The first computers were massive machines that could fill an entire room.

Devices like the ENIAC weighed more than 25 tons, relied on thousands of glass vacuum tubes, and used a huge amount of electricity.

Despite their size, they could only handle basic math that a simple modern calculator or a smartphone can now finish in a fraction of a second.

Today, the power that once required a whole warehouse and a large team of workers has been shrunk down to fit on a tiny silicon chip.

In less than 100 years, technology has moved from giant, heavy hardware to nearly invisible parts. Looking ahead 50 years, experts predict that computers may disappear into the world around us.

We might use "biological" computers made of living cells, quantum machines that solve impossible problems instantly, or even brain-linked devices that allow us to control technology with just our thoughts.

JERUSALEM, March 10 (Reuters) - The Israeli military illegally used white phosphorus munitions over homes in the southern ‌Lebanese town Yohmor on March 3, posing a threat to civilians, Human Rights Watch ‌said in a report on Monday.

"The incendiary effects of white phosphorus can cause death or cruel injuries that result in ​lifelong suffering," Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in the statement.

Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle in Ghana are painful but important places in African history. These forts were used during the transatlantic slave trade, where many Africans were held in dark dungeons before being shipped away. Today, they stand as reminders of what happened — and why we must always remember.

Flint stone is a hard, dark gray or black natural rock formed from microcrystalline quartz (chert). It was one of the most important materials used by early humans thousands of years ago for making tools and starting fire.

Gbenga Adeboye

Entertainer & Broadcaster

Gbenga Adeboye was a pioneering Nigerian comedian, broadcaster, and satirist whose voice helped shape modern radio entertainment in Nigeria. Renowned for his sharp wit, cultural intelligence, and fearless social commentary, he used humor not just to entertain, but to educate, critique, and preserve Yoruba oral traditions.

He was a founding member of the Freelance and Independent Broadcasters’ Association of Nigeria, an independent corporate body established to uphold professionalism, creativity, and ethical standards among qualified broadcasters outside government-controlled media.

Adeboye’s work blended comedy with deep insight—mocking excesses of power, spotlighting everyday struggles, and giving listeners a mirror through laughter. His influence endures in Nigeria’s broadcasting landscape, where satire remains a powerful tool for storytelling and civic reflection.

Lagos has come a long way—especially when you look back at the colonial era. Its location along the Lagos Lagoon made it a strategic choice for the colonial administration, turning the city into a major center of British rule and commerce at the time.

These photographs, sourced from the Time Magazine archives, offer a rare glimpse into Lagos in the 1800s. They capture a city under colonial control, when Europeans dominated political power and urban planning shaped daily life.

What stands out in these images is the sense of order—well-laid streets, structured neighborhoods, and a city that reflected the priorities of its rulers. Lagos was already evolving into an organized urban space, long before the fast-paced megacity we know today.

The old days carry their own charm and lessons.

I was standing at the bus stop in Ojota when one guy beside me lit a cigarette.
After two puffs, he started coughing badly.

I shifted small and said,
“Bros, smoking no good o.”

He laughed, waved his hand and replied,
“I no be smoker. I just dey smoke.”

Then he paused, looked at the cigarette, crushed it on the ground and added,
“But make I tell you truth… smoking is dangerous. If you never start, abeg no try am.”

For once, the smoker sounded like a non-smoker.

Story of the Ikeja Bomb Blast — January 27, 2002

On a day like this, 27 January 2002, a devastating explosion rocked the Ikeja Military Cantonment in Lagos, changing Nigeria forever.

What started as a fire outbreak inside the military armory triggered a series of massive explosions, throwing the city into chaos and fear. Many residents thought Nigeria was under attack or that a coup was underway.

The blast was heard and felt up to 30 miles away. Tremors collapsed homes and shattered windows as far as 10 miles from the epicenter.

