But the sky is wide enough now that people in nearby city or urban areas will have seen the light. Haba! Even at that time of the day, people will have still be awake. Some people, keeping vigil or on duty.

I'm totally in support cuz I'm a geologist

Do people still have sex in this COVID 19 pandemic ?

definitely

Designerdollars:
nah God go punish you for this comment.
Deceiving your fellow citizen's on such an important issue all because of money.
May you die a violent death and never be given the chance of a resurrection when these system of things comes to a halt.
Useless man.

shey the thunder wey never fire you finish na me he wan come face....oloriburuku Omo ma Shanfani...you are too dumb to reason like a mature man and to think of whether you are an intellects is far from it cuz you recks of stupidity.....go read more about earth science and this time around do extensive reading, everything is not about political agenda.....dumb fool....think deep and use your brain that God gave you.

Peterjosh:
I think this is an explosive discharge. I am no explosive expert and the most education I have had about them has been furnished to me by this thread. Let us assume that they were not properly packed according to the best safety standard .

To properly take a stand, it would be best to use an expert approach to properly investigate this impact radius.

Geochemical analysis would be a very good approach provided that the site is still as pristine as at the time of occurence. Irregular and anomalous concentration of some rare earth metals within that region will help our understanding of what might have happened here (a very good project topic for undergraduates in geology).

Also, fractions of rocks debris from the meteorite should be sought.

My humble take.

Designerdollars:
all these people saying meteorite up and down are probably paid by the government to deceive us.
Any thinking human with a functioning neuron will obviously know that this is a bomb!!!
whoever did this is trying to send the government a message or probably just show their capability.
That's why they chose a sparsely populated area.
And also,the footprint of this blast has a striking semblance with the abule ado incident.
Nigerian's wake up!!!

Maybe you stop wasting your time explaining things to people who don't wanna learn. Rock blasting dynamite does not have a power of its own. Like you righly said, it has to be cooked i.e other ingredients have to be added to it be you (blast master) can get a desires taste (impact).

First of you need to drill a hole in the rock (6m or as directed by the BM), you fill each hole with minimum of 33mm dynamite sticks, you need to trench/connects the sticks with curtex (a highly flammable wire), you need to carefully choke/cover the holes and then link the curtex to a detonator.

You will need a about 600 10m deep holes filled with 5 33m dynamite with less than a metre interval to get a degree of kiloton that would create this crater..

I've had to mischievously throw a stick of dynamite (stone blasting) into a burning fire before and it simply went "kpoof" ... like a match stick.

Except this was a couple of VBIED's, I strongly suspect a 30,000km/hr moving meteorite.




U obviously know next to nothing

Kittytom9909:
This can only be cause by meteorite

With that kind of impact and crater









Common sense

bmdmixer:
link up there bro

ain't reading no link ...I want it here

adecz:


If not for money, Wetin this
beauty get in common with
this uneducated beast?



Local Igbo dudes always wait
to make money before going to
look for a nice educated girl to
marry. Because they feel that with
money, any class of Igbo girl will
answer to them.

Unfortunately, that is the
culture.

Angelian1:
this might be true, that Akure explosion is actually caused by an asteroid

Just 400 beds ? .

did you read the post at all or maybe you are looking for your usual attention.....?

Eteka1:
I saw the gas leakage before the explosion. A truck had its tires sank in soft soil and in the process of trying to get it out it kept going deeper.

The tyres broke the gas pipe and there was a huge leakage which was captured on camera phone. Someone cooking noodles for sale not too far away ignited the gas while trying to light his cooker.

This one is an accident. The truck was conveying dynamites destined for a stone quarry in Edo state. The vehicle conveying it had a mechanical problem which leads to a fire which in turn ignited the entire dynamites. The truck was escorted by security personnel.

We all know that Boko Haram exists and is a problem but we should refrain from unfounded conspiracy theories which could lead to a breakdown of law and order.

Kylekent59:
It could be a meteoroid , an asteroid, or a missile.


When a meteroriod lands, it is associated by a breeze and is known for digging wide hole. It also destroys buildings or anything close by its landing point.

TUANKU:
The size of the crater tells the whole story. If it's not an asteroid then it's a bomb.

Abagworo:
Looks like pipeline

dazzlingd:
If there was an asteroid impact, we will all be dead by now....meteorite it may be

Henon:
Bomb expert, so na shovel dug that hole and made loud sound?

GamalNasser:
But I know NASA has been expecting a large meteor to pass by but they were sure there will be no impact , I have checked NASA sentry and NEAT platform that offer 24 hour monitoring of impacts and near Earth situations as regards meteors and asteroid and they don't record this meaning they don't know it happens which is weird because the don't miss such impacts

Valendo:
The explosion was bomb explosion and it was caused by police truck carrying bomb

Dereformer:
All of you are mad. This is pipeline explosion.

NNPC is testing the pressure if their new installations.

it's an asteroid bro.....just look at that hole...stop acting like an illiterate
