Big Nyash (2025)

In contemporary West African pop culture, particularly in Nigeria, "Nyash" (alternatively spelled "Yansh") carries significant weight in social discourse. It is no longer just about anatomy; it has become a metric of modern desirability and societal pressure.

: The global trend of Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) and cosmetic surgery has hit the continent hard. Critics argue that women are "injecting hopes, dreams, and silicone" into their bodies to meet these standards, sometimes at great physical risk or while sacrificing their life savings. BIG NYASH

: The word "Nyash" itself has gained such prominence that it was reportedly added to the Oxford English Dictionary alongside other Nigerian terms like "mammy market" and "amala," signaling its move from street slang to recognized global vocabulary.

Successful men are increasingly seen marrying career-driven women—doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs—challenging the idea that physical curves are the ultimate "table" a woman brings to a relationship. Critics argue that women are "injecting hopes, dreams,

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) confirmed the names of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 as:

This followed a 5-month period of public review after which the names earlier proposed by the discoverers were approved by IUPAC.

On 1 May 2014 a paper published in Phys. Rev. Lett by J. Khuyagbaatar and others states the superheavy element with atomic number Z = 117 (ununseptium) was produced as an evaporation residue in the 48Ca and 249Bk fusion reaction at the gas-filled recoil separator TASCA at GSI Darmstadt, Germany. The radioactive decay of evaporation residues and their α-decay products was studied using a detection setup that allows measurement of decays of single atomic nuclei with very short half-lives. Two decay chains comprising seven α-decays and a spontaneous fission each were identified and assigned to the isotope 294Uus (element 117) and its decay products.
