A meteor? And yet no one could see the speck of light it most likely will have generated on its entry into the Earth's atmosphere?


Nah! It can't be a meteor.

Wetin you sabi? Prof dey talk you self dey talk.. Lol

Obviously YOU are confused.

A geologist that can't talk the only thing he can say is I am a geologist, geologist by paper, this one never go field before na

Depending on the kind of explosive, there might be no inferno . However that crater could not possibly be from an explosive to create a depth of almost 8 meters . Unless the explosives were placed at a depth before detonated .

The major concern is if there was truly a truck of explosives around there . If it was,Then its whereabouts should be ascertained or else the south west will be up and alert for bomb threats .

Bullshit!

So the meteor chose to land and destroy the road? It could have landed anywhere else but aimed for the road.

Where are the fragments. Use your head.

When look closely at the crater you will believe Prof's claim. Police had to allay the fears of the community by claiming responsibility

METEORS DONT HAVE WHEELS.



THE EARLIER REPORT WAS ACCURATE.



THIS IS A DISGRACEFUL ATTEMPT TO COVER UP, THAT BUHARI GOVERNMENT ARE MOVING BOMBS AROUND DOWN SOUTH IN TIME OF PEACE.

Use common sense, does that look like a wheel track on the sand? even if that's a wheel, why is it one? What sort of truck makes that kind of wheel?
That's a very very big wheel, if we to agree on that. My last argument though, The shock wave from the blast should have erased the track off the sand, you could see the impact on the buildings nearby, that's a lot of energy. Unless you telling me the said truck survived that blast and they had to drag it away from the crater. A bomb theory is not making sense at all.

yenereal:
Prof might be correct but the police that claimed responsibility should be called to explain. Who drove the said vehicle? How many people were therein? Did the driver die?

You can imagine the kind of country we're living in. The impact I saw on the picture should make one to believe the prof.

Just like that? Because a "prof" said it?

No cause another explosion with your English biko!

He is right. Watch this, and compare with what happened in Akure. It was a meteoroid.

Thanks I learnt ..... The Supremacists have alot to protect .... they should build a space ship dedicated to intercepting comets, Asteroids or meteors that are earth bound.

Thanks for the information

Not with the amount of bombs the Truck was carrying.

Just go to youtube and watch examples.

The parts left would have traveled very far in the blast scattered.

If you watch the full video in your link, you will be further convinced that this is unlikely to be an explosion caused by a truck conveying explosives. Notice that in this case, the parts of the truck were found around the site and the driver died. See link for full video:

Won't a meteoroid leave lighting in its path as a result of the friction generated on its entrance to the Earth's atmosphere?

International Meteor Organisation (IMO) and NASA among other agencies spend billions of dollars every year monitoring meteors, provide information on movement and would have notified if there was one moving towards earth. Yet, one prof in Ife that does not even have fast internet and information is saying this. Lets fear God o

What if there are buried bombs all over the south and those bombs are nearing their expiry dates?

Dude, it depends on the amount of explosive.

A truck carrying huge explosives, will not be around the site of explosion.

It would have ben blown away, destroying buildings and killing people on its way.

Adepelumi supervised my project. He is one of the best in the Geophysics field.

A lot of sense in his findings.

Toluobaeko11:

I was so disappointed when the police says it was a bomb, a bomb without smoke and fire. My question was that does the vehicle conveying the bomb evaporated? No sign of bomb at all. I'm living in Akure, and my house is in Ijoka, almost 20 kilometer from the incident, we felt the impact because our house vibrated. It was a meteors from space if you see the images and familiar with documentary associated with that.
In conclusion, I was also very disappointed with my brothers from the east, because they were so happy to drew their conclusion it was a terrorist attack, why were they happy even if it was? I asked myself! If there's a terrorist attack in Arakale Akure, 80% casualty will be the Igbos.
Even if Nigeria is bad today, we Yoruba don't wish any tribe evil. I love the Igbos, and I also love the Hausas, I see everybody as my brother.
Let us all remember that, if we're wishing someone evil, evil will never depart us too.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE

I don't understand this your Igbo vs Yoruba angle. Next time don't spoil a good comment with nonsense generalisation. It makes you sound uneducated. Leave tribalism to lowlifers and focus on intellectualism.

Will you get the fuxk off my mention? Did I say I believed him? Didn't you read where I said, "Prof. might be correct"? So "might" and "is" mean the same thing right?

Racoon:
Metoers? Wetin we do mother nature nah? Why is the FG yet to address the nation on this scary development? Perhaps Bubu is not aware as usual?

Meanwhile, why did the police alleged that the tionOndo creater was caused by dynamite when there are no pieces of the exploded truck or victims of the destruction?

As usual,d Police will provide any Answer to cover up their incompetence, lack of Knowledge and Deceitful dispositions.

where is tribalism in my comment? The people from East were happy thinking it was a terrorist attack. I've never wished any tribe evil, but you know quite well the easterners always do that.
God bless you

Which yeye meteor? Let the ignorant academic keep quiet, NASA would have reported the incidence if this were true.It would have been breaking news on International news media already.

Explorers, I wrote on your thread that that looked like what an asteroid would make.

However, people fail to understand that there is a difference between a meteor, meteoroid and and a meteorite.

The OAU professor appears not to know too.

Danhumprey:

Nah! It can't be a meteor.

It happened at exactly 1am in the midnight. How many people do you expect to be outside by that time to see an incoming light?

How are we supposed to trust the veracity of this claim by our dainty Professor?

Here is one of his claims about an earth tremor that was debunked by NGSA earlier this year:

When they graduate with 3rd Class now, they'll start saying na cos them no gree make one Prof Kolombi dem.

This is so wrong!!! Very wrong of the learned professor!!!

You can't just use field evidence alone to make such claims!! Very wrong!! People like him are the reason we still name our igneous rocks according to 1980s names given to us by the whites.

So a meteor of such magnitude will crash-land without no prior warnings?!! If only you guys know the level of analysis that go into the study of meteorites you would laugh at this.

A meteor of that magnitude would solicit worldwide attention!! Please Google the last time the world witnessed the event this man is claiming before quoting me.

They can't track all meteorites coming to earth. Many are insignificant that it's ignored. They only track those that pose danger to earth. Do you know how many are flying around in space right now?

Asteroid: a large rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun. Meteoroid: much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the Sun. ... Meteorite: If a small asteroid or large meteoroid survives its fiery passage through the Earth's atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
