Gangnam Style Loses It's Spot As The Most Watched YouTube Video To Fast And Furious 7 Soundtrack By Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's See You Again.

Image
The South Korean  megahit  had been the site's most-played clip for the last five years. The surreal video became so popular that it  "broke" YouTube's play counter , exceeding the maximum possible number of views (2,147,483,647), and forcing the company to  rewrite its code . But the song has now been overtaken by another music video - Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's  See You Again . The heart-wrenching ballad has now been streamed 2,895,373,709 times; beating Psy's current count of 2,894,426,475 views. Adding it up, that means See You Again has been streamed for a total of 21,759 years.

Plot To Islamise Nigeria Is Real – Nnamdi Kanu

Image
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, said that the plot to Islamise Nigeria is real but would be resisted. Kanu said that no part of Nigeria within Biafra territory will be islamised in his life time. The IPOB leader said this while addressing a huge crowd of Biafra activists when he visited Nri, the ancestral home of Ndigbo. At Nri, Kanu, who was accompanied by his wife, visited the historic “Ohianwehi” revered as “forest of life” by Igbo tradition. It is believed that it was where the first burnt offering was scarified by the Jewish Igbo ancestors when they migrated from Israel about 300 years ago.

Addressing the crowd of Biafra supporters that gathered at Nri community square to catch a glimpse of him, the IPOB leader told them that the alleged plot to Islamise Nigeria was real but would b...

Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the oth...

As most of us live in urban areas, it is very likely that our pets live with us in our apartments. So, who could blame these smart mammals for using their intelligence and learning to do things just like the humans they love and look up to? Here are 22 of our photos in which pets exhibit surprising human-like behavior. Accidental or not, these pictures will surely make your day! A tourist at a zoo got by this macaque at the zoo as she was trying to take a close up shot. As you can see, he’s quite happy with his new toy. He’s probably on Tinder trying to find himself some new friends. This cute pooch has a very busy office day helping his favorite human. Sitting in the bosses’ chair, sorting out documents, answering the phone, there’s nothing he can’t do if it puts smile on the face behind the camera. I thought I was the laziest and most relaxed in the house, but mom does this weird thing where she puts cucumber on her face and wraps a towel around her hea...

Image

The reason behind this is that people don’t want to annoy the Aries. They fear about what might happen when the Aries loses him patience and becomes angry. However, the perfect approach for an Aries to get rid of the anger is to let the inner junk out, but you must find a better way to throw the junk out than lashing out on someone without a reason. You can hit the punching bag or you run around. You can also try to put all this negative energy in something more creative and productive. Taurus A Taurus does not get angry quickly. They hold long grudges and tend to deliver some sort of silent treatment if someone hurts them. They do not let anybody inside their emotional life. If you cross a Taurus once, they will become hostile towards you. The behavior of a Taurus become passively aggre...

'Hate Speech, Fake News And National Unity' - Lai Mohammed Writes

Image
Last week, Nigeria's Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed delivered this speech at the extra-ordinary meeting of the National Council on Information that held in Jos. Read the full speech centered on combating Fake news, media inciting violence and national unity below... This theme, HATE SPEECH, FAKE NEWS AND NATIONAL UNITY, was well chosen to bring to the fore the looming danger facing our country from what has now become the scourge of our time. Though I have repeatedly called attention, at many fora, to the dangers posed by the menace of the now pervasive hate speech, disinformation and fake news, no one gave the issue the attention it deserves until it started threatening the very foundation of our national unity. It was Gina Greenlee who said ‘’experience is a master teacher, even if it is not our own.’’ I am sure many here have heard or read about how hate speech and incitement to violence played a significant role in the 1994 genocide that left at least ...
