Three Men. Eleven Days. One Impossible Journey.

Three men from Nigeria survived an almost unbelievable crossing of the Atlantic — 11 days clinging to the rudder of a massive oil tanker headed for Spain’s Canary Islands. With nothing but hope and sheer determination, they hid just above the waterline of the Alithini II, a ship that left Lagos and traveled more than 2,700 miles toward Europe.

Down there, only inches above the rolling ocean, the world was a strip of metal and endless water. They had almost no food, no shelter, and no protection from the freezing nights or the violent waves crashing beneath them. Every hour became a fight against exhaustion, hunger, and the fear of slipping into the sea.

When the tanker finally reached Las Palmas, Spanish coast guards spotted the three men — thin, dehydrated, but alive — and pulled them to safety.

Those men deserve a better life than the one they have.The world is a very unfair place for so many people.
We are a lucky nation despite our problems.

They’ve discovered electricity in thin air and it could change everything.

Japanese researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology have developed a matchbox-sized device that can generate electricity from humidity alone. No sun, no wind, no motion just the invisible water molecules already floating around us.

The technology uses a network of nanomaterials to attract ions from the air; when these ions interact with the device, they create a steady electric current. In early tests, a single unit powered small sensors continuously proving that the atmosphere itself can become a constant, silent energy source.

Unlike solar or wind, this power works in darkness, stillness, and silence no batteries, no turbines, no pollution.
If scaled, it could provide clean power for remote areas, disaster zones, and homes without relying on traditional infrastructure: harvesting the very air we breathe.
