It means thousands of this fish can power about 13 local governments in Kano.

The electric eels are a genus, Electrophorus, of neotropical freshwater fish from South America in the family Gymnotidae. They are known for their ability to stun their prey by generating electricity, delivering shocks at up to 860 volts. Their electrical capabilities were first studied in 1775, contributing to the invention in 1800 of the electric battery.

Electric eels can release in excess of 860 volts of electricity in short very intense bursts. They come from thousands of muscle cells that each create a tiny current. This is five times the voltage contained in a standard light socket. It's enough to paralyze alligators.

I am not sure a lot of Igbos like him and his approach. He introduced regime of fear using the equivalent of Yooba agberos in the SE to kill and maim, thus introducing fear in the people. In my place in the far East, we don't do sit at home on Mondays. People open shops and markets remain open. That's a day men go to the field to play football and retire to bars to drink. Somehow people got this impression that Igbos do this sit at home for the fun of it but this is far from the truth, just that no one wants to die in the hands of hoodlums who, we can't even be too sure are not imported killers from the army of Asari Dokubo

Former United States President, Donald Trump, has promised to carry out the largest deportation in the country's history if he wins re-election in the November 5 election.

The Republican presidential nominee made this known in a X-space conversation held by Elon Musk, which SaharaReporters monitored in the early hours of Tuesday.

Trump asserted that over 20 million immigrants have entered the country illegally, including individuals from prisons, mental institutions, and terrorist organisations.

He emphasised that the immigrants come from various regions, including South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and alleged that some are from countries currently supporting Hamas militants in the ongoing war against Israel in Gaza.

He said, “They (immigrants) have to come in legally. They have to be checked. I believe over 20 million people came into our country. Many coming from prisons, from mental institutions or a bigger version of that is insane asylums and many are terrorists and I will tell you that they are coming not just from South America. They are coming from Africa.

They are coming from all over the world. They are coming from Asia. They are coming from the Middle East. They are coming from countries that are stupidly and horribly bombing Israel on October 7th. We have a defective government.

“These are people that are jailed for murder and all sorts of things and they are releasing them into our country and they are telling them if you come back we gonna kill you. We are gonna give you the death penalty or kill you. These are criminals that make our criminals look like nice people.

“We are gonna have the largest deportation in history,” Trump declared.

Ukraine's top commander said on Monday Kyiv controlled around 1,000 square kilometers of Russia's Kursk region, his first public comments since Ukraine launched its biggest cross-border attack in almost two and a half years of full-scale war.

With Russia still struggling to repel the incursion seven days after it began, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy published a video clip of Oleksandr Syrskyi, the head of his armed forces, delivering a report on the fighting.

"We continue to conduct an offensive operation in the Kursk region. Currently, we control about 1,000 square kilometers of the territory of the Russian Federation," he said.

Zelenskiy said the meeting of top-level officials had ordered the preparation of a "humanitarian plan" for the area.

Russia's acting governor of Kursk region, Alexei Smirnov, said Ukraine controlled 28 settlements, and the incursion was about 12 km deep and 40 km wide.

In a statement, the Ukrainian leader said the defense ministry and diplomats has been ordered to present a list of "necessary actions" needed to secure permission from Kyiv's Western allies to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russia.

Defense Minister Rustem Umerov urged Paris earlier on Monday to lift the ban on Western weapons strikes on military targets in Russia during a call with French counterpart Sebastien Lecornu, the Ukrainian readout said. Reuters

The president being bIamed for everything is a sign that over 80% of Nigerians both young and old are ignorant, it doesn't matter if I didn't vote a president or not, I won't accuse him of what is not his responsibility.
BIaming the president is a sign of ignorance and clearly shows that most Nigerians have never seen or read the constitution.
Someone will blame the president for lack of water in his LGA, someone will blame the FG because their street doesn't have street lights.
Many Nigerians need to rid themselves of ignorance first before talking about restructuring.
Most of the people chanting restructuring can't even explain how the current system is supposed to work.
U can't blame the FG for the function of a LG chairperson and say it's because there's no restructuring, u can't blame FG for the function of a senator or HOR and say it's because there's no restructuring.
How many times has the three senators from Benue State vehemently presented the predicaments of the state in the red chamber?
What about those in the green chamber, what are they doing?
They are not doing anything about insecurity in Benue State but somehow, Tinubu should wake up one day and single out Benue State for growth.
I was driving through Benue and it felt like I was swimming in mud through the entire Benue State, even a part of the bridge on the river Benue was blocked, if the bridge is partially broken, I don't know, nobody from Benue is talking, the part of river Benue that links Benue and Taraba around Wukari don't have a bridge despite being a prominent route, the entire leaders in Benue has never deemed it fit to push the agenda of building a bridge along that route.
Benue don't have any sophisticated ICT center, etc etc etc etc.
Somehow, someone from Benue is blaming FG for every woe in Benue.
If u have good leaders, insecurity won't be ravaging u, ur leaders in various facets are the ones selling u, even roads they can't win to Benue State.
Get ur home front right and stop unnecessary blames, it won't save you.
