1. AFRICAN QUEEN - 2BABA IDIBIA
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DUQp6LeVqmE/maxresdefault.jpg
Tu face's African Queen made history as one of the most successful hits in recent years. Apart from making Face 2 Face, the album in which it appears, sell widely, it also won a number of awards that shot its sleek-faced singer, Innocent Idibia, into further limelight. About four years after the Pan Africanist, pro-womanhood and highly exciting song hit the market
In 2006, his song "African Queen" was used in the soundtrack for the film Phat Girlz, which was released internationally.
“African Queen,” from his 2004 album 'Face 2 Face' which has reportedly sold over 2 million copies, 2Face says the success of his single has come as a great surprise to him.
His single 'African Queen' has been made popular by its catchy lyrics and memorable rhythm and melody, which has made the single reach the top of the African pop charts – helped considerably by heavy airplay on MTV Base and MTV Africa.
Not only has this young and successful singer won an MTV- 'African Artist of The Year' award at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, he has also been busy touring around the globe promoting his single release and made his first visit to the UK and later to Brooklyn -New York back in March 2005.

African women are very warm and they know how to take care of their family”

......

The back-to-back victory by the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria in the FIFA U-17 World Cup is an indication that the country has a large pool of talents within that age grade. Here are top 10 most promising Nigerian young footballers now giving a good account of themselves in various leagues across Europe.


1. Kelechi Iheanacho
https://thewillnigeria.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/03_19171125_6de79f_2699672a.jpg
Playing alongside such star players as Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, Davis Silva and others in the Manchester City team speaks volume of Iheanacho’s talent.
With the few playing time he is getting at the club, the player adjudged as the Most Valuable Player at the Under-17 Youth Championship held at the United Arab Emirate in 2013 has scored five goals with breathtaking assists that have seen Man City fans singing praises of the young Nigerian. He is always comfortable with the ball anywhere behind the main striker, on the flanks or even when he leads himself. Kelechi is no doubt one of the gifted talents to have ever come out of the Nigerian shore in recent time.


2. Sadiq Umar
https://tmssl.akamaized.net//images/portrait/originals/337715-1455553395.jpg
He announced himself to the big stage when he scored a beautiful goal in the Serie A for AS Roma. Reading William Vainqueur’s cross to perfection, the young Nigerian took out five defenders to plant home an emphatic header past Mattia Perin in goal for Genoa.
The 20-year-old Umar got his first team game time for a top club like AS Roma and even scored two goals in his three appearances. He is proving his goal scoring exploits at SC Spezia (where he scored a record breaking 26 goals in 27 games in the Italian youth league), which made Roma came for him, are no fluke. A tall and lanky forward, Umar has been likened to the legendary Nwankwo Kanu.

3. Isaac Success
[img] http://tmssl.akamaized.net//images/portrait/originals/295331-1447231338.jpg[/img]
Playing regular top-flight football for Granada and featuring week in week out for a 1st division team in Spain against super stars like Ronaldo and Messi and some of the best defenders in the world is indeed a remarkable achievement for the young Nigerian.
Isaac has scored three goals and is the livewire of Granada FC. He is comfortable playing as the main striker but is also effective playing wide a little. A strong, skillful and speedy striker likened to a young Samuel Eto’o. Isaac is a gem in the making and it is only a matter of time before he rises above struggling Granada FC of Spain.


4. Alex Iwobi
https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2016/01/28/07/AlexIwobi2801.jpg
He plays with a top English Premier League team like Arsenal filled with world-class players. For the 21-year-old Nigerian international to be considered for a place on the bench in the Gunners conveys his quality.
Iwobi has made the Arsenal team roster eight times this season and started against Sunderland in the FA Cup where he received a standing ovation from the Highbury faithful.
He made an even bigger impression in the game against Stoke, where he came on for Theo Walcott in the last 20 minutes. Highly rated by Wenger, the Frenchman has refused to loan him out. Iwobi has the ability to play from a variety of wide positions as well as in the middle behind a striker and is capable of reading the game better. Iwobi is the nephew of the great Jay Jay Okocha.


