I even heard the place is very cold like Pankshi and Mangu in Plateau State. Is that true bro?

Ive never been there, but i heard something like that.


I think it's possible because of the location/elevation.

Besides the danger of falling, they also happen to be harvesting the honey of the largest honeybee in the world.

The Himalayan honey bee can grow to be up to 3 cm (1.2 in) in length.

Most of the nests are located on steep inaccessible, south-west facing cliffs to avoid predators and for increased exposure to direct sunlight.

The hunyers carry their equipment to the cliff where they will forage for honeycomb

First the group collects foliage to make huge fires to smoke out the honeybees from their hives.

Once the bees are driven off and sedated, the dozen or so hunters begin to harvest the outsides of the hives.

The Nepalese tribes say the most difficult job isthe 'cutter' the beige suit-wearing men who climb up a 50-meter rope ladder that’s been secured at the top and bottom of the cliff.

They then uses two bamboo sticks, known as tangos, to gather the honey.

With one he slices at the exposed honeycomb while using he uses the other to catch the falling honeycomb.


Honey hunting is among the oldest known human activities.

There is an 8,000-year-old cave painting in Spain that portrays aman climbing vines to collect honey.


The honey hunters use sharpened bamboo poles toslice through the honeycomb before dropping it to the ground for others to collect

An award-winning UK based travel photographer, captured gripping photographs of central Nepalese tribe members engaged in a dangerous and ancient tradition honey hunting.



For most of us, a pot of golden honey is only a supermarket away.

But for these people of Nepal, gathering the sweet stuff involves a death-defying climb on home-made ladders and a four hour mission to extract the precious nectar.

To make matters worse, the daredevil hunters come under attack from swarms of the world's largest bee while perching 250ft up the side of a cliff.

Twice a year, the honey hunters ascend to the base of cliffs in central Nepal and ascend them to collect honey.

They use the same tools that their ancestors did hand woven rope ladders and tangos, the long sharp bamboo poles that they use to cut the honey filled hives off of the face of the cliff and drop them into baskets waiting below.

After lighting smoke fires at the base of the cliff to smoke out the bees, they climb their ladders and collect their honey.

Which country is this please, see levels, hopefully I would be there someday

NCANpatroller:
Ehen?
So what seems to be the problem?
Submerged phones eventually work how much more cars.
I can bet that most of those Submerged cars are beta than the 80 percent of the cars on nigeria roads.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves
How many can afford new cars in nigeria?
No credit facilty system in nigeria to make life easy.
I tire for this country

About 80% cant afford new cars here and that's why they go for used/tokunbo cars because they're cheaper.

Even some of these tokunbo cars we're buying if not most are salvaged vehicles, accident but with light damages(Damaged bumpers, doors, lamps, windshield, hail etc and they get them fixed easily)


But i think flooded/submerged cars comes with the most risks.


How long was the car under the water?

Those cars stayed days submerged

The longer the vehicle remained submerged, the greater the damage.

What kind of water flooded the car?

If it was salt water, the corrosion will occur much more aggressively than if it was fresh water.

Following a flood disaster occasioned by Hurricane Harvey in Texas, United States of America, insurance companies who have taken possession of assets designated mostly as scrap will need to figure out how to get the best of whatever is left of the value of the assets.


Top on the items of assets to dispose of will be motor vehicles that have been submerged for days under devastating floods.


As was the case with Hurricane Katrina and Sandy, the route to market for these cars will be via the salvage auction.


Nigeria is said to be among the top destination for salvage cars from the US and also ranks as one of the top export destinations for used cars in the US.


In fact, another data put the value of recent used vehicle export to Nigeria at about $99 million.


National Daily gathered that Nigerians are already gearing up to purchase thousands of these cars that will be sent to the salvage auctions by the insurance companies.


According to one account, the cars could be bought as cheap as $1000 in these auctions and will be purchased and shipped to Nigeria for repairs and resale.


Some of the cars which have perhaps been damaged beyond repair are often dismantled and their parts removed and resold as second-hand items.


While some of these cars are expected to be cheap and within the reach of millions of working class Nigerians.


Experts believe cars salvaged from natural disasters such as floods are hardly ever okay.


They opine that the damage done to the electrical parts of the cars are irreparable and will cost eventual owners hundreds of thousands of naira in incessant repairs till they are sold off to another innocent onlooker.


Also rust to other parts of the vehicles will also lead to incessant repairs reducing the value faster than any other reason.


To avoid being a victim, it is advisable to check National Motor VehicleTitle Information System, a database of the status of cars populated insurance companies and states.


The website is freely accessed and can be used to verify the historicalstatus of vehicles, especially those that may have been ravaged by floods.


Nigerians can access this website to check the status of cars bought second-hand, especially those bought later this year and early next year.

WHAT PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH TOLD PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON



Dear Bill,


When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago.

I know you will feel that, too.

I wish you great happiness here.

I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.

There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair.

I'm not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage you or push you off course.

You will be our President when you read this note.

I wish you well.

I wish your family well.

Your success now is our country's success.

I am rooting hard for you.


Good Luck

George

WHAT PRESIDENT CLINTON TOLD PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH


Dear George,



Today you embark on the greatest venture, with the greatest honor, that can come to an American citizen.


Like me, you are especially fortunate to lead our country in a time of profound and largely positive change, when old questions, not just about the role of government, but about the very nature of our nation, must be answered a new.


You lead a proud, decent, good people.


And from this day you are President of all of us.


I salute you and wish you success and much happiness.

The burdens you now shoulder are great but often exaggerated.

The sheer joy of doing what you believe is right is inexpressible.

My prayers are with you and your family.


Godspeed.

Sincerely,

Bill

WHAT PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH TOLD PRESIDENT OBAMA



Dear Barack,


Congratulations on becoming our President.

You have just begun a fantastic chapter in your life.

Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel.

Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face.

There will be trying moments.

The critics will rage.

Your "friends" will disappoint you.

But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me.

No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you now lead.



God bless you.

Sincerely,

GW

Two days later President Trump held the letter up for all to see, though said he wouldn't let the reporters in the room know what advice President Obama had given to him.





WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WROTE PRESIDENT TRUMP



Dear Mr. President


Congratulations on a remarkable run.

Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.

This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't knowthat any advice from me will be particularly helpful.

Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.


First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky.

It's up to us to do everything we can to build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.


Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable.

It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.


Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office.


That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties that our forebears fought and bled for.


Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.


And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family.


They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.


Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.



Good luck and Godspeed,

Barrack Obama

The contents of the letter President Obama wrote giving advice to President Trump have now been revealed.
