Traveling certainly comes with plenty of perks. Sure, you get to see the world, visit family and friends in far-flung places, and experience new things. But, there’s one thing that can put a damper on all that good. And that is the downright terrible experience of  traveling in the middle seat . OK, so flying in the middle seat is just about at the bottom of the world’s problems right now, but it still matters to some, and  Embraer is catering  to those people who simply abhor the middle with its new E190-E2 jets that come with zero middle seats. Ever. The aircraft manufacturer has been taking its new 2-2 configured plane on a world tour in recent months. And it’s certainly a noticeable plane as it comes decked out with some seriously out of this world great white shark livery

TREKKING Trekking   Trekking  is a long journey be undertaken on foot in areas where there are usually no means of transport available. Trekking is not necessarily mountaineering; it is walking for a number of days, usually on uncharted paths, in challenging environments which are likely to be hilly or mountainous Equipments Depending on the weather and if the hike is for a day, a few hours or overnight, the equipment one carries varies.  For a simple hike, good hiking shoes (preferably water proof), weather-appropriate clothing (hat, sunscreen, waterproof jacket), a trail map, compass, sunscreen,  water , food and basic  medical  kit can be carried.  The  weight  and bulk limit the amount of equipment that one can carry. The  Leave No Trace  policy also requires that equipment have multiple or alternative uses.  Apart from what one would take on a day hike, overnight hikes and treks require a backpack, tent and sleeping bag for camping, fire lighting tools either flint or mat

Imperativeness of Renewable natural resources on Nigeria Economy  Renewable natural resources refer to biological assets capable of indefinite regeneration on a human time scale so long as the prevailing environmental, social, political, economic and management conditions permit. Examples of such natural resources are arable land, forest, water resources (including aquatic life), rangeland/pastures, biodiversity, wetlands and wildlife. Depending on management and use, these resources can be replenished, maintained, improved or degraded. Therefore, the renewability of renewable natural resources is not automatic and cannot be taken for granted. Over two decades, Nigeria's economic performance has fallen acutely short of growth potentials. Rapid growth in the late 1970s occasioned by oil boom was short-lived and followed by a sharp decline in real per capita GDP from the late 1970s-1984(CBN). From 1992-2002, growth in per capita GDP occurred marginally in 2 years only, stagna

Nigeria’s rapid population Growth: Implications for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Total individual of the same organism in a particular geographical location is said to be population of that place. Nigeria with more than 160 million persons within 923,768km2 established in 2006 population census, with her huge population yet the country is enriched with variety of life forms and natural pattern at genetic, species and ecosystem level. This biodiversity and ecosystem services are influenced directly and indirectly by her population growth. Environment is an aggregate of all external condition and influences that affect life, development of organism and all other things in the habitat. A continuum system in which living organism interact with physical and non-physical component of the habitat in which it exists. Ecosystem provides services that vary in how human benefits from them as a result of his influence in the functioning natural environment. The prevention of erosion, land
