This startling photograph is acknowledged as one of the most horrifying photographs shot ever since the camera was invented. Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die. This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The location is Sudan, outside a UN warehouse for storing food and grain received as humanitarian aid. Nobody knows what happened to the child. But Kevin Carter broke down mentally after taking this picture and ultimately committed suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was recovered after his death: "Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we ar...

DR ABDULLAHI BALA ISA (PhD Analytical Chemistry) wrote.: The net is awash with 'alarm on Plastic Rice' including providing 'hoax websites' for verification..... I'm not against 'alarms', but let's be more thoughtful. 'Personal checks' are the work of 'efficient regulatory agencies' in the said sector..... Rice is a polysaccharide(a type of Carbohydrate), while Plastic are polymers. They will act differently when subject to either 'direct heat' or 'boiling in liquid (Cooking). While rice will absorbs liquid while cooking and soften and become edible, the other will not and will not be edible. They also act differently when subjected to 'direct heat' with 'plastics' simply 'melting' at a very low temperature and turn to a 'viscous like liquid'; The rice on the other hand(on direct heat) will absorbs the heat for a while before darkening and crumbles which we generally call 'burnt rice...

Abba Ibrahim Gamawa (16/11/16) I have honestly been avoiding the news about the lynching of a seven-year old boy, hoping it will just fizzle away like all those senseless and unimaginable headlines we come across from mischievous media outlets like Newsrescue. I have had to drop my phone twice opon the sight of that headlines earlier today. But I guess the savagery of Lagosians is real, thus, a seven-year old boy was truly lynched and burnt to death. Subhanallah! From the Brexit, to the Trump thing, and now this! How the supposedly enlightened ones (we see Lagos as such in Nigeria) are displaying uncivility and even barbarity is yet another paradox of our generation we need to be mindful of. I wouldn't even dare to compare the value of his life to the Garri (Kwaki!) he stole, for an adage says it's unfair to say a knife is shaper than a stick. Before going further, I have to say that I don't have the vocabulary that will do justice to my sentiment at the moment, and q...

In one of our training sessions,my mentor collected a Nokia torch  hand set with fully charged battery. He brought a fresh egg. Then he puts the egg and the handset together and place them into a polythene bag. He tied the bag and told us to call the phone number..... Calling....calling.. ..busy.. busy.   When the battery is drained down,  he gave the phone to the owner and cracked the egg.   Behold the egg was cooked!!.. done!!!. We were surprised and asked for the explanation. He told us that every handset emits electromagnetic rays. That it was the rays that was responsible for cooking of that egg.  He also said that for  device to  be named " hand set " by international bodies is not by accident.   He said that it is never a pocket set. He went on to say that males (men) have egg resemblance in between their legs...scrotum. He admonished men to stop putting their hand set in their pockets,  but to hold on hand. If you continue t...

Well according to Rick Ross, the beef between rappers, The Game and Meek Mill’s is over. During a Snapchat session at the gym, a sweaty Rozay said he’s ended the beef. ‘Perfect time to let you know I had a conversation with my brother Game on the West Coast,’ said Renzel. ‘We puttin’ that shit behind us. Real niggas do real things. If it’s on my side, don’t even trip. On your side, that’s how real niggas do it. Let’s get a billion.’ Game’s manager, Wack 100 tells TMZ that Ross ‘doesn’t have the rank or the respect to squash anything’ and says there was no such conversation between the Compton rapper and Rozay Although things might not be all good between Meek and Game, there haven’t been too many new disses from the dueling duo since last month. He then urged his Snapchat followers to cop ‘both’ The Game’s 1992 and Meek Mill’s DC4 albums.
