Flood at Volo Museum’s Titanic Exhibit Sparks Paranormal Theories
Last month, the Volo Museum in suburban Chicago experienced a mysterious flood during its $6 million Titanic exhibit, leading to speculation about paranormal activity. This was the first flood in the building in four decades, and investigators noted the deluge resembled scenes from the 1997 movie Titanic and the actual sinking of the ship. Despite thorough inspections, no cause for the flood was found, adding to the museum’s history of “unusual and unexplainable occurrences,” according to museum director Brian Grams.
The Volo Museum, which houses rare artifacts including a 1912 Renault French concept car, one of only two ever produced, has long intrigued paranormal investigators. Known for its reputation for paranormal activity, the museum was featured on Discovery’s Ghost Lab in 2009 and had its own History series, Volo, House of Cars. The museum remains open to the public, continuing to draw interest with its enigmatic Titanic exhibit.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to rumours claiming it has approved Adire as the new fabric for the NYSC uniform.
It can be recalled that the Federal Government recently announced plans to review the NYSC uniform, which sparked speculation online that Adire had already been selected as its replacement.
However, the government has clarified that no final decision has been made regarding the new uniform.
“I mentioned Adire during the discussion. I also mentioned Ankara. My intention was simply to cite examples of some of the proposals that have been put forward in the course of our consultations. It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.”
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
