from @cnn The Sydney Opera House honored Australian firefighters Saturday with a moving tribute, illuminating its sails with images of the crews battling the bushfires across the country. “We want to send a message of hope and strength, and importantly to thank the emergency services and volunteers for their incredible efforts and courage,” the opera house said on Twitter. At least 27 people, including volunteer firefighters, have died since the fire season began in late July.⁣

We all can go on and wonder why NASA staffs didn’t discover this planet themselves and it had to be the intern who discovered it. But we yet again forget that when it is your turn in life, it is your turn. could it be that they all had no need to detach for the new player knowing that there wouldn’t have been any? could it be missing planet that came right back to life, but can’t bear the same name since it was my non existent for a while?

Could it be that this intern paid a closet attention, had more patience than others and found out this planet? What ever the case my be, the teen has discovered the news planet and has been certified by NASA itself that it is infact a new planet.

Reposted from @lewishamilton – It saddens me deeply to know that over 1 billion animals in Australia died a painful death, no way out, not their fault. My love of animals is no secret and I can’t help but grieve for the defenceless animals thought to have died so far, pushing certain species closer to extinction. I’m lucky enough to visit Australia often and I know first-hand how beautiful the country is. Keep fighting Australia. I’ve spent some time speaking to people in Australia who are working at the heart of this and I’m filled with admiration for everything they are doing.

I implore you to join me in thinking about the impact we are having on our planet. Let’s work together to make small changes, and encourage our family and friends to do the same, so we can help shift the direction we’re going in.

I’m donating $500K to support @wireswildliferescue @wwf_australia and the Rural Fire Services. If you are able and haven’t already, you can donate too. Every little helps.

from @lewishamilton – Focus on what you love doing. Set your sights and dreams high. Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t or you’re not good enough. You need to believe (if you really aren’t good at it then you need to be realistic too) nobody can do it for you, only help along the way but you are going to have to do the heavy lifting! Let’s set our sights higher for 2020, never backing down! I believe in you and so should you! #letsgo #believeinyourself

Reposted from @lewishamilton (@get_regrann) – Surfing into the new year, one of my favourite things to do. There is much to do, so much to see. Much work is ahead of us but I try to set my sights high on things which most people would say are impossible, envision it and work to manifest them. What are YOU going to do to make the difference for you this year? #believeinyourself – #regrann

Isn’t he God? And is there anything he can’t do? Well we are grateful for his change of heart, pity in humanity, and gift of rain.

Reposted from @nowspacetime – Nearly 200 fires are still burning across the entire country of Australia, with smoke spreading across thousands of miles — affecting places as far as New Zealand, where ash has turned glaciers yellow.

More than 15 million acres of land has been scorched — 7x the 2019 Amazon fires and 3x the 2018 California fires. The death toll has climbed to at least 24 people and more than 1,200 homes have been destroyed.

It’s estimated that 8000 koalas (one third of the koala population in New South Wales) have been killed –– a figure that is feared to be even higher as the fires continue. Due to their slow movement, koalas are more at risk as they’re unable to escape the flames.

These are the devastating effects of anthropogenic climate change. This is the slaughter of life, the destruction of nature and the loss of hope. Let’s make 2020 the year that we stand up for the climate. It’s time to speak up for the voiceless and take action for what is right.

Thankfully, conditions are beginning to ease as firefighters are gaining control over several dangerous fires. The awareness shared through social media has helped raise tens of millions of dollars, money which will help aid first responders and animal rescuers to do all they can to put an end to this nightmare.

The Nigerian famous family sitcom #Johnsons has been the sweet heart of so many hearts in the Nigerian household. A character which has so far stood out for Nigerians to easily love,miss, and look forward to, has been the character of Spiff, played by the one and only Sam Ajibola.

Though he is always playing the character of a young boy, he was actually said to have gotten married this past week and Nigeria’s can’t believe their eyes, and he was seen in Anambra state in his traditional marriage where pictures were taken and shared and we are here for it.

Talk about the significant item sent. Maybe u am being too extra, but what exactly can these victims do with thoughts and prayers? can thoughts and prayers help them start up life? can they now rebuild what’s lost and save more lives with thoughts and prayers? #damn

from @kensingtonroyal – We continue to be shocked and deeply saddened to hear about the fires that are destroying homes, livelihoods and wildlife across much of Australia.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people and communities who are affected by this devastating event.

