Check out the World's Largest Aircraft, the size of a stadium
The world's longest aircraft called Airlander 10, which is as large as a
football pitch and as high as six double decker buses, is set to take
its first test flight in a few days time. The unique aerodynamic
balloon-like shape of the Airlander 10 cost $100 million (£60m) to make
and can fly at maximum speed of 92mph for five days straight, it carries
around 10-tons of cargo and can land on water. Some people say it has
the shape of Reality star, Kim Kardashian's Butt..
Measuring 302ft (92m) in length the new airship is about 60ft longer than the biggest airliners, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8.
The Airlander 10 can also stay floating, unmanned, for three weeks even with bullet holes in it was originally developed from 2009 for the US Army, which abandoned the project.

Photos: 64yr -old Ghanaian woman sentenced to 27 months in prison for attemping to smuggle heroin into the U.S hidden in dry fish
A 64-year-old Ghanaian woman was convicted for attempting to smuggle drugs into the US and sentenced to
twenty seven months in prison by a New York City court.
According to the New York Daily News, Rose Amanor was arrested at
Kennedy Airport after disembarking on a flight from Amsterdam last year.
The search revealed she was travelling with three kilograms of heroin
stuffed inside a haul of dry fish. She claimed her son duped her into
carrying the bag
into the city.
Her lawyers
begged for mercy citing her advanced age and poor health, requesting a
short sentence so she could return to Africa. But Federal Judge Eric
Vitaliano was not having it, saying she had told ‘incessant number of
fishy stories'
"I find it totally incredible that Mrs. Amanor didn’t know
what it was that she was doing, Judge Vitaliano said. "It certainly was a
disrespect for the law, sitting in this courtroom and spinning this
incredible tale under oath."
The judge pointed out that if Mrs Amour had not been intercepted, the drugs would have wreaked havoc on young people.
In court, Amanor, who could almost certainly speak English, said she
couldn’t, and requested a Twi translator. This was despite, as the Daily
News put it: ‘that English is the national language of Ghana, and when
she was arrested she was carrying two Bibles, a dietary nutrition plan,
and other documents written in English, and had received numerous emails
from her son written in English.’
Amanor
begged the judge through the interpreter saying: "I am asking you to
have mercy on me so I can go home to my family and enjoy whatever time I
have left with my family

"There is no one best suited at the moment than your excellency, to advise the continent’s leaders on the merits of good governance and enduring democracy”. Your popular mantra of ‘one man one vote’ and ‘my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,’ is a message that must be preached loud and clear on the continent, hence our endorsement. It is with great pleasure that I bring you the news of your selection as the African Leadership Magazine Person of the Year, 2015.
Chief among the many factors we considered was your efforts towards promoting good governance in Africa through the promotion of free and fair elections across the continent. Your recent assignment to Tanzania received accolades and international acclaim, because you discharged the responsibility most creditably.
We resolved that there is no one best suited at the moment than Your Excellency, to advise the continent’s leaders on the merits of good governance and enduring democracy.
The board is fully persuaded that you have served your country, Nigeria, meritoriously, conducted a free and fair election, in which you lost and yet conceded defeat, a development seeing by many in the continent as historical.
Your popular mantra of ‘one man one vote’ and ‘my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,’ is a message that must be preached loud and clear on the continent, hence our endorsement."

Buhari says Nigeria has joined the Islamic coalition against terror
President Buhari during his recent interview with
Al Jazeerah, said Nigeria has joined the Islamic
Coalition against terrorism being championed by
Saudi Arabia.
“We are part of it because we’ve got
terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows
which claim that they are Islamic. So, if
there’s an Islamic coalition to fight
terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it
because we are casualties of Islamic
terrorism,” he said
When asked whether Nigeria joined the coalition
during his meeting with King Salman Bin Abdul-
Aziz of Saudi Arabia recently, Buhari said “yes.”
Buhari queried the position of some Christians
in Nigeria who have opposed Nigeria joining the
coalition. He wondered why such Christians had
not gone to fight Boko Haram in the North or
militants in the South.
“Why can’t those Christians that
complained go and fight terrorism in
Nigeria or fight the militancy in the
South. It’s Nigeria that matters, not the
opinion of some religious bigots,” he said
On whether he was trying to change the
religious identity of the country, Buhari noted:
“How can I change the religious identity of
Nigeria? No religion advocates hurting the
innocent and just because the Muslims are the
ones that claim to be Boko Haram and they are
killing innocent people whether in the church, in
the bus or in the market place, then I will just
sit and look at them because I too am a
Muslim? Islam is against injustice in any
form.”he said
