This looks like lies but I'm not surprised since much that is in the international domain attributed negatively to Nigeria had nothing to do with Nigeria in the first place but often happened in some other African country.

Here's the original story taken from the BBC and twisted no doubt to look as if it happened in Nigeria or the story that gave someone the idea to make up one about Nigeria.


The Liberian teenage motorcycle taxi driver who found and returned money to a prominent businesswoman now says he is being mocked and threatened by those opposed to his actions.

Emmanuel Tuloe, 18, returned $50,000 (£37,000) after hearing the owner, Musu Yancy, making an appeal on radio.

Tuloe who dropped out of school in 7th grade has been cycling to earn a living.

His friends have been mocking him when his motorcycle taxi breaks down on the highway telling him he shouldn't have returned the money,

"They tell me I will never get rich in my lifetime, they say because I returned such an amount of money I will live and die poor," he told the BBC.

Tuloe picked up the money that was wrapped in a plastic bag and gave his aunt for safe keeping before hearing Ms Yancy's radio appeal.

The businesswoman rewarded the cyclist with money and other items including a mattress that he says he will give to is grandmother.

Tuloe said he was threatened while attending a celebration party at Ms Yancy's house.

"I left and returned home because in the crowd were also people who were angry with me for returning the money, they even threatened me, and so right now I need maximum protection," he told the BBC from his hometown of Gbolor Dialla on the border with Ivory Coast.

He said only a few friends appreciate and thank him for the honesty exhibited.

But he has largely managed to overcome the bullying and temptation of regretting his action.

Tuloe is urging fellow cyclists to always return lost and found items because they "don't know what the future holds".

The Liberian Anti-Corruption Commission says it is "deeply touched by the sincerity of the teenager".

Like I've pointed out several times on Nairaland, this individual stated that they don't know of any nation save perhaps UK in which civilians could get away with acting like that towards a police officer. They stated that in their country, police would arrest Teni and she wouldn't be heard from again. They became defensive when i asked if they were proud that their police force would act in that manner. In any case, i understood what they were trying to convey about Teni's unacceptable behavior.

Bet you'd be congratulatory if this had been a story from Europe, America or Asia. You'd praise the patience and support of lecturers, students and all relevant players in ensuring that, in spite of his limitations, his determination was recognized thus rewarding him with special dispensations. You'd then move on to contrast what you'd portray as the wisdom and enlightened carriage of white people in contrast to wicked Nigerians that would never act similarly. Whites have ability to think for themselves, you might say, unlike Nigeria where people just ape the West and would never think or do anything for ourselves unless an example had been first set abroad.

I had to Shell out 10k to repair

2nd time with this same girl yesterday night we had sex
This morning I got a message that the items I planned to ship from Canada was cancelled.

Why do I experience these badluck events after having sex with this girl
Perhaps intimacy with her is particularly enjoyable. Thing is, the nature in all aspect of the universe, including in living things as well as in the circumstances around living things , always strives for balance. In certain individuals, nature strives for balance in the pleasure and pain they experience in sexual life. This is an aspect of what Indian philosophers call Karma. If you're one of this type of people in whom natures strives for balance in the pleasures and pain you experience in sexual life, bad luck may follow any instance of great pleasure you experience. Conversely, good luck ( sadly often characterized as a period in which nothing bad happens in your life instead of lottery win) will follow any instance of unfortunate sex or abstinence from sex grin

Individuals that fall into the bracket touched on above also find that misfortune often follows them after masturbating, So, Vaseline crew be warned!!

Science/TechnologyUpdate On That Possible New Force Of Nature Discovery by Litmus(op): 9:38pm On Oct 22, 2021
The Conversation
https://thenextweb.com/news/did-we-discover-new-force-of-nature-new-results-cern-syndication

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics – potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet to be peer-reviewed, from Cern’s gargantuan particle collider seems to be adding further support to the idea.

Our current best theory of particles and forces is known as the standard model, which describes everything we know about the physical stuff that makes up the world around us with unerring accuracy. The standard model is, without doubt, the most successful scientific theory ever written down and yet at the same time we know it must be incomplete

Famously, it describes only three of the four fundamental forces – the electromagnetic force and strong and weak forces, leaving out gravity. It has no explanation for the dark matter that astronomy tells us dominates the universe, and cannot explain how matter survived during the big bang. Most physicists are therefore confident that there must be more cosmic ingredients yet to be discovered, and studying a variety of fundamental particles known as beauty quarks is a particularly promising way to get hints of what else might be out there.

beauty quarks, sometimes called bottom quarks, are fundamental particles, which in turn make up bigger particles. There are six flavors of quarks that are dubbed up, down, strange, charm, beauty/bottom, and truth/top. Up and down quarks, for example, make up the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.

