NotGej:
I just felt it now. This just woke me up now. This is not the usually tremor from rock blast. It came with a loud bang. Location is gwarinpa-Abuja.

I felt it too....

Two at 6 14 and 6 26 am.. This morning.. Reporting live from mpape abuja

Even the gods are angry with APC led government

Nema said we shld take precautions, but did not tell us how. They did not state a clear reason for the incident. A professional body for DAT matter. What a pity, poor country!

Our geologists dey work for Bank...

Firefire:
Explanation watery and full of 'maybe' maybe.


Maybe Buhary will not contest in 2019. Maybe?

More watery than dysentery poo my brother.

Was the tremor measured? Do we even have an institution or board capable of measuring potential seismic activities?

What clear scientific evidence have they that the tremor was solely due to stone quarry activities?

Why has use of explosives in the quarries not been controlled till date?

This is right near seat of FG power o. If it's near Okitipupa, Orlu, Goronyo/Sokoto, Otukpor or Ikot nko?

Iamgrey5:
How can specialist detect earth tremor before it happens?

This is not cause by water or wind, so it cannot be tracked

They may not be able to predict a tremor or earthquake before it happens, but with the right equipments and expertise, they sure can feel unusual activities under the earth's surface. Their warning came hours after the tremor sir!

It wasn't predicted or measured

gaby:
This is coming probably almost 48 hours after the initial reports made the rounds online.

God knows why he had deliberately shielded us from major disasters. We would have all perished and dwelling in the belly of the earth before a state of emergency or an alert will be issued.

May God continue to hide us under the shadows of his wings, because as we can see, we are left to our own vices.

Enjoy my siggy

what do you expect from a dullard president?

na for ASO ROCK ,ds kind tin for dey happen
abi das y BABA no come back frm China

And they promised CHANGE.

Well I heard it's as a result of rituals being performed by its native people around there. There is nothing you ll not hear in this country and our government body is not competent enough to investigate on what went wrong....

I no go go mpapa again till further notice my friends at mpapa hope u understand me o

sad but true.

this is not good at all. those in the affected places should please vacate for now. being safe is individualistic. the report self is filled with "maybe" ND maybe is no guarantee of safety.

What equipments ma?

Have you thought that they studied the situation because it was unusual to the area before giving that conclusion?

hmm

islandmoon:

This has nothing to do with just the President if the people manning the concerned agencies are actually up to speed in the discharge of their duties.

I'm sure that was what the NEMA and its likes were set up to achieve.

Can't be an earthquake. We're not on any tectonic fault lines. Most likely quarry blast.

The government info seems so uncertain and uninformed. As usual.

What a country!

Please if u are a geologist and working in a bank, gather around let's take a selfie.

... She had to take cover under her table. Lol

What would I do if I don’t have a table ?

Geologist?

backnbeta:
Naija and campaign after election syndrome! Other countries send out warning before wahala, naija agencies send theirs after! I hope they have evacuation plans and all, in case of emergency.

Seriously, do we have any functioning, up-to-date agency for meteorologists and seismologists in Nigeria? I'm laughing in Chinese . We are in God's hands in Nigeria.

Meeloreh:
In case it was real earth tremor, how many Nigerians are well trained to detect, predict or tackle such. I'm just wondering

This is an insult to dem geophysicists, geologists and environmental scientists

Yet, we have thousands with ɗegrees anɗ advanced ɗegrees in geoscience and geophƴsics from this countrƴ+ an agency! This is more than a thirɗ worlɗ countrƴ.

True, the west African Plate which Nigeria happens to be located on, has been relatively stable since the pan African orogeny.
I don't think it's an earth quake. Probably as a result of the quarry blast or a possible sign of future unstable plate movement

ok, but the statement fails to tell Nigerian's the actual cause and ways to avert it or measures Abuja residents will take in order to be safe.
what a dumb circular

This table you are shaking, am firmly sitting on it bro. It's just sad I can't practice what I studied. This country is just dead

It will take them until after the 2019 general election before they can figure out the cause

If it were USGS, it will have been just within few hours

The gods are angry...they need human sacrifice.....they are tired of eating goats.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Make Ebola no enter this country cause this government no go do anything
..

Make the thing happen inside Aso rock make that old shaft go under in piece and also happen for Maitama make we see if those criminals go come stay with us for dutse alhaji

Its dutse alhaji safe? Anytime i look at those big mountains at the back of those scattered buildings, i just imagine what would happen if there is volcanic erruptions from that mountain.

God is really shielding us from natural disasters, cos lives would be wasted and there would be no recovery

LordReed:
A massive one just occurred 5mins ago.

e scatter aso rock ? e for good o ,because d lifeless one is back
