It's better to start building refugee camp in Zamfara or Borno state where Lagos Yoruba Muslims survivors would camp in advance.
We don't have to wait for the asteroid to destroy Lagos to ashes first, a stitch in time saves ninegrin
You are only concerned about the Yoruba Muslims. What about the Yoruba Christian in Lagos, where will they stay?

Editorialtimes:
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth have surged, reaching a historic probability threshold that has raised concerns among scientists and global space agencies. According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid now has a 1 in 32 (3.1%) chance of impact, a sharp increase from earlier predictions.

Initially discovered in December 2024, its impact probability was 1.2% (1 in 83) before doubling to[b] 2.3% on February 7[/b], then rising to 2.6% earlier this week, and now hitting its highest recorded figure. These odds make 2024 YR4 the most dangerous asteroid currently tracked, surpassing even the 2004 predictions for Apophis, which had a 2.7% chance of striking Earth before later calculations ruled it out.



Lagos at Risk if Asteroid Strikes

Measuring between 131 and 295 feet in diameter, YR4 is large enough to generate an 8-megaton explosion, equivalent to 500 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Among the major cities in the asteroid’s projected trajectory is Lagos, Nigeria, one of the world’s most densely populated urban centers. With over 20 million residents, an impact on Lagos Island, Ikeja, or Victoria Island could result in catastrophic destruction, wiping out entire districts and severely affecting surrounding areas.



No Immediate Cause for Panic—Yet

Despite the alarming statistics, scientists urge the public not to panic.



Experts predict that the impact probability may continue to rise before eventually dropping to zero, as has been the case with many previously tracked asteroids.

To refine the risk assessment, NASA and the ESA will deploy the James Webb Space Telescope, using its infrared instruments to accurately measure the asteroid’s size and determine its exact trajectory.

The ESA confirmed that NASA, ESA, and other space agencies will analyze this data to assess the risk and prepare any necessary response measures.

Olo lo olo lo o. Water dun pass garri.

I want everybody to go to other areas and be safe, i hope lives regardless of tribes, are not lost. But i pray that thunder, smash as intended, on its projected path. Let it destroy all the infrastructure there.

This is what I call Amadioha strike.


Shey them say dem fit rebuild am again; that will be the time to prove it, this time without eastern resources money.

This will save igbos on tactical strikes against one region of the genociders. That way the igbos can focus on other areas in their genocide region, during war time. Hopefully this Amadioha strike comes to pass as intended and let's pray it even speeds up and come this year.
