On October 28, 1726, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels was first published in London, introducing readers to one of the most imaginative and influential works in literary history. Published anonymously under the guise of a travel memoir, the novel follows Lemuel Gulliver on four extraordinary voyages to fantastical lands, including Lilliput, inhabited by people just six inches tall, and Brobdingnag, a kingdom of giants. But beneath its adventurous storytelling lay something far more provocative. Swift used these imaginary societies to deliver a biting satire of 18th-century politics, human nature, scientific ambition, and the absurdities of European society. The book was an immediate sensation, with its first edition selling out within a week. Over the following three centuries, it would inspire countless adaptations, illustrations, films, and generations of writers. Swift’s masterpiece continues to be one of the most beloved and enduring classics of English literature, a testament to Swift’s extraordinary imagination and storytelling. Three centuries later, it remains a true masterpiece of world. #history #onthisday #gulliverstravels #books

The Official Commissioning of the First Robotic Surgery Academy in Africa at Redeemer’s Health Village by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, marks a significant milestone in the advancement of surgical education and healthcare in Nigeria. Established through a collaboration between Redeemer’s Health Village, Robomed Global, Redeemer’s University and the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, the RHV–Robomed Robotics Academy is set to transform how robotic surgery training is delivered across the continent. For the first time, aspiring robotic surgeons in Africa can access structured training and certification on the continent, with the programme recognised as a postgraduate course in Nigeria and certification from the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria. Previously, surgeons seeking robotic surgery certification had to pursue training opportunities outside Africa. This development represents a major step towards building local expertise, expanding access to specialised surgical training and preparing the next generation of surgeons to harness the possibilities of robotic-assisted surgery. Applications open by January 2027 All Glory to God! #RedeemersHealthVillage #RHVRobomedRoboticsAcademy #RoboticSurgery #RCCG #RoboticsAcademyInAfrica #SurgicalTraining

silibaba:Sorry, calling someone a "working (sic) corpse" is a positive salutation and not a curse, right? |
Stephen0mozzy:In your cycle (of dead souls) , it's sad and quite tormenting to confront your nonsense with truth |

Stephen0mozzy:I expected this most eediotic usual prayer prayed to a moribund god who doesn't have rules but accepts anything thrown at it. Tomorrow when (if) the devil dies, your like will still write this useless and thoughtless "RIP" for him. How can those who committed SELF MURDER rest in peace? |
FreeStuffsNG:Christian/Muslim? What determines who a Christian is? |
P1PrinceKT:Public execution of those who profess anything else other than Mohammed and his moon god, allah. Executing graped victims just because they're helpless women and are gagged from effective defence while their assailants are walking free like your profet did.... That's not what is obtainable in hell. Never! |

Pastor Chris Recounts Experience With Esama Of Benin As Igbinedion Renames IUO Teaching Hospital After Him Chief Igbinedion while speaking at the convocation said the teaching hospital is now to be called Pastor Dr Chris Oyakhilome Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital in recognition of his sterling qualities “and significant contribution to the upliftment of mankind and your exceptional devotion to the healing ministry" My heart was full of joy just to see him today. I met him for the first time in 2019. If you ever lived in Benin City, there is no way you wouldn’t have known about Chief Igbinedion, we grew up knowing his name and then in 2019, I got a message that: Chief Igbinedion wants to see you, I asked if he wants to see me? I was in South Africa so I thought maybe there was a miscommunication, so I asked many questions to be sure. “We set a date, and he came, Chief was in a wheel chair, he has been incapacitated, when he came, he couldn’t walk he said my knees, I looked at him, we sat together, I sat close to him. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, I PUT MY HANDS ON HIS KNEES, he has faith like a child, HE GOT UP, walked out of that place to his car. I went to visit him afterwards, he has been singing praises to God in this place, he has been leading in the songs of praise, maybe you don’t know why a man like this will be thinking so much about God, he received the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues so you are looking at a man who is filled with the Holy Spirit and he speaks and prays in other tongues, that is the man you are seeing.” Speaking on his perception of Igbinedion, Oyakhilome said “I went to visit him and when I left him, I discovered something that I have told others, I have spoken about him to others and today, he only further amplified my thoughts. “I said I met this man, the most excellent, most elegant and most humble man that I have ever met and I am serious. “I have never met somebody more excellent, elegant and at the same time so humble and I am praying that we looking at you and receiving so much from you will take what you have imparted the world with because I was especially touched by you and today I have been seriously impacted by you, I didn’t just receive an award. I thank you for the award but I received more, much love from you. I thank you for this school, I thank you for what you have done, I am amazed you put my name in the teaching hospital.” https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1beu7YYrTc/

