This heartbreaking story is about as elephant Raju from India that had an incredibly rough life. After being poached from his mother he was thrown from one owner to another, until he was left living in terrible conditions with no shelter at night, being used as a beggars prop all day long. Raju survived only from passing tourists and sometimes had to eat plastic and paper while being chained 24 hours a day. A wildlife organisation SOS-UK could not stand the injustice and decided to save him in a daring midnight rescue operation. The elephant, realizing he was being saved, started to cry: “It was incredibly emotional. We knew in our hearts he realised he was being freed” – claims Pooja Binepal, one of the rescuers in an interview with Presspeople. “Tears began to roll down Raju’s face. Some no doubt were due to the pain but he also seemed to sense that change was coming. He felt hope for the first time” – says another rescuer Kartick. Raju spent his whole life in captivity entertaining tourists and guests of his owner. After realizing that his suffering will soon be over he cried tears of joy.https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/crying-elephant-raju-rescued-chained-50-years-4.jpg Elephants have a very large hippocampus, a brain structure linked to emotion which is much bigger than that of any human. While we are not 100% certain, scientific research supports the view that elephants weep as part of an emotional response. He spent 50 years being shackled in chains, sometimes having to eat plastic and paper to fill his stomach. https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/crying-elephant-raju-rescued-chained-50-years-2.jpgThankfully, after long years of suffering Raju was saved in a courageous midnight rescue operation by Wildlife SOS UK.Raju’s owner tried to prevent the rescue, putting chains on his legs and shouting commands to terrify him. But the rescuers stood their ground. As they did, tears began to roll down Raju’s face. “He felt hope for the first time”, says Kartrick. https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/crying-elephant-raju-rescued-chained-50-years-7.jpg |

Truly those nations learnt from us, look at how far Kenya Airways, Ethiopia Airlines, South Africa Airways and last but not the least, Emirates Airways have all gone! Don't forget about the Malaysia's angle too, it was said of how they came to Nigeria to learn and took just one palm away to their country and the rest is history; Nigeria is a joke. #Nigeria on the brink (apologies to CramJones). UchihaMadara: "Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and United Arab emirates have indicated interest in learning the magic from the very industrious Nigerians, now the towering pride of the black world." |
It's called, stomach infrastructure... Until we start thinking with our brain infrastructure, fresh air continues. egift: When Nigerians started thinking with their stomach. I just hope it changes soon.Thanks, you're the best. BTW: For your image to appear, modify your post and remove the "s" on the "https" on your link. |
It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled - Gautama Buddha. I was going through my Facebook page and I almost wept for my country when I saw the picture below how we used to be the envy of other countries in Africa and the world in general. https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10565047_10152566258649441_3919066606971670040_n.jpg I remembered my sister and her husband worked in Nigeria Airways, it was said that Nigerian leaders killed our national carrier which was then the pride of Africa with greed and selfishness when they started issuing free tickets to their girlfriends and family members to London, and other parts of the world. It was when that was not working again that they resulted to giving rebate which was like paying half of the cost of the ticket. Imagine the number of ministers, top military men, top police, customs, immigration officers, several DGs, chairmen of boards and parastatals, politicians, the airline officials and staff themselves all taking rebate, the who pays the balance? So, if the airline was this profitable. What on earth is wrong with Nigeria and how did we find ourselves in this mess? |
Very unfortunate, I tell you. #Nigeria on the brink (apologies to CramJones). caseless: 11. cluelessness : well, this has been found to be 'synonymous' to gej, that whenever we see the word 'clueless', we expect to see gej after it. |
I concur, the OP should also do the needful by removing that picture (it doesn't do her any justice) because of 'children' of Nairaland. Guykhena: |

Pinsure or nothing for your son ![]() xynerise: Superman |
Well said, but don't forget we're not partaking in World War III for crying out loud. We're all aware of the embarrassment caused by a GOC in Maiduguri not long ago when he diverted the fund meant for the troop to his personal use, so what is the assurance that same will not happen again and still go to private pockets. signz: Let's forget about politics and criticise objectively |
Oh my bad, it's suppose to be SUN and not MOON please. Can your son still answer the question? Who is the first man to land on the sun ![]() xynerise: My kid can answer that |
Gone with the fresh air of course! Jaideyone: What happened to the 1trillion naira defense budget? |
Is this amount of money justifiable for it to be used on BH crises at the detriment of critical infrastructures begging for upgrade? The 2015 election is fast approaching anyway and money must go round. |

The sunrise and sunset occur so regularly that we often take their consistency for granted. Though ordinary and expected in mind, in reality the Sun is essentially the sole reason for our survival as a race. To remind you just how cool our Sun is, we’ve rounded up the 20 most incredible sun facts: https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts.jpghttps://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts-sunrise.jpg https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts-solar-eclipse-over-time.jpg https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts-sunset-glow.jpg https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts-sunset-glow.jpg https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/sun-facts-temperature.jpg |

There are few events that captivate the world like the FIFA World Cup. And while the road to the 2014 tournament has been plagued with its fair share of civil unrest and World Cup controversies, these incidents have been largely overshadowed by worldwide excitement, incredible victories and hometown pride. The FIFA tournament has also had a huge impact on the art world. From metallic selfies to soccer ball paintings, this World Cup art is just as intriguing as the games themselves. https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/world-cup-art-poster-colombia.jpg Source: Sport LISM https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/world-cup-art-poster-usa.jpg Source: GeekWire https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/world-cup-art-poster-switzerland.jpg Source: Sport LISM https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/world-cup-art-emma-allen-trophy-image.jpg https://cdn.all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/world-cup-art-trophy-selfie.jpg Source: Simply Samad |
