Useless and backward government

BabbanBura:


This is an insult to dem geophysicists, geologists and environmental scientists

See them geologist people feeling fly, abeg e, they were blasting rocks and nothing more. It happened again this morning. Twice sef. Nor be only tremors

I'm in Maitama. Been feeling this for 3 days. Largest one was 6:11am this morning. Something actually feel in the living room. Yesterday was about 15 of them.

The day before, I felt 4. Don't know if there were more as I was out of town.


As at this morning, since I was woken up by the massive one at 6:11am, there have been about 5.

I haven't noticed a pattern to say it's man made (blasting). Although I haven't felt any between 12am and 6am both days. So maybe? Please let me know if I'm wrong.

From talking to all my friends and family that live in the area, mpape seems to be where is strongest.

It happened while I was talking to someone in bannex and we both felt it at the same time. But mine in maitama was stronger.

Farmers market area felt it too. But not Guzape.

I putting this info up so we can try to figure it out ourselves as govt seems to be guessing too. So any relivant info should please added.

Please no need for Buhari and Jesus to be mentioned. Just saying oh. No be fight.

Sudden this sudden that,The gods are angry,coz buhari is acting like a God.

Meeloreh:
In case it was real earth tremor, how many Nigerians are well trained to detect, predict or tackle such. I'm just wondering

Tremors are not predicted, they are detected. Otherwise, the authorities won't be getting caught unawares every time even in developed climes.

Firefire:
Explanation watery and full of 'maybe' maybe.


Maybe Buhary will not contest in 2019. Maybe?

That's what I noticed. I hope this is an initial statement. MAYBE a proper scientific investigation is being carried out.

slivertongue:
FGN should do d needful. they sud stop d quarry activities in mpape,
kubwa etc

Anything that generates taxes and brings employment can't be stopped
Did they stop oil exploration in the Niger delta even after the damage to the environment
So forget it

JuanDeDios:

That's what I noticed. I hope this is an initial statement. MAYBE a proper scientific investigation is being carried out.

MAYBE!

If natural disaster join the unnatural disasters we are already facing!! Hmmmm!


But I bliv d gods are angry with our nation. Haba!

7:13am. Another big one. Maitama.

gaby:
This is coming probably almost 48 hours after the initial reports made the rounds online.

God knows why he had deliberately shielded us from major disasters. We would have all perished and dwelling in the belly of the earth before a state of emergency or an alert will be issued.

May God continue to hide us under the shadows of his wings, because as we can see, we are left to our own vices.

Enjoy my siggy

The natural disaster of black race is bad leadership. it is worse than tremor, trunami, etc.

Another one just happened again, making it twice this morning alone.

I haven't noticed a pattern to say it's man made (blasting). Although I haven't felt any between 12am and 6am both days. So maybe? Please let me know if I'm wrong.

To my earlier point. Neighbors felt it at night as well.

Another massive one as I type now.

Wrong!

No country on earth is shielded from disasters. Not one.

God is Lord of all the earth. I'll tell you a couple of major disasters we've had, and still currently have:

1. Corrupt politicians.
2. Wicked, evil, deceitful pastors who have not fed the sheep. This is actually worse than physical famine.
3. We import things we ordinarily can produce in Nigeria, and the border authorities turn a blind eye to all the smuggling of banned products. That, my friend, is a curse.
4. We, as a people, by and large, find it difficult to obey simple rules like traffic lights, speed limits and so on.
5. Our young people do not want to read and engage their minds. All they want to do is listen to Davido, Tiwa, Wizzy, and so on, who only sing trash music.
6. Yearly floods that destroy houses and farmlands.
7. Accidents - like the recent tanker explosion on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
8. And the list goes on and on.

In my opinion, I'd rather be in a country like Japan, with all the so-called natural disasters, than be in a country like Nigeria, who is dying by slow poison!

My 2 kobo.

God will save us

From Buhari and his Co-horts

backnbeta:
Naija and campaign after election syndrome! Other countries send out warning before wahala, naija agencies send theirs after! I hope they have evacuation plans and all, in case of emergency.

All thanks to APC. We are now ahead of world standard of emergency management

Lol

Goodluck Jonathan caused it.

FEMA, in statement, said the tremor maybe a sign of seismic movement within the earth and said “it could also be caused by a sudden break along lines which result in sudden release of energy that makes the ground to shake.

The statement was signed by FEMA Director General of, Mr. Abbas Idriss.
Maybe; see how they are playing with our lives.
They are not even sure what led to the quake.
I don't know when we would at least take a step forward from where we are right now

LordReed:
A massive one just occurred 5mins ago.

We can even feel it in Kubwa here.

If I'm not in Abuja I might think you're lying.

We don't need assumptions. Why should FEMA be the ones to issue statements on Seismic activities when we have the Nigerian Geologic Survey.

In Nigeria �� you are on your own (OYO).

Neoteny:
Can't be an earthquake. We're not on any tectonic fault lines. Most likely quarry blast.

The government info seems so uncertain and uninformed. As usual.

What a country!

It can't be quarry, I felt it this morning, and I am in kado estate, never heard any quarry blast around here, besides its not a sound, it's a shaking nd am upstairs yet felt it. Am actually scared.

Will you keep quiet? Which kin quarry blast? Is it today they have been blasting rocks in Abuja?

How come the one that happened this morning was felt all the way from Kubwa? I guess only you know how far Kubwa is to mpape

I am in kado estate, didn't believe all these until I actually felt it this morning, note that no quarry around here ever.

Don't mind the dude, that's how they sit in there comfort zone and being using their keypad to analysis what they don't know.

Something that we in Kubwa felt even my window vibrated.

wolesmile:


Can you see your life?
So countries where earthquakes, landslides and other earth related disasters occur wan their citizens ahead, and yet they record so much casualties when these disasters occur. Is movement within the earth crust the same thing with a weather related disaster?

For your information, it is actually possible to warn people years ahead if there is a likelihood of earthquake or tremors in an area.
You may read the article below to learn more about it.

Zero

Nigeria is like a barn of pigs without a sherpherd

Emusan:

If I'm not in Abuja I might think you're lying.

I have felt and heard over 10 since then.

From the little I know, engineers don't like blasting in the rain, because of the detonation cap (trigger) gets wet, it can cause a failed blast. That's a big deal because now you have undetonated explosives on your active site.

I have noticed the tremors during rain as it's been raining a lot in Abuja.

I know there are other methods to blast in the wet sha. Just sharing.

Explanation ko, assumption ni.

chukxie:


Seriously, do we have any functioning, up-to-date agency for meteorologists and seismologists in Nigeria? I'm laughing in Chinese . We are in God's hands in Nigeria.

Lol, yes we do. Do you live in Nigeria? How do you expect airlines to function without one haha
