Professor that does not have sense !!!

1. A vehicle moved from the airport -fact
2. The vehicle was carrying explosive -fact
3. The vehicle carrying explosive broke down - fact
4. The content of the vehicle exploded - fact
None of this is true.

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.


Where is the truck?
Just like Tinubu asked for the cow.

that's in POLITICAL SCIENCE not in REALITY.

most countries outside Africa speak one language are occupied majorly by people of one ethnic group who practice majorly one religion.

political science and real life are two different things...

you sound naive.

You used MOST countries, why didn't you say ALL countries? What do you know about evolution of state?

Your last statement shows that you might be one those foolish kids on nairaland. Get sense

Prof Adepelumi taught me at ife. We still did a geophysical investigation this year. Well read and have great interpretation skill. That cant be a bomb. Its sure is a meteorite. Similar case is the one at Arizona. This one is massive but smaller than the one at Arizona. Moreover people saw a bright light from the sky before the explosion. If it were bomb it will be explosion before fire. Thump up Triple A

What is this nonsense? Meteorites almost always burn up as soon as they reach the earth's atmosphere. If they don't then it would be a hell of a bigger impact than that. What does he take us for?
He probably takes us for people who need to do some Google searches before flaring up grin.
Craters of different sizes are possible. Nonsense? Hardly. Why do you non-experts find it so easy to reject expert opinion? The only problem is the fact that his theory flies in the face of what the policemen (dunno if they were eye-witnesses) said. Otherwise, his analysis checks out.

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.

This is likely caused by a bolide/superbolide . . . I've posted many stuffs about this since yesterday.

NASA does not know/see everything . . . I've explained those too -- even the ATLAS telescopes in Hawaii don't have everything covered . . . 2 ATLAS telescopes in operation out of a proposed 8 . .. I could go and on, but it will just be repetition of my earlier posts.

Lol. They didn't tell you that in your video. The dynamite were actually buried in the soil and still yet you didn't get even a crater like result. More like breaking up of solid soil and dispersing them.

The Akure ish isn't a bomb abeg. Every single pic points to an impact from space.

You are a mining engineer showing a 200,000 tonnes (divide that by a truck of 30 tonnes which the military don't normally use!) explosive impact.
Common, engineer. Learn from those who understand physics, speed, weight and impact.

How many trucks then?
Where are the parts?

What of witnesses?

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?

You just believe the prof and his team didn’t visit the site before making the conclusion even with his scientific observations. Ipob clown.

I think its highly unlikely for a bomb or commercial explosive detonating in a truck (above ground) to make such a large crater....on the other hand, if the explosives were buried & detonated, then its possible.

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.
