    A 12-year-old Nigerian boy, Chika Ofili has been awarded the TruLittle Hero award for discovering a new way to divide in mathematics. Chika's mathematic's teacher, Miss Mary Ellis who is also the head of the mathematics department at Westminster Under School said he (Chika) discovered the new formula while solving a holiday assignment. She revealed that she gave Chika a book called First Steps for Problem Solvers (published by the UKMT) to study during the holidays. The book had several divisibility tests which are used to quickly work out whether a number is exactly divisible by either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 before you start dividing, but had no easy or memorable test listed for checking divisibility by 7. Chika however solved this and also had an algebraic proof to back it up. His new formula involves taking the last digit of any whole number, multiplying it by 5 and then adding it to the remaining part of the number to get a new number. If this new number is...

     It is therefore instructive an d demanded that all military operators on election day wear the number 5 regular uniform. Anyone on black on black will be treated as a thug. I call on the Chief of Army Staff not to allow the basterdization of the military by a desperate power monger. On our part we will defend our votes with the last drop of our blood. No responsible society will accept the barbaric culture of impunity and Satanism operating in Kogi state. Where hoodlums will go to a party office burn it up and no arrest or action taken. Even when the said office is less than 400 meters away from the police HQ. The ballot will prove again that it is stronger than the bullet. With God on our side we (Kogites) will sing a new song. Sen. Dino Melaye. One more photo below.
