Human remains found on a glacier close to Switzerland’s famous Matterhorn have been confirmed to be the body of a German climber missing since 1986.
The discovery is the latest in a number of long held secrets that the Alpine glaciers, now rapidly shrinking due to climate change, have revealed.
The body was discovered earlier this month by climbers crossing the Theodul glacier above Zermatt.
They noticed a hiking boot and crampons emerging from the ice.
DNA analysis showed the body to be that of a German climber, who disappeared 37 years ago. A huge search and rescue operation at the time failed to find any trace of him.
Police did not name the climber but said he was aged 38 when he went missing during a hike.
The Theodul glacier, like glaciers across the Alps, has shown a marked retreat in the last few years. It is part of Zermatt’s famous year round ski region, the highest in Europe.
But the alpine ice fields are especially sensitive to global warming. Until the 1980s the Theodul was still connected to its neighbour – the Gorner glacier – but the two have now split apart.
Almost every summer, the melting ice reveals something, or someone, lost for decades. Last year the wreckage of a plane that crashed in 1968 emerged from the Aletsch glacier.
The House of Representatives has raised concerns over the ongoing flood ravaging communities in Akwa-ibom state.
This follows a motion of urgent public importance moved by Honourable Uduak Alphonsus during plenary and it was seconded by Hon. Bassey Ekpenyong.
Honourable Alphonsus in leading the debate called on NEMA, as well as the Federal Ministry on Humanitarian Affairs, the Niger Delta Ministry and other relevant agencies of government to provide welfare palliatives for the victims and relocate them to safer grounds until they are safe to be brought back home.
The Chairman, House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Ejikeme Mmesoma, Honorable Soli Sada has commended the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, for the technological innovations deployed by the board for the conduct of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Sada gave the commendation when the ad-hoc committee visited JAMB headquarters in Abuja, applauding the examination body for fortifying its operations against criminal infiltrations.
He congratulated the board for generating enough revenue for the federation account, adding that JAMB is one of the public institutions with quality governance.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, revealed to the committee that the board can communicate with all the states and also relate with the candidates during the examinations right from the from the situation room.
Recall that JAMB had earlier remitted the sum of N2 billion as its interim surplus for the 2023 operating year to the Federal Government.
Global Mentorbridge, the nongovernmental group that has been involved in inter-generational business knowledge sharing plans a major event in Lagos next weekend.
Third in a series of international business events by the organization, Global Mentorbridge was inspired as a response to the growing need to bridge the knowledge gap between older generations of business leaders and young entrepreneurs to enable smooth cross-pollination of ideas, knowledge exchange and networking in ways that fosters the building of sustainable businesses.
With the high level of disruptions the internet of things (IoT) has brought to business, older generation of business leaders need to have a grasp of the fast changing business environment, while the younger generation can do with time tested knowledge, experiences, and know-how that has worked and continue to work for the older generation, that is basically what Global Mentorbridge is out to achieve, so says the convener, Ms. Jane Oma, a Spain based change management expert.
The event which comes up on the 4th and 5th of August, 2023 has a lineup of participating business leaders across generations with Prof. Olusegun Sogbesan, Maria Carolina, John Obidi and Dr. Jekwu Ozoemene as speakers. The panelists are drawn from both big and small business owners in Nigeria.
According to Jane Oma, building bridges to link all generations of business leaders became necessary for sustainability and transfer of knowledge.
She pointed that from a study covering nine years carried out by her team, “for the first time ever, there are now 3 generations of business leaders and corporate executives in the business environment.
The ones in their 60s and 70s, the ones in their 40s and 50s and the one in their 20s and 30s, then there are the new entrants in their late teens”, she added.
“With multiple generations now building and leading businesses, it is imperative that we ensure the right knowledge, skills, lessons and insights are seamlessly shared and transferred so as to keep our business ecosystem sustainable.”
