Tanker Explosion. It's a very beautiful day at Ibadan, Oyo State. I had a wonderful morning and my afternoon is going well too. I followed my sister to the saloon to make her hair and I took that as an opportunity to lose my hair. The hair was so stressful to lose so I asked an apprentice of the hairdresser to help me with it. Another apprentice joined making two apprentices who helped me to lose my hair. It took them an hour to lose my hair because the hair was quite much. As usual, I took my phone while they were losing my hair. I replied to some Whatsapp texts and also played my favorite game. At some point, I got tired of pressing the phone because the hair was paining me and I left the phone just to focus on the hair. In a few minutes, they finished losing my hair. My hair was so dirty that I had to wash it thoroughly while bathing. It took me fifteen minutes to wash my hair for you to know how dirty the hair was. After taking my bath, my phone began to ring and I picked it up. My little brother called me to tell me about what is happening in the area. My dad's second house is at Matogun Olambe, Ogun State. He called and told me that a tanker exploded in the area and it burnt some houses. I was shocked because such a thing has never happened in that area. I asked him where my mum was and he said she went to the location to see what was happening. I got scared and called my brother back again. I asked if the place is not close to my house. He said no and I was happy. The area is three minutes away from my house. I know a lady who lives a few steps away from the location. I called her to know what was happening and to know if nothing happened to her house and her family members. She said no and I was glad too. I was eager to see videos or pictures online just to know how much the fire was. I took to my Whatsapp handle to do that. I checked some people's statuses and saw a lot of videos. The fire burnt a school, hotel, shops, and houses but no lives were lost. After a few findings, I was told that the tanker fell yesterday and the petrol was gushing out of the tanker but they didn't act fast until this morning when the tanker exploded. My mum just called me now to give me the full gist about what happened. Over ten houses got burnt, two churches, a hotel, two churches, a lot of shops and so much more. That's a lot!!! I'm glad that no lives were lost. I began to wonder where people whose houses got burnt will sleep tonight. What is going to happen to them? It is not easy to build a house these days, especially with the hard times that Nigerians are going through. I feel sorry for those people. It's a black Saturday at Olambe💔
