A source of nutrient that will fertilize a biome of that nature must be an amazing phenomenon of it kind.
Satellite images shows that, large amount of dust from the Sahara reaches the Amazon. The dust contains micronutrients that helps fertilize the rain forest.
**Interesting Facts about the Amazon Forest**
Amazon is the biggest rainforest. Bigger than Congo and Indonesia basin combined.
The amazon rain forest is termed as the lungs of the Earth. It helps the whole planet breath:
Amazon is the largest, most diverse tropical rainforest on Earth:
The Amazon forest get it major nutrients from the Sahara in Africa:
It is estimated that the forest has 40,000 plant species, 3,000 types of fish, 1,300 bird species, 430 mammals, and 2.5 million different kinds of insects.
The river used to run backward some million years ago according to a geological survey in 2006.
A lot of our medicines comes from the forest. The thousands of plant species provide great source for our medicine. Only (1) one percent of the species are tapped.
The forest is banishing at an alarming rate. 30% of global carbon emissions is caused by Deforestation in the amazon. Clearing bush for cattle and paper factories.

I and read.cash (Introduction)
On the 20th of March 2022, I was introduced to read.cash. I am at a game event the 26th NUGA(Nigerian University Games games Association ) which was held at University of Lagos ( Unilag) located at Akoka Mainland Lagos.
The NUGA games is a game were the universities in Nigeria compete every two years to compete in numerous games among the universities. The games include ;
swimming
Athletics
Taekwando
Judo Karate
Karate
Boxing ( started this year)
Football
Basketball
Volleyball
Table tennis
Lawn tennis
Chess
Scrabble
Hockey
73 Universities competed in the above games listed and a winner emerged. The university of Portharcourt (Uniport) was the winner with 120 medals, 61 gold medals, 29 silver and 30 bronze.Followed by Lagos University with 86 medals ranking second place with 33 gold medals, 34 Silver medals and 19 bronze. And the 3rd place was filled by Nile University Abuja (Private University) 15 gold medals,10 silvers and 13 bronze. The difference between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd is vast which made Uniport a super champion.
I represented the University of Maiduguri in swimming, the game was fun, though I didn’t get any medal for my school. I met a lot of friends from all over the country. We shared our individual values, discussed our misconceptions and misunderstandings. My stay at Unilag was fun and memorable one.
read.cash story
We are 13 in numbers in my hostel room, 6 swimmers, 5 Judo players and 2 scrabble players. All playing for the University of Maiduguri.
There I met a Judo player who is always on his phone or laptop, I keep wondering what he does, he is always typing on his laptop or scrolling on his phone. I was very curious on him that I observe him with keen eyes.
Bitcoin cash (BCH)
After two days with my room mate, I had the unique Judo guy talking about Bitcoin cash (BTH) I had him on phone saying “ the random rewarder has visited me”
and he continued;
“and now I am working on getting a sponsor, and the price of BITCOIN CASH (BCH) cash is going to the moon”
When I heard the word “BITCOIN CASH” all I am thinking of is to start earning. When he finished the call, I asked him , how did you get paid? Thats when I got introduced to read.cash, he told me about the random rewarder, about upvote and tips.
He advice me to be active on the platform, write post regularly, engage in others articles and then he lastly said and keep hope alive for the random rewarder to visit you.
I loved being on this platform ( read.cash) for it improves my writing and diction, I met new people which are very amazing to be with, the pool of knowledge is infinite.
Now my hope is to experience the visit of the random rewarder and his rewarder colleagues, such as rusty.
Moon Landing: Myth or Truth.
When spacecraft land on the surface of the moon manned or robot is referred to as MOON LANDING. On 13h September, 1959 the Soviet Union Luna II was the first object from earth that touched the moon. It was one the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the moon and the first man made object to have contact with a celestial body. At the lunch mass of 390.2 it took Lunik II 2 days, 14 hours, 22 minutes, 41 seconds to make impact east of Mare Imbrium.
That is 1959 when the technology advancement is less than the current, the world get more money than those days. But yet it gives the world power had times to maneuver the moon surface with manned spacecraft. And most of the time giving the illusion of frequenting the moon with manned craft.
I Interview some University Student that, if they are to guess when was the last time man land on the moon? Their answer baffles me and it keep me wondering how the media evolve our minds.
Apollo 11 is the first crewed mission to land on the moon on 20th July 1969, and made 6 crewed landings from the first crewed landing to 1972.
