Adeboye said:- “At least our case has not become so bad that we now have to sleep in the graveyard. “No human can solve our challenges in Nigeria, we need divine intervention and If we truly humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and pray, God will answer our prayers. If we refuse to forsake our evil ways and just pray,God will not answer. “It is important that we seek God’s mercy because we manufacture most of our own problems if there is an armed robber, one parent gave birth to such a robber who failed in their responsibility. “We need God’s forgiveness and mercy in Nigeria for us to experience a glorious turnaround.”

The APC acting National Publicity Secretary Mr. Yekini Nabena gave the advice in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday in response to last week protests staged by some leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest atom smasher, just discovered at least two previously unknown particles. The 17-mile (27 kilometers) underground ring near Geneva recently discovered two baryons and a hint of another particle, according to a statement from the European organization for nuclear research (CERN) which runs the LHC. Baryon are fundamental submatic particle that are each made up of three quarks. The quarks, in turn, are even smaller particles that come in different  favour : up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. Each type of baryon has a different mix of quarks. Protons, for example, are baryons and consist of two up quarks and one down quark apiece, according to the statement. The two newly discovered particles are classified as bottom baryons.  The first, named Σb(6097)+, is made up of one bottom quark and two up quarks, while the second, named Σb(6097)-, is made up of one bottom quark and two down quarks. The LHCb (b stands for beau
