If the state governor is claiming that simply smoking cigarettes can cook off the 7.62mm rounds used by the AK47 assault rifle, then he has clearly been fed WRONG information. Look at battlefront pictures, and note the number of soldiers smoking cigarettes while fighting and while resting, if you need any convincing that it is perfectly safe to smoke in close proximity to live ammunition.

The only way to ignite rifle or pistol ammunition of ANY caliber, short of loading it into a suitable weapon and pulling the trigger, would be to place that live ammunition in a burning container and wait for at least a couple of minutes. There is no way in hell that a lit cigarette can cause rounds to spontaneously explode as the governor suggests. If the Port Harcourt explosion was not caused by a suicide bomber, then it is conceivable that a member of the robbery gang was sitting in the car monkeying with a hand-grenade, before pulling the pin by mistake. A hand-grenade blast would riddle the car and its occupants with shrapnel, but leave no crater.

finguy:

Of all the lies, na this one dumb pass.


Nway if I may link all the stories into one. A commercial bus picked up passengers randomly not knowing 4 were robbers and one a suicide bomber. He later stop to buy illegal fuel from a tanker parked in a nearby push cos its cheaper (wetin fuel at 140 dey cos) while he was getting his tank filled, one of the robbers decided to light a cigarette but his lighter wasn't working, so the suicide bomber offered to help light it for him with his bomb! Nd they all kaboom! Lol

Retardeen like u..CURSED CRETIN!

All I can do is shame my head as I watch my dear country being destroyed by incompetent rulers. GEJ and his team need to cool down and take control of the security issues facing our country instead of sending small boys to verbally attack the highly esteemed Buhari, after Buhari made a statement that is truthful regarding 2015 elections.

I join fellow gullible Nigerians, Amaechi, and others to say very loudly, that this explosion was caused by robber who was irresponsibly smoking a cigarette near naked petrol.

lacasa: D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅'s. My amazement with irrational comments on dis site


a bomb or wateva. Went off in PH aπϑ without waitin τ̅☺ ascertain wat apend some animals αv begun call 4 Biafra, some r sayin War, some bigger idiots r sayin kill hausas in south-south.

Ђδω tremendously insane most people here are

1. Partaining τ̅☺ Biafra, dt one is a lost cause aπϑ a comedy D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ died with D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ war munger Ojukwu, (good riddance τ̅☺ bad rubbish).

2. War! - As OBJ said during †ЂΞ Bakassi dispute with Cameroun, those D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ call for War have never seen war. if a decorated officer like OBJ will never wish war on his enemy then i wonder Ђδω some animals here D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ αv never attended a riot in their sorry excuse O̶̷̩̥̊͡f a life will be calling for War no matter †ЂΞ circumstance. (Olorunmaje oo). May we never ever see anything like War in Nigeria again

3. Nigeria should be split- go n research it, look at †ЂΞ USSR, look at Sudan/South sudan, God put us 2geda for our own benefits which He in his wisdom made it ​ so​. Instead O̶̷̩̥̊͡f making noise about splitting dis country Ɣ dnt nigerians fight their common problem,- Bad politicians!. This few set are †ЂΞ only problem dis country has aπϑ all dis boko, kidnapping, militancy, etc are by-products off Bad leadership. But as nigerians, all we know is tribal aπϑ religious bigotry aπϑ thats Ɣ we will neva move forward like this.

Splitting naija will nt solve Your problem bt rather work against †ЂΞ common man cos like it is in history, †ЂΞ ppeople determine †ЂΞ govt bt in naija its †ЂΞ other way round

4,- kill hausa/reprisals on wat basis-

†ЂΞ qtn is, on wat basis??

†ЂΞ bokoharam D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ U̶̲̥̅̊ r saying its hausa D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ r doing dis, Please i challenge anyman here τ̅☺ name a hausa man D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ has ever been caught as bokoharam??

We αv seen kanuris, igala, yoruba aπϑ even igbos with other ethnic minorities in †ЂΞ north but no sss,army, police or wateva has published a name or a suspect from †ЂΞ hausa tribe

Now, those D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ say kill hausa, kill hausa, i just pity †ЂΞ large migranys from †ЂΞ south aπϑ other non hausa tribes either northern origin or settlers or whateva, believe ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ if hausas r killed massively for something they know nothing about †ЂΞ cry in †ЂΞ north will be pure genocide pass rwanda's own i tell U̶̲̥̅̊.

Those who αv bn τ̅☺ †ЂΞ north lyk in kano, sokoto, kaduna will agree with ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ migrants from †ЂΞ douth n east outweigh hausas D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ go τ̅☺ †ЂΞ south or east at a ratio O̶̷̩̥̊͡f let's say 10:2 ​ so​ just imagine

Aπϑ as it is if hausas r killed indiscriminately, even †ЂΞ non-hausas D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ are northerners eg †ЂΞ minorities will be affected aπϑ †ЂΞ disaster will be unthinkable.

​ so​ please aπϑ pplease, think b4 U̶̲̥̅̊ say things cos nobody wants blood τ̅☺ be spilt for somethimg D̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ we know †ЂΞ answer τ̅☺ but yet we allow †ЂΞ problem τ̅☺ comsume us.

Bad politicians aπϑ Bad leadership is everywhere in Nigeria aπϑ †ЂΞ sooner we realise our COMMON ENEMY aπϑ do something abt it, †ЂΞ earlier we can αv our own Nigerian dream

God help †ЂΞ good people O̶̷̩̥̊͡f Nigeria aπϑ not †ЂΞ wicked oned amongst us
whats this anus talking about? I wil start the reprisal attack on you. Mumu Adamu. Hail Biafra joor!

thanks. my wonder is why are the authorities and press shying away from the reality and truth. people...it's a bomb blast. port harcourt dwellers be vigilant....for the evil has been brought to your household.
Re: Bus Explodes At Rumuokoro Park In Port-Harcourt by Nobody: 5:14pm On May 17, 2012
la furia: the question is wat made d eye witnesses beleive it was a bomb blast.? Perhaps they saw d bus exploded and they feel d best causd shld b a bomb.
If u are an eyewitnes tell us wat u saw not u wat u think u saw.
Some say it was a suicide bomber, did they see d bomber demselves. If u feel d authority are lyin, simply tell us wat u saw diff. Typicaly if an explosion goes off, we all assume na bomb blast
Gov Amaechi should be arrested immediately. Is he there when one of the so called robber was smoking cigarette? Gov Amaechi should stop lying against the dead or be visited by the wrath of the gods. THIS IS SUICIDE BOMBING BY BOKO HARAM

They were carrying ammunitions and not bombs. My source is the investigator. The bus did not scatter instantly (Go back to page one for earlier picture). Everything around the bus including passers bye sustained little or no scratch. That place is a park.

People are being misled into thinking it was a bomb. A bomb at Rumuokoro could have killed up to a thousand. They were carrying bullets and guns in the car. As a PH guy that stays in Choba, you could well verify from anti-bomb squad Bori camp which is 5 poles away from the scene.

It is not bomb blast. Confirmed report has it that weapons were conveyed with a commercial bus painted with Rivers State to undisclosed location when dynamite exploded killing one and injured three. Is not Boko Horam. The Gov. of the state has comment on this. I was close to the scene.

Bros you should know that Choba is very far from Bori camp, whether is was a Bomb or not - there is some tension in Port Harcourt.
