Nigeria would be among the nine countries that could suffer severe devastation if asteroid 2024 YR4 touches down on earth in 2032, scientists have warned.

This follows the activation of the Planetary Security Protocol by the United Nations due to the possibility of the asteroid impacting earth in December 2032.

Scientists listed several countries that could potentially be impacted if the asteroid lands on solid ground, including three African countries: Nigeria, Sudan and Ethiopia.

Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are also among the countries that may be impacted by the fall of the planetary object on solid ground.

The YR4 asteroid is estimated to be between 40 and 90 metres in diameter by the Near Earth Object Coordination Center of the European Space Agency (ESA), which is capable of wiping out a city about the size of New York.

Astrophysicist González Peinado said, “In the event that it finally impacts, it is most likely to fall into the ocean”, but that doesn’t make the impact less significant as it could cause waves of tsunamis.

Meanwhile, organisations such as the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN), the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG) of the United Nations, NASA, and ESA are constantly monitoring the movement of the asteroid.

Well, if the asteroid eventually finds its way to earth and collides with Africa hitting Nigeria squarely . . .

It would only be an act of God. Everyone knows Nigeria is already headed for destruction so if the destruction hurries up and comes to Nigeria we can only chorus a very huge 'welcome' to it as it arrives with it's fiery vengeance 🤗

It won't hit Nigeria because fasting and prayers works.




Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions.

It's most likely to strike SE Nigeria but we will all be screwed if it makes impact.

Tell them to stop their diabolical human sacrifices .

They have 7yrs to repent before God sends his wrath on them and we end up as collateral damage.

Even if their's a way to negate the effects of this information, our own people at the helm of affairs will neither have a clue nor effectively act on such.

Having watched a few doomsday Hollywood movies, i've come to appreciate that shooting a astroid destined for earth isn't such a good idea as it would spread the problem over a wider impact area. If spotted in time, deflecting its course from earth by sending up a neclear bomb and exploding it next to the incoming astroid is a better idea.

Lol. When others were studying you were getting high at the back of school. 2032 olodo. Tinubu will be out of Aso Rock 2031. He'll be in his or UK home in 2032. Shetimma can deal with the asteroid. 😎

Better busy yourself praying it does not fall on the SE. Falling rocks to further flatten those already big and flat heads of you lot means we will be able to several of your heads to make Olympic standard ping pong tables. 😅😅

As long as Pastor Elder Adebole and Chief Oledepo and Craze Oyakilome and all Nigerian pastors are Nigerians, it will never hit Nigeria

They will command days of fasting and prayer and the asteroid will fly us