The Israeli who designed University of Ife campus When Nigeria was approaching independence in 1960, the Western Region already had an unusually strong commitment to mass education. But its leaders believed that primary and secondary education alone were not enough. The region needed its own university, particularly one capable of producing the scientists, engineers, administrators and professionals required for a modern society. The Federal Government's Ashby Commission had recommended expansion of university education, but there was disagreement about how many new universities Nigeria needed and where they should be located. Chief Obafemi Awolowo and the Western Regional Government wanted a university that would not merely copy the colonial institutions left behind by the British. They wanted something extraordinary. A committee was set up chaired by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Several towns were considered before Ile-Ife emerged as the preferred site. On October 24, 1960, Premier Ladoke Akintola formally announced the decision to establish "Ife University, Nigeria." Surprisingly, the committee looked to Israel for a design. An Israeli architect named Arieh Sharon was brought into the project. Sharon was no ordinary architect. He had studied at the legendary Bauhaus school in Germany, one of the world's most influential centres of modern architecture. In May 1961, Sharon came to Nigeria and began planning the new university at Ile-Ife in the ancient spiritual and cultural centre of the Yoruba people. Sharon had a different idea. He did not simply plant European buildings on Nigerian soil. He designed around the African sun, the tropical climate, the landscape and the environment. Buildings rose among the greenery. Walkways provided shade. Open spaces connected the different parts of the university. Slowly, something magnificent began to emerge including: Oduduwa Hall. The library. The faculty buildings. The wide pedestrian spaces. The distinctive geometric architecture. What was being created was more than a university. It was a statement that a newly independent Nigeria could build institutions with a character of their own. The university eventually moved from its temporary home in Ibadan to the permanent campus at Ile-Ife. And generations of students would later give the place a name that needed no explanation: GREAT IFE. Sharon worked with AMY Ltd., his partner Benjamin Idelson, and later his son Eldar Sharon. Nigerian architects were also involved, including A. A. Egbor and other members of the Nigerian professional team. The University of Ife had begun operating in Ibadan in 1962, while its permanent campus at Ile-Ife was being developed. By 1967, the university began moving into its permanent Ile-Ife home. ℹ️ Ethnic African Stories

In 1967, a young schoolgirl at Bodija International School in Ibadan stepped forward to present flowers to Western Nigeria’s military governor, Colonel Adeyinka Adebayo. Standing somewhere within that school community was Abiola Ajimobi, who would later say the visit inspired his own ambition to become governor. The girl with the bouquet was Florence, the woman he would eventually marry.

FELA’S INFLUENCE: British actor Andrew Garfield has revealed that the music and revolutionary spirit of late Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti influenced how he portrayed Spider-Man. In a viral roadside interview, Garfield explained that he creates a playlist for every character he plays and began listening to Fela’s music after landing the role of Peter Parker. “There was something in the sound and the rhythm that was really useful to me for that character,” Garfield said. He explained that Fela’s music helped him connect Spider-Man’s physicality with ideas of activism and justice. “And the way I moved in that film, in the suit, has some inspiration from Fela and his music,” he added. Garfield said he was particularly drawn to the energy and power in Fela’s music and wanted to reflect some of those qualities in his portrayal of the superhero. “I was like, ‘I don’t know what it is about this guy’s power, but I want to somehow reflect it in this guy’s power,’” he said. Garfield played Peter Parker in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), before reprising the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19kPkJLiQU/
