World likely to end on September 23, as experts match Great Pyramid, Bible dates A stargazer claims to have “decoded” the Great Pyramid – and discovered it is a “date marker” that reveals when the apocalypse is coming. Staggeringly, it matches a prophecy foretelling the End of Days in the Bible – and it’s next month. As reported by Daily Star, earlier this year, Christian numerologist, David Meade, matched the positions of heavenly bodies with Bible verses, to work out the world will end when a giant planet called Nibiru or Planet X crashes into Earth. His detailed analysis suggested Nibiru will first appear in the sky on September 23, 2017, and crash into Earth in October. The bombshell prediction, made in his book ‘Planet X – The 2017 Arrival,’ was so compelling it was covered across mainstream media in both the US and UK. A number of Christian fanatics have claimed a rare total solar eclipse that will blanket the US in darkness on August 21 will herald the end of the world – a...

1. We have read with utter dismay the statement credited to the Chairman of the Media Committee of the Senate, Dr. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, condemning our daily #ResumeOrResign sit outs. Dr. Abdullahi’s comments were lacking in the depth, insight and critical analysis expected of a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 2. We have also read the statement credited to the FCT Abuja Command of the Nigerian Police Force that it was compelled to disperse today’s sit out because it was infiltrated by miscreants and criminal elements.

It is shameful that Dr. Abdullahi and the Nigerian Police Force deliberately fail, refuse and neglect to recognise that the Constitution of our beloved nation guarantees all Nigerians the right to peace...

With the latest production of Tesla’s mass-market Model 3 now underway, and first deliveries due on Friday, electric cars are about to hit the mainstream. For people driving EVs, it means a raft of changes: plugging in at night instead of hitting the gas station, keeping an eye on a battery meter instead of a fuel gauge, and most importantly, a change in the way they drive. To get the maximum benefit out of driving an electric car, the accelerator (you can’t call it a gas pedal anymore!) controls both the speeding up and slowing down. Pressing the pedal makes the car go, as usual, but lifting your foot makes the car slow down, hard, not coast. It’s a quirk that takes some getting used to. At first, it can feel like the parking brake has been accidentally left on. But most drivers eventually prefer it because it makes inching forward in traffic much easier than swapping your foot back and forth between pedals. In a conventional car, brake pads clamp onto a metal disc, with friction...
