NIGERIAN MILITARY SAYS BOKO HARAM LEADER, SHEKAU, FATALLY WOUNDED IN DEADLY AIR STRIKE

In what one could describe as the most unprecedented and spectacular air raid by the Nigerian Airforce, we have just confirmed that as a result of the interdiction efforts of the Nigerian AirForce, some key leaders of the Boko Haram terrorists have been killed while others were fatally wounded.

The said air raid took place last week Friday 19th August 2016, while the terrorists were performing their usual Friday rituals at Taye village, Gombale general area within the Sambisa forest, in Borno State.

Those Boko Haram terrorists commanders confirmed dead include Abubakar Mubi, Malam Nuhu and Malam Hamman, amongst others. While their leader, so called “Abubakar Shekau”, is believed to be fatally wounded on his shoulders. Several other terrorists were also wounded.

STUDENTS WHO USE SOCIAL MEDIA SCORE LOWER IN MATH, READING AND SCIENCE

New research shows frequent social media use is linked to lower math, reading and science scores among students.

Fifteen year olds who play online video games score above average in math, reading, and science, while those who engage in social networking tend to score below average, according to an analysis of international assessment data.

The study, conducted by Albert Posso, an associate professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, and published earlier this month in the International Journal of Communication, looked at about 12,000 Australian students' results for International students' Assessment.

PISA is administered every three years to 15 year olds from dozens of countries around the globe. The tests measure students' knowledge and application of skills in the three subject areas. Students also answer survey questions about a variety of topics, including their Internet use.
