Nice. Left you a comment on your channel. Adding voice narration will allow you infuse a bit of your personality into your videos, and make them more vibrant. Good job!

Hiking especially in Abuja is no longer what it used to be. It is now a group of young boys and girls who go out to seek fun and make new relationships. They seldom follow guidelines for professional hiking rather, they concentrate on their body-hugging and revealing clothes. It has been mesmerized by a generation that knows nothing about the sport.

Oh Stephen, may your soul rest in peace. May you find rest in the bosom of Abraham, and God comforts your family.

Good to see you are still on nairaland.

I was top of my class all through primary school. Secondary school was a disaster. I practically tanked. Picked myself up in uni and graduated with the third highest cgpa in my set.

Career wise, I am not doing badly. I am comfortable, but it could be better, a whole lot better actually.

This woman is funny. You got a raw deal out of a relationship. Count your losses and move on. Even if the guy is a bum, he neither forced you to date him, nor stole from you. At first glance, I thought the man defrauded her of money. This is just spite and wickedness caused by the fact that she was spurned. She is really pained.

This is enlightening. Thanks.

Sluggers...

One of the first properly organized baseball teams, I heard.

They were.

cooljoe:
I believe they were called speakeasies

Really? Didn't know that. Thanks.

TruthSeeker1:
What class is your child and how effective do you think zoom classes have been in teaching him/her?

She is in JS 2. Quite frankly, it's not so bad. The only issue is that only about 50% of subjects are covered.

I know the USELESS and WICKED people ruling us in Nigeria are hungry for another lockdown since UK has announced another lockdown. They must copy every bad thing they hear from abroad. It's unfortunate to be a citizen of Nigeria.

Over 100k have tested positive for covid419 yet I don't know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that has contacted coronavirus. Is this not a pure scamdemic?

My immediate younger sister who is resident in Abuja just recovered from Corona. She was very symptomatic, and at a point we were worried. Two of her friends and their husbands have also had it and recovered. I believe they all gave it to each other by attending some kind of get together.

However, having said that, I still believe the figures are heavily inflated.

AsomArchitectNG:
Lol. Nigeria is a failed state.

Okay, why not do this? Every student should be assigned a zoom id on his or her portal. Telecos should cut down the cost of data for students. Engage students with online classes and Cbt exams should be done online too.

Most private schools are already holding zoom classes. My child's school is, but not all subjects are featured and the cost is exorbitant unfortunately.

Aye Aye

And finally we have the Aye ye. The Aye-Aye taps on wood to locate grubs by the sound of a hollow tree trunk, then gnaws the wood to make a hole from which then, using his elongated middle finger, he extracts out the grub and eats it. The other most known animal to forage this way is a woodpecker.

Scotoplanes live on deep ocean bottoms, specifically on the abyssal plain in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, typically at depths of over 1000 meters. They are deposit feeders, and obtain food by extracting organic particles from deep-sea mud. (Image credits: imgur | thedailygreen.com | realcoldfish)

Thorny Dragon
Coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns, this lizard has a “false” head, which he presents to his predators by dipping the real one. (Image credits: imgur | Christopher Watson)

Okapi
This one isn't so strange to Africans. It's found mostly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

dawnomike:
Nice compilation

Thanks.

The Shoebill
This large stork-like bird gets its name because of the shape of its beak. Even though it was already known to ancient Egyptians and Arabs, the bird was only classified in 19th century. (Image credits: David Li | shoebill.info)

Giant Isopods
This one is the largest of the existing isopods. “The enormous size of the giant isopod is a result of a phenomenon known as deep sea gigantism. This is the tendency of deep sea crustaceans and other animals to grow to a much larger size than similar species in shallower waters.” (Image credits: Littoraria)

Venezuelan Poodle Moth
Also known as the blue dragon, this creature is a is a species of blue sea slug. You could find it in warm waters of the oceans, as it floats on the surface because of a gas-filled sac in its stomach

Found in Madagascar, Africa, this small tenrec is the only mammal known to use stridulation for generating sound – something that’s usually associated with snakes and insects.

Pe.nis fish
This, uhm… peculiar eyeless animal is actually called Atretochoana eiselti. It is a large, presumably aquatic, caecilian amphibian with a broad, flat head and a fleshy dorsal fin on the body

This rare shark is sometimes even called a “living fossil”, “is the only extant representative of the family Mitsukurinidae, a lineage some 125 million years old.” Goblin sharks inhabit around the world at depths greater than 100 m (330 ft), with adults found deeper than juveniles. Given the depths at which it lives, the goblin shark poses no danger to humans.

Our world is beautiful, scary and sometimes weird. Here are some of the weirdest animals round the globe. Enjoy.

Red-lipped Batfish


Found on the Galapagos Islands, this fish is actually a pretty bad swimmer, and uses its pectoral fins to walk on the bottom of the ocean.

Hitch A Hippo
It truly is incredible to see which animals humans have domesticated over the years. Oxen, horses, dogs and cats all seem to make sense, but hippopotamuses seem a little unnecessary, don’t you think?

The First Team Picture Ever

A long time ago pictures couldn’t be snapped on a whim. They were planned and considered, and only if they were important would someone grab the camera. This must have been a really important team, because this is the first team photograph ever taken in history. The Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of new Jersey posed proudly for this photograph in 1858.

Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery? Michael Jackson? Nah, you can think even further back than that. Think Walter Yeo – this guy. Around 1917 was when the procedure called the ‘skin flap’ was created to treat hideous battle wounds. It’s quite difficult to tell which image came first.

Beer Waterfall
During Prohibition getting a drink might have been as easy as standing next to a brewery with a bucket. Not really though. This photograph shows what happened when police found and bust a bootlegging brewery in Detroit.

Tattoo Chin
A young girl by the name of Olive Ann Oatman was kidnapped along with her sister, by a native American tribe when she was just 14 years old. She was adopted by a Mohave chief and grew up with the tribe. Part of her upbringing included getting a tattoo on her chin. Years later after word about a white girl living with the tribe spread, she was redeemed through an exchange of blankets and horses.

Apestronaut
Apestronaut or astrochimp? Well, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that Ham The Chimp was the first humanoid ever to be sent successfully into space. It’s because of him that man has been able to advance in space.

Flying Babies
‘Operation Babylift’ took place on April 12th, 1975 from Vietnam. Following the Vietnam War, many Vietnamese babies became orphans and that’s where the U.S. government stepped in and took action. They flew the babies back to America, and then citizens of U.S.A., Australia, Canada and France adopted them.

more like; the brighter the love, the quicker it fades

Something like that.

Midas01:
In all that you mentioned you omitted the most. Important thing...Love.

You're 100% right but a marriage without love is no marriage at all.

Incidentally, you see that thing we call romantic love? That "butterflies in the stomach, crazy about you" love? That is the one that unfortunately leads to divorce. It usually comes with crazy and extreme emotions that usually cause problems. Another kind of love - the kind our elderly ones have, is not as sensational as passionte love, but is calmer and more accepting. That's why we see them staying married for 30, 40, 50 years and even longer.