We send our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives, and the brave firefighters who continue to risk their own lives to save the lives of others.

from @theroyalfamily – Her Majesty The Queen has sent a message of condolence to the Governor General of Australia, Governor of New South Wales, Governor of Queensland, and Governor of Victoria and to all Australians: “I have been deeply saddened to hear of the continued bushfires and their devastating impact across many parts of Australia.
My thanks go out to the emergency services, and those who put their own lives in danger to help communities in need.
Prince Philip and I send our thoughts and prayers to all Australians at this difficult time. Elizabeth R”

from @hilaryduff – The next photo is absolutely gut wrenching. The fires in beautiful Australia are covering the entire country 14.7 million acres have burned. That is an unfathomable number. Half a billion animals GONE. Burned alive. 💔💔 its a strange feeling of guilt to be enjoying my honeymoon in South Africa in a similar landscape where the animals are healthy and free and such devastating circumstances for others occurring at the same moment. Homes burned, people displaced and unfortunately some lives lost. @Matthewkoma and I are coming up with a number that we feel comfortable with to donate and will keep you posted on that. Please do what you can

The horror of the Australia fires is spreading like it’s name implies. With the destruction yet unaccertained and still counting, the world is just now coming to terms with the extent of ruin this fire must now have caused in the motherland of life itself.

Actress and wife to Keith Urban Nicole kidman, yesterday revealed that she is now donating to the rural fire service the whopping sum of half a million dollars, to encourage their will and power with the right equipment and protection suitable for nature’s horror. Thank you Nicole, and the rest if you people who have decided to help out.

This is such a disturbing natural disasters being placed upon this beautiful country called Australia. I honestly hope that they get to recover and survive this horror.

from @cnn- Dressed in a kid-size uniform and holding a pacifier in his mouth, the 19-month-old son of a firefighter killed while battling Australia’s bushfires received a medal to honor his father’s bravery. During the funeral for Geoffrey Keaton on Thursday, the local fire service’s commissioner kneeled down to pin the medal on the boy’s shirt. Keaton was one of two firefighters who died last month when a falling tree hit their vehicle.

Reposted from @shanigrimmond – ⚠️ OUR COUNTRY IS ON FIRE – URGENT HELP IS NEEDED ⚠️ This is absolutely heartbreaking 😩 19 people have lost their lives and dozens of people are still missing, with thousands of homes already destroyed. 5.9 million hectares have been burnt (this is four times bigger than the amazon fire) and half a billion animals have been estimated to have lost their lives. To put this into perspective the total area of land destroyed by these bushfires is larger than the whole country of Belgium. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated due to worsening conditions this weekend.

WE NEED EVERYONE TO SPREAD AWARENESS – we need help!! You can donate here – @salvosau, @nswrfs, @wireswildliferescue, @redcrossau 🙏🏼 EVERY cent counts. – #regrann

Can you believe this is Michelle’s natural hair? never knew she had this much folic in her. My girl is basically folically advantaged.

I kept look to see the wig side if this who hair brush, and to be honest she has such luscious hair. My favourite hair girl used to Eva Mandes, but Michelle is about to take that title away from Eva.

Ofcourse I could be wrong, because I have a very low cut that I Rock like not man’s business. So for those of you who are more experienced in that area, can help a sister decide if that is her natural hair length, or just a well inserted procedure.

A little 8 girl Adhara Pérez, who has like every other special kid suffered in the hands of school bullies who found her weird, has been found to be not infact so smart, but too smart that she is said to have higher IQ than the celebrated geniuses from other generations, men like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Little Mexican pride Adhara Pérez, is set to have already graduated high school and is reportedly in the process of earning two degrees online. Most parents are in awe of their kids when their intelligence is made known to the public. This is such a good thing for Mexico and I hole they don’t just leave her alone to end up with nothing. She is Going to be great and do even greater things.

I never thought a day like this would come for me to be making a post about Nigerians having a change of heart and repenting from their incessant consumption of lost and scared animals of both aquatic and terrestrial.🐘🐘🐘🐘🚫🐘🐘🐘🐘🛑

This is what I have been talking about on this blog. Don’t get me wrong, Ofcourse I don’t expect for them to let go / free off every and any animal that they come across in this country, this is majorly due to the high level of Poverty that has left everyone riding on their last survival nerve. 🛑🐘🚫🐘🚫🐘🐘

At this stage people will want to survive before rescuing animals and helping to curb the rate of extinction. But not all eaten animals solves your problem. This baby elepnat might look larger than most other animal babies, but that doesn’t stop it form being a baby elephant.🐘🐘🐘🛑🐘🐘🚫

