The world is changing! Yes, it is no news again that our world is fast changing. The facts are all around us and it doesn’t take so much to notice the impact of the changes. However it is only natural for the changes to occur as the only constant thing in life is change. There is however a difference with the changes happening now as it is occurring at a rate that humans cannot possibly conform with. It is just so fast that the possibility if losing the valued essence of life on our dear planet is so real and imminent except something is done to halt the changes. Humans, the custodians of the planet have not been careful enough and now the survival of the planet lies in their hands. The problem in this part of the world has been the lack of information that would change people’s thinking from “This is normal to we can do something about this” and another problem is the general notion that nature takes care of itself. But in recent times, the obvious impact id eco-rela...

“GMOs, finally approved to be grown in Nigeria” a not so surprising news after all. The country has in recent times been trotting in the darkness of instability and economic uncertainty and it’s just not a big surprise that the oil rich nation would make room for such a decision as to approving the much controversial new wonder of biotechnology that many and more advanced countries in the world have out rightly banned. This rather fast approval which from reports took just a record time of two months from the time of application by Monsato could make the country the fastest endorser of GMO in the world. This seems just like another timely error with potential future consequences. The approval authorization reads thus” After a thorough analysis of the application dossier, risk management plan prepared in connection with the assessment of the application for the permit , it is unlikely that the proposed release will cause adverse impact on the environment and on human health . ...

" It hurts, its just too hot! and it seems the rains won't come down anymore the grounds are baked and mother Earth aches all over  but there is just so much one man can do... tell the other to make a real change while there is still time  else we set ablaze our planet  and we end it all with our hands"

The first quarter of the year in Nigeria has always been noted as usually the hottest period with regards to weather variability and default seasonal pattern. This period is usually characterized with high solar intensity and consequently high temperature build-up which in a lot of ways causes a great deal of discomfort to people. However, the hot period is often short termed as the raining season breaks the hot cycle with the usually long wet months which invariably usher in the period of plenty (Food production). However, the first quarter of 2016 has recorded the hottest so far in this part of the world. The temperature was unusually higher than favorably normal while the accompanied heat wave broke every precedent record.  And just as if the physiological discomfort is not enough, some food items have taken on the side of becoming very out of reach for the common man. An instance is that of the common and once affordable tomato fruit that has now become so scarce a...

Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth and is notably recognized within the frame of a number of attached identities, such as being the biggest producer of petroleum in Africa. While it is invariably advancing to become one of the top producers in the world, the country has really come a long way as a fossil fuel-based economy to achieving yet another identity as one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in Africa. The country is yet to find a place among the fully industrialized nations in the world that have been well noted as the all time big emitters. In a way, it has gained commonness for being in the category of generating more green house gases, mostly from the fossil fuel industry, which is the basic bedrock of the nation’s economy. Despite the long standing credentials; the cumulative years of being an oil producing nation with the occasional rise and boom seasons of the oil trade, one would expect a massive all round development and being in the...

In the past, the record says men were hunters and gatherers before they learnt the skills of domesticating the wilds. They learnt to raise crops from seeds and they were skillful enough to tame some animals and birds. In a way they were able to contain and manage their environment by being observant and innovative. So the era of hunting and gathering faded into obscurity and man became like gods on earth. They needed more space to contain their growing population and of course they wanted to explore the vastness of the planet. So the forests needed to be cleared and really nothing could stand in the way of men’s advancement for whatever they tend to set their heart on, they achieve. Many animals of the wild had to move away from the potent terror of mankind taking over the shared planet like a plague that has no end. So many species of animals have lost their homes and worse still, some lost the possibility of posterity as men sent them into extinction.  Now the century count...

  Zika virus is fast making headlines all over the world as a new strain of danger in the disease world and in a rather more complicated way, compounding the already existing problem of other life threatening diseases such as Malaria which invariably happens to share a base of similar hosts (Mosquitoes) with the new viral strain. Malaria has dealt with humanity for as long as the records could trace out and most significantly in the humid- tropical world and up till now it still represents the number one causative factor in the case of infant mortality with respect to the developing world. The anopheles family seems to be a bane on humanity as they seem to be capable of wiping out a significant percentage of the human population with their potent killer disease laden capacity. Now the whole world is under another disease scare and yet the possibility of a rapid worldwide spread is notably on the high side, thanks to globalization and to a more important fact...