5. Moses Simon
https://punchng.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/21234952/Moses-Simon.jpg
He is an electrifying winger with smooth ball control, immense pace and exquisite dribbling skills. He almost signed for Ajax Amsterdam in 2013 scoring for them in pre-season games before eventually signing for AS Trencin in 2014 where he was snapped up by Belgian Elite division club, Gent.
In only his first season for Gent, Simon scored seven goals and had numerous assists on their way to finishing second, which qualified them for the Champions League. At 20, the potential is frightening, as some EPL’s top clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham, are said to be showing interest.


6. Wilifred Ndidi
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Ndidi_20170114.jpg/200px-Ndidi_20170114.jpg
The 20-year-old was one of the first players among the 2015 U-20 class to sign for a club abroad, when he was snapped up by Racing Genk.
He wasted little time before he broke into the first team and has 18 appearances for the modest Belgian club, posting a great performance despite being moved from his traditional centre back to defensive midfield.
Ndidi recently scored his first professional goal for Genk from his defensive midfield position against Zulte-Waregem. He was one of the few players who stood out for the Nigerian U-20 during a dismal outing at the World Cup in New Zealand. A budding talent, Ndidi, is comfortable as a centre back, anywhere along the back four or even as a defensive midfielder.

7. Taiwo Awoniyi[/b]
https://tmssl.akamaized.net//images/portrait/originals/295313-1443768286.jpg
Injury to Isaac Success at the 2013 U-17 World Cup at UAE gave Awoniyi an opportunity to prove his worth. He took it with both hands scoring four goals as Nigeria went on to win the cup.
Awoniyi has not looked back since becoming the top striker for the U-20 team scoring breathtaking goals in the African U-20 tournament in Senegal and even going on to replicate his goal scoring exploits for the U-23s.
A tall gangling striker in the likes of late Rashidi Yekini, Awoniyi is blessed with an eye for goal, good sense of positioning and exceptional hold up play. He eventually got his reward after being snapped up by Liverpool of England from where he has been loaned to Frankfurt of Germany to gain experience. It’s only a matter of time before his talent returns him to the English top flight football.
[b]
8. Kelechi Nwakali
https://img.fifa.com/mm/photo/tournament/competition/02/72/36/36/2723636_large.jpg
The word wonder kid has been thrown around loosely most times. The MVP and Golden Ball winner at Chile 2015 U-17 World Cup, Nwakali was without any doubt the engine room and the driving force behind the victorious Golden Eaglets.
A brutal enforcer and instigator of attacks with silky and sublime ball touches, Nwakali shone like a million star in Chile with three goals and three assists. He has been likened to Arsenal’s great, Patrick Viera and four times African footballer of the year award winner, Yaya Toure. He is close to joining Arsenal.


9. Victor Osimhen
https://d19lga30codh7.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Victor-Osimhen.jpg
He announced himself to the world in a fantastic way after breaking all previous goal scoring records and emerging the highest goal scorer ever in the history of the U-17 World Cup championship with 11 goals in Chile. More importantly was the manner Osimhen took his goals at the tournament.
He is being touted to take after the goal father, Rashidi Yekini, due to his playing style. Osimhen topped his achievement by mixing up with the big boys and giving a good account of himself in the national U-23 Olympic team. He seems set to sign a contract with Wolfsburg in Germany.

10. Ifeanyi Matthews
https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/ac/ba/ifeanyi-mathew-of-nigeria_1ozy4phadrv3a1bonn3j6v4khd.jpg?t=1803364752&w=620&h=430
Another star player of the 2013 U-17 Golden Eaglets squad. While Iheancho, Success and Awoniyi hogged the headlines, Matthews, alongside Abiodun Idowu were the unheralded stars doing their jobs quietly but effectively in the middle.
Matthews shone at the African U-20 tourney in Senegal scoring two breathtaking goals as well as setting up three assists.
His form dropped a little due to a foot injury at the World Cup and he did not make the cut for Siasia’s team, but he is back holding his own with the home-based Eagles. At the CHAN in Rwanda, he emerged as one of the stars. Matthews is a versatile player, combining well as attacking or defensive midfielder.

Nigeria has the highest number of private jet owners in Africa with Dangote and Oyedepo owning the highest number (four each).

