In May 2016, a, tragic incident occurred in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, India, where a man named Urjaram was killed by his camel. The man, named Urjaram, had an event and was attending to his guest. He had forgotten about his camel which he had tied in the scorching sun, throughout the day. When he remembered in the evening, he went to untie the camel that had endured about 43°C, according to reports. When he got there, the animal, enraged by the prolonged neglect and heat, attacked him. The camel grabbed him by the neck, and room all his head in its mouth. It then threw him to the ground, and started chewing and biting round his neck, till he severed his head. It took about 25 villagers roughly six hours to calm the animal down. NOTE: Camels can hold grudges and are known to become violent if abused or severely neglected. Thank you

Did you know that a camel can fit an adult human head into its mouth and chop it off?

9-year-old Marcus lunged like a wild animal and sank his nails into the biker’s arm. “MY SISTER’S IN THAT TRUCK!” he screamed, pointing at the unmarked semi speeding away. Biker Duke didn’t hesitate. Engines roared. A high-speed chase exploded down I-75. They forced the rig to stop. When the trailer doors cracked open… six drugged, tied-up little girls spilled out — including Marcus’s 7-year-old sister Zoe. One terrified kid and a pack of bikers just shattered a trafficking nightmare. Everyone still shakes thinking about those girls’ eyes.

@GallantDaletian By every measure that supports military success in confronting these challenges, Nigeria outranks Mali by at least a 10:1 margin. So it made sense to celebrate then, but it is less justifiable now considering the problem persists and is even expanding to most extents.

"Nigeria could have collapsed..." You need to be reminded that Nigeria and its military have faced a more sophisticated, well armed, and territorially ambitious enemy than the groups involved in the Mali attacks of 2026. Between 2014 and 2018, Nigeria was not dealing with simple hit and run tactics, it was confronting a Caliphate that deployed captured Main Battle Tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), and multi-barrel rocket launchers in conventional, set piece battles. The intensity of this pressure is best illustrated by the fact that in 2014 alone, the conflict recorded over 10,000 fatalities, making it the deadliest in the world at that time. Despite this staggering casualty rate and the enemy's control over 14 Local Government Areas, a territory larger than several European nations the Nigerian military prevented the collapse of any state capital. The defense of Maiduguri remains a definitive case study, the city was surrounded on all sides and faced massive, coordinated assaults from thousands of insurgents, yet the military held the line without the state government folding. In contrast, the 2026 Mali attacks saw insurgents penetrate the heart of the capital and reach the residences of the top military leadership in Bamako with relative ease. Nigeria's ability to maintain its sovereign integrity during the 2014-2018 peak, while fighting a war almost entirely with its own resources and personnel, proves a level of institutional and tactical resilience that far outweighs the localized shock recently witnessed in Mali. The Nigerian military did not just survive the pressure, it evolved through it, ensuring that the most populated nation in Africa remained standing while facing a threat that was objectively more formidable in weaponry, manpower, and strategic depth. If Mali, or any of the AES countries, faced what Nigeria had faced, they would have ceased to exist as sovereign entities. The sheer scale of the 2014-2018 insurgency was an existential threat that would have overwhelmed smaller, less resilient structures, we are talking about a period where the enemy wasn't just hiding in the bushes but was actively administering large towns, hoisting flags, and matching the military’s firepower with heavy artillery. While the AES nations often rely on external private contractors or singular alliances to plug security gaps, Nigeria’s military had to dig deep into its own history and manpower to hold together a nation of over 200 million people with vastly more complex internal dynamics. The fact that Nigeria didn't just hold the line but eventually pushed the enemy out of every urban center they once occupied is a testament to a level of national endurance that remains unmatched in the Sahel. To compare a localized breach in Bamako to the total war fought in the North East is to fundamentally misunderstand the weight of the burden Nigeria carried and successfully threw off. Nigeria’s survival wasn't a matter of luck, it was the result of a military that stayed in the fight when the pressure was high enough to shatter the foundation of any other nation in the region.

Nigeria could have collapsed if it faced the intense pressure Mali faced on 25 April 2026. The casualties Mali forces registered in the surprise attack was not even worth mentioning, compare it to that of Nigerian army-dying in their numbers with less pressure. I am not downgra

Everytime the DSS/Army/Police picks up based on social media posts, I marvel at the efficiency. Seemingly anon accounts get nabbed under 24hours - anywhere they are, within the country. 48H max. Makes you wonder. Makes you also confirm the truth about Nigeria's insecurity.

Harvard scientists ran a simple test. They put adults under blue light for 6 hours one night, then under green light at the same brightness the next. Blue light pushed their bedtimes back by 3 hours. Green pushed them back by 1.5. And in kids, the same lights hit about twice as hard. The reason comes down to a tiny patch of cells at the back of every human eye. These cells have one job. They tell your brain whether it is day or night. They wake up most when light hits a very specific shade of blue, the same shade phone screens and modern bulbs are loaded with. When those cells fire after dark, the brain stops making melatonin, the chemical that pulls you toward sleep. Red light barely sets off those cells at all. A 2025 study from the University of Zaragoza put people under red lamps and blue lamps for three hours at night. Under blue, their melatonin stayed scraped to the floor. Under red, it climbed back up to more than three times higher. Same brightness. The color did all the work. Children get this worse than adults. Two reasons. Their pupils are bigger, so more light gets in. And the lens inside a kid's eye is still glass-clear, where adult lenses slowly yellow with age and filter blue out naturally. A 10-year-old's body clock is roughly twice as sensitive to evening light as a 45-year-old's. A bedside lamp that feels harmless to a parent can be wrecking a kid's sleep clock at the same time. Then there is the lag. Once the brain catches a dose of blue light, the wake-up signal it sends out keeps echoing for 3 to 4 hours after the lights go off. So a kid on an iPad at 9pm can still be wired at midnight even if you took the iPad away at 9:01. Modern LED bulbs and screens are tuned to roughly 6500 Kelvin. That is sunlight at noon. Old incandescent bulbs sit around 2700, mostly red and yellow with almost nothing in the blue range. To a human eye, a red-lit room is just about as close to no light at all as you can get. The brain reads it as nighttime. The fix is boring. Use warm bulbs at 2700 Kelvin or lower in any room a kid spends evenings in, switch off phones and tablets two hours before bed, and if a night light is needed for bathroom trips, make it red or amber. The science was pinned down to the exact color of light back in 2001.

