Toke says it took the fire service 20 hours before responding to a fire incident in her house.

“This country is designed to frustrate you, you call on the fire department and they show up almost 20 hours later asking questions like “who put out the fire”? I am still shocked.”

“Then they ask to come back to teach the household how to use a fire extinguisher, between the shock I’m feeling, the anger and tiredness, I’m not sure how to feel about my country Nigeria.”

However, she felt repented about how she always conveys only negative stories about her country.

“I love Nigeria so much, I love everything about being Nigerian and I hate for those who follow me from other countries or Nigerians in diaspora to only constantly hear the negative stories from me, we like every other country have our own issues, I should do better.”

“I have now been informed that it is a private emergency unit that is attached to my estate that was notified, they were also told when the incident was curtailed and the visit around 1pm the following day is a standard routine to assess the damage done and give some safety tips.”