This becomes even more imperative against the backdrop of the fact that only 1 percent of businesses in Nigeria survive up to the third generation, while about 5 percent survive to the second generation.
In Nigeria, some well-known family businesses established after Nigeria’s independence are no longer in existence either as family-owned or publicly quoted companies. As of today, only companies owned by non-Nigerian families that have tethered their roots in Nigeria have been able to successfully outlive 3 generations; while the wholly Nigerian owned firms have either gone under or become a shadow of their old selves.
This confirms the saying that “The first generation establishes the family business; the second generation consolidates it; while the third generation throws it all away.”
According to a 2022 Nigeria MSME report, 80 percent of businesses under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in Africa fail within the first five years of their existence despite having the highest entrepreneurship rate in the world.
The report titled ‘fuel for Africa’s next billion businesses’ compiled by Kippa, a Fintech startup that helps small businesses manage financial records, also revealed that 22 percent of Africa’s working-age population start businesses due to various reasons but these businesses lack resources or structure to survive.
Aside the harsh economic environments, lack of access to capital, poor business practices and transition of micro-businesses, knowledge gap is a major impediment to business growth in Africa, and Nigeria in particular.
And this is why Global Mentorbridge provides the platform for crosspollination of ideas and knowledge sharing.
This event, according to the organisers looks to have an assembly of brilliant minds and inspiring leaders across different divides who would gather to harness the power of trans-generational experience and networking for success in business and life on the whole.
“Our goal is to build a global platform that will help experienced business leaders and startup founders – no matter the age, foster meaningful connections, network, knowledge and skill exchange, as well as to encourage the use of mentoring as an effective tool to build bridges,” she said.
On the expectations from this year’s event, Ms. Oma said that the event is basically designed to promote sustainability and knowledge transfer across generations, sectors, and geographies through mentoring, reverse-mentoring, and purpose-driven networking, adding that “It would be deemed successful if we are able to get a minimum of 300 business leaders, management executives and Startup founders to register for and attend the event and then connect, share with and learn from each other and subsequently build mentoring and reverse mentoring relationships amongst themselves.”

mRNA vaccines have caused irreversible heart defects to billions of people around the world, according to a bombshell new study out of Switzerland. A single dose of Moderna’s experimental Covid jab caused high levels of troponin, a protein the heart releases when it is injured, in a large number of recipients who participated in the Swiss study.
“Subclinical mRNA vaccine-associated myocardial injury is much more common than estimated based on passive surveillance,” the researchers concluded.
The paper was published last week in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Heart Failure.
Billions of people around the world have received mRNA jabs. The study suggests a large percentage of these people will suffer longterm heart damage as a result.
Unreported Truths reports: The researchers conducted the tests on 777 employees at University Hospital Basel, one of Switzerland’s top medical centers, from December 2021 through February 2022.
The employees had already been scheduled to receive mRNA boosters and were asked if they would undergo a blood test for troponin levels three days later.
In other words, the researchers conducted “active surveillance” on them to trace potential side effects, as opposed to “passive surveillance” vaccine safety systems like the federal government’s VAERS, which depend on patients or doctors to report problems.
The Moderna vaccinees were a healthy group, with an average age of 37 and few preexisting heart problems. About 70 percent were women.
But post-jab blood tests found that 40 of the jab recipients had highly elevated troponin levels, above the 99th percentile for average women or men. About five times as many people had extremely high troponin as should have in a random sample.
After the scientists removed anyone with a plausible non-jab explanation, 22 people – or 1 in 35 of those they tested – remained injured by the Moderna jab.
The study contained another striking finding.
The researchers reported that 20 of the injured recipients were women, while only two were men. Even adjusting for the fact that more women were tested, women were almost five times as likely to have elevated troponin.
Many large studies have shown that young men are at the highest risk from mRNA-caused myocarditis and pericarditis, or acute heart inflammation, following the jabs. But this study suggests women may be suffering more subtle damage.
