A poem about Nigeria's struggle for peace and stability. Is there a need for divider? Our leaders could always divide her. In her, is Judas. Beside her, is lucifer. Where to run? So she burn. Who to save? She is lost on the way to being brave. The cry she gave. All lost as she gave. Everyday is another tears from another day. The voices of the masses will never get a say if we keep forgetting who made this night and day. If we keep forgetting who made our day, then we might never see the light of the night. We might not see the light of the new day. ©AKINJERY

I hate John, Funke and Janet because they have never liked my picture on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat forgetting they don't have a device that devices their way of life. My Mom got duped of her money by someone who posed to be me. In the next room is Rebekah, a girl who poses naked, sending filtered photographs of herself just to get the likes, two days ago she was in a pool of her tears, almost committing suicide when she had just two likes and a boy commented on her picture, saying she was ugly. Andrew, he is always in his room trying to please those outside his walls, the only time you see him outside his room is when he is hungry. Mr Adegoke is battling to keep his family together because he can't stop viewing the nude pictures posted by Rebekah on Instagram. Too many fallacy, now hard to tell reality. Is this the world of our dreams, a world where we struggle for affection, bleeching our great looks only to be considered another person's filtered dreams. ...

A SHIPPER EARNED 12,345,021N IN A MONTH ARTICLE, BUSINESS Cameron Naidoo, a shipper who grew up in a suburb of Lagos, incredibly managed to pay off all his past debts, buy 2 plots of land for his future homes, and own a luxury car. The thing is that his salary is just enough for him to live from hand to mouth. So how can he earn such a big income in one month only? Let's listen to his story. "I have been working as a shipper for around one year. I used to be a university student who was working part-time at a fast-food restaurant. In the second year at university, my financial problem became so adverse that I could not manage to pay for monthly house rentals. Finally I had to borrow money to maintain a place to live, a seat at school but the student loans become a burden then. It was very difficult to study and work at the same time, which eventually hit me from university at that time. The difficulty was followed by a series of other challenges. My mother had a health...

Despite the current harsh economic realities in Nigeria, Nigerian entrepreneurs are still doing great things. These are images of some beautiful luxury buses captured during the recently concluded 13th Lagos International Motor Fair. Here is the interesting thing: they were produced right here in Nigeria. Even more heartwarming is that these different lines of luxury buses are specially designed to suit our bumpy and rough terrain. They are also fitted with very chilling ACs. These are Yutong lines of Luxury buses. In terms of size, lenght and seating capacities, Yutong buses come in different categories. These Nigeria-made luxury buses are far more affordable than other brand of imported luxury buses. Yutong bus project is a Chinese automotive franchise. The Nigerian assembly plant is located in Igbo-Ukwu in Anambra state. The assembly plant is operated by Kojo Motors Ltd.

This 'Smart City' in China Is Controlled By An Artificial Intelligence The idea of smart cities – infrastructure interlinked by software – isn’t new, but it’s undeniably cool. Who wouldn’t want to live somewhere where programs use data and evidence, not intuition, to actively improve their day-to-day lives? Now imagine that an entire smart city actually exists, but it's even more advanced than you could possibly imagine, where infrastructural systems are altered on the fly by an artificial intelligence (AI). This may sound futuristic, but one such place can already be found in China. As reported back in October 2016, the government of the city of Hangzhou – home to over 9 million people – collaborated with Alibaba and Foxconn to build the “City Brain” project. The metropolis would be, from that moment forth, at least partly run by an AI that absorbed every last drop of data it could get its virtual hands on. Every single resident was tracked; their activity on socia...

As it has always been emphasized earlier, Nigeria is blessed with both vast human and natural resources but the problem is how to harness them. Tucked away in Ohanze town near the commercial city of Aba in Abia state is Francis Emmanuel. He runs a company called EM Automobile. This enterprising young Nigerian is in the business of manufacturing automobiles. Francis Emmanuel has built a brand of car called the EM Emulate. According to him, the EM Emulate is manufactured using Mate motorcycle engine together with other locally fabricated materials. Thus far, and largely due to inadequate funding, he has built only one unit of the EM Emulate. However, here is the interesting part: a unit of the EM Emulate is built with only Eighty thousand naira (N80, 000) ! Indeed, such industry and determination ought to be encouraged. With some encouragement and support, such project have the potential to come out much better. See more photos:

What Buhari told Trump in Washington 2018/04/30 20:20:04 President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Washington DC during the bilateral talk with U.S. President Donald Trump said that herdsmen crisis in Nigeria is an age-long challenge. Buhari said herdmen do not carry guns but only wield sticks and occasionally machetes. He reiterated that death of Gaddafi aggravated herdsmen crisis in Nigeria. “The problem of herders in Nigeria is a very long historical thing. The Nigerian herders don’t carry anything more than a stick and occasionally a matchet to cut down foliage and give it to their animals, these ones are carrying AK-47. “So, people should not underrate what happened in Libya. 43 years of Ghaddaffi, people were recruited from Sahel and trained to shoot and kill. With the demise of Ghaddaffi they moved to other countries and region and carried the experience with them,” he said. Buhari also hailed the United States government for assisting in Nigeria’s fight against i...

Japanese engineers develop real-life transformer car 2018/04/29 Japanese engineers have developed a real-life transforming car robot which can actually transform with people inside. Standing 3.7-meters tall, the two-seater robot, dubbed “J-deite RIDE”, can transform from car to robot in 1-minute, and walk at a speed of 100 metres per hour or drive on its four wheels. “The robots I’ve seen in animation movies since childhood all had this kind of look and they transform into or combined with each other to become something else with people on board. So I grew up believing that robots had to be capable of such things, which became my motivation to develop this robot,” said Brave Robotics chief executive officer Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec. The new development is expected to get many car freaks excited especially with the fact that the car can transform with people inside it.

A teacher earned $376,000 last year Story from Keith Bliss 22.04.2018 11:51 AM Cameron Baidoo used to be a primary school teacher in Lagos. He never wondered about making a great deal to have a luxurious life. Like everyone, he worked to at least make end meets, to pay the bill, raise his children and send them to school. He never felt a need for anything else. About one year ago, his motorbike broke down and he did not have enough money to have it fixed. Then he had no means of transport. He secretly cried in the bathroom, so his wife and his children would not notice. He was not sure of their feelings about this. The financial problems made him think, and on the same day, he decided that he did not want to live in poverty anymore. He sought to earn more and tried selling things online but did not succeed. In the end, the result was the same. Luckily, several months later, his effort was compensated. He found a way to earn money on the Internet, not selling, not advertising...