According to the Red Cross, at least 1,000 bodies were recovered, while many others were reported missing and never found.
Over 5,000 people were injured, and more than 12,000 residents were left homeless, with entire neighborhoods destroyed.

In panic, about 20,000 people fled Lagos on the night of the explosion. Survivors gradually returned over the following week to scenes of loss and devastation.

Military reports later stated that the disaster was caused by a bomb that detonated inside the armory, setting off other stored explosives.

In a moment that remains unforgettable, President Olusegun Obasanjo visited the Ikeja Cantonment barefoot, addressing victims and assessing the damage firsthand.

The Ikeja Bomb Blast remains one of the deadliest peacetime disasters in Nigerian history.

About two weeks after I arrived in Lagos, I was still looking for a job. Everything felt new and strange—so different from my hometown. People moved fast, streets looked unfamiliar, and I didn’t know anyone. I was jobless, tired, and weak from not working, but I refused to give up.

I called one of my in-laws, Hassan, and we decided to check a construction site for work. We searched and searched, but nothing worked out.

On our way back, we passed another site and saw some older men sitting on wooden timbers, using blades to cut their hands and applying some kind of traditional medicine. They waved at us to come closer.

I told Hassan, “Don’t go near them. We have no business there.”

But I, feeling bold, stepped forward on my own. I didn’t look back.

Suddenly, a huge stick hit my shoulder. My heart sank—I was terrified. I dropped to my knees and pleaded,
“Please… I was just scared of what you were doing. That’s why I didn’t join!”

After that, they finally let me go.

Even today, I cannot forget that moment—the fear, the pain, and the relief all mixed together. It was my first real lesson in how unpredictable life in Lagos can be. #LagosLife #CityStories #SurvivalInLagos #JobHustle #NewCityAdventures #FearAndRelief #LifeLessons

When I first came from Kogi to Lagos, my uncle told me,
“Once you reach Ojota, just look for a bus going to Ikorodu Garage.”

Simple, right?
I thought so too.

I got to Ojota and started listening carefully to the bus conductors.
One was shouting “Berger! Berger!”
Another was yelling “Ketu! Mile 12!”

But the one I was waiting for Ikorodu Garage, never came.

Instead, all I kept hearing was one strange shout:
“Agric kóódù! Agric kóódù!”

I stood there for almost 40 minutes, confused and frustrated, scanning faces and listening harder.
“No,” I kept telling myself, “this one is not Ikorodu Garage.”

Finally, I walked up to one man and asked,
“Abeg sir, where is bus for Ikorodu Garage?”

The man looked at me, smiled, and said,
“You hear ‘Agric kóódù’? That one na your bus.”

That was the day I learned my first real Lagos lesson:
In Lagos, don’t expect your destination to sound like it does in your address book.
Here, pronunciation has its own rules—and if you don’t ask questions, you’ll wait forever.

And just like that, I entered my Lagos life.

Wizkid Is Owing Me Money: VDM Reacts to Old Video Amid Begging Claims

Social media critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has responded to an old video resurfaced by Wizkid’s fans, who accused him of begging the singer for money. Amid his ongoing clash with Wizkid FC following his involvement in the Wizkid–Seun Kuti online feud, VDM claimed the narrative was false. In a now-deleted video, he alleged that Wizkid actually owes him money for using his catchphrase “Don’t Play” in the 2022 song Diamond from the More Love, Less Ego album. VDM said he trademarked the phrase and displayed documents to back his claim, insisting his earlier message was about compensation, not begging. The claim sparked mixed reactions online, with many fans dismissing it and criticising the outspoken commentator.

JUST IN

“What pained me most about Destiny Boy’s death,” says Iya Ogba, “was seeing the video where pliers and a hammer were used to remove his gold teeth. The people around him that day need to be arrested. They allowed too much access to his dead body.”

Destiny Boy was just 22 years old (Oku Ofo). Who on earth is happy seeing the body of a 22-year-old?

