A Saudi groom has divorced his bride on their wedding night after seeing her face for the first time when the photographer asked them to pose for pictures. The couple, from the Western Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other despite having not met face to face - a popular custom in certain Middle Eastern countries. But when the bride removed her veil and smiled for the camera, her new husband leapt to his feet in disgust. According to local daily Okaz, the bride immediately collapsed in a fit of tears as panicked wedding guests stepped in to try to resolve the dispute. But their efforts were to no avail. 'The groom said he had not been able to see his bride's face before marriage,' Okaz reported. 'When he divorced her, the bride collapsed and the wedding turned into a night of tears.' News of the jilting was met with anger on social media. Afra wrote on one social media network: 'He caused her great pain through his irresponsible attitude, and he deserves to suffer. 'He should appreciate that beauty is in the character, not the face. 'Unfortunately, many young people today are interested only in looks and ignore values and morals. 'May God give her a better husband who will appreciate her for who and what she is.' Abu Nass added: 'He is not man enough to assume his responsibilitie s. He is totally, completely insensitive. 'Nobody has forced him to marry her. He should have insisted on seeing her before the wedding and the engagement, and not wait until the wedding night. 'May he always be a loser and may he be deprived of getting married at all. He is not a man and he lacks basic feelings. |
[b]Despite limited financial resources, Africans are spending an estimated $7 billion on their hair, Media reports. According to Euromonitor International, people in South Africa, Nigeria and Cameroon alone spend about $1.1 billion on hair care products. That includes shampoo, lotions and relaxers. The amount of money brought in by fake hair far outpaces that number, though. Reportedly, the dry hair (aka weaves, wigs and extensions) industry is estimated to be around $ 6 billion a year. The African hair industry has become so big that Unilever now has salon in Johannesburg boasting its full line of Motions products. Then there’s L’Oreal, which is looking to do more research into African hair and skin as it expands its Dark And Lovely line of relaxers and other products. L’Oreal also has factories South Africa and Kenya, the turn out about half of the products it ships all over Africa. Much of this growth has gone in just the last 10 years according to L’Oreal South Africa Managing Director Bertrand de Laleu. “African women are probably the most daring when it comes to hair styles,” Bertrand told Reuters. He implied that the adventurous is a result of how much more accessible different options are. “Suddenly you can play with new tools that didn’t exist or were unaffordable.” Kabir Mohamed, managing director of South Africa’s Buhle Braids pointed out that just in South Africa, there are over 100 different brands of hair, bumping the market in the one country to $600 million! The majority of the hair sold in Africa comes from Asia and is made of cheaper, synthetic fibers. Natural hair is offered, but it costs quite a bit more money–this is not a shock to weave connoisseurs. Shelling out big bucks to get your hair done isn't a new thing to black women stateside. As of 2013, Mintel market research found that the Black hair care industry was a $684 million market . That estimate wildly inflates to $500 billion if extensions and sales from independent suppliers are included[/b] |

Below are 10 facts about Earth, some of which were mentioned on LiveScience, some of which I made up researched on my own. 1. At its equator, Earth rotates at a speed of 1,037.6 miles per hour. Yet no one at the equator has ever flown off! For this they can thank gravity. 2. As it orbits the Sun, Earth travels through space at a speed of 66,660 miles per hour. 3. Universe Today puts Earth's weight at 5.97 sextillion tons. But there's some debate about whether Earth is gaining or losing mass. 4. Earth is 4.55 billion years old (and 6,000 years old for the delusional). 5. Earth's distance from the Sun varies, but on average it is 92.96 million miles away. 6. Nearly 71% (70.8%, to be exact) of the Earth's surface is covered by water, of which 97% is salt water. (Ecology.com) 7. How many people have ever lived on Earth? No one knows for sure, of course, but the Population Reference Bureau took a stab at an answer and came up with 108 billion. Which means with a current world population of about 7 billion, about 6.5% of the people who have ever lived are alive today. 8. About 85% of the Earth's deserts are comprised not of sand, but rocks and gravel, according to Listverse. 9. There are 8.7 million species on Earth, according to estimates published in 2011. Of those, 6.5 million species are land-based, with 2.2 million living in water. 10. Earth has one permanent moon, but frequently hosts tiny, temporary moons , says the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii.

