Did you read at all? The terrorist is an Ijaw, not Yoruba
Abiodu Amos is ijaw?

First of, most of us here don't even know we have some Special force that knows who criminals are. All we are chanting on is the guy is a Yoruba or Christian and can't be a militant. Senti has been one of the high profile ijaw's around Oke oko ikorodu area with his boss General Ossy. So if u guys don't know shit u just read and leave. About them being Afonja's or not. I'm sure u people know some Ijaw's r from Ondo and they bear yoruba name. These r the people that have been on ther wanted list. Or do u think they just stop him and found d dynamite. I hate comments on here. This is not about who's militant. Ijaw's in ikorodu general Ossy is real and they know them well. For u people chanting they not Ijaw they r yoruba or not xtian they r Muslim u don't read news at all.

A terrorist that wants to blow up a structure like this will bring the bomb activate and detonate within 10mins or he will be spotted.

Now, its true that Dynamites are used to blast rocks or concretes, but do you consider the time the detonators will spend in placing, connecting, and wiring the bombs or dynamites?

Now on busy bridge like this, terrorists will have to go under the bridge with the dynamite, placing the bombs, connecting and wiring them to almost 4 - 5 pillars before detonating them.

To do this, they will spend hours and how is that possible without being spotted?

There is this channel where they air how they demolish buildings with explosives, they spend days setting the dynamites and dynamites brought in truck not in sedan.

They did one in Lagos years back.

Erm...civil engineer or demolishion expert undecided. Calm down

All this one you are speaking is gramma. I am not sure anyone was planning to bring the whole of 3rd mainland bridhe down. A compromise of just a little section can be disastrous, asides from the hardship and phycological truama plus fear that will be induced on lagosians and Nigeria as a whole, which is the main objective of an attack. Casualty, fear, and psychological trauma.
We are not talking of a controlled demolition here. Just a big gash or opening in any section of the bridge can cause a lot of damages and casualties. Even the sound of explosion without expected consequences by the terrorists is enough to send down shivers. You seem to be talking like someone who has never plyed that bridge or probably u plyed once or twice. The bridge is very very porous especially at night when the sea below and the bridge itself is virtually empty. Abi bros u dey do night patrol for water? Your analogy and assertions really do not fit in here.

That's part of the problem we have in Nigeria, we take things with very little care...

I have studied people and crime especially in Nigeria, what I found out is that a lot crimes people commit, most offenders don't know the gravity of the type of offence they are committing or about to commit, most times they don't even know what it takes to carry out a perfect job...

They also work with assumptions, that's why you hear of failed kidnap attempt, then successful ones but later caught, check out what the police used in catching them, very little evidence that should have been taken care of by them, the reason is a lot of them are not informed or would I say knowledgeable enough to know what technology can and not do. E.g imagine having a successful kidnap operation and a member of the gang steals the persons phone with the sim and gives it to his girlfriend to use with the sim..

What am I trying to say, sometimes this guy's don't know what it takes to successfully carry out a very technical operation, but that does not rule out their motive, what you said here is trying to compare individuals who know what it takes to carry out a successful operation and people working with assumptions thinking that they can achieve a goal.

However one shouldn't overrule the fact that a less informed person can carry out a successful operation with mistakes involved, it may be 100 percent or not but could cause a lot of damage, destruction is far easier than building, organised destruction is harder than a disorganised destruction, what I'm saying is I've watched the program you are talking about, they brought down the bank of industry building in Lagos, that was an organised destruction, they didn't want any other building to be destroyed, that's why it took them that long with lots of calculations and so many guidelines to follow, but remember if a terrorist was to take down that building he might strap himself on a bomb in few minutes run into the building and detonate, of course the building will come down but other buildings will be affected and it will be so disorganised.

That's why I said one shouldn't take it kid gloves and say it cannot take down the bridge, in terrorism a lot can happen, every little information is very vital and should be taken as much as a very big one, because a little damage could trigger a bigger damage... E.g a grenade or dynamite explosion in a plane is a as bad as a missile hitting it, why? It is a very sensitive element a little damage can trigger the whole plane to crash, that's why terrorist this days don't go for elements that will look like exhibits, they try as much as possible to look for things that can pass for everyday use turn it to weapon and look for a soft location that can trigger bigger damage. E.g the Berlin attack.

Note: if you look at the package in that picture, it's dynamite that was imported from China, I'm sure dynamites are not banned from importation in Nigeria because of rock blasting( I may be wrong though).

Another thing is our police and security agencies, it could also be that the guy is innocent, maybe he bought dynamites for rock blasting and they arrested him as a terrorist, you know how our police behaves, let's not also rule that out, however it shouldn't be taken with kid gloves.
bro u too much. I already gave him an answer here. Many ITK dey this forum.

yorubbers have Muslims too, so you people are terrorist and should be bomb and destroy
So all Muslims are terrorist? That is another area where we ar better. We have muslims, christians and d traditionalists who leave together under the same roof in yoruba land. You will never hear us fighting because we reason more than d religion itself . Mind yu Asari Dokubo is also a muslim and he is not a yoruba or hausa by tribe.

Thank God o, but can dynamites do that?

To blow up a bridge like that, you need a payload/nuke.

Not something you will put in a trunk of a sedan.

it doesn't need a large fire power, just something good enough to compromise the bridge at a strategic point.

When other Muslim's keep quiet or even try to deny the existence of such action

It's only natural for people to blame our religion.

It's denial like this that makes others continue to tarnish "your" religion
