A hidden prehistoric forest has been discovered in Africa, with giant plants millions of years old. 💭😳

On the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, scientists have discovered an ecosystem that seems to have come from another era: a forest with giant plants like Senecio keniodendron, a species that has changed very little in millions of years.

At that altitude, the vegetation is less dense, further highlighting the size of these plants, which can reach up to 7 meters in height.

Kilimanjaro, with its unique blend of climates, has become a refuge for species that exist nowhere else on the planet.

Attah Ameh Oboni was an Igala king from Nigeria who ruled in the 1940s and 1950s.

He famously refused to remove his cap (a cultural taboo) to greet Queen Elizabeth II during a colonial-era meeting, leading to conflicts.

Eventually, in 1956, he faced pressure to step down and tragically ended his own life.

Muhammad Ali helps save a man who was threatening to jump from a nine-story building in Los Angeles in 1981.

Police and negotiators had been trying for hours without success. When Ali, who was living nearby, heard about the situation, he rushed to the scene.

Rather than watching from the crowd, Ali went directly into the building and leaned out a window to talk with the man. Speaking calmly, he told him that he cared about him, that life was worth living, and that he wasn’t alone. Ali promised to help him find a better path and even offered to personally take him home. His gentle words and presence convinced the man to step back from the edge and into safety.

Afterward, Ali didn’t just leave. He spent the next day with the young man, taking him to his own home and arranging professional help.

Steve Biko, the young African with the heart ♥ of a lion.
He was full of passion and love for Africa.
On 12th September 1977, exactly 48 years today his blood was spilled to give voices to many of us.
His only crime was that he was against the oppression of his people on their own land.
Never forget for your oppressor and enemy is, when you forget your history it will repeat itself today and again tomorrow.
An Icon and a hero of African. Rest in Power Biko, you are our hero!
The time has come for Africa to write her own history to glorify those who deserve our glorification and not to honor those whom oppressor chooses for us to honor!
We love Africa and forever shall we live for Africa
♥️♥️♥️

Akili zetu zimelishwa uongo kwa muda mrefu sana na sasa tunaamini tofauti na tunajua vitu kinyume chake

Kwa mfano leo mtu ukimwambia
Mboga za majani ni bora kuliko nyama mtabishana kufa

Mkeo atakuona wewe ni bahili sana
Watoto wako watakuona mkoloni
Majirani wataona unaitesa familia yako

Ukiambiwa mahindi ni chakula cha mifugo
Ni kipato chetu duni ndicho kimepelekea tule mahindi utaambiwa tungekuwa tunakula nini sasa kama sio ugali
Umasikini wetu umezaa tamaduni mbaya

Kwa mfano kwanini ununue mchele ambao ni wanga peke yake debe (kilo 20) kwa elfu 50 wakati hiyo pesa inaweza kununua vyakula vya maana na vingi sana kwa mazingira yetu

Akili zetu zimelishwa na kuaminishwa mambo kwa utofauti
Jukumu tulilo nalo sasa ni kuutafuta ukweli
Na ukweli haupatikani kirahisi

Kumbuka kuna DATA
Na kuna INFORMATION
Wewe unalishwa DATA tu

Soweto: When Children Faced Bullets with Books

On June 16, 1976, the streets of Soweto, South Africa, became the stage for courage and tragedy. Thousands of students took to the streets to protest the government’s policy of forcing them to learn in Afrikaans a language they said symbolized their oppression.

They carried signs, not weapons. They sang songs of freedom. But when the police arrived, the sound of gunfire drowned out their voices. Children ran for their lives. Tear gas filled the air. Bullets tore through young bodies.

Hector Pieterson, just 12 years old, became the face of that day his lifeless body carried by another student through the chaos, photographed for the world to see. Over 170 people were killed, most of them teenagers. Their only crime was demanding the right to learn in their own language.

The uprising became a turning point in South Africa’s fight against apartheid. It awakened a nation, and their blood watered the seeds of freedom. The children of Soweto taught the world that even the smallest voices can shake the walls of power.

A Prayer for Nigeria

GOD of creation, We thank You for peace in our schools and freedom in our streets. While other nations have seen their children fall to bullets for demanding justice, You have shielded Nigeria from such deep wounds.

Lord, protect our youth our hope, our future. Give them courage to speak truth with wisdom, and leaders who will listen before violence is ever considered. Let peace reign in our classrooms, and unity reign in our land.

We declare that Nigeria’s sons and daughters will rise through knowledge, not conflict; through love, not fear. Our nation will be known for wisdom, progress, and light.

Amin!!!, Amen!!!
