The world's last surviving male northern white rhino has died after months of poor health, his carers say.

Sudan, who was 45, lived at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He was put to sleep on Monday after age-related complications worsened significantly.

His death leaves only two females - his daughter and granddaughter - of the subspecies alive in the world.

Hope for preserving the northern white rhino now lies in developing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) techniques.

"His death is a cruel symbol of human disregard for nature and it saddened everyone who knew him," said Jan Stejskal, an official at Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic, where Sudan had lived until 2009.

"But we should not give up," he added in quotes carried by AFP news agency.

"We must take advantage of the unique situation in which cellular technologies are utilised for conservation of critically endangered species. It may sound unbelievable, but thanks to the newly developed techniques even Sudan could still have an offspring."

Why is this kind of rhino so rare?

Rhinoceroses - of which there are five species - are the second-largest land mammal after elephants. The white rhinoceros consists of two sub-species: the southern white rhino and the much rarer and critically endangered northern white rhino.

Sudan, who was the equivalent of 90 in human years, was the last surviving male of the rarer variety after the natural death of a second male in late 2014.

The subspecies' population in Uganda, Central African Republic, Sudan and Chad was largely wiped out during the poaching crisis of the 1970s and 1980s. Poaching was fuelled by demand for rhino horn for use in traditional Chinese medicine, and for dagger handles in Yemen.

Sometime in 2015, as I was scrolling my Facebook feed, I saw " Chuks at Riyadh airport"

Chuks is my cousin whom the last time we spoke, was interning at Asaba federal medical centre.

Only last week, my Inlaw a medical doctor at lafia medical doctor announced to us that he's relocating to the kingdom with his wife and kids as he has been given a job offer in the oil rich country.

My curiosity is that why this mass exodus despite doctors acute shortage in Nigeria?

This is not true. Madam, goats do sweat too but the hairs on their body won't let you see it.

Forget what folks post online, it's a direct opposite of the reality most times. Money isn't the reason women say or should I say lie that they don't need a man, past experience is the cause most times.

Hey folks,

Recently I've come across cute, classy and working classy matured and to my greatest surprise some ain't in serious rshps even in their early 30s.

On the other hand, I see young undergraduate girls getting married.

Its safe to say that finding a husband is a thing of luck.

Good. PDP has captured middle belt ahead of 2019.

They should sweep SS, SE, a significant part of SW and Christian parts of NE.

The dullardd has just NW and some parts of NE

This implies a rise in poverty by 10%

What's good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Nigerian ladies love military weddings

That's what happens when you insist u must marry from ur tribe.

Do you know that blacks wed 3 times?

1. They do local traditional wedding

2. Court wedding (western)

3. White wedding (western)

These events gulp one's life savings and are mostly footed by the man leaving him in poverty afterwards.

It's time to challenge the status quo.

I can see Adolf Hitler and Albert Einstein

Is it advisable to change cpanel password after purchase from host?

A friend from a south east state who intend to marry a lady from plateau state is facing resistance from his family on grounds that they are prone to promiscuity.

In my opinion, it is an individual thingy, isnt it?