“I burst into tears when I saw that traumatizing video. Why didn’t you allow him to be buried with his teeth? Those greedy people removed them to sell, and you still had the mind to collect the money after selling them. Where is your conscience?”

Iya Ogba continues:
“Where were his parents and family members when they were removing the teeth? This shows people only care about you when you are alive. Nobody truly cares about your dead body. Enjoy your money while you are still alive. Some family members only care because you are giving them money.”

IShowSpeed Explains Why He Ignored Peller, Other Nigerian Content Creators

Popular YouTuber IShowSpeed has finally addressed criticism over snubbing Peller and other Nigerian content creators during his recent visit to Nigeria.

Speed explained that his Africa tour was focused on showcasing local culture and street talent, rather than building clout with established social media stars. Despite Peller chasing Speed’s convoy on a horse and even attempting to climb his vehicle, security repeatedly turned him away.

The YouTuber added that influencers already have platforms, while his goal is to give global exposure to everyday Nigerians.

Oga ooo… I am deeply disappointed,” Dr. Kemi Olunloyo said emotionally.

She expressed shock and disappointment at Dr. Adedeji Adeleke for publicly referring to her—an investigative journalist—as a mad woman.

According to her, she expected Dr. Adeleke to address serious unresolved issues, including what truly caused the death of Davido’s mother and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of some of Davido’s close friends. Instead, she said he chose to hold a press conference to insult her and deny the existence of his alleged biological granddaughter.

Dr. Kemi stated that the denial was based on claims that Ayo, Anu’s mother, is a prostitute—an allegation she strongly condemned.

She explained that her passion for Anu comes from a place of concern, saying she does not want the child to suffer or be abandoned.

Dr. Kemi further revealed that she was the one who initially opened Anu’s Instagram page to create awareness after Davido allegedly attempted to silence the girl’s family. She said she later handed over control of the account to Anu’s mother. Now 13 years old, Anu, she said, only wants to be acknowledged and treated as one of the Adeleke daughters.

Addressing another controversy, Dr. Kemi clarified that her own son never denied her on social media, explaining that individuals impersonating him online were actually her cousins.

She concluded by vowing to continue fighting for Anu until the Adeleke family acknowledges the child, insisting that Anu does not deserve the hardship she is currently facing.

Dr. Kemi Olunloyo reportedly broke down in tears while sharing her side of the ongoing Anu vs. the Adeleke family controversy.

Abdullah Trained Amina Through School — Then Watched Her Marry Another Man

Abdullah was not a wealthy man, but he was hardworking and hopeful. When he met Amina, she was young, focused, and determined to change her life through education. He saw potential in her long before others did, and he chose to stand by her.

From secondary school through higher education, Abdullah paid Amina’s school fees, bought her books, and supported her daily needs. He made sacrifices quietly, often putting his own dreams on hold so she could pursue hers. To Abdullah, it was more than support — it was love, commitment, and belief in a future they would share.

As the years passed and Amina approached graduation, things slowly began to change. The warmth in their conversations faded. Messages became less frequent. The bond that once felt unbreakable began to feel distant.

Not long after Amina completed her studies, the news reached Abdullah — she was getting married to another man. There was no warning, no honest conversation beforehand. The announcement came like a sudden storm, leaving Abdullah with questions that had no answers.

To Amina, her decision may have been shaped by personal reasons, family expectations, or a different vision for her life. To Abdullah, it felt like a deep betrayal — not just of love, but of the years of sacrifice he made with sincere intentions.

This story is not only about heartbreak; it is about expectations and unspoken assumptions. It reminds us that support, no matter how genuine, does not guarantee commitment. Love must be freely chosen, not implied through sacrifice.

In the end, Abdullah learned a painful but necessary lesson: helping someone rise does not always mean they will remain by your side. Sometimes, you are part of someone’s journey, not their destination.

He walked away hurt, wiser, and stronger — carrying a truth many discover too late: true love is built on mutual choice, not obligation.