United state is the first to make a manned mission to the moon and departed the moon December 1972.
Why moon landing might be a myth.
Since 1972 no spacecraft has ever land on the moon surface with crew. In-facts the number hard landing robot is more than soft landing robots .
Hard landing: Hard landing is the crashing of spacecraft on the surface of a celestial body.
Soft landing: Is the successful landing of spacecraft on the surface of a celestial body.
The fact that with all the technological advancement we have now, no nation dare to send spacecraft to the moon with crew.
We have more space agency both private and government but no one dare to try it. If it has been done in 20th century what’s wrong with 21st Moon Landing
Of course the moon landing is not a myth, but there are a lot of misconceptions about it.
The main misconception is that the moon landing was faked. This comes from the belief that the moon landing was filmed on a sound stage and not on the moon. However, this is ridiculous because there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that humans have indeed been to the moon. For example, hundreds of photographs were taken on the moon during several missions and we still have rocks from the moon! In addition, there are tons of people who were involved in putting people on the moon and none of them have claimed that it was fake.
The other misconception is that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. Although he was indeed the first person to step foot on our closest neighbor in space, others had walked there before him. The first person to walk on the Moon was Buzz Aldrin!
In my own opinion moon landing was real both manned and unmanned, and the question of why man is not send to the moon recently might be a top government secret.
What you need to know about matter.
What is Matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. There are many different types of matter, including solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
Matter is the substance from which everything, including humans, is made. Matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are held together in the nucleus by gluons. The nucleus has a positive charge because of protons and no charge because of neutrons. Electrons have a negative charge, and they orbit the nucleus at high speeds.
What is matter made up of?
The smallest unit of matter is an atom. It is made up of a nucleus (including protons and neutrons) and electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines what element the atom is. Atoms combine to form molecules.
Humans are made out of matter, so we take up space and have mass. We are mostly made out of water (hydrogen and oxygen atoms).
Simply anything around you is matter as far as you can touch it see it or feel it.
What is the end product of matter?
There is no end product for matter; it can be recycled and broken down again and again. For example, when someone dies, their body will decompose over time into just basic elements like hydrogen and carbon.
What is antimatter?
Anti-matter is similar to normal matter but with opposite charge and properties. For example, anti-protons have negative charges instead of positive charges like protons do (anti-matter particles have negative charges while normal particles have positive charges).
Scientists are still trying to figure out if it's possible to create or destroy matter in large quantities; they know that it's possible to do it in small quantities because they do it often with particle accelerators like the Large Hadron
If you have matter, you have to have anti-matter. This is because matter and anti-matter are each other's opposites—to the point that when they collide with each other, they destroy each other and make pure energy.
Matter cannot be destroyed (this would violate the law of conservation of energy) but it can be created in different ways—for instance, by using energy to create particles or through nuclear fusion or fission.
What happens to us when we die?
Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, when humans die they are transformed into hydrogen and oxygen.
So does it mean that the oxygen you breathe might be a 1 billion years old giant?
That means that every atom that ever existed in the universe is still there. The only thing that can happen to them is for them to change their states of energy. They can change from solid to liquid to vapor and back again, but they can't just disappear.
The concept of matter and anti-matter is always debated among scientists, though they have come to a conclusion that matter can be destroyed and anti- matter can be created, but in a theoretical way and almost impossible
Before the big bang the earth is an atom with energy at the nucleus before it exploded to form the observable universe.
Can matter be created in the lab?
Yes, of course matter can be created in the lab. But it brings us down to the concept of matter can neither be created nor destroyed. We might think we created matter in the lab but we just recreate a matter that has been transformed to other form and transform it back to something else.

5 Must Know Before You start Forex.
Forex trading is an acronym for (Foreign Exchange) it simply translate to buying other country currency with another. That is exchanging other currencies from others. Currency. Trading has been practiced since ancient times were gold is exchanged with other commodities. Forex is a market without a market place, a market without a boundary, 24/7 market. A market place without limits and boundary .
In the last century you will need millions of dollars in equity in other to trade the FOREX but, thanks to the internet some brokers give as low as 5 dollar account. But a 100 and above account is best for trading and it involves low risk and high profit.
But, now FOREX had evolve recently beyond currencies, it includes;
Commodities
Synthetic Indices
Stock and indices
Forex
Cryptocurrency
Forex trading has been a trending topic to many and, still being a hot cake in the finance sector and some mistook it as quick money making scheme . Most people come into forex trading to be the Elon Musk of their community or the Sheikh of Dubai. Which is unreal.