It is too young for consumption and not right in eyes of some religion. So while we try to always say it is infact hunger that supercedes everyother thing, this is Nigeria and we know that religion is very paramount to us here, so form now on, I will start battling the disturbing rate of animal concumotion in this country with one religious quote or the other.🛑🐘🐘🚫🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️🐘🐘❤️🐘🐘❤️

With that being said, we will like to thank the Edo State people for deciding in unism to save this Abby elephant and take it to a safe haven I think.. 👏👏👏👏👏🐘🐘

I don’t speak lion, but I have an idea that as a human, if you are in a place that you are not treated with the respect and and appreciation thag you long for, especially lacking something as simple as  comfort, then your very next plan is to exit that place by executing an escape plan. Often times we hide when we read news like these, of wild animals in captivity escaping and making it into the society.

If these wild animals were receiving the right amount of meals and care they were promised, then most won’t being escaping, and we humans won’t be as scared as we are when they escape.

This is because a hungry lion will always fight to make it out of captivity so as to hunt for their meals, Since survival instinct kicks when they are about to die from hunger. A lion cannot sit there and die from hunger when they have other options. Tearing down their barricade and go hunting is a very normal thing to expect in this situation.

If is it well fed and catered for, then you will have it sleeping, breeding and just having a time of its life in captivity. Every year in Nigeria this news will always be the main topic. Wold animals escaping to be is the best thing. I hope no one gets attacked by it, but I equally hope it doesn’t get found, because you can only properly  look after an animal in your care when you have first of all looked after yourself. A hungry man can’t feed any hungry lion.

With the soaring rate of hunger and poverty in the land, it is only normal that these animals are left to go take care of themselves alike the good Lord intended.

The fright got fast and deep into Kano residents on Saturday when they were informed of the escape from a zoological garden of a lion. Punchnews reported that the news happened at about 9:00pm when the lion was being put back into its cage after they returned national agricultural show in Nassarawa state.

A source at the zoological garden told NAN that effort was being made to recapture the animal which was still within the zoo premises. We hope and pray that it isn’t still in the premises.  Cos to be honest these animals are not treated well. All these zoos need to be checked regularly by an authority.

In what would be creepy to some people, but a totally good news for Scientist who have eventually given the reason why they get so restless and incredibly all over the place with their discoveries and ideas, that scare us sometimes. The Astronomers of University College London, have boldly come out to say thag they have positively discovered water on a planet. Water means life to the scientist of this planet, and this simply means that the presence of water means that life can exist in/on there.

According to them, this is the first time that they are detecting water on a brand new planet, despite the reality of the situation.

“we have detected water on a planet in the habitable zone around a star where the temperature is potentially compatible with the presence of life.”

Now that this has been established, does that Mean that the men of this planet can now run away to other planets when the woman have caught them. #definitely so men get your new planet visa.

The Sheriff’s Department has Said that  It Did Nothing Wrong  after it was crucified for letting a pregnant woman who was under its care to scream for hours, labour all alone and gave birth right by herself all in the jail as CCTV shows. The news as reported by the media, shows that the lady who called for help for the longest time, was ignored by all the correction officers.  The Denver woman is now said to have filed a lawsuit after she was left alone in a jail cell while giving birth. However, the sheriff’s department claims it followed protocol when it ignored her calls for help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

While she is suspected not to be a white woman to be treated like that, it was revealed that the Latina woman Diana Sanchez is suing Denver Health Medical Center, the city and county of Denver and six sheriff’s deputies and nurses after jail guards denied her medical assistance while going into labor. The incident happened on July 31, 2018, at around 5 a.m. when she was receiving her breakfast.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A closed-circuited video captured the entire ordeal in Sanchez’s cell. In the video, the woman can be seen talking to someone at the door of her cell around 6:30 a.m. When the clock hits 9:30 a.m. Sanchez begins knocking on the cell door, trying to get someone’s attention, which is when her water reportedly broke. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the lawsuit, Sanchez told the jail staff that she was going into labor and she was suffering from abdominal pain. After about 15 minutes, someone slid what her lawyer described as a white folded absorbent pad under the door. Sanchez unfolded it and put it on her cot; she then proceeded to lie on top of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After thirty minutes, Sanchez is seen in pain, screaming, and trying to control her breathing. The entire time she is alone in her cell. One guard then steps into the doorway but steps back out. Sanchez eventually delivered a baby boy, and then a nurse entered the room. “The nurse that finally does come in looks down at the baby that has been born as if it had just dropped down from heaven.

The baby laying in between his mummy’s legs, was then approached by the paramedic man who then reached down to attend with the baby before the video went down.
