Nigeria more divided today than pre-civil war era —Atiku

Atiku AWKA—FORMER Vice President and Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar yesterday described Nigeria as a nation at a crossroad because her people elected a president in 2015 who had succeeded in dividing them.  Addressing Anambra PDP delegates to the forthcoming presidential primaries of the party in Awka, Atiku urged Nigerians to unite to ensure that All Progressives Congress, APC, does not return to power in 2019. He said: “Our country is at a cross road. I have never seen this country so divided than it is today. We are more divided as a country today simply because we mistakenly elected a president who has succeeded in dividing us the more.  “I saw the pre- civil war days, the civil war days and the post civil war days, but I have never seen Nigeria as divided. Under this government, Nigeria is more divided than the way it was during the Nigerian civil war.  “We elected a government that is completely ins

Oumuamua Isn't from Our Solar System. Now We May Know Which Star It Came From

An artist's depiction of Oumuamua, the first detected interstellar object.  Original Image Credit: M. Kornmesser/ESO Ever since astronomers spotted 'Oumuamua, the  first-ever object  from beyond our solar system, it has offered  more questions than answers : — What is it? Where did it come from? Why is it so darn weird? But a team of scientists has announced they may have made major progress on that second question, narrowing down the object's origins to just four stars. The research is based on data gathered in June that suggested  'Oumuamua wasn't just hurtling through space willy-nilly. Instead, it seemed like when the object was near the sun, it picked up a bit of extra speed, as if, like a comet, it carried something like ice that could turn to water vapor and propel the object forward a little faster than usual. Accounting for that fact nudged 'Oumuamua's entry trajectory into our solar system a bit. (Scientists only spotted the object on i

Rheumatoid arthritis

Overview Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition also can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. Rheumatoid arthritis An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis is what can damage other parts of the body as well. While new types of medications have improved treatment options dramatically, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause physical disabilities. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include: Tender, warm, swollen joints Joint stiffness that is usually

Can Apple’s iPhone XS camera catch up to Google’s Pixel?

Photo by Dieter Bohn / The Verge As ever, the camera system is one of the most important features in  the new iPhones . Apple’s SVP of product marketing Phil Schiller played the same role he always does at each iPhone announcement, breaking down the camera technology in depth and explaining the improvements. This year he went as far as to pronounce that the iPhone XS will hail “a new era of photography.” But the days where Apple held a major lead over every Android manufacturer are long gone. Google’s  innovative approach to computational photography  with the Pixel line means they’re now the phones to beat in terms of pure image quality, while competitors like  Samsung’s Galaxy S9 Plus  and  Huawei’s P20 Pro  have strong claims to supremacy in areas like low-light performance. The iPhone 8 and X have good cameras, to be sure, but it’s hard to make the case that they’re the  best . Can the iPhone XS catch up? The biggest hardware upgrade this year is the new, larger 12-me
