Barely four months after an earth tremor sacked hundreds of household in Ikara town in Kaduna State, another broad day tremor has created panic in the Koi town in Jaba Local Government Area of the state.



Here are 7 things you need to know about earth tremor:

1. An earth tremor is a term commonly used to describe earthquakes of low intensity.

2. A tremor can come in form of aftershock occurring after the main shock of an earthquake

3. It can also precede a main earthquake. This is called foreshock.

4. Earthquakes and tremors are measured with tools called seismographs, and their intensity is rated on a logarithmic scale, called the Richter scale.

5. In most cases, earth tremors are been referred to as earth quakes.

6. Earthquakes occur when the earth’s tectonic plates move and contact other plates.

7. Sometimes the plates rub against each other laterally, while other times one plate moves underneath another. When this happens, it is called a subduction zone or a subduction-caused earthquake.

Bad news everywhere, the gods are punishing Nigeria for choosing a stark illiterate to be their president.

Quote me and sango will strike you down.

Na. Joke I dey joke ooo

May God save us from all this disasters ohh , else our heartless leaders would just watch us die

See the kind of place (earth) we live. A place where natural disaster can kill anybody any time.

Even human being body system is "death" itself. Any part of the body can stop working anytime.

Yet people behave as if they would never die.

Death is sure banker and meeting God one day to make account is a must.

Still no picture after almost 4 days, even a leaking roof will do!
