Metro Another Explosion Rocks Nyanya, Abuja

[Vunderkind]

There are reports that a large explosion happened a few minutes ago in Abuja's #Nyanya axis.

While it is right now unconfirmed whether the explosion is a bomb blast, a resident in the area who spoke with #Abusidiqu said the blast happened close to the area where the last motor park explosion on April 14th happened.

The extent of damage cannot be confirmed yet and the number of casualties is unclear as the landscape is in pandemonium.

Details to come in as they are verified...

Update:

Eye witnesses say it is a bomb, and that there are charred bodies on the ground.

This government continues to waste the lives of Nigerians but most Nigerians seem to keep hoping that somehow God will stop them when God is waiting for you to do something about it: he has given Nigeria resources to buy and make anything they need to solve their problems, enlist the help of reliable friends in the international community, resources to educate the people, a constitution that allows the president of the country to speak with any local leaders and rulers in affected areas to begin to find real solutions on the spot, an opportunity to speak to the leadership of Niger and Cameroun to enact solid counter-measures, the resources to by now have cameras lining up the entire national boundary of the country to see who is going and out, but what are Nigerians doing? Still waiting on God to come down and solve the problems he has given as your own job to do??[\quote]

Confirmed. How terribly sad in the same area as well.

Vanguard, Sahara Reports and Daily Post have also carried the story. It's happening, and it's happening NOW.

More Details:

A thick smoke bellowed out from the scene of the explosion, which was close to the Nyanya bus terminus where a similar incident happened on April
14.

Some residents said they heard a loud sound from an explosion which sent jitters into them as many scampered for safety.

"The Show Must Go On"

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

16 bodies counted so far at the Asokoro hospital

Nigeria is at peace. The war is those that want to rule not serve and they come from all sides of the country.
