Racoon:
Imagine it is foreigners that are causing citizens this needless pain in their own country.

Worst still, the foreigners may be illegal immigrants.

chiagozien:
You forget to mention one Nigeria terrorists

Exactly. E.g DSS and it’s ilk.

BigBlackPreek:
Simon Ekpa is a joke. as an indigen of Ilorin I schooled UI and very much familiar with bodija which is dominates by Hausa Fulani so hence I deemed his assertion and claim as nonsensical

Bodija is not even dominated by hausa fulani except the sabo part.Bodija alone is has big as some cities in Nigeria.

Old Bodija and New bodija are dominated by the yorubas,bodija oja by majorly yorubas/Igbos and sabo bodija by the hausa fulanis

Kukutente23:

But the people never knew or didn't you read the Op?
Why do you guys enjoy blaming the victims in defense of your favourite politicians

Maybe you should read Makinde statement from the OP.

Lifemanage:

State policing is the only effective means of policing. My question is what were the miners mining?

The mining activities is not taking place in the area of the incident. The people mining are only living there and that’s where they keep some of their stuffs.

I think people are mixing things up. That area of Bodija is not a mining area, the miners just have their houses there.

What kind of mining goes on in the other place that necessitated their keeping explosives in bodija

NovusHomo:


The New York City Police Department (NYPD) alone has 36,000 officers as at 2023.

Exactly. Sometimes I even believe Nigeria is designed to fail.

If you go and bring 300k USA police to police the whole Nigeria, they will fail just as their Nigeria counterpart.

Either the government start state police now and allow governors to recruit people massively or better still people should volunteer within their LG as some sheriff sort of.

How can foreigners be mining Yorubaland resources that Yorubas themselves are forbidden from mining?

Zonefree:

Blame Tinubu and APC.

When the head is rotten, Intelligence Service cannot function.

DAFT.

Phut:

Exactly. E.g DSS and it’s ilk.

Not only them, including anyone that want one Nigeria by fire and by force.



Check the meaning of terrorist in dictionary

Mmm

Kukutente23:

Leave those daft deluded souls
If it was a terrorist attack, won't the attackers have come out by now to claim responsibility?

All this nonsense pple here mentioning terrorist just dey find talk. If na terrorist attack from the beginning e for clear.

Zonefree:
Federal government should investigate this IbaGaza case very well.

Ibadan Gazagate Scandal

coolcharm:
Illegal miners in a state capital for 11 years without any apprehension? Top shots in government must be involved.

Exactly. No other explanations.

Raskimonojendor:

They were posting all sorts of trash on twitter hoping the dead will be more. These lots are very hateful beings.

You just discribe yoruba people.

YoungBlackRico:
Y'all better ignore these Igbo guys, no point being in the muds with them

Y-pig in muds with Igbos?

Yeeebos trying to make this incident look like terrorism.
Shame on you!
I doubt if you guys will ever be president in this country.
You all are despicable - nobody wants you!

Brendaniel:


And you still found way to shift blame away from Tinubu, Tinubu is charge of all government intelligence agencies in Nigeria , what is he doing about it?

Did you read that illegal mining has been going on for many years?

This is not the fault of any President.

How are foreigners entering the country to illegally mine our natural resources, and all their neighbours know this to be happening but no security or intelligence service is aware?

Throwback:
And we say we have an Intelligence Service in this country?

They seem to be the most useless organization in Nigeria.

More useless than the Police.

Chai!

Anyone can come in and do anyhow in Nigeria, and all their neighbours would know except the Intelligence services.

Little wonder they cannot use Intelligence to defeat boko haram, IPOB-UGM, and the many terrorist bandits.

What a national shame.

Whoever is handling any of the Intelligence units/services in Ibadan/Oyo State should be fired immediately.

Ohhhh, intelligence services are for real and imagined political opponents.

Throwback:


So the Intelligence Service just became rotten like the Police too became rotten in 2023?

Did the illegal mining just start in 2023?

Tinubu becoming President has revealed some people's level of stupidity.

Throwback:

For foreigners to even enter our country from our borders first is a failure on the government, why do we have customs and immigration if the citizens will have to do their work, how do you people reason like this...

No wonder the government behaves anyhow and you will not hold them accountable, even the illegal mining, mining operations are cost intensive and requires machines too.

So you are saying the citizens should take laws into their hands to arrest the culprits, how are you sure they have not reported so many times to the police and they did nothing.

Is it not in this same Nigeria that citizens have been arrested for fighting for their rights with foreigners....

Oga if this were to be Canada would the government blame the citizens for illegal miners on their own territory?

chiagozien:
Y-pigs can never be better than them even without president.

But you know that you guys will never smell aso rock & you still won't have biafra.

Crater at the epicenter!
Holy shit!
There was a mysterious explosion like this I saw reported on Nairaland in Ondo state some years ago on a main road with a crater deep inside the ground. No one was reported injured or killed.

I still do not understand why someone will store such a deadly thing in his house. Wtf?

For disasters like this, investigation should not be left to the state government alone but joined by Federal government or an independent body as well....

A lot of ticking time bombs in Nigeria in the forms of hazards; unsafe acts and unsafe conditions... They go off when their time clocks....

Few years ago we had catastrophe like this in Abule Ado..... It was an explosion that cleared the whole place with a lot of people dead and properties damaged

The foreigners nor go pass Chinese or Indians. The local govt chairman, commissioner, head of the community and others have questions to answer and security agents

NzogbuNzogbu:
I find it suspicious that every security issue now is now sharply tied to mining

Is it the mining that is also responsible for the banditry and kidnap for ransom across the roads

Did bomb blast not happen in ondo church that year, don't these dots connect to some takeover ethnic cleansing

SS/SE that are hostile to terrorists are not having mining issues

Because it is, the same issue is happening in Ilesha/Ife axis of osun state, in kogi, Benue and plateau.
Some of the land the actors of the plateau massacre are fighting over has large deposits of various minerals.

In Zamfara the issue is very desperate and there are big name politicians involved

Yawa don gas, now they are illegal miners.....