Out of the 177 Private Jet owners in Nigeria, four of them are owned by women.
These are the four women who own private jets in Nigeria:

1. Mrs Folorunsho Alakija
https://kokofeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jet3.jpg
One of Nigeria’s first female billionaire is the founder of Famfa Oil, a Nigerian company that owns a substantial participating interest in OML 127, a lucrative oil block on the Agbami deep water oilfield in Nigeria with its partners including Chevron and Petrobas.
She is estimated to be worth at least $1.6 billion.Her first company was a fashion label that catered to Nigeria’s elite women, including the wife of former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, who awarded Alakija’s company an oil prospecting license. She is said to own at least $100 million in real estate and a Bombardier Global Express jet worth N7.3b.

2. Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke
https://kokofeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/jet4.jpg
She has held three significant positions in the Nigerian federal government. She was appointed Transport Minister in July 2007.

Although practicing a presidential system of government, the important roles played by the monarchs to the development of their societies and Nigeria as a whole cannot be overlooked.
We take a look at 10 most powerful Nigerian monarchs that are currently on a throne.

10. Olubadan of Ibadan

The title Olubadan means “Lord of Ibadan” and it is the royal title of the king of Ibadan land. It usually takes decades to groom an Olubadan for the mantle through stages of chieftaincy promotion, thus meaning that just about any male born title-holder of the metropolitan center is a potential king. Olubadans are usually appointed from the two ruling lines to the throne, Egbe Agba (civil) and Balogun (military) on rotational basis following the death of a monarch.
The 11 high chiefs that formed the Olubadan-in-council, apart from the Seriki and Iyalode, are recognised as the traditional head of each of the 11 LGs in Ibadanland. They are appointed as presidents of customary courts, who are expected to adjudicate on matrimonial, land, boundary and other communal disputes.
Oba Samuel Odulana, Odugade is the current Olubadan and although the position like many other monarchical positions is now largely symbolic, the Olubadan remains a prominent figure and has influence on matters of local politics as well as question political leaders on issues such as violence, corruption and lack of true democracy in the region.

Even though this year has been full of controversies about the influence he wields in his party he's managed to show he is still in the game and still keeping the APC party together


3. Aliko Dangote

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-imo7IW-DkCI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/4TAfFdCEbYs/s0-c-k-no-ns/photo.jpg
Dangote known by many is a Nigerian billionaire' who owns the Dangote Group, which has interests in commodities, known to be Nigeria and Africa's richest personality.
Dangote's involvement into Nigerian politics won't be left unnoticed, we notice Aliko has been some someway connected to many Nigerian presidents both present and past which shows he does romance with the Nigerian Government with his money and status.
Dangote's products are so many in the Nigeria markets today most especially the Dangote cement, he could do a lot of damage or favour to Nigerians if he increase or decrease the price of cement.
Dangote's influence in the country is a sure a great one.


2. Senator Bukola Saraki

Ranked in this same position in the last 2years, Bukola Saraki as most of us know is the present senate president of Nigeria, the senator who got elected into power 2years ago is the second most powerful person in Nigeria for this year.
As The senate president he has power over a lot things most especially when it comes to making the law. The senate president is the no.3rd citizen of the country which means in any case the president and the vice president is missing he would be the acting president of the country.
Saraki's influence in the political world sure can't be left unnoticed as he has a lot of senate members backing him in the house and influential political personalities behind him. We can conclude Saraki is someway somehow close to the president.
With the influence he's made this year from passing good bills to pushing the made in Nigeria movement and more we've ranked him as the second most powerful person in Nigeria 2017.

1. V.P Yemi Osinbajo

https://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2014/12/IMG_2813-001.jpg

Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo is the Vice President of Nigeria, in office since May 29, 2015. He is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Professor of Law and until his inauguration as Vice President.
We all know the Vice President is the next in post to the president which makes him a pretty high profile and powerful personality too.
He was ranked by TIN Magazine as the 4th mosth powerful in the country in year 2015, it looks like the vice president has done nothing since then than show the influence he has in the country.
He is currently the acting president of the republic in the absence of the president.
Just like the president himself, Osinbajo as the acting president of Nigeria has the power to do many special things like grant immunity to a convict and more.
Lets not forget the VP has actually presided over Nigeria than the president himself this year.
Following our researches nobody control's Mr Acting President. He sure has been the most powerful man in the country this year.
Therefore Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is the most powerful person in Nigeria 2017.