Unlike organs such as the liver, the heart cannot regenerate dead muscle tissue. So even a minor cardiac injury can raise the risk for problems years later. In 2016, a long-term study found that people whose troponin levels rose over time had a much higher risk of heart failure and death.
The researchers referred to the damage as “transient.”
That view was somewhat optimistic. The scientists conducted only one follow-up troponin test on the injured people, a day after the first test. The second test showed that many of them, especially those with the highest troponin levels in the first test, had only small declines in their troponin levels.
Without further tests, no one can be sure the declines continued, or how quickly – if ever – troponin levels returned to normal.
In their discussion, the researchers noted that this is the third – and largest – study using blood tests shortly after vaccination to examine post-mRNA heart injury. (The two previous studies took place in Israel and Thailand.) All three papers have shown far higher rates of damage than “passive surveillance” vaccine safety systems.
“Additional active surveillance studies are needed,” they wrote.
But if the last three years are any guide, those studies will not be run in the United States.
Nearly every important finding on mRNA safety has come from researchers based outside the United States – even though Moderna and Pfizer are American companies and the United States administered far more mRNA shots than anywhere else.
When it comes to mRNA safety, American researchers seem to have decided that what they don’t know can’t hurt their careers.
At least they can’t keep the rest of the world from looking for the truth.
A World Economic Forum (WEF) insider has blown the whistle and admitted the globalist’s number one goal is to implant CBDCs as a chip under the skin of every man, woman and child in the world – with or without their consent – and they will stop at nothing to achieve this aim.
According to Professor Richard Werner, the globalist elite have been carefully planning this attack on humanity for decades – and they are now preparing to drop a cluster munition in the heart of civil society to soften people up so they will accept the chip.
If anybody is qualified to talk about the evil agenda of the global elite, it’s Richard Werner. As a rising economist and WEF Young Global Leader in the early 2000s he was personally groomed by Klaus Schwab for a key role in the WEF.
The future was bright for Werner, who as a Young Global Leader had access to Klaus Schwab’s contact list, including all the key strategic partners and stakeholders that Schwab likes to boast about.
Werner worked with the Japanese government and invented quantitative easing. He published books that were picked up by major publishers and became bestsellers, much like Noah Yuval Harari in recent years. Life for Werner on the WEF gravy train was easy. Life was good.
But then his conscience got in the way and he decided he could not continue working for the most evil people in the world and plotting the downfall of humanity.
Since parting ways with the WEF, and finding himself banned from Davos, every major institution in the world has declared him persona non grata.
Cambridge University, one of the leading educational institutions in the world, offered him a job, only to retract it when they discovered he was a Christian who believes “big banks are a cancer on society.”
You might want to listen to what he has to say.
According to Werner, the global elite understand there is a hurdle to getting people to implant the chip under their skin, so they are planning a series of disruptions and crises to prepare humanity to accept a Universal Basic Income, also known as globalized communism, in which the chip will be necessary to receive your monthly stipend.
As Werner points out, the microchips are already here and being accepted by the globalist elite’s most brainwashed victims.
And mainstream media has begun the push for mass adoption.
The next step in the elite’s plan for mass adoption and total control involves the creation of another global disaster.
According to Werner, the moral from dealing with these dangerous, nightmare people is a simple one. Don’t let them implement their agenda. Don‘t let it happen. It depends on you.
The global elite are determined to take authoritarianism to a whole new level, far surpassing anything attempted in Mao’s China or Stalin’s Russia.
The General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements, known as the “Central Bank of Central Banks,” issued a disturbing warning about the future of the financial surveillance state and its plans for a cashless society.
According to Augustin Carstens, central banks will soon have “absolute control” of everyone’s money and the “technology to enforce that.”
According to Werner, we shouldn’t be thinking of CBDCs as a currency at all.
“You have to think of CDBCs as a control system [or a permit system], not a currency,” Prof. Werner explained.
