I remember the Ikeja Bomblast of January 27 2002. I was in SS 1 at the time and had just started to learn about volcanic eruptions and other natural activities.
I had actually left the house with a note and Camera with the intention of going as close as possible to the source of the explosion just to take notes and pictures (mind you, we didn’t know what was happening at the time, lots of people were peddling rumours of war and an Osama bin Laden invasion, my 12 year old self in her naivete was praying it was some natural biological activity of some sort).
I eventually abandoned my curiosity and ran away with my family and most residents of the areas affected when the explosions became too scary. (Nigerians love their lives)
