Entertainment – Olamide Is Better Than Burna Boy, Wizkid & Davido As Far As This Is Concerned
Olamide might not be able to rub shoulders with the likes of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy when it comes to international recognition but he’s so good at one thing which they all lack! In the last decade, Olamide turned unknown Artistes into mega superstars and I don’t think he’s stopping any time soon. Apart from being a good Rapper and an amazing Singer, one thing Olamide knows how to do best is – Recruiting and turning Street singers into Super stars. Right from the days of Pelepele, Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold, Viktoh, Xino, Davolee, Temmie Ovwasa, Lyta, Picazo Rhap, and down to the new waves Fireboy & Asake. Olamíde is far ahead of others as far as discovering new Artistes is concerned For me, I know for sure that when it comes to scouting for good Artistes, Olamide is far ahead of Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido.. I can bet it with anyone that Fireboy and Asake won’t be as big as they are assuming they are signed to any of the other big stars record label. Let me drop my pen at this juncture and allow you all do the talking Now, over to you Do You Agree Olamíde Is Better Than Burná Boy, Wízkid & Davído When It Comes To Discovering New Artistes?? Let’s hear from you all as regards this. Drop your comments

Facts – Keeping Milks Fresh With Frogs
Long before modern refrigeration, people in Russia and Finland reportedly placed living Russian brown frogs in milk to keep it fresh. It turns out the curious practice has a basis in science: Recent research on the amphibians’ skin secretions led by Moscow State University organic chemist A.T. Lebedev shows they’re loaded with peptides, antimicrobial compounds as potent against Salmonella and Staphylococcus bacteria as prescription antibiotic In modern times, many believed that this was nothing more than an old wives’ tale, But researchers at Moscow State University, led by organic chemist Dr Albert Lebedev, have shown that there could be some benefit to doing this, though of course in the end you’ll be drinking milk that a frog was in. Ice boxes first became available to consumers in the early to mid-19th century and, with that, the ice trade became big business, New England and Norway became major purveyors of ice, but anywhere it was cold, ice was a major export. Usually made out of wood with tin or zinc walls and insulation material like sawdust, cork, or straw, ice boxes were popular until they were rendered obsolete by the electrical refrigerator starting around the 1930s. Jacob Perkins invented the first version of the refrigerator in 1834 when it was discovered that the hazardous compound ammonia, when liquefied, had a cooling effect. But it wasn’t until the late 1920s when Freon was developed by General Motors and DuPont as a “nontoxic” cooling agent, and replaced ammonia, that refrigerators for consumers started to gain traction. Despite the prevalence of ice in parts of Russia, in certain small rural Russian villages many didn’t have access to ice boxes, so they had to find ways to keep things cold and unspoiled, A practice developed, that continued into the 20th century, as described by Dr Lebedev from memories from his childhood.
