A mysterious, four-mile long river, deep in the heart of the Amazon is so hot that it boils. The river has long been a legend in Peru, but when geoscientist, Andres Ruzo heard about it, he thought such a phenomenon couldn’t possibly exist. He believed that it would require a huge amount of geothermal heat to boil even a small river, and the Amazon basin is far from any active volcanoes. According to DailyMail, Ruzo first heard about the Mayantuyacu River when his grandfather told him a story of how some Spanish conquistadors headed into the Amazon rainforest in search of gold. When they returned, the men spoke of a terrifying experience that involved poisoned water, man-eating snakes and a river that boils from below. Despite his skepticism, Runzo found himself hiking into the jungle and he said that what he saw was beyond his imagination. “Dipping my hand into the river would give me third-degree burns in less than half a second. Falling in could easily kill me,” Ruzo told ...

Apple has been at odds with the FBI lately over the tech giant’s refusal to allow law enforcement to access a suspected terrorist’s iPhone. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, who wrote open letter on the matter, what the Department of Justice wants them to do is create a “backdoor,” which would put the security of millions of iPhones at risk. Apple says they have complied the best they could with the FBI but refuse to put the security of their users at risk. Today, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg weighed in, extending his support to Apple in the matter. While speaking at the Mobile World Congress conference in Spain, he shared: We’re sympathetic with Apple on this one. I expect it’s not the right thing to try to block that from the mainstream products people want to use. And I think it’s not going to be the right regulatory or economic policy to put in place. The entire issue was brought to the forefront after a U.S. federal judge ordered that Apple assist the FBI in accessing ...

Wizkid’s message to Linda Ikeji Late last year, Linda Ikeji, popular female blogger did a report that the management of American Univerisity in Yola, Adamawa state paid Wizkid N8 million to come and perform and Wizkid didn’t honour the appointment. In fairness to Linda, somebody tagged her to the report on Twitter but she did not hear WizKid’s own side of the story before going to press. The report later turned out to be false as the school management debunked the report. WizKid did not take kindly to that false report, he insulted the blogger’s family and herself too on his Twitter page. Last month, Linda was the first blogger to break the story of the arrival of Wizkid’s new baby from her American baby mama, a report that Wizkid did not confirm nor deny. On Sunday, Wizkid took the fight further by tweeting a link to an article about Linda Ikeji that addresses Linda Ikeji’s “poverty mentality”, captioning it “nice read”. The article addressed Linda’s ‘poverty mentality’,...

Fellow Nigerians,Jesus Is Real. Be patient and read Biko.I had a divine dream last night, and Jesus has sent me with this message to you.It was clear to see that our Lord and Saviour is deeply worried about His Nigerian Creation.He had instructed me to tell you all, that Nigerians should NOT substitute prayers for hard work. The whole of chapter 2 of the Book of James corroborates this, especially verses 18, 20 and 26. It says faith (prayers, night vigils etc) without (hard) work is dead. No be me talk am o, na the same Bible wey una dey carry. It was clear in the vision I had last night that Jesus is not happy with Nigerians. Most Nigerians now live in the church 24/7 from Monday to Monday, wives have abandoned their husbands for night vigils, everyone is praying for miracles and miracles and more miracles. It's either this or for God to strike their enemies dead and all those who steal their luck.Jesus is so very upset with Nigerians' prayer requests and shopping list, alway...

In CairoA 3-year-old Egyptian boy has been sentenced to life in prison for a crime he allegedly committed when he was 16 months old. In what appears to be a bizarre case of mistaken identity, a military court last week found Ahmed Mansour Qorany Sharara -- and 115 others -- guilty of killing three people and sabotaging public and private property. The crimes allegedly took place during a January 2014 protest by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsy and ensuing clashes in the southern province of Fayyoum, according to a statement by the Egyptian military. Ahmed was 16 months old when the demonstration took place. He was just a little over 3 years old when the military court sentenced him to life last week. The boy was also sentenced to additional three years for related charges by a civilian misdemeanor court. Father on the run When the police first came to arrest Ahmed in early 2014 and realized he was a toddler, they took his father -- Mansour Qorany Sharara -- instea...
