abiodunalasa: This statement shows you know nothing about football. You claim to be a madridista but you don't even know Jupp Heynckes won the CL for Madrid in '98. He's one of only 5 managers to win the CL with two different clubs. That's the person you are insulting. By the way what Mundial in Brazil are you talking about? He never managed any team at the world cup. He was in retirement then and just came out to save Ancelotti's mess. He is a managerial legend even Alex Ferguson admitted to copying some of his tactics and helped finetune his Man Utd squad in the late nineties. You are a kid who knows nothing in football. You are either an agbero with a smartphone or a very small boy that started supporting Madrid after C. Ronaldo & bet9ja. 7 Likes |

Crime / 13 Truck Drivers Line Up Under Bridge To Stop Man From Committing Suicide by GeeString: 10:28am On Apr 25, 2018 |
The Michigan State Police, along with the help of 13 semi truck drivers, organized an inventive way to save a man who was contemplating suicide on a highway overpass on Tuesday. WJBK reports that officials first received a call about a man threatening to jump off a bridge over Interstate-696 on Tuesday morning at around 1 a.m. After successfully blocking off all lanes of traffic on the highway below, Michigan State troopers allowed 13 semi truck drivers through the barricade and instructed them to park their vehicles side by side underneath the overpass. This way, if the man tried to jump off the bridge, the wall of trucks would help shorten his fall. The Michigan State Police took to Twitter later that day to share a photo of their clever maneuver and to urge those who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts to seek help. "This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to serve the public," the department wrote. "But also in that photo is a man struggling with the decision to take his own life. Please remember help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255." "You can also call a loved one, member of the clergy or 911," the department wrote in a subsequent tweet. "There are so many people that can help you make the choice to get help and live! It is our hope to never see another photo like this again." Negotiators spoke with the man for several hours after the wall of trucks was put into place, according to WJBK. Eventually, he was talked down from the overpass and transported to Beaumont Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan, for medical evaluation. https://www.yahoo.com/news/13-semi-truck-drivers-line-200856036.html lalasticlala, seun

Crime / What Is The Difference Between The "Black" Police & "Blue" Police In Nigeria? by GeeString: 2:04pm On Apr 24, 2018 |
I'm curious. I've always noticed and never bothered to find out but today I really want to know. Any policeman/woman in the house to school me? Do they serve a different purpose? My gut tells me the black guys are the uneducated rough ones with limited ranks and the blue ones are higher ups most likely graduates with potential for growth. Plus the blue ones always look neater than their black counterparts. I may be wrong...

