   If you’re a cat, you purr. If you’re a dog, you wag your tail. And if you’re a rabbit, you bust out your best binky moves. You read that right — binky. When rabbits are happy, they do this crazy kind of move called a binky. Each bunny has its own binky style, but […]

 A week ago, President Muhammadu Buhari travelled out of the country on a two-week medical vacation. He is expected back in the country next week.
