I just spoke with my Aunt in Akure to confirm their safety. She said the explosion was so bad and she thought the world has come to an end. That I should go and repent cos she is sure rapture wants to take place very soon, given all that’s happening. My people, repent o.

Remember NASA said some asteroid would be hitting earth anytime soon. I guess a debris hit this part of Akure causing this crater pic.twitter.com/vqAGhR6Jsf

What happened is Akure might be a bomb ? blast Maybe Boko Haram has spread the whole country.
PS: it’s not Asteroid cos a ‘close’ passage astronomically can be very far away in human terms: millions or even tens of millions of kilometres.” pic.twitter.com/NlqF56eqDR