Science/Technology / Scientists Accidentally Create A Plastic-eating Enzyme by GeeString: 10:21am On Apr 18, 2018 |
A Japanese waste dump is an unlikely location for what may be a huge breakthrough in the plastics pollution crisis. But back in 2016, a team of Japanese scientists sifting through plastic waste found bacteria capable of breaking down and “eating” one of the world’s most popular plastics ― polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. It was hailed as a potential breakthrough at the time. But in a new twist, British and Americanscientists have announced that while studying this bacteria, they accidentally created a mutant enzyme that’s even more efficient at breaking down plastic bottles. The discovery came as a team of scientists from the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the U.S. examined an enzyme produced by the Japanese bacteria to find out more about its structure. By shining intense beams ofX-rays on it, 10 billion times brighter than the sun, they were able to see individual atoms. Manipulating the structure to better understand how it worked, they accidentally engineered the mutant enzyme. “Serendipity often plays a significant role in fundamental scientific research and our discovery here is no exception,” said John McGeehan, a biology professor at the University of Portsmouth and one of the lead scientists on the research. “This unanticipated discovery suggests that there is room to further improve these enzymes, moving us closer to a recycling solution for the ever-growing mountain of discarded plastics.” The researchers, who published their findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, are now working to further improve the enzyme so it can be used on an industrial scale. “The engineering process is much the same as for enzymes currently being used in bio-washing detergents and in the manufacture of biofuels ― the technology exists,” said McGeehan. It’s possible that within the next few years there could be an industrially viable process for turning PET into other substances or back into its “original building blocks” so it can be sustainably recycled, he added. The ability to scale up the process will be crucial. Plastic pollution is fast becoming one of the biggest environmental issues of our time. The mass-produced material is ubiquitous: More than 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. That’s more than 16,000 every second. Most of these bottles are made from PET, which can take up to 400 years to biodegrade, and many are littering the oceans. Around 8 million tons of plastics enter the oceans each year. PET is relatively easy to recycle, but over half of global PET waste is not collected for recycling, according to research from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and only 7 percent of bottles are recycled into new bottles (most go into lower-value products). Some companies that rely on PET have committed to do more. Coca-Cola, for example, which produces more than 100 billion plastic bottles a year, according to Greenpeace, has promised to increase the recycled content of its bottles 50 percent by 2020. But progress is slow, partly because big businesses have aesthetic concerns about bottles made from 100-percent recycled plastic. The newly discovered enzyme promises to recycle plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles, which would require much less virgin plastic. Some environmentalists and scientists say the breakthrough, though promising, is nowhere near enough to solve our pollution crisis. “These enzymes are not abundantly present in nature, so you would need to produce the enzyme first, then add it to the PET plastic to degrade it,” Wim Soetaert, head of the Industrial Biotechnology Centre at the University of Ghent, pointed out. “This is likely to be a slow process. If you have gone through the trouble of collecting the PET waste, then there are clearly far better ways to recycle it or burn it for energy.” He suggested the use of commercially available biodegradable bioplastics would be a better bet. Greenpeace’s senior oceans campaigner Louise Edge pointed to a desperate need to change recycling and consumption systems on a much wider scale. “What we really need are system changes to reduce the volume of throwaway plastic packaging and make sure plastic drinks bottles are collected and separated effectively,” said Edge. “An enzyme alone can’t clean up the complex and widespread legacy of plastic pollution that we have already created.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-accidentally-create-plastic-eating-145041861.html 1 Share

Romance / Re: Why Are Men Scared Of Getting Married? by GeeString: 8:28am On Apr 18, 2018 |
Ladyhippolyta88: Well, harsh as it may sound, I just typed the reality love. Nigerian women did nothing to me. I have compared my interactions with Nigerian & foreign women (even Africans) - its totally different. The Nigerian woman is more interested in mundane, material things while the foreign ones are interested in your personality. I typed based on my own personal experience & observation & I went to sleep. No bias. Never knew this will generate this much buzz - over 30 mentions of varying opinions (& insults). Honestly, I'm no good at online arguments & exchanges. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion including me. I'm replying you cuz you & I have some sort of relationship here.

I won't go into any long sermon on this I'll just speak from personal experience. No Nigerian woman is worth the trouble ahead. Infidelity is a serious Nigerian girl issue and it won't leave after marriage rather it will only get worse since her lifelong ambition has been fulfilled and she is now at peace. Nigerian girls are materialistic and selfish. They do not truly understand the term "love". Every Nigerian girl 25 & above has engaged in prostitution of some sort be it openly or 'coded'. There are corporate oloshos now sef. By prostitution I mean sleeping with a man for financial gain. They are just not worth it. I seriously doubt if I'll ever get married to a Nigerian girl. I'll have two kids from 2 different women & that's it. Quote me & bash me but kindly produce counter-points or disprove my points while you do so. Oh & lest I forget I have no sisters & my mom is late too. Goodnight. 393 Likes 35 Shares |

unknownsolja: Lol. You are the ignorant one here sir. This issue affects you in EVERY way whether you like it or not. Till today, Nigeria is feeling the after-effects of this crisis which led to an increase in global oil prices shortly before Goodluck Jonathan left. This led to a weakened naira, inflation and consequently, recession. Global oil prices were deliberately raised in a bid to deter Europe from buying Russian oil. Note that Russia is Europe's largest gas supplier. The US plan was to supply Europe with cheap Saudi/UAE oil cutting off Russia's major source of income & influence hence the pipeline that started the Syria War. So my brother, if you think this doesn't affect you, you're dreaming. You actually need to pay closer attention to this & ignore those your Buhari, Tinubu, IBB & co because they are powerless. When they tell you, we're modern day slaves to the whiteman you think say na play. They practically control us because we allow them. 4 Likes |