“It’s a conditional currency based on you actually getting that permit. Now, if you happen to be some kind of critic of government policy or a critic of central banks this could be difficult. Or if you dare to step out of the 15-minute city zone, you know, maybe you’ll find that: ‘Oh [my CBDC is] not working’. Of course, these are things we’ve seen already in China. There’s plenty of videos where somebody tries to use it to buy a ticket and it doesn’t work because his social credit scores are low.”
He’s not wrong. China has perfected the system of social control using CBDCs to maintain total control over the masses.
World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab has admitted that China is the model for WEF policies so it is interesting to see the Chinese government roll out plans that mirror his own dream of impoverishing the masses and eliminating private ownership.
Most of the panic-inducing claims of a “climate emergency” is based on “96% fraudulent data”, according to a bombshell new study.
Veteran meteorologist Anthony Watts of the Heartland Institute recently concluded a massive study on the weather and the climate in general. Watts had travelled around the country inspecting meteorological equipment and studying historical weather data from around the globe.
Watts found that the wildfires across North America are nothing new and nothing to do with climate change, despite what the mainstrea media claims.
He notes that in the 21st century, there have actually been far fewer wildfires than in the past.
According to Watts:
Rather than focusing discussion on what the real or imagined harms may be, how to mitigate them, and how to help people, climate activists are taking the opportunity to blame “climate change” for the smoke.
The reality is wildfires are becoming less frequent and severe as the planet modestly warms.
As wildfires become less frequent, it is nonsensical to blame the few wildfires that remain on climate change…
Peer-reviewed studies and verified satellite observations show beyond a shadow of a doubt that wildfires in the long term, mid-term, and short term have become less frequent and less severe as the Earth modestly warms.
The likely reason is the measured increase in evaporation from the world’s oceans, which has resulted in more frequent global precipitation.
That’s not the most disturbing part of the story, however.
When discussing the “modest warming” that the planet has exhibited, the claims must be backed up by solid data.
But as Dr. Watts has examined weather stations around the country, he has discovered that the available data may be nearly useless when attempting to quantify very slight changes in average temperatures.
The claims about warming are completely flawed because more than 90% of the data is “corrupted,” Watts warns.
And the reason for that is the reality that the vast majority of thermometers that NOAA relies on are improperly installed and maintained.
This leads to the recording of artificially higher temperatures.
Watts explains:
A new study, Corrupted Climate Stations: The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed, finds approximately 96 percent of U.S. temperature stations used to measure climate change fail to meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be “acceptable” and uncorrupted placement by its own published standards.
The report, published by The Heartland Institute, was compiled via satellite and in-person survey visits to NOAA weather stations that contribute to the “official” land temperature data in the United States.
The research shows that 96% of these stations are corrupted by localized effects of urbanization – producing heat-bias because of their close proximity to asphalt, machinery, and other heat-producing, heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects.
In order to produce accurate temperature readings based on NOAA’s own published standards, thermometers are supposed to be in natural, “pristine” locations such as fields, forests, or hilltops.
However, Dr. Watts’ research has revealed that more than 90% of NOAA thermometers are in inappropriate places.
96% are in parking lots, on buildings, against brick walls, or in other artificial environments.
The bricks, asphalt, and other human construction materials used in these environments artificially trap heat, leading to a “warming bias” in the collected data.
Thermometers placed in natural settings register lower average temperatures.
That’s not to say that the cities, parking lots, and highways aren’t warmer. They clearly are.
But it’s not because the planet overall is getting warmer.
It’s because we build things that trap and retain more heat than Mother Nature would capture and retain if left to her own devices.
These areas also have multiple man-made influences on temperatures such as vehicles, heaters and air conditioning units, subways, and more people, etc.
Sadly, these facts are ignored by corporate media reports on the so-called “climate crisis.”
Data showing that global temperatures are not increasing wouldn’t make any money for people like “climate czar” John Kerry and his private jet-setting friends, so you’ll never hear them endorse it.
