4.Akè


[img]http://1.bp..com/-C661CWnWvYA/VnqkxtqcXtI/AAAAAAAAAls/XsjQuDG_ldk/s320/download%2B%252822%2529.jpg[/img]

Like all autobiographies, Aké records interesting anecdotes, childhood adventures, and fond memories of friends and numerous relatives. However, what stands out in the narrative is the child’s perspective of the illogicality of the adult world.Wole Soyinka was a bright, curious child and his account of his early childhood in the town of Abeokuta in Western Nigeria is enchanting. He writes with his adult voice, but maintains the child's perspective and understanding throughout, the one exception a nostalgic contrasting of street-fronts then and now. Events are not always joyful — most obviously the harsh treatment of a mentally ill woman and the death of a sibling — but Aké is ebullient, full of the excitement of new discoveries and opportunities, a celebration of the wonders of childhood.

GamingHow To Play The Secret Game Embedded In Your Chrome Browser by sketcherJ(op): 11:46am On Dec 19, 2015
Do you know there is a secret game embedded in your chrome browser ,on both the computer and android application, it displays when you have an error in connection or you can't connect to the internet. Many people don't know this, so they don't play it because it is inconspicuous (not easily noticed) now I am writing this article to show u how u can see and play the game

[img]http://2.bp..com/-_92fi_2rGLo/VnUc5qFlX1I/AAAAAAAAAjU/GbPqkS_-M5Q/s320/IMG_20151219_095947.JPG[/img]

Is this dreary sad looking dinosaur familiar? when you use Google's Chrome browser and can't connect to the internet, this shows up, But did you know that this dinosaur is ALSO the main character in a secret game hidden in your browser? If you press the space bar or the dinosaur , some land appears below the dinosaur, who immediately falls towards it...

[img]http://3.bp..com/-j3Bahao2mCU/VnUeR1F-5xI/AAAAAAAAAjg/P2kv4I0w-7c/s320/IMG_20151219_100020.JPG[/img]


And then the game begins - you get a score counter at the top, and the dinosaur starts running. You can dodge the cacti by jumping over them, (on your phone) or by clicking the mouse or by using the space bar (on your PC)

When you hit a cactus, it's game over. But hey! At least you can do SOMETHING when you are having a bad network and WiFi connection

You can see more pictures at the source and if you don't have chrome browser but will like to check out this game, you can also download chrome browser at the source.

Hmmm I see some people making a valid statement that chibok girls shouldn't be in that list, no, am not saying they are all dead, but u will agree with me that there disappearance is a mystery that Nigeria and even the world has not been able to unravel. I added it because of the mystery surrounding this case

Actually funsho Williams is also included in my list, I forgot to post it here but u could see at the source..

Yes some murders are not included, maybe because they have been solved e.g kudirat abiola's death ,

If u are aware of any major murder case in nigeria that hasn't been solved, please don't hesistate to tell, maybe I will add it and update the list, thank you

6. Chibok girls : on that tragic day , 15th April 2014, 276 female school girls were abducted by Islamic militants,(book haram) and 219 are still reported to be missing, this got the whole world talking and initiated the "BringBackOurGirls" campaign, this catastrophe was regarded as the major flaw in ex president , Goodluck Jonathan's government.. What might have happened to these girls? there were some rumours saying the boko haram militants have slept with some of them , married some and sold some of them as slaves, another said they might have been radicalized, brain washed and initiated into the world of terrorism owing to the recent activities of female sucide bombers .. Even as I type this, I still feel a sadness in my heart and pray they are found safe and healthy.(Amen)

Bola ige : He was a Nigerian lawyer and politician, He became federal minister of Justice for Nigeria.On 23 December 2001, Bola Ige was shot dead at his home in the south-western city of Ibadan. He had been entangled in squabbles within his Alliance for Democracy party in Osun State, the feud involving governor bisi akande and his deputy bisola omisore.. Bola ige's killer was never brought to book as those who were arrested,
and tried for involvement in the murder, including Iyiola Omisore, were all dischaeged and acquitted.
Though till today,some people are of the strong opinion that iyiola omisore was the one that orchestrated the murder, but we might never know the truth.

3.General sanni abacha -: he was an head of state of Nigeria and his autocratic rule was reported to be a reign of terror, corruption, lawlessness and anarchy, anyone that dare talk or oppose his government was snuffed out,(eliminated), he ordered the killing of ken saro wiwa which was why Nigeria banned temporarily from the commonwealth of nations, nobody really knew how he died

Some reports said he died of an apple by two Indian ladies

Another said he died on top of a woman Recently or not to recent

His CSO ( chief security officer) said he died of an heart attack

We might never know how he died but his death was a relief to the citizens of Nigeria, Africa and the world as a whole, it was even said that many people took to dancing on the street when the news of his death was released. -

On December 1986, dele giwa was killed by a mail/letter bomb in his Lagos home, two days after he had been interviewed by sss( state security service) officials,

Till today dele giwa's killer was never brought to book
Rumours have it that his killing was ordered by the head of state then who was general Ibrahim babangida over the damning news of the illegal activities of his wife.but we might never know the killer. If dele giwa is alive now, he would have been 68 years old embarassed

1. Mungo Park - he was an explorer who was born in Selkirkshire scotland , he was the first westerner to have travelled to the central of the river Niger,he was sent out by the Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior of Africa' to discover the course of the River Niger. He was particularly sent on this expedition because of his success in the first trip where he went alone but on this journey he went with 40 Europeans who all lost their lives in the adventure.

(Though Nigeria had not been formed when mungo park died, I feel it justifiable to include this, because he was last seen in a place currently in Nigeria)

His death; against logic and reasoning, Mungo park set out with his 40 man expedition to the river Niger from Gambia in the rainy season, and when there were different wars and hostilities going on in the Niger area. Due to the weather, and different kinds of deseases , mungo park's men started dying , from 40 to 11, but mungo park was a proud man and didn't send any letter of his problems to London , by the time they reached segu, only four of his men were alive, Sending his native guide, Isaaco, back to Laidley with his journals, Park was determined to continue. But at the bussa rapids in 1806 after 1000 miles on sea , park and his four men disappeared from the face of the earth, issaco was sent back to find the truth but the only remains to be discovered was park's ammunition belts. Some historians say he drowned in the sea While some said he and his team were mistaken for Muslim's raiders and shot at..but we might never know how mungo park died,,if he is alive today, he would be 244 years old.

Nigeria where we have the rich and the poor
But what pained me most?
The poor is not trying to get rich..

They are trying to put the rich down

But there is no way they can ever put a hardworking person down.

Their hate is setting goals and aspirations for the rich
Thereby making the rich attain new levels
And maybe that is why
The rich are getting richer
And the poor? Are getting poorer angry
