Whilst it must be considered to be a mathematical possibility that such a disaster may occur at some time in the (hopefully) very distant future, your money would be safer if you bet on Elvis Presley landing a UFO on the head of the Loch Ness Monster on the day a cure is found for the common cold.
Sooner or later a big rock will hit this planet, smaller rocks hit it all the time. Indeed one hit on June 30 1908 in Siberia and destroyed an area of forest about the same size as Greater London. The probabilities are that 'the big one' may very well not happen until the expansion of the Sun, about 5 billion years hence, will have wiped us all out anyway.
Sleep well, the planet is safe for the forseeable future.

Well notch it up a few more percents.
Nibiru was a legend created from a hesitant translation of an older legend. That legend had Earth having been visited by inhabitants of another planet which:
1) could have been Jupiter
2) could have been a planet from the present asteroid belt
3) could have been a trans-Neptunian Object
and who came to Earth to find gold that they needed for some reason.
Based on some information contained in the legend (not on actual observations), Sitchin (the original translator of the legend) has this planet return to the inner solar system -- our region -- every 3600 years.
If you do the math, this places this planet in the Oort cloud, much further than trans-Neptunian objects like Pluto, Sedna and Eris.
When you point this out to the proponents, they counter with the fact that the planet could have been put there following a collision with yet another undiscovered planet called Tiamat.
Astronomers simply don't believe in this Nibiru planet (even less in the prediction that it will collide with Earth), but the theory is often used by those who enjoy conspiracy theories and "end-of-the-world" scenarios.
For example, some recent "theorists" have changed some of the parameters to make the return match the date of the end of the present Long Count in the Mayan calendar.
Personally, I would have preferred to have it match Y2k (the day all our computers exploded and we all died, on December 31, 1999). After all, the "inhabitants" of Niburu, the Anunnaki, are supposed to have come here in seach of gold particles. Now, what are supposedly well advanced people doing with gold particles 3600 years ago? well, they must have been building computers, of course. I guess they are the ones who died on Y2k...
;--)

Rest 100% assured, there is no such thing.
You will be able to continue asking this type of question for years and years.
