At the end what ur life amounts to depends on the sort of decisions u make, no research yet can predetermine the sort of decision u would make!

i rep 5ft8" i no try?

Am 6'2....Oya Ladies Holla...lol...Mum And Dad..Ii love You...yaga !!!!

Chomzy19: I agree with dia points xept d IQ part, frm my own observations frm primary to dis day as a graduate, short pple are always more intelligent than their taller counterparts, its lyk d more pple grow tall d more they leave their senses behind. All the genius in my school days were short... So in dis nigeria d reverse is d case

lmao,so hillarious

NL member:

What if the child takes after the short parent and ends up being short as well?
That one no be solution na.

like me....dad is tall, mom is short and surprisinly, bein d only son, i became short...buh dat doesnt stop me from bein successful.

#MA OPINION: the only advantage tall dudes av over deir short counterparts is first time impression...tall guys leave a better impression dan d short ones. other dan dis yur height plays very little role on wat yhu becom.......at d end, its d person in yhu dat determines how successful yu are not yur height. And also, tall gals are more likely to marry short guys and vice versa..

Your success in Life has nothing to do with your height, but it's a function of the Light of who you are. In the journey of your destiny, scientist, parent or friends votes does not count; but only your vote count. You may be short, keep voting for yourself; you may be average, keep voting for yourself until your vote count.

I Know who i am!

For a man? Yes.
The ideal height for a man is 6.3 and 5.6 for a woman

Just above short. Anything 5'6 and under is short.

Jamey Maxwell: Iz 5ft7 Short?

For me my 6.1 frame and cute face was more of a curse. I looked so much like my mum who was a mix of fulani and ibo. Most girls always gave me the cold look before I even approached them.

I became an introvert until I travelled out. To cut the boring tale short... I discovered how good looking I was as soon as I set foot outside the shores of nigeria. I must confess that nigerian girls can be damn witches a times. I'm back in the country with a stunning wife and now every girls wants a share.

When some situations come up, Short people will always tell me "yes, i wish i were a taller girl. But definitely not as tall as you" and it really weighs me down emotionally cos most times adults will also say "oboy you tall o...and you never stop sef.please dont grow again"

bluejeff: But how come short parents sometimes give birth to tall children ? I have this neighbour whom both the parents are short but the first 3 children are very tall. The last one though might be short.

Good question.

Height (tall and short) is a trait that is highly influenced by genes. In every generation, each child receives one form of the gene for a trait from one parent and the second from the other parent. Let's consider a pair of gloves. We will call each glove an allele (glove 1 is an allele, so is glove 2) and one allele is always dominant, while the other is recessive. Recessive means it can be hidden by the dominant allele. In other words, when the dominant allele is present, the recessive will be inactive because the dominant one will hide or override it. Think of each glove or allele as one half of the gene and the second glove/allele as the other. Together, they make a pair. Genes come in pairs (of alleles). You get one glove or allele from one parent and the other glove from the other. If both parents are short (let's say Qq & Qq, where q is the tall allele and Q is short allele, technically each child has a 1 in 4 chance of being tall/getting each of the tall allele from each parent). If they have another child, the probability of him/her being tall will still be the same, but the short, recessive allele might just surprise them and pop up again. Recessive does not mean weak, neither does it mean it gets lost, BUT it simply gets masked by the dominant allele and is still being carried through. I can do a punnett square for you to explain this further. Most of our physical traits and behavioural traits are influenced by multiple genes and sometimes even the environment. It’s important to look at the heights in the family history, for example the heights of each of their grandparents. It’s difficult to find a physical trait in a human that’s dictated by only a single gene and when we do find those traits it’s often because there’s a disease present. So going up the generation line will tell you a lot, as the genes you'll find are important, as well as the parents.

I may be short but my money tall like Dangote own. Lol

Who knows you? And why do you want to know me?

ebdib:

joel Omo: I may be short but my money tall like Dangote own. Lol

There's blackout in here, can't find most of my posts

Having strong character and a sense of humor.
...this is so right..reminds me of Peter Dinklage...

My dad is 5"3 and the wealthiest dude in his village his brother is 5"10 and his kids are in the 6"7 -6"8 range but my dad raised them. Never let your height discourage you from achieving anything in life. People always underestimated him cos he was short and he just worked harder and harder and now they all kneel and beg for money from him. The irony of life btw I got some good genes from my moms family 5"11 so yh I am just mouthing

pendusky: i rep 5ft8" i no try?

President Goodluck Jonathan is 5'8; so nothing do you; you just need to work more harder.

chai,I be 25 n my height na 5ft6''. well I bliv say I stll dey GROW...

Anytime I come across article as such, I begin dey wonder why I didn't feed on enough beans when I was younger......Damn!

Na to go marry deols to compensate for my elegant children!

Short people tend to have a complex . If you pick on them for something, they think you're doing it because of their height. And they try so hard to excel. They no dey gree @ all.
Well, height and IQ sounds flattery to me.

Confidence matters alot. If you are short be confident. If someone mocks you because of your height just laugh over it and be proud do not exchange words with the person. Stil mingle with the person one day he or she will see something unique in you that will make him/her fall in love with you and forget the height differnce. Nobody is common!

Talkyaown:
