UNICEF WARNS: STARVATION MAY KILL OVER 90000 CHILDREN IN NIGERIA IN THE NEXT 12MONTHS

The Northern Eastern part of Nigeria is the major part of the country expected to face the prediction of over 90000 death of children by the UNICEF, as a result of malnutrition as over 1.6million people have lost their homes and have been forced to flee to refugee camps in other parts of the country and other neighbouring countries due to the Boko Haram Insurgence in the Northern part of the country.

Despite the warning made by the UNICEF to the government of the Country, we have heard of nothing so far from the government neither is there any moved been made instead the case is been worsen daily by the mysterious policy of President Mohammed Buhari. Prices of commodities increase on a daily base in the country, restriction of some certain trades and importation of some certain goods are banned. How are parents who have lost their homes and jobs expected to fend and provide for their children? If 90000 children die of only starvation, other illness and causes of death excluded, then what is left for the future of this great country? Should we say our so called leaders are with no heart or they are just been so blinded by that which doesn’t belong to their fore fathers? Every child of this Nation have a right to be ultimately cared for, a right to free medication, free education, a right to utmost security, a right to speak, a right to movement and a right to be listened to. For in them lays the answer to the problems of Nigeria.  
According to the independent interview with Unicef’s chief of communication in the west Africa. Doune Porter, told The Independent that despite attempts to raise global awareness of the crisis in November, the number of children at risk of starving to death has increased further.
Forecasting a "tragedy" if the rest of the world continues to turn its back, she said: “Three months ago we estimated that over the year in the three states most effected by conflict – Borno Yobe and Adamawa —  400,000 would suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition. This projection has now increased to 450,000.
“We continue to be hampered by a lack of funds and by access security in the region. There are a lot of children who we can’t reach because of insecurity and attacks in certain areas.
“If the situation continues where we can’t reach people or we do not have enough funding, we estimate that one in five of these children — 90,000 of them — are expected to die in the coming year.”
Feed a child, speak for a child,  together lets make a move for our young ones , they need us now more than ever.

Every Delayed 2020 Movie Without A New Release Date

Several 2020 movies have seen their release dates delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; here's every film that still needs a new one. With theaters closed down and film and TV production shut-down until further notice, Hollywood's 2020 release calendar has been all but  wiped clean on through to the middle of July  (with a few exceptions which will eventually have to move, as we'll discuss later). There's no guarantee theaters will be reopen for business by that point either, in spite of chains like Cinemark saying  they hope to resume showing new movies  that month. The New Mutants ANTLERS RUN THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW LAST NIGHT IN SOHO SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW GREYHOUND ANTEBELLUM Other Movies On top of all the bigger 2020 movies in need of a new release date after being delayed, there are also smaller indie titles like  Promising Young Woman  and  Saint Maud  (both of which premiered to strong reviews on the film festival cir...

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

#Yara Virus : The New Mysterious Virus Found In Brazil.

Scientists have discovered a new virus in an artificial lake in Brazil. This mysterious virus found in amoebae has been named “Yaravirus.” This latest discovery comes as the coronavirus from China continues to ravage the world. While the world scrabbles around looking for a cure for the deadly coronavirus, scientists have found another virus. Unlike the former which started in  China,  this new one comes from an artificial lake in  Brazil. Independent  reports that this virus named "Yaravirus" was found in an amoebae. It was named after "Yara" or “Iara,” which means 'mother of waters' - a mythical siren/mermaid figure from Brazilian mythology who would lure sailors underwater. Scientists are saying that this virus is mysterious because it has genes that no one has seen before. Reporting the new discovery in  bioRxiv, a  biological sciences website, the researchers wrote:  “We report the discovery of Yaravirus, a new lineage of amoe...
