Three Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, ABU genius students have invented non-smoking charcoal from the Crop waste. The students who called themselves Brycoal use Crop waste such as Corn stalks and Sugarcane bagasse, rice hulls to produce the non-smoking Charcoal. They came up with the idea in order to help reduce deforestation which causes Climate change and erosion and also reduce the risk many women are exposed to while cooking with normal Charcoal. The young Geniuses met at an event where afterwards they discussed and came up with this idea. It was the Technology Incubation Centre in Kano that helped them actualized their idea through provision of the required equipment as reported by BBCHausa. They participated in an English creative competition organised at Beyero University Kano and won first position, And subsequently participated in the African Innovation Challenge in which they also won first Position. That gave them the opportunity to go to England and attend a program meant for training exceptional innovative people. One of the student is in England where if they are lucky he will give them the opportunity of being among the 6 lucky innovative people to present their innovation to the United Nations. If they become successful in the competition they might be supported in such a way that in the next 10 years, 10,000 people could be employed through their Innovation. https://www.pressmanng.com/2019/09/three-abu-zaria-students-invents-non.html?m=1 Lalasticlala

Yes, its not a misleading headline, what you just read is true. How old were you when you got admitted into University? One of the smartest Human got admitted into the prestigious Oxford University and he graduated at age 14. And according to reports he will soon be in Lagos, Nigeria for Fundraising of school project he intend to build in Kaduna. Read more about him below as reported by blacknews: At the age of 6, Joshua Beckford, who is living with high-functioning autism, became the youngest person to ever attend the prestigious Oxford University in England. Now 13-years old, Beckford is ready to take on more challenges as he sets his sights to be a neurosurgeon and save the earth someday. Beckford was just 10 months old when his father, Knox Daniel, first discovered that he is not just a typical child. His son was sitting on his lap in front of the computer and he could already memorize and understand letters on a keyboard. He was 3-years old when he started reading fluently using phonics and speaking Japanese. He taught himself to touch-type on a computer before he could even write. At the age of four, he played on his dad’s laptop with a body simulator where he would pull out organs. He has been molded so well that he could already deliver PowerPoint presentations tackling human anatomy to audiences of 200 to 3,000 people at community fundraising events. Daniel knew his son’s brain was too advanced for a standard curriculum. Beckford was homeschooled because he “doesn’t like children his own age and only likes teenagers and adults” and what interests him is ancient Egypt that he is now working on writing a children’s book about it. In 2011, Daniel found out about a special program that Oxford University offers to children ages 8 to 13. Even though his son was just 6-years old then, he enrolled him to challenge his bright, young mind. Beckford, who was two years younger than usual applicants, then became the youngest student ever accepted at Oxford University. He took courses in philosophy and history through their online program for gifted children where he got distinctions in all of his classes and was recognized with a certificate. Moreover, Beckford supports charities and fundraising activities for minorities with autism. He is the face for the National Autistic Society’s Black and Minority campaign, which highlights difficulties that minorities with autism face getting support and services. He was also recently appointed as the Low Income Families Education (LIFE) Support Ambassador for the Boys Mentoring Advocacy Network in parts of Africa and the United Kingdom. He and his father will participate in a mentoring session and the Father And Son Together (FAST) initiative event in Nigeria in August 2019. Among his long list of accomplishments, he participated in the TEDx International Conference in Vienna and presented a poem he wrote himself titled “Saving Mother Earth,” advocating for saving the environment, he won the Positive Role model award for his age at the National Diversity Awards in 2017, and he was recognized as one of the top 30 remarkable people in the world with autism. Daniel admits that parenting a child with high-functioning autism is not always easy. According to him, his son “doesn’t like loud noises and always walks on his tip toes and he always eats from the same plate, using the same cutlery, and drinks from the same cup.” Despite that, Daniel believes the future is bright for his son, who dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon and wants to save the earth. “I want to save the earth. I want to change the world and change peoples’ ideas to doing the right things about earth,” he told HowAfrica. https://www.pressmanng.com/2019/08/meet-youngest-person-to-ever-attend.html?m=1

