Queens is one of the 5 boroughs that make up New York City. did you know it was named after Queen Catherine of Braganza, Queen of England and wife of King Charles II.

not long ago the govt wanted to erect a statue of Queen Catherine in the Borough but there was a protest by the local residents against such a move bc the Queen came from a slave owning family and most of the current residents of Queens today are blacks and minority.

Question: they say GEJ comes from Otuoke,
what does the word otuoke mean in igbo?

OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY and Hitler's NAZI Germany

today most of us enjoy watching the olympics, we also enjoy watching the olympic torch lit up in greece, then carried across various countries and finally ending up in the host city on opening ceremony to light up the games.

how many of you knew it was NAZI germany that started this tradition at the 1936 games in Berlin? ancient greek olympics used this torch but the NAZIS were the first to do it in modern times, they had runners carry the torch from greece all the way across various countries and finally to berlin.

what else did you enjoy from the terrible NAZI germany? I tell you two.
1. Fanta. . . . . . yessss, if you like fanta, did you know the NAZIS invented Fanta? after the west placed a trade embargo on Germany, and refused to bring them coca-cola which americans made, the head of coca-cola in germany decided to use his imagination to create something using local materials found in germany. . . when they made something they were looking for a name for it, he asked his workers to use their imaginations to figure out a name. imaginations. . . . in german language is fantasie. . . . hence the name Fanta came to be.

therefore if you drink fanta, you are indirectly sponsoring NAZI dictatorship in Germany and you are partly responsible for the death of 6 million jews grin

2. NAZIS also invented the Jerrycan. . . .

Question: name two inventions of NAZI Germany!

they also invented the. poison gas chambers and the word 'Holocaust' tongue
