5 dolphins wanted for service in the military

By
The Russian military is looking to employ five bottlenose dolphins in a contract worth 1.75 million rubles (125 million Naira), according to a notice posted by the Defense Ministry on the government's procurement website.

According to the tender, the contractor must catch three male and two female dolphins between the ages of 3 and 5 by Aug. 1.
The length of the dolphins' bodies should not exceed 2.7 meters (the average size for this species).
The specific objectives for the use of dolphins were not disclosed. It is possible that Russia is resuming a large-scale training program for marine "saboteurs."
Until the collapse of the USSR, dolphins had been intensively trained at the research oceanarium in Cossack Bay in for underwater operations, including demining, mining, anti-saboteur missions and reconnaissance.
Russia is not the only one using sea animals for defense purposes. The American combat dolphin training center is located on the U.S. naval base in San Diego, California and has 85 dolphins and 50 sea lions.
The animals are trained to perform various tasks, including clearing mines, and even operating in concert with drones.

So it goes like this; dial this code: *88567*the victims number*the amount of data you want to collect*131# Note: If the individual doesn’t have upto that amount you tried collecting... It will not work you will surely get an invalid response. After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please... Goodnews is that this cheat works for atleast 70% of mtn sims... Badnews is that this operation must be carried out u...

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

By
Originally published on Herald Newspaper.   “When men attain power, they go crooked.” This piece is coming from an author, I, and the introductory quote is quite dubious enough but the truth is perpetually bitter. To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
