Agbakoba wants court to nullify Buhari’s ministerial position.

A former President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, has sued the Federal Government over the ministerial position of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mitsubishi Is Changing The Way Cars Give Signals .

According to research 60 percent of pedestrian fatalities on roads occur at night .Mitsubishi wants to help reduce the number and make the road safer for everyone at night. They have announced a new safe and secure lighting system ,which utilizes a mixture of symbols projected on road surfaces and electronic car displays to signal vehicle warning signals, movement and actions. Let me break it down : Imagine a system where you don’t have to depend solely on signals like reverse light ,but also on signals that are projected on the floor and other objects. With time the system is expected to be integrated into self-driving cars ,so it can inform pedestrians and other road users especially conventional drivers of any move it intends to make. Are we in the future already ? Take a look at the images below :

11 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Airplanes .

lanes have changed a lot since the days of the Wright Brothers (or, perhaps more accurately, Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos). Those first wood-and-cloth contraptions are an entirely different species than the sleek Boeing Dreamliners of today. With the continual advancements in aerospace technology, it's hard to keep up with all the amazing things planes today are capable of doing (and withstanding). Below, 11 things you didn’t know about airplanes and air travel. Airplanes are designed to withstand lightning strikes Planes are designed to be struck by lightning—and they regularly are hit. It’s estimated lightning strikes each aircraft once a year—or once per every 1,000 hours of flight time. Yet, lighting hasn’t brought down a plane since 1963, due to careful engineering that lets the electric charge of a lightning bolt run through the plane and out of it, typically without causing damage to the plane. There is no safest seat on the plane The FAA says there is no safest seat on...

US strikes kill dozens at IS traning camp.

The US military said Monday it killed dozens of Islamic State fighters at the group’s training camps in central Yemen, in the first such strikes in the country’s conflict. Witnesses said villagers were prevented by tribal leaders from approaching the area and retrieving the dead and wounded for fear of additional strikes. Locals said the camps, both in Bayda province, were named after prominent IS figures: Yemen chief Abu Bilal al-Harbi and former global spokesman Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, killed last summer in a US air strike. This is the first time allies of Yemen’s internationally recognised government have announced raids against IS footholds. “US forces killed dozens of ISIS members in a strike on two ISIS training camps… in Al-Bayda Governorate, Yemen, disrupting the organization’s attempts to train new fighters,” US Central Command, which oversees US forces in the region, said in a statement. “ISIS used the camps to train militants to conduct terror attacks using AK-...
