A significant fire broke out at a UBA bank branch on Lagos Island has ignited a wave of public outrage, with many Nigerians demanding to know why the country lacks adequate emergency services. Among the critics is Oba Young OG Pino, the CEO of Gossip Mill Nigeria, who didn’t hold back his frustration over the government’s negligence.

Oba Young OG Pino Calls Out Nigerian Leaders

In a passionate response, Oba expressed his dismay at the government’s failure to equip firefighters with modern tools, especially given the numerous high-rise buildings in Lagos State.

He stated:

“Why are Nigerian Government officials so c,ruel to the very people they promised to serve and protect? We have skyscrapers all over Lagos, yet no one has thought to invest in proper equipment for our firefighters?”

The social media influencer went on to tag President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) on X, calling for immediate action to tackle Nigeria’s emergency response issues.

This fire incident has brought back to the forefront the ongoing concerns about Nigeria’s readiness for disasters. As a bustling metropolis filled with skyscrapers, shopping centers, and densely populated business areas, Lagos faces significant fire hazards. However, many believe that the fire service is still lacking in funding and resources.

Nigerians are now demanding answers:

Why are we pouring billions into luxury convoys, political rallies, and projects that aren’t essential, all while basic safety infrastructure gets left in the dust?

How many more fires need to happen before Nigeria decides to invest in top-notch firefighting equipment?

Lagos has seen its fair share of devastating fire outbreaks in recent years, from the Balogun Market fires to incidents in residential and office buildings. Each time, the glaring lack of an effective emergency response reveals serious shortcomings in Nigeria’s urban planning and governance.    Lagos UBA bank branch

Experts warn that without immediate reforms, these tragedies are bound to keep happening. Oba’s response reflects the growing frustration among the public regarding the government’s inaction on issues that impact the daily lives and livelihoods of ordinary Nigerians.

The UBA Lagos Island fire isn’t just another unfortunate event — it’s a wake-up call. Nigerians are calling for accountability, transparency, and real investment in emergency infrastructure. Oba, along with Young OG Pino’s bold criticism, has given a voice to millions who feel let down by leaders who promised to keep them safe.    Lagos UBA bank branch