Nephew apparently “never wants to go to sleep.” Apparently he’s in bed by 8 when there’s no blue light around.

Isaac newton's book on optics is almost entirely plagiarised from this guy
Ihtesham Ali@ihtesham2005

An Arab scholar in 1011 was placed under house arrest in Cairo for 10 years. He used the time to invent the scientific method, prove how vision actually works, and write a 7-volume book that Newton studied 600 years later. I read about him last night and could not stop thinking about it. His name was Ibn al-Haytham. The book is called the "Book of Optics." The textbook story names Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes as the founders of modern science. All three of them came 600 years after Ibn al-Haytham. All three of them studied his work directly or through Latin translations. The man who actually invented the scientific method was working alone in a single room in Cairo while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. Here is the story almost nobody tells you. He was born in Basra around 965 CE. By his 40s he had a reputation across the Arab world as one of the most original minds alive. Then he made the mistake that almost killed him. He claimed publicly that he could regulate the flooding of the Nile. The mad caliph al-Hakim of Cairo summoned him to Egypt to do it. Ibn al-Haytham took one look at the river and realized the project was impossible with the technology of his era. The caliph had executed dozens of scholars for less. So he faked madness. The caliph believed him and put him under house arrest in his own home in Cairo for the next 10 years. Most people would have lost their actual mind. He used the time to invent science. Before him, knowledge worked one way. You quoted authority. If Aristotle had said it, it was true. If Galen had written it, it was correct. The role of a scholar was to memorize and defend the ancient Greeks. I Ibn al-Haytham broke this completely. He wrote a sentence in the Book of Optics that quietly destroyed 1,400 years of intellectual culture. "The seeker after truth," he said, "is not the one who follows his natural disposition to trust the writings of the ancients. The seeker after truth is the one who suspects them, questions them, and submits only to argument and experiment." That single sentence is the foundation of modern science. He wrote it 600 years before the European Renaissance. The second thing he did was build the actual machinery of experimentation. He insisted that no claim about the physical world was acceptable until it had been verified by an experiment anyone could repeat. He gave detailed instructions for every experiment in his book. He told his readers, in writing, not to take his word for any of it. Build the equipment. Run the tests yourself. Verify or destroy my claims with your own eyes. The third thing he did was use the method to overturn one of the most settled questions in physics. The Greeks had taught for centuries that vision worked because the eye emitted invisible rays. Ibn al-Haytham proved them wrong with a darkened room, a small hole, and a wall. The first camera obscura. He showed that light from the outside world enters the eye, the exact opposite of what every Greek thinker had taught. Two hundred years later his book was translated into Latin in Spain. Roger Bacon cited him. Kepler cited him. Galileo's work on the telescope was built on his optics. Newton's foundational work on light rested on his framework. Walk into any physics department today. Ask who founded the scientific method. Almost nobody will say Ibn al-Haytham. The man who invented the way humanity actually knows things did the work under house arrest, with no funding, no laboratory, and a paranoid caliph next door waiting for an excuse to kill him. He did it anyway. Most of the world is still pretending it was someone else's idea.

💥🇹🇷 Víctima de violación mata a su agresor tras su excarcelación por amnistía y desafía al juez: “Él me violó a mí, no al Estado. ¿Quién les dio el derecho de perdonarlo sin consultarme?”. En Turquía, una mujer que sufrió una brutal violación vio cómo su atacante, condenado a 20 años de prisión, fue liberado apenas 20 meses después por una amnistía estatal. Indignada, consiguió un arma y lo mató de un disparo en plena calle, y durante el juicio, cuando el juez le preguntó por qué lo había hecho, ella respondió con una frase que ya recorre el mundo: “Él me violó a mí, no al Estado. ¿Quién les dio el derecho de perdonarlo sin consultarme?”. ¿Por qué los gobiernos indultan a delincuentes sin tener en cuenta el sufrimiento de quienes padecieron los crímenes? ¡Esto es algo perverso! ¿Apoyas a esta mujer?

In 2023, my husband rented a shop at Toyin Street, Ikeja. The agent and everyone in the complex told him the rent was ₦800k per year aside Agent and Agreement fees. He paid. Unknown to him, the actual rent was ₦500k. The caretaker was pocketing the extra ₦300k from each tenant without the landlord’s knowledge. 8 months later, the water pumping machine spoiled. The caretaker told all tenants they had to fix it themselves. My husband reminded him of their agreement, maintenance is the landlord’s responsibility. The caretaker insisted. So, I advised my husband to call the landlord directly. During the conversation, my husband mentioned, “I can’t be paying ₦800k and still be asked to fix the pump.” The landlord was shocked. He knew nothing about the rent increase. He asked for the receipts, saw everything, and exploded. Long story short: -The landlord returned the extra ₦300k to my husband. -He sacked the caretaker. -He fixed the pumping machine for everyone, free. This is how greedy some agents and caretakers are in Lagos. They inflate rents, pocket the difference, and treat tenants like fools.

Landlord exposes caretaker for inflating rent on his property. The actual rent for the one-room apartment was ₦150,000 per year, but the caretaker was illegally collecting ₦375,000 from tenants.