1) Nigeria is home to seven percent (7%) of the total languages spoken on earth. Taraba state alone has more languages than 30 African countries. 2) The Walls of Benin (800-1400AD), in present day Edo State, are the longest ancient earthworks in the world, and probably the largest man-made structure on earth. They enclose 6500 square kilometers of community lands that connected about 500 communities. At over 16000km long, it was thought to be twice the length of the Great Wall of China, until it was announced in 2012 (after five years of meticulous measurement by Chinese surveyors) that the Great Wall is about 21,000km long. 3) The Yoruba tribe has the highest rate of twin births in the world. Igbo- Ora, a little town in Oyo state, has been nicknamed Twin capital of the World because of its unusually high rate of twins that is put as high as 158 twins per 1000 births. 4) Sarki Muhammad Kanta The Great of Kebbi, was the only ruler who resisted control by Songhai, West Africa’s greatest empire at that time. He founded and ruled the Hausa city-state of Kebbi around 1600 A.D and built Surame its capital, a planned city which was almost impossible to penetrate during war. In fact UNESCO describes Surame as “one of the wonders of human history, creativity and ingenuity”, and probably the most massive stone- walled constructions in West Africa. He is listed in Robin Walker’s 50 Greatest Africans. 5) The Jos Plateau Indigobird, a small reddish-brown bird, is found nowhere else on the planet but Plateau state, Nigeria. 6) The Niger Delta (which is the second largest delta on the planet), has the highest concentration of monotypic fish families in the world, and is also home to sixty percent of Nigeria’s mangrove forests. You should know too that Nigeria’s mangrove forests are the largest in Africa and third largest on earth. 7) According to the World Resources Institute, Nigeria is home to 4,715 different types of plant species, and over 550 species of breeding birds and mammals, making it one of the most ecologically vibrant places of the planet. Ile-Ife, in present day OsunState, was paved as early as 1000AD, with decorations that originated from Ancient America suggesting there might have been contact between the Yorubas and the Ancient Americans half a millenium before Columbus ‘discovered’ America. 9) Sungbo’s Eredo, a 160 km rampart equipped with guard houses and moats, is reputed to be the largest single pre-colonial monument (or ancient fortification if you like) in Africa. It is located in present-day Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State and when it was built a millennium ago, it required more earth to be moved during construction than that used for building the Great Pyramid of Giza (one of the Seven Wonders of The Ancient World). The most astonishing thing is that Sungbo’s Eredo was the biggest city in the world (bigger than Rome and Cairo) during the Middle Ages when it was built! 10) The Anambra waxbill, a small bird of many beautiful colours, is found only in Southern Nigeria and nowhere else on earth. |
Nowadays many android phone users use the inbuilt “pattern locks” as a security to their phones. But the main problem with it is that, if you forget the pattern you used and you try out many wrong attempts, it gets locked permanently. So, just follow these simple steps to unlock pattern locks on your android device and use it again free of cost. Steps to be followed : Unlock using Google Account : If you don’t have data connection or internet access or if you don’t have your google account linked to your phone, then, you can skip this step and refer the Additional TRICK. When you try different patterns and unable to unlock your phone in five attempts. Then a message pop-up and shows two buttons “next” and “try again”. Now click on “next” button and you see two options for unlocking phone. One is answer the security question and the second option is to provide Google account details. Mostly people don’t set a security question. But if you set it then simply answer the question and unlock your device quickly. Otherwise check the Google account option and click “next”.Now provide your Google account username and password attached with your device and click on “sign in”. After that you are directed to choose new pattern and now you can unlock with this pattern. Additional TRICK: NOTE: This method deletes all your data and apps. The following steps are intended for both rooted and non-rooted android devices. For rooted phones, patterns can be unlocked even without factory reset which we will be updating later on after thorough verifications. 1) Switch off the phone. 2) Now hold these buttons all together at the same time “Volume up + Home Key + Power Button” until the phone boots (if you device doesn’t have a home button just hold together volume up key and power key) 3) Now a screen like DOS will come up with different options 4) Use the volume key to move up and down then scroll down to “Restore Factory Defaults” or “Delete all User Data” depending on which is on your device. Select this factory reset option and then press power button to let the action begin. Now it asks you for confirmation, select “yes”. 5) After clicking on the settings above, now scroll down to “Reboot System Now” and wait for your phone to reboot (restart). Now your phone will reboot and all lock patterns have been removed and your device will now in its default settings.

Mr Compaore had earlier said he would step down after a 12-month transitional government had ended. However, the opposition continued to demand that he resign, angry at his attempts to amend the constitution and extend his 27-year rule. On Thursday, protesters set fire to parliament and government buildings. |

Sick of waiting an hour for your phone to charge before you leave the house? Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have come up with the best solution yet - a lithium ion battery that charges to 70 percent in just two minutes. Even better, it also lasts for 20 years, and will reportedly be available to the public within two years. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are already common in our mobile phones, tablets and laptops - but most only last around 500 recharge cycles, which is around two to three years of typical use. And at the moment batteries take around two hours to fully charge. The new battery drastically improves this process, and will allow you to charge your phone while you look for your keys on the way out the door. It would also help make electric vehicles a more viable alternative to fossil-fuel- powered cars, by reducing battery replacement costs and allowing drivers to recharge their cars in minutes. “Electric cars will be able to increase their range dramatically, with just five minutes of charging, which is on par with the time needed to pump petrol for current cars,” said Professor Chen Xiaodong who led the study, in a press release. “Equally important, we can now drastically cut down the toxic waste generated by disposed batteries, since our batteries last 10 times longer than the current generation of lithium- ion batteries.” The breakthrough came after the scientists replaced the traditional graphite that makes up the anode (the negative pole of the battery) in lithium- ion batteries with a new gel material made from titanium dioxide nanotubes that they created themselves. These nanotubes are a thousand times thinner than a human hair, and they speed up the rate at which electrons and ions can transfer in and out of the batteries, allowing for super-fast charging. They also allow more energy to be packed into the batteries. This means that the battery can now offer 10,000 charging cycles, instead of the usual 500. Even better, the new batteries will be relatively cheap, as titanium dioxide is inexpensive and already readily available in soil. The team has published details on how they formed the titanium dioxide gel in Advanced Materials, and have already had the technology licensed to eventually produce the devices. They expect they’ll be on the market within two years. We literally can’t wait. Source: Nanyang Technological University |
Nigerians’ craze for higher education abroad is common knowledge. In 2012, a non-governmental organization, Exam ethics international said that Nigeria loses over N1.5 trillion to foreign education annually with neighbouring Ghana alone getting about N160 billion as tuition fees for the over 71,000 students studying there. On one end, the declining standard of education and strikes are one of the major reason enough for Nigerian students search for greener pastures abroad However in a recent times, we have heard of cases of Nigerian students were kidnapped or killed in some of these countries but we still have increasing exodus of Nigerian students to these countries so i ask, why do Nigerians prefer foreign education? what suggestions can we proffer to stem the tide? how can we improve the standards of education in the Nigeria especially facilities in government owned schools? |
