The first time i heard of a black hole was in physics class when my teacher mentioned it as a passing remark during a gravity lesson. I was really Fascinated by this concept even if it seemed scary enough when i sat and thought of being gulped into eternal blackness by an all compelling gravitational pull which nothing is strong enough to rescue one from. WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?? National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) explains a black hole as a great amount of matter in space, compressed into a relatively smaller enclosure. This effect causes a heavy force of attraction or gravitational field that that is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even light. This phenomenon is likened to a very large star, larger than planet Earth forced to enter a space as small as one continent. A black hole core Seen By NASA Telescope Sit back as i take you through these mind blowing facts. (Please note that some of these concepts are really very complex, i will do my be...

On Good Friday, i was having a conversation with a friend who was expressing concern about someone she knows that wouldn't out rightly tell off ladies but he keeps them hanging on even when it is obvious he is done both emotionally and physically with them. This dilemma is not just common to men; women are also culprits in this. What ever the sex or the reasons, it is of utmost importance to know how and when to tell him or her it is over when you have nothing left in there for them. Fortunately, i was reading through some articles and i discovered this write up by Maria Montgomery of youqueen.com  that captures largely, many of the major reasons why most guys cannot tell a woman off ultimately and let her be.  1.They think they’re polite Some men have got it into their heads that it’s impolite to tell a woman that they don’t want to date her. They are scared of hurting her feelings. While they understand that the moment must come when they do tell her that they have no ...

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa: (SSA to PMB on Diaspora Matters) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, a three time Member of the house of reps and the current Senior Special Assistant to PMB on Diaspora matters has drawn fire from the ever conscious Nigerian social media community domiciled on twitter because of her unguided response to a Nigerian who simply demanded a reason to return to Nigeria from diaspora when the issues that caused him to leave have still not been fixed. Just yesterday, we were dealing with a junior minister's response to the suffering of Nigerians as regards fuel queues and scarcity, another APC change agent  Hon. Abike went out of line in her reply (or outburst) and hence drew massive fire from Nigerians.  Below are the twitter feeds of how the issue went down: User Onuoha David Tweeted and got this reply: Nigerians were quick to give it to her Another User Aminu Reacted to the Honorable's reply and even got this reply: Further Reactions follow....... In A swift move t...

10 Days after the Rivers state House of Assembly, House of Reps and Senatorial Elections, INEC is yet to release the results of the collated results. In what is seen as a move to use federal might to manipulate and doctor the already collated results, skeptical Nigerians have gotten impatient and tired of waiting indefinitely.

The steaming war of words within the APC party brewed from the a single statement issued by the national leader of the party Bola Ahmed Tinubu and titled:    “ KACHIKWU NEEDS TO KNOW THAT RESPECT AND GOOD PERFORMANCE WILL DO WHAT MAGIC CANNOT”  has left the party divided over  Dr. Ibe Kachikwu's position as the junior minister.

This alleged letter exchanged between  Inuwa Dahiru Bala a.k.a Yunusa Yellow first appeared on the Sun on March 19 2016. If there is any truth in this letter then the case may take a new turn. Inuwa Dahiru (yunusa) and Ese The letter sounds like what a 13 year old can write but giving a more  discerning  scope out of the letter in relation to the recent  maneuverings by the powers that be to subvert justice and let him go unpunished for his crime based on religious  interpretations of his actions, one begins to question the integrity of such a letter. Below is the unedited full text of the letter:    Dear, Inusa how are you? I hope you are fine and all is well with you? Please don’t be annoyed by these words but I think it is best for the both of us. Please please please don’t be annoyed I beg of you Inusa, maybe every­one just have to say the truth. I want to start by saying thank you for everything if accepted, thank you yanzu, I would s...

When the news first broke by Sahara reporters that there has been a large scale employment scam at the Central Bank of Nigeria, many people thought it was a way to score cheap political points from the opposition; this however has proved really true as actual names of beneficiaries of the hooded and shady employment has been brought to light. Big Wigs   Carry the Day Before this CBN Job racketeering news broke, the notable and vocal senator whom many from the opposition refer to as the tweetnator put up this tweet as shown below: The perpetrators did not let the senator land before going "Yeah that's true my guy" on him.

Donald Trump is the leading republican presidential candidate in the ongoing USA presidential campaigns. The real estate mogul and Billionaire has so far had a successful run up, one that has been immersed in controversies and unguided statements that depict racist and religious bigotry. Despite these antecedents however, Mr Trump has a large crowd of believers who have been known to be almost fanatical adherents to the Trump religion evident in the violence that routinely erupt at his rallies to oppose those that think otherwise.

The House of Assembly and Senatorial election rerun in Rivers State has generated much heat over the past few months. There have been unprovoked killings and clashes especially in Onelga, Eleme and Tai Local Government Councils. Military personal have been deployed in some of the councils to help keep the peace. Today however IGP Solomon Arase ordered the deployment of 3 Police Commissioners and 6000 police officers and men and 14 Units of Mobile Mopolice (MOPOL) to Rivers State to forestall electoral violence and quell the imminent violence brewing from several instances of verbal exchanges and unguided statements that have been traded in the media and on social networks. These Numbers are staggering. You want to ask is this a riot zone? Anyway if this deployment would secure the state and eliminate the blood shed on Saturday 19th March 2016 and enable voters to exercise the franchise, it is a welcome development.

I stumbled upon this post by  RANAMI AFAGHA and i would have wept but i remembered these words by Charlie Chaplin in the 1948 movie the great dictator: "  .......And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.    When government has become unaccountable, there is no change at all.  This is the disgrace Ex-governor Rotimi Amaechi meted out to himself and the APC government for being asked to give account of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration on love FM radio (97.7) Port Harcourt.

Please if anyone approaches you asking you to lend them your phone to make an urgent call decline.  Yes I know that there  are genuine  ones that have need but how do we know them? So to me prevention is better than  cure. Some time in January I went to the Fidelity ATM at Abuja campus University  of Port Harcourt to withdraw some money by some minutes past 9 pm.  As I was withdrawing my money a young man accosted me from a waiting vehicle pleading with me to let him use my phone to make a call to someone that he didn't have airtime on his phone and he could not withdraw nor recharge with his atm. Ever had that feeling where you really wanted to help someone but the Spirit in your spirit totally refuses that help from going forth from you.  I simply and politely declined him that help and moved away.
