News went viral last night that former president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had lost his son Ariwera. Thankfully, several aides of the former President have now confirmed that Ariwera is hale and hearty. They told SaharaReporters on Tuesday that his rumored death came as a surprise to them, as the boy is not even sick. Social media outlets were buzzing with the rumor all of Tuesday. One of the initial sources of the misinformation was PDP chieftain, and former lawmaker, Senator Hosea Agboola’s verified Twitter timeline where he condoled with the ex-president. As of this morning, the condolence tweet has been deleted.

Melbourne (AFP) - Fishermen off Australia who accidentally caught a whopping 6.3 metre basking shark have provided scientists with a rare opportunity to study the second-biggest fish on the planet. Little is known about the species -- smaller only than the whale shark -- because it does not need to surface for air to survive and so is not often spotted. The specimen has been donated to Museum Victoria, in the southern city of Melbourne, whose scientists will use its tissue samples, stomach contents and vertebrae to research its genetics, diet and life history. The head and fins will also be used to build a full-scale exhibition model of the animal, which is rated vulnerable to overfishing, the museum said in a statement. "These rare encounters can provide many of the missing pieces of knowledge that help broader conservation and biological research," said the museum's senior curator of ichthyology, Martin Gomon. Basking sharks are slow-moving plankton feeders whic...

Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State The Ogun Head of Service, Mrs Modupe Adekunle, on Tuesday, said that the state government was not owing its civil servants any salary arrears. Adekunle made this known in Abeokuta at a news briefing to commemorate the 2015 Public Service Day celebration. The Head of Service said that the governor had paid salaries of workers as and when due, while also putting in place machinery to ensure payment of the seven months cooperative deduction in the state. “Having considered the financial situation of the country in general, we had thought that we would not have any celebration, but thanks to the magnanimity of our worker-friendly Governor, Ibikunle Amosun,” she said. Adekunle urged civil servants to be proactive and prudent in their line of duty. She said the state had in the last three years continued to mark the civil service day with fanfare and commemorative events such as symposiums, health walks and games.

For the first time in months, there's some genuine confidence ahead of Wednesday's Eurogroup meeting. The eurozone's finance ministers have now had two days to assess the proposals for a bailout deal made by the Greek government, and there have been no major tantrums, so it seems like we may have the basis for a deal. On the sidelines of the meeting, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will meet Jean-Claude Juncker, Christine Lagarde and Mario Draghi, the heads of the European Commission, IMF and ECB, the organisations formerly known as the "Troika". Greece needs to unlock its €7.2 billion ($8.2 billion, £5.16 billion) bailout tranche to make debt repayments due this month and next, or it will default, which could bring down the country's banks shortly afterwards.  Not everyone is happy with the deal — according to Reuters, one Syriza politician called it a "tombstone." Another said the measures in the proposals would cause "social carnage...
