Openbusiness:

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

This form of claim is outdated. Brains abound everywhere in various parts of the Nigeria. Besides, what the Prof. presented is a preliminary study!!

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

please where are the meteorite debris, and how come the impact isn't angled with the rotation of the earth

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.

I understand your angle and the context of tribalism, but your last sentence is only applicable to countries struggling for nationhood.

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

Oga, no be Asteroid. Meanwhile, meteoroids enter the earth almost every week, most times, they burn offbefore hitting the earth surface. Very few hit the surface of the earth.

johnlegend01:
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.

If it was an explosive like u allege, I want to believe that they weren't transporting just one commercial ordinance, so why then was it just one huge explosion, how do u explain y there were no corresponding explosions at interval and also how do u explain it blast radius?

It could be that it broke apart because meteor disintegrates as it falls. It’s the speed with which it is falling that creates such craters. Mostly falling faster than the speed of light. I am sure debris will be found if the government searches for it

If it was explosives that detonated, it wouldn't have been just one loud sound, it would occur multiple times like GBIM GBIM GBIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMM!

Where is that yeye gamalnasser.
Come and learn when I said it was not an explosion the otondo said I was a buharideen mischief maker

Toluobaeko11:

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

Read my comment again. You are still commiting the same blunder upon which I called you out in the first place

ignis:

a fellow geologist here... State ur reason please.. Did u see the crater created?

This definitely end time shit

nitrogen:


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

Gamalnasser come and learn.
I said this yesterday

Daum:
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

From its angle and speed of entry, it has the power to produce such crater and also have a powerful blast radius depending on its size. So there is every possibility that its a meteorite.

zz

Wao! That's strange occurrence but very possible.
NASA can still help us get the image and trajectory path but it must be a very small meteorite to create a 21m by 7.8m crater.

We are lucky and may the Lord keep us away from Asteroid impacts.
One impact some years back monitored by NASA. It impacted on Jupiter creating a crater of about 1 kilometre deep and an explosive mushroom compared to activating all atomic bombs on earth once.

TheGreatIYANU:
Who do we believe? The Scientist or the Army?

Let Akeredulu's imaginary army show the remains of the buried vehicle, the other vehicles in the convoy and mention the name of the company which has the explosives as well as the conveying approval.

Then the debate can start. Else they should just keep quiet.

ignis:

just like that, no counter evidence?

You sure say you...

You and that prof are clowns

GamalNasser:

Like wise. you na confirm clown too

Explosive dynamite ko bomb blast ni

You are not a geologist if you can not back your words with reasonable fact findings... explosion would have burn most of those buildings like we had in Abule Ado in Lagos.

A nation speaks one language.

Nigeria doesn't speak one language.
Nigeria is an assembly of several nations.

In political science, there's a step in joining the disjointed. You can achieve nationhood even when you are not a nation.

This is very simple, samples of rocky materials at the site should be verified in the lab , definitely the composition of such rock will be different from the surrounding that is if Prof assertion is correct, however, if explosives particles of containers will be seen ....so don't kill ya selves

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

I believe the Prof didn't go to the site in Akure to see if he will find any pieces of the object that caused it.
He's at his house or one club doing his conclusion.


How about the police claiming responsibility?

Investnow2017:
Nigeria is not an ordinary country. So the police are not correct nah. Abi. When they said no casualty, I have been wondering how can the police escorting, the driver of the truck etc escape being harmed with this level of impact?

As usual after this prof, the next will be a pastor coming up with his own spiritual theory. We need external helpooooo. I am afraiding of this country!

nitrogen:

according to what you posted, he is wrong, meteorites solidifies the soil, it does not excavate nor does it disperse soil particles,it kind of pushes everything inside, besides, the meteorite should be present at the site if truely it's a meteorite

this is very funny!!!

No satellite images to validate claim! Or even amateur camera on buildings. Too poor of Africa giant!

ignis:

Don't be daft. Disagree with proof.

I'm so sure you haven't been to the site, where then did you draw your falsehood claim.

FYI, I'm a Geologist too. Prof is right.

ignis:

Stop talking like an iddiot. Are you a geophysicist? What contrary evidence do you have? Next time keep shut.... Not the time to start displaying the nonsensical mind vibration you learnt from the half baked asari dokubo university

ignis:

If you have seen confirm photos of the site, especially the ground before making your comment. Then sorry to say that you wasted your time studying geology.