Beauty quarks are unstable, living on average just for about 1.5 trillionths of a second before decaying into other particles. The way beauty quarks decay can be strongly influenced by the existence of other fundamental particles or forces. When a beauty quark decays, it transforms into a set of lighter particles, such as electrons, through the influence of the weak force. One of the ways a new force of nature might make itself known to us is by subtly changing how often beauty quarks decay into different types of particles.

The March paper was based on data from the LHCb experiment, one of four giant particle detectors that record the outcome of the ultra-high-energy collisions produced by the LHC. (The “b” in LHCb stands for “beauty”.) It found that beauty quarks were decaying into electrons and their heavier cousins called muons at different rates. This was truly surprising because, according to the standard model, the muon is basically a carbon copy of the electron – identical in every way except for being around 200 times heavier. This means that all the forces should pull on electrons and muons with equal strength – when a beauty quark decays into electrons or muons via the weak force, it ought to do so equally often.

Instead, my colleagues found that the muon decay was only happening about 85% as often as the electron decay. Assuming the result is correct, the only way to explain such an effect would be if some new force of nature that pulls on electrons and muons differently is interfering with how beauty quarks decay.

The result caused huge excitement among particle physicists. We’ve been searching for signs of something beyond the standard model for decades, and despite ten years of work at the LHC, nothing conclusive has been found so far. So discovering a new force of nature would be a huge deal and could finally open the door to answering some of the deepest mysteries facing modern science.
New results

While the result was tantalizing, it wasn’t conclusive. All measurements come with a certain degree of uncertainty or “error”. In this case there was only around a one in 1,000 chance that the result was down to a random statistical wobble – or “three sigma” as we say in particle physics parlance.

One in 1,000 may not sound like a lot, but we make a very large number of measurements in particle physics and so you might expect a small handful to throw up outliers just by random chance. To be really sure that the effect is real, we’d need to get to five sigma – corresponding to less than a one in a million chance of the effect being down to a cruel statistical fluke.

To get there, we need to reduce the size of the error, and to do this we need more data. One way to achieve this is simply to run the experiment for longer and record more decays. The LHCb experiment is currently being upgraded to be able to record collisions at a much higher rate in future, which will allow us to make much more precise measurements. But we can also get useful information out of the data we’ve already recorded by looking for similar types of decays that are harder to spot.
https://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2021/10/file-20210322-19-nytkho.jpeg
This is what my colleagues and I have done. Strictly speaking, we never actually study beauty quark decays directly, since all quarks are always bound together with other quarks to make larger particles. The March study looked at beauty quarks that were paired up with “up” quarks. Our result studied two decays: one where the beauty quarks were paired with “down” quarks and another where they were also paired with up quarks. That the pairing is different shouldn’t matter, though – the decay that’s going on deep down is the same and so we’d expect to see the same effect, if there really is a new force out there.

And that is exactly what we’ve seen. This time, muon decays were only happening around 70% as often as the electron decays but with a larger error, meaning that the result is about “two sigma” from the standard model (around a two in a hundred chance of being a statistical anomaly). This means that while the result isn’t precise enough on its own to claim firm evidence for a new force, it does line up very closely with the previous result and adds further support to the idea that we might be on the brink of a major breakthrough.

Of course, we should be cautious. There is some way to go still before we can claim with a degree of certainty that we really are seeing the influence of a fifth force of nature. My colleagues are currently working hard to squeeze as much information as possible out of the existing data, while busily preparing for the first run of the upgraded LHCb experiment. Meanwhile, other experiments at the LHC, as well as the Belle 2 experiment in Japan, are closing in on the same measurements. It’s exciting to think that in the next few months or years a new window could be opened on the most fundamental ingredients of our universe.

The Nigerian Army has been described as a useless organisation filled with corrupt generals and unable to protect the country from mutating violence, The Economist reported in its latest issue.

“Nigeria’s army is mighty on paper,” the London magazine said. “But many of its soldiers are “ghosts” who exist only on the payroll, and much of its equipment is stolen and sold to insurgents.”

The Economist said Nigeria has not been able to address its insecurity because military chiefs have plundered much of the country’s combat resources and the rest had stretched thin with little capacity to forestall the crisis.

“The army is also stretched thin, having been deployed to all of Nigeria’s state,” the paper said in its upcoming October 23 issued that was published on its website today.

The paper also said Nigeria police has become demoralised due to poor training and endemic corruption.

“The police are understaffed, demoralised and poorly trained. Many supplement their low pay by robbing the public they have sworn to protect,” it said.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Army did not immediately return requests seeking comments. Nigerian military chiefs have for years faced allegations of corruption and collusion with violent criminals as a way of keeping themselves enriched.

A large cache of military weapons had ended in the hands of insurgents since 2016. In July 2019, Nigerian soldiers fled with hundreds of millions of NAIRA they were asked to transport to Abuja by an army general.

The money loot was immediately traced to Hakeem Otiki, a major-general who was subsequently dismissed from service after a military trial. Anti-corruption activists said the Nigerian Army took action because the soldiers fled with the loot and the scandal became public.
