We chatted around 8pm on Whatsapp when he asked if there was light and said I should prepare Eba (cassava flour) for him. After preparing it, I put it on the dinning.“I became worried when he did not return home by 9pm. I called his mobile line severally, he didn’t pick.“I called my brother-in-law to help me call him. After a while, he called back to say my husband’s phone was switched off.“When I dialed it, it was indeed switched off. I thought he did not want to come home and didn’t know how to tell me.“The next day, I dialed his number again and it was still switched off. That was when I started calling his friends and they all said they didn’t see him.“I went to the nearest police station in the company of some of my husband’s friends to lodge a complaint on his disappearance.“We were advised to go to lyaganku Police Division.“At the Division, the officers said we should go to their control room, where his information was collected and they called all the police stations in Oyo State to know if he was in police custody.“The Divisions called back that he was not in any of them.

While its transformation has been decades in the making, this leather-lined limo has reached a point where it's nearly six-figure starting price seems an appropriate ask. The cabin features upscale finishes such as leather, wood, and thickly-piled carpeting. And there’s plenty of tech too. You can choose either a turbocharged inline-six or a thundering 523-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine, but all models come standard with off-road-capable features, such as an all-wheel-drive system, a rear-wheel steering system, and an air suspension that can be raised for extra ground clearance. Many Range Rover owners wouldn't dare to venture too far from paved roads, but knowing you could if you wanted to is, in fact, a luxury.An all-electric model of Range Rover is also in the making.> 

Here are the six strongest land animals in the world in no particular order...Gorillas: Gorillas are not very aggressive. They are herbivorous and non-threatening. However, there is no mistake that because Gorillas are the most enormous primates in the world, it is hard not to find them frightening.They have a huge build and very long arms that look very intimidating when they are swinging. Plus, they weigh anything between 200 – 500 pounds and can pack a punch, six times more impactful than virtually any animal. They could very well be the strongest on this list.Elephants: Elephants are the most enormous creatures on land, and while this does not always translate to vicious traits, it suggests build and hefty muscles.The most interesting fact about the elephant’s frame is that it is particularly modified for strength.Another quite interesting part of the elephant’s frame is the trunk. The trunk is strong enough to lift things that weigh up to 900 pounds. This is because the trunk contains very little blood or bone, and is made up of several muscles that clench when lifting one thing or another.Crocodiles: They one of the most powerful creatures to ever exist. It is also one of the most -if not the most- tactical predator in animal history. As one of the only creatures to successfully navigate water/land territories, it makes it very easy for them to launch an attack on their prey, whether they live in the water or lurking carelessly on river banks. What the crocodile lacks in an enormous frame, it makes up for, in the most powerful jaw that can tear through the skin of any creature in the world, leading to their instant death. Also, because of the set of peculiar muscles in the crocodile’s jaw, and the way the teeth are structured, their jaws snap at lights sped when they move in on prey, making for an easy catch.Grizzly Bears: Bears are one of the strongest animals to walk this earth. With incredibly strong forelimbs and a body full of several muscles that enable impressive lifting, bears can engage any predator. Among bears, however, is the grizzly bear; the most vicious of the pack. The grizzly bear had a strong jaw set and an unbelievable litter of teeth and can bite and clench into its victims. Also, grizzly bears have a high tolerance to pain. They can sustain injuries, and still walk for miles till they drop. This is why they are most unrelenting in combat.Tigers: Tigers are one of the most ferocious animals in the world. They come under the categories of hunters (animals that show the most ability on a hunting expedition). The other strong features of a tiger include speed, sight, doggedness, etc.The Rhinoceros Clan: This animal is one of the only herbivores on our list of strongest animals. While its body mass and muscular limbs suggest that this creature is not to be messed with, it is relatively aggressive when left alone. The exhibition of the Rhino’s strength is in the face of disturbance when its self-defense modes are triggered. Three interesting details about Rhino;They can make powerful charges of 30 – 40/mph.The horn in the middle of the rhino’s head is the second most terrifying thing about the Rhino. It is right next to its intimidating mass. When Rhinos are spooked, they may as much as tear down yards and walls. >

According to documented history, events that led to the First World War can be traced to Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was the then heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire, and he was shot and killed alongside his wife on June 28, 1924, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist.At the time, Gavrilo Princip, alongside other nationalists, had the aim of ending the Austro-Hungarian control of the regions of Bosnia, Serbia, and Herzegovina.After he was assassinated, the Austro-Hungarian empire accuses the Serbian government of assassinating Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, as they also saw an opportunity to end the Serbian nationalism once and for all.In terms of alliance, the then powerful Russia was in support of the Serbian nationalists, while the Austro-Hungarian empire waited to ensure that Germany would give them their supper before they declared war on Serbia.This was because the Austro-Hungarian empire feared that with Russia backing Serbia, Russia’s allied countries such as France and maybe Great Britain would back Serbia. After about a week, the allied forces of Russia, Serbia, France, and Great Britain declared war on the allied forces of Austro-Hungarian forces and Germany, and this caused the First World War to escalate.The war witnessed so many battles and advancements by the German forces, who had a large military and soldiers, and they left death and destruction in anything and anyone that stood in their way.While all the battles such as the first battle of the Marne, the eastern front, and the Russian revolution were ongoing, the United States of America was neutral and only focused on selling equipments and ammunitions, as well as sending humanitarian aids to countries that needed them.However, the United States were dragged into the war when the German forces used their submarines to sink both military, cargo and civilian ships in the United States waters. On April 2nd, 1917, the then US president Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany after the German submarine sunk about five US commercial ships.The war then went on till 1918, and in 1919, the leaders of the countries involved in the war decided to have a peace conference in Paris. The aim of the conference was not just to end the First World War but also to avoid future wars that would destabilize the people of the world.On June 28, 1919, a treaty known as the treaty of versatility was signed, and the League of Nations was also formed in 1920 to prevent more coming wars.However, one significant thing happened, Germany was not allowed to be part of the League of Nations, and this made Germany feel that they were tricked into signing the treaty to end the war.The prevention of Germany to be part of the League of Nations started nursing feelings of hatred and distrust. However, Germany was later allowed to become a part of the League of Nations in 1926, until later in 1933 when Adolf Hitler withdrew their membership. The First World War saw the death of about 9 million soldiers.>

A smart businessman known as Scott is cashing out big time as many rich Americans are shelling out millions of Dollars to build iron-cast houses deep into the ground, where they and their family will take refugee in case a nuclear war breaks out. The idea of building bunkers that can survive a nuclear bomb was supposed to be a niche business for Scott, who already made a decent living building storm shelters. Eight years ago, a woman asked him to build a really big storm shelter."I'm like, 'What do you mean by really big?'"She's like, 'I want it 40 feet in length.'"Scott realized that wasn't a shelter; that was a bunker. He expanded his steel fabrication capabilities to accommodate her. "Before I finished that one, someone else had ordered one. Before I finished that next one, someone else ordered one."Scott eventually took $3 million from his storm shelter business and poured it into creating the bunker company.The new venture fit Scott's personality. "I was raised as a prepper," he said. "Nuclear war was always coming."He remains concerned that war is imminent, that an attack will take down the grid, that stores will soon be cleared of food and supplies, and that people will turn on each other. "We are the longest living government in the history of the world without a complete collapse, the United States," Scott said solemnly. "It's our time."The most popular bunker he sells measures 500 square feet and costs $125,000.