Norwegian prince, Prince Haakon visited Al-noor Islamic Center in the contry to show support for the 10 August Shooting Attack. During his visit he tried to shake hand with 3 muslim women but they didn't accept tge handshake. RoyalCentral Reports about the incident. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon visited the Al-Noor Islamic Centre last week to show support after the 10 August shooting attack on the mosque. Many people noticed that three women did not accept the Crown Prince’s outstretched hand as he attempted to greet them. The Bærum mosque shooting, or the Al-Noor Islamic Centre shooting, was an attack that occurred on 10 August 2019 at the Al-Noor Islamic Centre mosque in Bærum, Norway, about 20 km west of the capital city of Oslo. One person was injured, and the gunman’s stepsister was later found dead in their family home. The shooter was taken into police custody after being subdued by mosque-goers. The shooting has been described as one attack in a recent “resurgence of white supremacy”. Waheed Ahmed, information officer at the Al-Noor mosque, told NRK that they were unaware that the women did not want to shake the hand of the Crown Prince. He has now issued an official apology to the Norwegian Crown Prince. He wrote to Norwegian state tv NRK: “We did not want the Crown Prince to end up in that situation, but we did not know that the three women would not handshake. We, therefore, apologise to the Crown Prince that this happened.” Waheed Ahmed, information officer at the Al-Noor mosque, also says that the management of the mosque visit was discussed in a meeting with the staff of the Royal Court the day before the visit, and then, they went through possible scenarios. Mr Ahmed said: “Hand greetings were not in our minds and therefore did not become a topic that was raised. Had we known in advance that the women would not handshake, we would have informed the Crown Prince about it, but it was completely unknown to us that they would not.” In Islamic culture, women do not shake the hands of men for religious reasons. Instead, they opt to place their hands over their hearts as a form of greeting. However, many Norwegians and those in the Muslim community have described the act as disrespectful. The Royal Court commented on the case Monday evening, and they published through NRK the following statement: “The Crown Prince experienced the visit to the Al-Noor mosque after the terror attack as strong, and that the meeting with all the participants was warm and respectful. Together with the representatives of the Islamic Council of Norway and the Al-Noor mosque, they talked about how we can together build a society where everyone can feel safe and free”. https://www.pressmanng.com/2019/08/norwegian-mosque-apologises-to-crown.html?m=1

First he charmed her step-daughterand now — at least in the eyes of many Trump antagonists on the internet — Justin Trudeau has left a new Trump family member smitten: Melania Trump. The first lady, 49, was photographed politely leaning in for a kiss with the Canadian prime minister on Monday at the G7 summit in France, and the image has since taken on a life of its own on social media. In the photo, Mrs. Trump, clad in a red dress, leans in to offer Trudeau, 47, a cheek kiss with a smile on her face. Her husband, President Donald Trump, gazes downward next to her and appears, in the fleeting moment, to have a sour look on his face. Of course, the photo was just a brief snippet of a larger moment in which Mrs. Trump also shared a kiss with French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron, as the world leaders and their spouses all posed together. But that didn’t stop the hashtag #MelaniaLovesTrudeau from taking off on Twitter, with many cracking jokes at the Trumps’ expense. “Looks like even Melania is thinking of an escape plan to Canada,” one user wrote. Another joked about her husband’s notorious volatility, writing, “How much longer do we think before the next proposal for a border wall will be between the U.S. and Canada?” Wrote a third user: “I wish I was a bigger person and didn’t like this so much.” Others found the image reminiscent of a popular viral meme that features a man holding hands with his girlfriend, but being distracted by another woman walking by. “The #MelaniaLovesTrudeau photo is the political equivalent to the disloyal man meme,” a user wrote. In 2017, a similar photo went viral that featured Mrs. Trump’s step-daughter Ivanka Trump, a senior White House aide, looking at Trudeau — her expression frozen in the photo so that it seemed more like a desiring gaze. He had a similar effect on Kate Middleton in 2016, when the Duchess of Cambridge was photographed smiling widely as she greeted him hello and tucked a lock of hair behind her ears.

Kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala, popularly known as Wadume, has claimed he can no longer have sex, as he lost his manhood in the incident in which three policemen and a civilian were allegedly killed by soldiers. The suspected kidnapper is undergoing interrogation since the day he was rearrested in Kano by police detectives. A source told The Nation that “Wadume is giving a lot of information, and most of his revelations are true. But as a criminal, some of his information are half-truth.” Wadume said that he has observed that his penis no longer erects. Wadume, 34, has four wives and four children with two of the wives. “The other two are yet to conceive,” he said. He narrated: “I was arrested by the police in Ibi on August 7. The police said I am a kidnapper and they handcuffed my hands and legs. “On our way, we passed through an army checkpoint and after identification, they allowed us to go. We passed the second checkpoint which had mobile policemen and they also allowed us to pass. “At the third checkpoint, we wasted a little time but they allowed us to go after the policemen told them they were detectives on assignment. “Five minutes after we left that point, an army patrol vehicle started shooting at us. Our vehicle got hit, summersaulted severally times and crashed. “When the bus stopped, all of us came out alive, except for bullet wounds. A bullet hit part of my scrotum. “When I ran to my uncle in Kano state, he called a doctor to treat the bullet wound that affected my private part. “It is possible, I cannot use it (manhood) again because of the damage and I have discovered that when I wake up in the morning these days, I no longer have erection.” “Although, I did not ask soldiers to kill the policemen or anyone, I was happy when they rescued me. But I am happier now that the police have arrested me alive, instead of killing me,” he said. “I am not a kidnapper, but I supply arms to different gangs. I make enough money as a supplier of riffles. I know I have committed a crime selling guns, but I am willing to change for good.” https://www.pressmanng.com/2019/08/kidnap-kingpin-wadume-ive-lost-my.html?m=1 Lalasticlala

Former presidential candidate and human right Activist, Oby Ezekwesily slammed the government of President Buhari and tagged it "Tooth Pick Governance" She made the statement via her Twitter handle while commenting on the Viral Picture of president Buhari picking his teeth. She said "That a Presidency @AsoRock and their allies found this unflattering “Fiddling-Nero-type-picture” of the @NGRPresident worthy of public view really does take their celebration of deadly Incompetence to a stratospheric realm. But then, it really is Governance of tooth-picking." She continued by condemning the arrest of Sowore "Nigeria and Nigerians shall surely survive a warped political culture that emboldens and rewards Incompetence. @YeleSowore is unconstitutionally and unlawfully detained for calling out the deadly incompetence. Not even the Judiciary is spared this spread of deadly incompetence. Here’s the thing. This level of Incompetence is too costly and unsustainable. Let @AsoRock and its crew continue to dwell in their Parallel Universe. The Real World is where our citizens live. @YeleSowore has raised issues that are never going away until addressed. Let their coterie of genuflecting sycophants order more toothpicks for @NGRPresident @MBuhari to idle away in that refuse-bin defaced room of the @AsoRock . The issues @YeleSowore boldly protested are true words. You may detain him but those words can never be detained. #RevolutionNow can never be detained. It is an “Idea whose Time shall Come”. It will grow just like a mustard seed does. For Citizens to dare to overthrow entrenched mediocrity served them as their National Value is the most Patriotic Act that Nigerians will yet achieve. @YeleSowore said #RevolutionNow and began to publicly mobilize his fellow Citizens to Demand for a New Social Contract. A terribly Incompetent government became instantly jittery and repressed his Constitutional freedoms. Is this is not a sign of how Powerful Citizens are? It is painful that @YeleSowore bears the brunt of the collective dissatisfaction of the Citizens of Nigerians toward a grossly incompetent and intolerant @AsoRock . We must thank him for once again reminding us that: The Power of the People is greater than the People in Power! When the Citizens of Nigeria are ready, neither @YeleSowore nor anyone else need publicly mobilize them and be accused of “wanting to overthrow a government”. The Citizens shall on their own rid themselves of a trenchantly incompetent and wicked Political Class. It’ll happen" Some Nigerians agreed with her on this but most were in disagreement with Oby on the comment section See reactions below https://www.pressmanng.com/2019/08/governance-of-tooth-pick-oby-ezekwesily.html?m=1 Lalasticlala