An International Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO is advocating for the full implementation of the recently passed child protection law in Katsina State.
The NGO, Save the Children, SCI says the implementation would create the needed impact and development of the child in Katsina.
The Head of Advocacy And Campaigns, Impact, Accountability, And Learning for the organisation, Vahir Kutluer, who said this during their visit to the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, stressed that the implementation of the law will enable a better future for children in the state.
The Katsina Child Protection Law was signed by former Governor Aminu Masari on December 26, 2020, after much input and push by Save the Children International.
But since 2020, little or no efforts have been made for the implementation of the law, after it was domesticated.
This is why the NGO, led by the Head of Advocacy and Campaigns, Impact, Accountability, and Learning, Vahir Kutluer, is in Katsina, to advocate the implementation of the law.
Governor Dikko Radda promised to give all the necessary support, to see to the implementation of the law, even as plans are underway, to work towards reducing all health challenges that affect mothers and children.
Radda further revealed plans by his administration to collaborate with the NGO, towards making the dreams of children in the state a reality.
The team was also accompanied by the Advocacy and Communications Coordinator in the state, Murjanatu Kabir, and the Advocacy and Campaigns Manager, Edith Gumut, among other staff.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit in St. Petersburg on Thursday. Shettima, who represented President Bola Tinubu at the ongoing second Russia-Africa economic and humanitarian forum, assured President Putin of closer ties between the two nations.
The summit is focused on strategizing to enhance relations between Russia and the African continent, among others. Vice President Shettima is expected to have a series of bilateral meetings with the Russian senior government officials and business leaders to discuss relations between Nigeria and Russia.
Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, on Thursday, vowed to cut down on the cost of governance and fancy lifestyles to overcome economic and security challenges oppressing the state. Furthermore, the governor directed the newly inaugurated commissioner in the state to use their old vehicles as official cars.
He noted that the period was an emergency one, which necessitated tough decisions to survive. Also, the governor set up a Trust Fund to cater to the poor and vulnerable people in the state to cushion the effect of the oil subsidy removal while promising to donate 50 percent of his salary to the fund.
Sani, who spoke shortly after the swearing-in and administration of the oath of office of the new Commissioners at Sir Kashim Government House, Kaduna, on Thursday, acknowledged that the state was confronted with economic and security challenges.
He said: “We count on you to bring your experience and competence to bear on governance in the state. You are coming into our administration at a period when we are confronted with serious economic and security challenges. Creative and innovative steps are being taken to address the challenges.
“Our President took a hard and painful but necessary decision to remove fuel subsidy. We are therefore in a period of emergency. We must cut down on the cost of governance, and ostentatious lifestyle.
“All commissioners must use their old vehicles. If we led by example, our people would follow. Excuses for lackluster performance will not be accepted; we shall strictly assess you based on performance indicators. Anyone who fails to measure up shall be shown the way out.”
The newly inaugurated commissioners are; Former Speaker, Kaduna State House of Assembly, Hon. Abdullahi Aminu Shagali( Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development), Prof. Muhammad Sani Bello (Commissioner for Education); Hajiya Imma Kaltume Ahmed (Commission of Health); Sadique Mamman Lagos (Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs); and a former Accountant-General of the state, Shizzer Nasara Bada (Commissioner of Finance).
Others include a former State Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Barr. Sule Shuaibu (Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice); a former Permanent Secretary, state Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Malam Murtala Dabo (Commissioner of Agriculture); a former House of Representatives Member, Hon. Mukhtar Ahmed Monrovia (Commissioner for Planning and Budget); Hajiya Rabi Salisu (Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development); and a former Lere LG Chairman, Hon. Abubakar Buba (Commissioner for Environment).
Also Mrs Patience Fakai (Commissioner of Business, Innovations, and Technology); Arch. Ibrahim Hamza (Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure); Prof. Benjamin Kumai Gugong (Commissioner of Sports Development); and Auwal Musa Shugaba were however absent from the swearing.
