I'm in Maitama. Been feeling this for 3 days. Largest one was 6:11am this morning. Something actually feel in the living room. Yesterday was about 15 of them. The day before, I felt 4. Don't know if there were more as I was out of town. As at this morning, since I was woken up by the massive one at 6:11am, there have been about 5. I haven't noticed a pattern to say it's man made (blasting). Although I haven't felt any between 12am and 6am both days. So maybe? Please let me know if I'm wrong. From talking to all my friends and family that live in the area, mpape seems to be where is strongest. It happened while I was talking to someone in bannex and we both felt it at the same time. But mine in maitama was stronger. Farmers market area felt it too. But not Guzape. I putting this info up so we can try to figure it out ourselves as govt seems to be guessing too. So any relivant info should please added. Please no need for Buhari and Jesus to be mentioned. Just saying oh. No be fight. 5 Likes 1 Share |

gaby: Wrong! No country on earth is shielded from disasters. Not one. God is Lord of all the earth. I'll tell you a couple of major disasters we've had, and still currently have: 1. Corrupt politicians. 2. Wicked, evil, deceitful pastors who have not fed the sheep. This is actually worse than physical famine. 3. We import things we ordinarily can produce in Nigeria, and the border authorities turn a blind eye to all the smuggling of banned products. That, my friend, is a curse. 4. We, as a people, by and large, find it difficult to obey simple rules like traffic lights, speed limits and so on. 5. Our young people do not want to read and engage their minds. All they want to do is listen to Davido, Tiwa, Wizzy, and so on, who only sing trash music. 6. Yearly floods that destroy houses and farmlands. 7. Accidents - like the recent tanker explosion on Lagos-Ibadan expressway. 8. And the list goes on and on. In my opinion, I'd rather be in a country like Japan, with all the so-called natural disasters, than be in a country like Nigeria, who is dying by slow poison! My 2 kobo. |

FEMA, in statement, said the tremor maybe a sign of seismic movement within the earth and said “it could also be caused by a sudden break along lines which result in sudden release of energy that makes the ground to shake. The statement was signed by FEMA Director General of, Mr. Abbas Idriss. Maybe; see how they are playing with our lives. They are not even sure what led to the quake. I don't know when we would at least take a step forward from where we are right now 1 Like |

From the little I know, engineers don't like blasting in the rain, because of the detonation cap (trigger) gets wet, it can cause a failed blast. That's a big deal because now you have undetonated explosives on your active site. I have noticed the tremors during rain as it's been raining a lot in Abuja. I know there are other methods to blast in the wet sha. Just sharing. 1 Like |
