Makurdi Flood - achusa village completely submerged

Achusa village in makurdi has been completely submerged under water.

The village which is mostly made of rice farms is apparently the most affected part of makurdi by the flood..
It's a sad sight...

Ps: for those wandering what caused the flood, it's just collected rain that can't find its way to the river.. It's not the dam in Cameroon...

Let's just hope and pray that the dam doesn't overflow this year or else it would be a disaster

In the hunt for extraterrestrial life, one of the best places to look is Mars. Science fiction authors have been imagining life on Mars for generations, and scientists have been looking for signs of life on the red planet for decades. But new research suggests that life on Mars might be closer to science fiction than science after all. Mars is not a hospitable place. It's always cold, there's almost no liquid water, and ultraviolet light constantly bombards the surface of the planet. Just based on those facts alone, the case for life, at least on anything that's currently alive, does not look good. But there's another factor that makes life on the surface of Mars next to impossible: perchlorates. Perchlorates are chemicals often used in rocket fuels, but several of the orbiters and landers sent to Mars have spotted the chemicals occurring naturally in the Martian soil. A pair of researchers at the University of Edinburgh found that when perchlorates are exposed to ult...

Honda has a new motorcycle that can stand upright with or without a rider, using technology the firm learned from developing a walking humanoid. Unveiled Wednesday at the Tokyo Motor Show, Honda’s Riding Assist-e is an all-electric concept model that constantly assesses its position and moves the handlebar to ensure the vehicle stays upright. Honda's self balancing motorbike can even ride itself and follow its owner to a parking space. Honda says it hopes it could cut down of the number of low speed accidents where owners drop their bikes For years, international bike manufacturers have experimented with various forms of gyroscopes to prevent motorcycles from falling over, said Hiroyuki Nakata, the engineer behind the idea. “But if you wanted to keep something as heavy as a motorcycle standing, you need a large and heavy gyroscopic device and you need to keep turning it,” he said Honda’s device, however, is only the size of a lamp and can be rigged above the...
