This is not from this world.. It just like bomb explosion

It was an explosive. It was gathered that some unknown people had explosives in their possession at the checkpoint in Akure. A light was seen popping out of the car and boom! The explosive went off. Not that serious and definitely not a sign of end time. Sayonara

I was just started dosing when I heard the heavy thunder- like sound, and I wondered what could have happened, then I started asking for forgiveness of my sins. Infact, the sound continue for like a minute and fading suddenly.
May God save us all.

Asteroid will skim Earth at 53,000mph this week It should pass at a distance of about 4 million miles (Science Photo Library)

Nasa is constantly on the lookout for asteroids that may pose a threat to life on Earth. These so-called ‘near-Earth objects’ (NEOs) need to pass within a certain threshold to be considered ‘potentially hazardous’. And the experts at the US space agency say there is one such rock on the radar for this week. The asteroid 2012 XA133 is set to pass Earth on Thursday, March 26 at a speed of 53,000mph. The asteroid measures approximately 1,280 feet (390m) wide, which is enough to cause a major impact on Earth if it collided with the planet. Thankfully, Nasa engineers calculate the trajectory of the asteroid will take it safely past us. It’s believed to pass 0.04453 astronomical units (AU) or roughly 4.1 million miles from the center of Earth. A single AU describes the distance from Earth to the sun – roughly 93 million miles. ‘As they orbit the Sun, NEOs can occasionally approach close to Earth,’ Nasa explained. Nasa is calling this a near-Earth object (ESA) ‘Note that a ‘close’ passage astronomically can be very far away in human terms: millions or even tens of millions of kilometres.’ Alongside Nasa, the European Space Agency (ESA) is also tracking the asteroid. It’s actually one of about six that are being tracked as they pass Earth this week – but it’s the only one falling into the ‘potentially hazardous’ category. ‘Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are currently defined based on parameters that measure the asteroid’s potential to make threatening close approaches to the Earth,’ Nasa said in a statement. ‘On a daily basis, about one hundred tons of interplanetary material drifts down to the Earth’s surface,’ said Nasa’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). ‘Most of the smallest interplanetary particles that reach the Earth’s surface are the tiny dust particles that are released by comets as their ices vaporize in the solar neighborhood. Asteroid fragments strike Earth all the time without any noticeable damage (Getty Images) ‘The vast majority of the larger interplanetary material that reaches the Earth’s surface originates as the collision fragments of asteroids that have run into one another some eons ago.’ The agency does go into some detail about would would happen if one of these rocks did end up smashing into us: ‘With an average interval of about 10,000 years, rocky or iron asteroids larger than about 100 meters would be expected to reach the Earth’s surface and cause local disasters or produce the tidal waves that can inundate low lying coastal areas.’

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