Here are some comments gathered by Akelicious:

@Fantis “Did you all feel this crazy big tremor just now 6:12 am in Abuja? Now this is getting scary. My house and bed shook! Felt 2 More smaller ones now.”

@AliyuAtiku “The whole Abuja is vibrating. It happened yesterday and it’s happening right now. Anybody felt it? Could it be an earthquake?

@BashirYusuf “Another heavy tremor just occurred at 6.01 a.m. in Maitama, Abuja. Truth is, this seem like a warning for an earthquake. I think the authorities should do some scientific investigation or evacuate residents as a matter of precaution.”

@Chrisngwodu “These tremors shaking Abuja require a definite explanation. What are they? Why are they happening? What or who is responsible? Are they seismic events?

@Oyenne9 “It’s the third day of tremors in abuja, Today’s just started very early this morning and its getting stronger. It’s spreading to areas that weren’t affected on day one. The windows are vibrating as well. I’ve counted more than 5 since 6:11am.”

@Olajideobe “we also need to ensure all first responders are on emergency alert.
As we pray/hope for the best (safety), we should also brace for the worst, in case earthquake eventually occurs.”

The corruption in fct under this govt is crying to the heavens, thats the cause of the tremor

Nigerians are always known for their fearful way of reacting to natural occurrences. If you're complaining about earth tremor, then what should the Japanese people do? In Japan, earth tremor is more like a culture to them.

Meanwhile, God is about to shake the foundation of evil governance in Nigeria. I only pity innocent Nigerians that will be affected. The remaining days that's left for Buhari and his cohorts in power, he'll be so frustrated.

Fracking
