RESIGN NOW AND LET NIGERIA MOVE AHEAD BBOG CONVENER TELLS BUHARI

A convener of the BringBackOurGirls advocacy group, Aisha Yesufu has called on ailing President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.

She lamented in a two minute video posted on social media that Nigeria is being held to ransom over the ill health of the president.

According to her, it is not right for things to be at a standstill in the country because the president is sick and unable to perform his constitutional duties.

She also called on the National Assembly to move to remove the president who has been in London on a medical vacation.

She said, “When are we going to realise that this Acting President (arrangement) is really not just working out? Things are stagnant in Nigeria. For crying out loud, the President is sick, the President is not capable of discharging his duties as President. Why can’t he resign?

“Sickness can happen to anybody; nobody is wishing the President bad. The fact that he is sick does not mean he is going to die today or tomorrow; even someone who is as healthy as I am can drop dead. That is life.

“But for crying out loud, for how long are we going to wait and keep watching everything go into disarray? Who is going to sign the budget? We don’t know. The report on Babachir Lawal (SGF), what is happening to it? Why are we being held to ransom?”

She also lamented that the probe into the activities of some indicted officer was stalled because the president is away, and the acting president cannot take a decision on the matter.

She sited the probe of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal as an example and wondered what was happening.

Yesufu also said, “It’s not about you, Mr President. Can you just take some time off to take care of yourself? May God give you good health, may God have mercy on you. What you are going through is from God and people go through it in different ways, but please, Mr. President, do not allow this to keep the rest of us in bondage.

“And for us Nigerians, it is time we woke up. The Acting President cannot do anything because he wants to be seen as a good man. We need to take our country back. Let the President resign and if he cannot resign, let the National Assembly do the right thing and let us have another President.

“It is not about President Muhammadu Buhari, it’s about Nigeria and right now, Nigeria is suffering and we cannot continue to allow this. Please, we have a lot of people who are supposed to be sacked but they cannot be sacked”, she lamented.

CAN YOU SEND YOUR LOVED ONE ASHES IN TO SPACE FOR $2500?

A San Francisco-based Elysium Space company which describes itself as a "memorial spaceflight" company, which is made of former NASA personnel and funeral experts, is planning to send the ashes of dead people into orbit. The company said that it plans to book  a flight on one of Elon Musk's SpaceX rockets.
The business aims to "change the vision of death from the underground to the celestial."

"For about 2 years, our memorial spacecraft will respectfully and peacefully orbit the Earth," Elysium Space CEO Thomas Civeit, told CNBC. "Eventually, in a last poetic moment, the spacecraft will harmlessly re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, blazing as a shooting star."

Each customer who signs up with the company will receive a kit containing a custom ash capsule to collect the cremated remains of their loved one. This is then sent back to Elysium Space and is placed in the company's spacecraft. This will then be launched into orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Family and friends can follow the progress of the spacecraft with an Apple iOS or Google Android app.

So far the company has 100 participants booked and each reservation starts at $2,490. 

The launch date hasn't been set yet, but when it does, it will take place at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California

INDIAN VILLAGERS FLOCK TO WORSHIP GOAT WITH ONE EYE

Villagers in Assam, India were astounded on 10 May when a goat gave birth to a one-eyed offspring. At the time, vets predicted that the blind goat, which  also has only one ear, would die within a few days but it is still going strong and large numbers of people have been visiting the village to see the goat. Villagers believe the goat is sacred, with some locals beginning to worship the animal.

The goat's owner, Mukhuri Das said:

'I was shocked. It's like a miracle and people have been coming to our place to see this baby goat.'
The owner immediately called vets to check on it when it was born. He said: 'They told me it will die in a few days but that was not true.'
'It's my responsibility to take care of the baby goat. I have been feeding him like a normal goat.'
'It might be something from God that the baby goat was born in our house.'
'So many people are coming to our place to see this baby goat. We are happy that it's making us famous.'

The goat suffers from a congenital condition known as cyclopia, it occurs when the left and right hemispheres of the brain do not separate as they are meant to early on in pregnancy.

 This leads to the formation of a single central cavity with one eye, or sometimes partially fused or separate eyeballs. Other animals including  horses, pigs, cows and cats have been known to suffer from the condition.

Creatures with the condition are normally stillborn or die shortly after due to breathing and brain problems.
