for goodness sake. Is this how we are going to start the year? How many more of such do we have in other neighbourhoods that we are not even sure of? I’m tired.”
Responding to a question on illegal miners living in the estate, Salami said, “I’m not aware. That’s what we’re hearing that investigation would commence, and the truth would actually be revealed. But it’s so sad. It’s a reflection of the Nigeria of today.
“There is no safety, there is no safety. People are being kidnapped in their homes. People cannot travel because they are being kidnapped. People sleeping in their homes are being bombed. For goodness sake, what’s going on in this place?”JAMB Result
On the magnitude of damage suffered by him as a result of the explosion, Salami said, “Everything is gone, everything. The whole house is gone. All the vehicles, all the properties, everything is gone. In fact, this whole area, all the houses would have to be demolished. Every single house must be demolished because their structural defects are evident; there are cracks everywhere. Everything has to be demolished and probably rebuilt. You’re talking about billions here.”NYSC Portal
Another resident in the area, who simply identified himself as Apa, debunked the news that illegal mining was the cause of the explosion. Apa said, “When I called my neighbour, Dada, he said, “You remember those Malians? There must be equipment they’re using for doing their mining work that must have exploded, and that equipment is not a cheap material. It’s something that’s very heavy.
“If the explosion had happened in Odogbo barracks, then one would say, yes, they have all sorts of things there. But here, it’s very wrong. That thing is not supposed to be kept in this type of environment. And wherever such equipment is kept, it must be under-regulated humidity. Maybe the temperature would have triggered it, and that’s my own suspicion.

It’s miners that live here that brought the equipment and they are Malians.
“This is a lesson for the Nigerian government to decide whether we still want to keep such people in our country. Malians do a lot of things apart from this, they cause a lot of havoc. so the government should start thinking about what to do about them, and if you find out they don’t have documents to live in this country.”
