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

True, just that very few would have seen it happen, especially since none was expecting a meteoroid in Nigeria, also, it depends on when it happened and the literacy level of the people that saw it.

First thought that came to mind.

I am a geologist but I disagree with the prof on this.

What is the basis of your disagreement. He presented findings based on data. What is your own argument?

So there was no truck conveying some explosive materials! This is precisely why Nigerians don't trust their government. From truck to meteorite, before the end of the week some will tell us it was a missile from some unnamed enemy.

When all of you were indoors I was outside sky looking - find attached possible evidence to support the prof- the big one is the moon the smaller the meteor

Pictures from the drone posted here on this forum showed destroyed buildings. Infact one roof was blown away and several buildings destroyed. I am not a bomb expert neither am I a geologist but I have questions.
The crater that deep should come from a force at a very high speed at an angle at the same time I don't know if a meteor has enough power to shatter surrounding buildings like that. If it was a bomb carrying vehicle also, then there should be parts of it scattered around and casualties.


The police report doesn't make any sense at all. It just leaves me more confused

ignis:

Kindly state your disagreement sir.

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.

That's why they need to investigate and go as far as the can within that area to find particles. We need to be 100% sure of what happened. Where is driver and other military personnel who followed the truck? No eyewitness no nothing?

2mch:
Prof is right. It looked like a Meteor

did u see any light in the night sky... NIGHT... people would have seen it na haba...and also the remnants of the rock would be visible

joyandfaith:


OAU has some of the best brains in geology and geophysics.

Actually, they have MOST of the best brains in geology, geophysics, geography etc in Nigeria. Chemical Engineering too!

I think the police and Governor quickly cooked up a story when it was obvious they had no clue what happened.
The professor's angle makes more sense since they found strange pebbles at the ground zero.

trilobite:
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.

Holy God, it's not about the size alone but the speed at which it is traveling.

nitrogen:


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

listen there is no way an asteroid would enter Earth's atmosphere at NIGHT and people wont see it...

computermouse:

You were outside looking at the sky? If a meteorite is entering the earth's atmosphere wouldn't it have a trail like a comet?

Racoon:
Meteors? 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 Ondo creater was caused by dynamite when there are no pieces of the exploded truck or victims of the destruction?

I'm telling you!
Just imagine the Nigeria Police!

Oga Professor, I disagree vehemently!!!

I am a Mining Engineer by study and by profession by God's Grace. I can categorically confirm that commercial explosives were being conveyed from an explosive company in the South west to a quarry in the South south. EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) officers of the Nigeria Police were escorting the said explosives. The explosives detonated because the truck went in flames, according to report. Whether that cause is true or not is another case entirely. The one true fact is that "EXPLOSIVES IN A TRUCK DETONATED". The impact of the explosion is what you saw, while some witnessed ground vibration, air blast and noise.

For those that want to believe Mr Professor, try to check online videos of blasting done in quarries to know what explosives can do to rocks.

Check this video to understand the power of explosives.

In addition, some people said it was a bomb. Bomb explosives are different from commercial explosives. You would notice that there was no trace of fire or burn on and around the location.

So where are the pieces of the truck around the blast site?

A meteorite can cause even much more damage but that doesn't mean this was indeed a meteorite. I am just amazed that something like this can happen near a very populated area and we have no idea what happened.

HELLO GUYS,

At a crucial time like this, as we're all expected to stay at home in order to curb the spread of #Covid-19, One needs to be smart in earning a little while at home.

We can smartly be doing something to earn something.

You’re very correct and the only commercial explosive available in Nigeria is dynamite. Dynamites are used for controlled explosions or shape charge, that’s why mining and seismic companies uses it. Moreover it doesn’t leave fire or burn marks, unless it’s used on a building with fire conductors inside. I’ve seen it at work firsthand, so I’m speaking from experience.

Oga where is the buried truck? Or pieces of burnt car or even any physical evidence apart from your stories.

Nigerians too like stories without tangible facts.

Prof from Hell

Easy na, it's talking based as a professional in the field of geology.

ignis:
I am a geologist but I disagree with the prof on this.

You disagree but provided no reason to support why you disagree. And you mentioned you are a geologist. A well trained scientist won't do that.

More so, he is a professor and you are probably just a first degree holder with no experience in the area being discussed.

If I have to disagree with what the prof said then I will gather enough information to dispute it. I dont need to be a geologist to do that, so far I have enough knowledge of what is being discussed.

You don't just disagree, what are your reasons for disagreement? I mean, what explanations do you have to offer as a geologist??

Humanoid01:
I was wondering if a bomb explosion could cause a crater as wide and deep as that.

Even an IED planted by the road side do not have such power to create such kind of crater let alone have the power 4 such blast radius.

Toluobaeko11 your comment was tribal.

Niggmatic tribalism is important its not for "lowlifers", like I told someone on NL some weeks ago "if people aren't tribal, people from other tribes will take what's meant to go to them. for example, the Ijaws have oil but due to the lack of tribalism from the Ijaws, people from other tribes own majority of the oil wells while the Ijaws get commissions..."

note there is economic tribalism, social tribalism e.t.c..

tribalism that leads to violence and hatred is bad.
tribalism that protects economic interests of a tribe or ethnic nation is very important.

Well! I'm sorry if my comment was tribal, I was just pained with their actions. I don't support tribalism as well. AGAPE

I have video proof of Prof theory.... I can't upload it here if you want to see it,,just pm me...
