Govt should should consult d services of Geologist/Geophysicist to unravel d mystery.... Wait oooo, does it mean we don't have a recording station that monitors seismic activities in Nigeria? |

HsLBroker:HAHAHAHA. Your God is very useless if he answers only with earth tremors which affect the poor innocent masses even more than the greedy corrupt elite. |

If this thing really happened then it means earthquakes are a man made phenomena. I read of minor earthquake scares taking place in the north circa 2014/15. All the events took place in areas well known for mining. |

After the white elephant project to look for oil in the Chad Basin, this is what you get. Rock blasting, drilling through metamorphic rocks, which by the way are much more prone to seismic activity in that region given the dearth of underground water to dissipate the energy vibrated through the rock layers, can induce mini tremors which when they aggregate can lead to the event that happened in Abuja. If they know any better, they should not activate any movement in the Benue Trough, because a tremor in Abuja can affect areas like Kogi, Kaduna, Ebonyi, and Taraba. |

GSA01: Plates can move and a tectonic plate is very mobile, albeit at micro pace. But there is movement. Nigeria sits on a craton - A craton is an ancient part of the Earth's continental crust which has been more or less stable since Precambrian times. However, there are fault lines at the surface of this craton that allow for water, natural gases, and oil embedded in the rock layers above the craton. Movement along fault lines in the Earth's crust caused by the tectonic plates can chip off small parts of the craton and create micro-fissures where the impact of the friction may be transferred. We may not experience earthquakes in Nigeria for a long time - say in the next quarter of a billion years - but we can experience tremors because of the movement of interplate fluids, orogenesis and the Earth rotation. |

I've never been scared like today...my windows started shaking serious and strange sounds from no where and I rushed out to run for my life thinking a rock close to my area has erupted and everywhere was calm, no reaction from any building and I quietly went inside.. The one that made me to quickly leave the house was when my toilet cover closed and I became more scared thinking a ghost is in my house...only for me to hear news afterwards that it was an earth tremor. The strange sound from the ground sincerely makes me more scared till now cos I can sense that inside the ground something is going on that we may not know. |

GSA01:How can he know we are not in the plate cos this strange sound I heard on my bed that shook my whole building is not a thing to overlook at all. I jumped out of my bed straight outside thinking there is volcanic eruption. I'm not sure inside the ground is OK...something is going on |

Said press release was just full of errors and half-baked conjectures. Most public-sector organizations are run by wacks! |

boneruns: lol...does the agency has a seismometer to capture the data... even if they have,how wi the data be analysed...i think they should employ you to do the job sha...since you can relate with what may have happened.. you are a geologist i guess. |
