    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.

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.
