Dating back to the years of slave trade,human beings were profitable commodities in the hands of their dealers,who exchange them for money.Some human beings were captured to be sold while parents were willing to sell their seemingly stubborn children.Some of the slaves that were ferried out of the country were subjected to untold hardships in the hands of their buyers.Recently,human trafficking has been a serious challenge in our country,as people still lure their unsuspecting victims for the money-making venture. Like slave trade,kidnapping has become a matter to contend with in our country.It is about the most popular information seen in the news nationwide.Even the deaf people have heard it.Hardened individuals,that decided to take their destinies in their own hands,have taken kidnapping,as a means of getting their share of the unevenly distributed national cake.The big,the small,the young and the aged are being held on ransom day after day.Presently,it has become a thorn in the fl...

Our country is full of shameless men and women tagged 'politicians',parading as our leaders.The big and small,the godfathers and their protégés are losing their right senses of reasoning.It is an open truth that any leadership without the availability of enough healthy opposition,from any source,will gradually translate to dictatorship.I once said that our country is gradually returning to the dictatorship era,that subjected us to untold hardship and reduced chances of growth in every sector. Nigeria has gained a certain notoriety from the uncontrolled defection of members of her political class in search of greener pastures.This defection is independent of any good reason or promising future for the nation at the long run.Our politicians are so free to keep defecting,provided their selfish desires are satiated.The satiric episodes of carpet-crossing that occured in recent times,have succeeded in jeopardizing the efforts we have made to democratically grow.It has also tainted t...

Where did HIV,the virus that causes AIDS come from?Both of AIDS viruses,HIV-1 and HIV-2,originated in Western-Central Africa according to genetic statistics.As is often the case with microbes,a jump from one species is probably to blame.HIV-1 is probably from chimpanzees while HIV-2 is from sooty mangabeys.AIDS epidemic seemed to have occured around,or just after the Second World War.Cases of AIDS in 1982 began to be reported by fourteen nations.As early as 1982,Centre Fo...