Goahead: Useless & lame excuse. So a dictator would just wake up & gas people who pose absolutely no threat to him when there are armed rebels everywhere to be killed? Assad uses conventional weapons on his bitter enemies & rebels successfully, why would he want to upgrade to chemical weapons when he could easily bomb these innocent people with the same conventional weapons? Use your brain na. Who certified Iran the "largest sponsor of terror"? CNN? Finally, why are islamic countries like Indonesia not killing people for the fun of it? 1 Like |

Efewestern: Yep. All these are efforts to frustrate Russia's world cup host in June since they were unable to wrest the hosting rights from Putin after masterminding the removal of Blatter & Platini. Suddenly, Russia has interfered with US elections (a shame if it were to be true), Russia has poisoned a former double spy & now Russia is assisting Assad to gas his own people in a war he has won hands down since November 2016. They underestimate Putin still. He's probably still calm because they are yet to touch him directly. Once that happens, I can assure you that the strongman of Kremlin will turn US soil to nuclear glass. |

heendrix: The US prides itself in being the world's "watchdog". Israel capitalized on that. They know the US must interfere after such attack whether the evidence is sufficient or not. Plus they gain Israel's unflinching support in the region. Israel is their only willing ally there. Saudi is only aligned with them for the money. If they pull out and abandon Israel, they'll be done for in a few years. That's their gain. Now let me ask you my own question. Why would Assad gas his people? 2 Likes |

Cowards. No enlightened person can fall for this scam. Only fools. Why were these strikes carried out BEFORE the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) inspectors can garner evidence about the alleged chemical attacks? Its clearly to cover up their tracks & destroy evidence. The West has accused Assad of gassing his people (again) without evidence. The last time this happened, the chemical weapons manufactured in the US was found on rebels bankrolled by Saudi Arabia through the CIA to fight Assad. The apprehended rebels claimed they were handed a package & didn't know it contained chemical weapons (yet they used it 2 kill hundreds ). The US role in this chemical attack was on the spotlight. In a flash, this revelation was buried. (google more on this fact) This time, Syria & Russia provided evidence that the chemical attacks were carried out by rebels (backed by the US) in a bid to blackmail Assad. OPCW was invited to carry out proper investigations about the true origin of the chemical weapons only for the West to carry out these attacks hastily. What are they hiding? Where did all these originate from? Lets go back a bit... Last week Trump hinted at pulling US forces of out Syria finally. Who stood to lose from this? Syria's Middle Eastern enemy - Israel. Mere days after Trump's words, Israel bombed a Syrian airbase on the laughable excuse that Iran (their archenemy) was using the airbase for operations. 5 out of the 8 missiles fired were downed by Syrian air defence. This didn't elicit any major response from Trump so what happened next? A chemical attack on civilians in the last city held by rebels (backed by the US & co). Next thing we know, Trump will remain in Syria to fight. What does this tell us? Israel stands to lose alot if US troops pull out of Syria & probably carried out this attack on innocent Syrians in a bid to keep their diabolical desire for warfare ongoing. Absence of US troops in the region would lead to lran (whose influence has risen greatly in the region) to finally have the upper hand and most likely help reclaim Golan Heights from Israel. Israel would be alone in this fight so it makes perfect sense why they would mastermind a dastardly attack of this calibre to keep their most powerful ally around them. Ask yourselves... Why would Assad be stupid enough to gas his people which makes absolutely no sense because he has already won the war. 18 Likes 1 Share |