There are a lot of fantasy in Forex Trading that new traders develop, and in most cases those fantasies is what brings them into FOREX. What newbies failed to understand is the fact that if forex is a quick money scheme the field would have been saturated that no newbie will breathe.
“FOREX is a game of patience, resilience, hard-work, savings, discipline, knowledge, perseverance, curiosity and selflessness.”
5 MUST KNOW BEFORE GOING FOR FOREX (FOREX EXCHANGE).
(1) Knowledge
Deciding to trade is also a knowledge of it own kind it means you know what FOREX is and, had finished your primary assignment. What remains now is how to trade. By deciding to trade you must have finished researching how the thing goes.
Youtube do give knowledge but have it at your mind that your favorite Youtuber has a paid class too, that means what you see on youtube is just like the tip of an iceberg. You will be fed 100 junk before getting 10 goodie.
Paid FOREX classes are everywhere,I know of few forex classes which give lessons online/offline and also provide signals for traders at an affordable prize of as less as 50$. ( Comment if interested to link you up with your online couch). Other professional lesson charges as much as 1000’s of dollars and extra more for special classes. Learn about forex from a mentor before setting your self to freedom. Knowledge come with freedom, if you have it then,“Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last,” ~*Nelson Mandela.*
(2)Equity
Yes, of course every business need capital to start. Equity is the capital in FOREX. You can start trading with a 5 dollar account but such equity is a charity you are donating to your broker. FOREX mentors who use to say they can flip 50 cent account to a 50 dollar account are just hunting for your few dollars for you to pay them for a course, or to request for your account details so they can trade for you. And in the process few dollars will be used by a stranger to practice the market on a real account.
No body will make money for you, your are on your own.
As a beginner I will advice you not to use demo account for a very long time, Because Demo accounts are emotionless meaning, you feel nothing for a loss or win and you don’t think before placing a trade which is not the reality with a real account.
Save as much as you can and have patience in doing that, than to start trading with a low equity. Practically, if you blow ten 10 dollar account, is the-same thing as blowing a 100 dollar account. Is easy to break a stick but is harder to break a bundle of broom. My advice for you is to save, save and save, and it should not be less than 100$.
Is easy to break a stick but is harder to break a bundle of broom. *~ abubakarmuktar*
(3) Discipline
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” *~ Jim Rohn.* If you want to succeed in FOREX discipline is the first commodity you are going to Adopt the moment you choice to start trading.
If you can’t respect the goals you set trading is not for you. Successful traders are disciplined traders. For a 100$ dollar account you target should not exceed 10$, and when you make your target exit even of the signal is winning. When you are carried away the market will be stormy and, before you know you will be sitting on a negative balance. Discipline your self with when, where, how , target and also time to trade.
(4) psychology
The-same event that makes you happy will make you sad too. It all depends on your state of mind. Never make trading decisions when you are sad, angry, over joyous, disturbed or any state of mind which is not the usual you. Always go into a trade when you feel most comfortable and mentally ready. Don’t opt into a trade you have doubt. If you have issues controlling the mind, try talking to an expert.
(5) Greed
If you want to have a successful career in trading, shun greed, run away from greed in-fact, delete the word greed from your register. Development is a slow and gradual process, it is an incremental effort. You have to go slow and steady in any other aspect of your life. And, extra careful for monetary issues such as, FOREX. You won’t make it over night, know this and have peace.
My trading story.
August 2019, I was a newbie in trading with my few dollars account that a mentor on youtube said you can flip it, just by following his tips on social media. I was a faithful follower always on his page and continuously blowing my trading account of 20 -30 dollars. When ever I loss I go back to his page and watch some motivational videos which I later realize it was all set up to keep subscribers active on his channel.
The last mistake that reset me to my initial settings was when my so called mentor message me that he has seen my losses and, that he will help me recover all my losses in few hours, that I should give him my logins. As a new trader my mentor is everything to me . I gave him my logins. After some hours my account is double, the ecstasy is beyond normal. I said to my self, my dream of riding my favorite car will soon come to reality. Thinking after a day of the doubling saga I be a millionaire.
Guess what?
The account is zero, Mr. Mentor has done it again. Let me cut the story short, my account was at 0.50 $ when I got access back, telling me to refund my account that, the market was not steady the last time.
Well, I refund my account but I follow the steps above from 1 down to 5. And now I can say I am a happy trader.
Thank you so, much for your time.
