Some Hiding Facts About Africa

There is so much about Africa that not everybody knows, even some of those who are from and live in Africa did't know it. Below are some things most people don't know about Africa.

Africa is Home to One of the Oldest Universities in the World
The University of Timbuktu is one of the oldest universities in the world, established in 982 CE. After Timbuktu was occupied in the 1591 Battle of Tondibi, the University went into decline and many of the University’s scholars were killed or exiled.

The World’s Biggest Frog is Found in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon 
The world’s biggest frog, also called the Goliath Frog or Conraua Goliath, which can grow up to a foot long and weighs up to 8lb, has a small habitat range in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. The number of this species has dwindled over the years because of habitat destruction and its collection for food and pet trade. The frogs have now been classified as an ‘endangered species’.


Sudan Has More Than 200 Pyramids, Which is Double the Number Found in Egypt 
The Nubian pyramids in Sudan were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdom. The pyramids are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Approximately 255 pyramids were constructed at the three sites in Nubia (Kerma, Napata and Meroe) over a period of some hundred years. The Meroe pyramids, which were part of the Nubian Kingdom of Kush, are believed to be up to 4,600 years old.

Africa is the Only Continent to Extend From the Northern Temperate Zone to the Southern Temperate Zone 
Africa is considered the world’s hottest continent and the second driest continent after Australia. It is four times the size of Europe, and its straighter shores means it has a shorter overall coastline.

During the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan in 2013, The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seized houses belonging to Timipre Sylva, the former governor of Bayelsa State, but now it has been returned back to him.

EFCC seized 48 choice property belonging to former Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Timipre Sylva, in January 2013 because he was being prosecuted at a Federal High Court in Abuja for alleged misappropriation of N6.46 billion state funds when he was governor of the state.

Pedestrians were in fear when a man taking his pet Tiger for a walk in the centre of a Russian city.

Other pictures show the huge animal having a rest and lying down on a zebra crossing. The tiger seemed to be calm, and no one was reported to have been hurt.

I'm Never In A Serious Relationship With Her - Ezekiel Elliott Told NFL About Acucser

Ezekiel Elliott told NFL investigators he was NEVER in a serious, exclusive relationship with the woman accusing him of domestic violence. She was just one of many chicks he was nailing.

Problem there is that, the NFL says his text messages tell a completely different story.

It's all spelled out in the NFL's 199 page investigative report on Zeke, dated June 6, 2017.

In the section titled, "Background of the Relationship" - the NFL says Tiffany Thompson described their relationship as "boyfriend/girlfriend."

But Elliott told investigators, "She was just one of the many girls he was having sex with."

Zeke explained, "they 'liked each other,' 'cared about each other,' but were never in a 'relationship,' she was never his 'girlfriend.'"

The NFL says that's a lie, things were so serious between the two, Elliott told Tiffany in text messages he loved her and wanted to marry her.

"In numerous text messages recovered, Mr. Elliott told Ms. Thompson he loved her and that he had had sex with other girls but she was the one he loved."

"In others, he talked about how he didn’t know why he fell in love with her, how he missed her after one day apart."

"In others, he referred to her as his 'girlfriend,' told her that he didn’t think he would ever find anyone better to have a 'relationship' with, and at one point after she had said they should break up because they were fighting so much, he said, 'Maybe we should take a break. I’m not ready to commit & don’t want to put you through this anymore.' 'I hope one day when you come back to me I’ll be your husband.”

There was also a discrepancy about when the two lived together. Thompson said she moved in with Zeke in Fall 2015 and stayed with him until Jan 2016.

Both Zeke and his father told police she never lived with him,  but Thompson was able to produce written documentation and a car insurance bill that proved she lived at his address.

The league says the inconsistency may have to do with everyone's definition of what "living together" means .

Bottom line; the NFL says it was able to determine that Zeke and Thompson were in an intimate relationship at the time of the alleged violence incident in July 2016, which would qualify the matter as "domestic violence."

Facebook Set To Bring In "Things In Common" Feature

Facebook is experimenting with a new feature called "Things in Common" that highlights details you have in common with your friends' friends.

It's not clear how long the company has been testing the feature or if it plans to make it more widely available, but it offers an intriguing look at how Facebook is looking to boost users' interactions with one another. 

The feature appears in a small box underneath a friend's friend list on desktop, along with a prompt to "see what you have in common with" that individual's friends.

After you click in, it opens a full-screen window where you can flip through that person's friend list. As you flip through, it shows some basic profile information and highlights details you may have in common.

Mutual friends, hometown, employers, and current city were a few of the "things in common" highlighted to me. It also surfaced pages we had both liked.

Here's what it looked like when I looked at my colleague Brett Williams' friend list.

It's not clear how Facebook ranks which friends you see first in this view. The first few profiles I saw were people with whom I had other mutual friends besides Brett, but who I don't actually know. Then, perhaps not surprisingly, I started to see Mashable colleagues, which makes sense because we have a high number of mutual friends and follow several of the same pages.

Interestingly, it also showed me the profiles of people who I am also connected with on Facebook, so it didn't discriminate whether or not we were already connected. It also highlighted mutual friends with whom I had very little in common with. I didn't try, but it seemed like I could flip through his entire 1,000+ friend list in this view, which doesn't seem particularly useful.

It also felt a little creepy to spend so much time lurking on the friends lists of my friends — isn't this part of why I deleted the Facebook app from my phone in the first place, I wondered.

"'Things In Common' is a section we're testing that contains information that you share in common with someone else, such as mutual friends, page likes, and others. These respect the privacy setting that the profile owner set when entering them," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.

It's no secret Facebook is always looking for new ways to get people to interact with each other, so it's not surprising they'd be exploring yet another avenue for connecting people who aren't yet friends. 

Mark Zuckerberg himself has made it clear this is an area he is intently focused on.

"I think there's something to this idea that your relationships shape your path more than we realize," he wrote earlier this year.

"We've built AI systems to recommend 'People You May Know.' But it might be just as important to also connect you with people you should know — mentors and people outside your circle who care about you and can provide a new source of support and inspiration."

Of course, identifying basic things you have in common with mutual friends is hardly the same as Facebook helping you find someone outside your circle who actually cares about you, but it could be one step toward helping people identify new people they might want to connect with.
