What are the mining?
I think it's to early to start saying stuff on media, till a proper investigation has been carried out

If actually they incident was caused by illegal miners, then those involved and those sponsoring them, should face justice

Your first paragraph makes sense but the second one is unnecessary....

I wonder where or what to mine in Ibadan....bodija for that matter

Moreso, if they were to be illegal miners, why should they keep explosives in a residential area instead of a place close to the site(s) they illegally mine?

How do they move the explosives to site (s) on their illegal mining days without the security operatives finding out or accosting them...is security system that bad in this country

So, people move explosives around in ibadan there and other parts of the country freely without any Intel from the secrete police or the other relevant personnel....smh!

It's only idle sagging and dread boys they have Intel on.....we had a country

Intel matters to me than the kangaroo court and judgement they will set up for the unreasonable criminals that kept explosives in residential area... No wonder someone suspected that it was a terrorist attack

How many more explosives do we still have around where people live in this country, kano, kebbi, enugu, warri, Abeokuta, saki etc...

The truth is, nowhere is safe in this country

Creamypie:
Ibadan no get natural resources nah

They mine outskirts Ibadan but reside in Ibadan.. majority of them are not Nigeria and they have been doing that business over 30years in Ibadan.

They are many in Bodija now... you know they see huge money from that prescious stone biz but they mine outskirts the town especially Oke Ogun axis

No investigation noting noting u just wake up dey yen dust ,tueeeh nija

Other countries of the world are now so comfortable and secured that all they worry about is what to identify as, in the legislations all you hear everyday is about people that identify as women, Zi, he, x, etc. But here in Nigeria hmmm!

He cannot

obonujoker:
Please Sir, Arrest these illegal miners

iReddington:

Go and bring out the remaining dead bodies na, it was clearly stated in the article that search and rescue were still ongoing.

What is your age? I beleive you still small or never understood the Nigerian government or media. Governor said two people died, just multiply that two by 10.

You are talking as if Nigerian government ever said the truth.

Switinthemiddle:
OYO state has and is always my favourite state with their neat and organized way of doing things. see swift response from the government and necessary agencies. Their pledge to assi7t those that have been made homeless is very comendable. Just imagine this happened here at ogun state..them for no even see better road reach the incident scene,shey ogun even get fire service or na abeokuta them base. May Almighty GOD continue to protect me and mine with you and yours this new year in JESUS name. amen

say ibadan.

You think entire oyo state is ibadan?

If this happened in igangan, you think it will be the same story?

Explains the loud bang I hear in the midnight ...

I think seyi is right ....

I thought as much it's does quarry people blasting rocks,
The FG needs to ban any form of rock mining in the state ASAP for further notice.

What if ... Just what if it was a distraction? To drown out a topic that has started gaining momentum nationally. ... Well, we will never know .

Unfortunately that is the end. We will not see anyone or a name. There names will remain "illegal miners". What a country

The stone looks greenish right ..

I once met a guinea girl at ibadan that said her husband works at a mine site...

She showed me what they were mining...

Trophy12:
Chinese people don start , they love mining more than anything once they discovere minerals resources they one state , day just go illegally and start mining, animal.

most they get local government and state government approval oh

I hope they are not covering up something here. If they are, I advice them not to because it will only rear up its ugly head later on.

Lexusgs430:
Exactly what are they mining and where.........

I'd like an answer to this too

it's getting wild. From gas explosion to illegal minners?

it could be those dynamites used in breaking rocks etc.

Someone said it yesterday when the news started after the explosion.

But we really need to know full details and full detailed investigation.

Fryx:



Whatever, that’s probably the case.

No terrorist will plant bomb in a residential area. The market is not far away.

The behavior of the blast is not how a bomb usually behave. Ordinarily, I believe it’s gas. But explosive meant for mining is also plausible.

If you believe it was gas you probably didn't hear the sound

Antiurchins:
That's Terrorist attack Mr governor.....
Southwest is no more safe

Your wish for a terrorist to strike in our region will not come to past. Nah your eastern region go dey experience am

Mr. Governor, please, note that it is better to wait till conclusion of your investigation before bringing illegal miners into the picture. Armed robbers also use explisives to break into banking buildingss. You might be right, or wrong, but thorough honest investigation must be carried out and concluded first.

Antiurchins:
That's Terrorist attack Mr governor.....
Southwest is no more safe

.... Be sensible for once, please.

Bomblast in Ibadan, is like what I can never imagine.. 2024 wetin dey happen

Mycometp3:
Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! More people died as seen in a video..

Can you post link to the video here

membranus:


No be me and you.

Die alone!

Lol, no one is leaving this earth alive

I understand they don't want panic in the state but they need to be proactive.

fatboyslym007:
Based on what I heard about the blast radius, shockwave, vibration and sound...
It is possible the blast is from under the ground.
If it were a surface explosion the effect won't be as strong as vibration felt at Apata and other far places...

So likely a stockpile of explosive kept in underground chambers denoted. Most likely illegal miners stockpile...

The truth would be revealed from the state of ground zero of explosion.

You have a point.

BRO, restructuring can never work in Nigeria, I remember when Shetima said it live and I quote "restructuring my foot" best bet is for every indigenous people go back to their root, we were structured before in the 70s Southern, western and norther region but the military came and destabilized everything to form 12 states. if it can't work then, it cannot work now, even the Fulanis disguising as Hausas who were never part of Nigeria won't accept it whole heartedly.

DMerciful:
Restructure this country for goodness sake!

In my opinion eh, if it was a gas explosion from the station, it would’ve been more deadly.

The shock waves may not even have travelled that far but you see the immediate vicinity? They’re toast there.

My brother’s neighbor was a victim of this as an undergrad.

Dude’s gas was leaking and he didn’t know. The resulting effect not only shattered his windows and others, he suffered a large degree of burns all over his body and there was no fire

Good governor!

Rolings:


It's not. It's stored dynamite that was mistakenly detonated. Bodija is full of miners (both legal and illegal)

God will help us

DMerciful:
Restructure this country for goodness sake!

Yoruba man called Tinubu is the head and he has been shouting restructure for years now ..let's see if he will eventually do what he has been mouthing all these years