High cost of litigation has caused a lot of Nigerian citizens to overlook incessant breaches of their fundamental human right. It is against this background that we have decided to put up this article as a guide to enforcement of fundamental human right without engaging the services of a lawyer if you cannot afford one.
If any of your fundamental human right, guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (see sections 33 – 46) has been, is been, or is likely to be infringed, you can, without the help of a lawyer, apply to the court (State High Court of Federal High Court) in the state where the infringement occurred, or is likely to occur, for redress by taking the following steps.

STEP 1, Prepare a written application.
The application should be type- written (preferably in an A-4 size document). This application shall include a statement setting out your name and description, the relief sought (ie exactly what you want the court to do for you. You can buy a copy of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009. This document contains all the rules guiding the enforcement of fundamental right. You can see the example of the application at the back of this document. It is called "Form 1".

STEP 2, Prepare an affidavit.
Prepare an affidavit. An affidavit is a statement of facts made under oath. Here you are only expected to tell the story of what actually happened, and take it to the commissioner of oath in the high court. However before taking it for swearing at the court, you have to attach it to the application you made in step one above. If you cannot make the affidavit, probably because you are in detention, you can give the information about what happened to any other person, who shall make the affidavit on your behalf, though he must state in the affidavit that you are the person who gave him the information, and also state where and when you gave him the information.
STEP 3, Prepare a written address.
Ordinarily, whenever you approach the court, you are expected to talk to the judge, telling him why you have approached him and what you expect from him. This is exactly what you are expected to do under this step. But this time around, instead of talking to the judge with ordinary word of mouth, you reduce every thing you will tell him in writing. This write-up is what is called written address.
In your written address you have to refer the court to those sections of the constitution (sections 33-46) that were contravened by the person(s) that breached your human rights and then urge him to either restrain the person or award damages against the person for the breach that have occurred already.

STEP 4, File the documents in court.

Having prepared all the documents, the next thing is to convert them into “court processes” by taking them to the court for filling. When you get to the court, proceed straight to the court’s registry. There, the documents would be accessed for filling fee. After the assessment, you pay the filling fee and ask for date for the hearing of the application. Also find out the court where the case is assigned to. Ordinarily, the application is supposed to be fixed for hearing within seven days from the day it was filed.

STEP 5, Engage the court bailiff to serve the respondent(s).
Since the case is between you and the respondent(s) i.e. the person(s) that breached your right, it is important that they know that there is a case pending against the. This been the case, it is the duty of the courts belief to serve the court's processes. Accordingly, you have to notify a court belief that you have filed a case against someone. You then take the bailiff, acting as the pointer to the people you sued by identifying the for the bailiff to serve them with the court's process.

Finally, on the day the case is fixed for hearing, attend the proceedings. Usually, the time for court’s sittings in Nigeria is 9:00 am. Make sure you are in the court before the time. Having ascertain the particular court hall where your case is fixed for hearing at the court’s registry on the day you filed the case, you have to now move strait to that particular court. When you get there, meet the court’s clerks, and ask them the number of your case in the course list. A course list is a list containing the cases fixed for hearing in a particular court for the day. Having ascertained that, go and sit down where non lawyers sit. Listen attentively to hear when your case is called-up.

When the case is called answer “sir”. If the judge asks for your lawyer, tell him that you don’t have one and the case will proceed.

Today's ladies are so desirous of having big buttocks. Many reasons have been adduced for this rampant desire. Some need big buttocks just to look good. Others believe that it will spice up romance in their relationship. Many have gotten butts enlargement injection, while others go for implants. Some died while trying to enlarge their buttocks; others endanger their health in the process. In all these efforts, it is generally agreed that big buttocks are best when they are natural. Consequently, a lot of people search for information on the natural ways to make their buttocks bigger.

Sandra Aguebor is the CEO and Founder of the Lady Mechanic initiative and Sandex Car care. It is true that in Nigeria women are gradually getting into corporate positions that men usually dominate in the past. However it is uncommon to see women who are professional car mechanics.
[img]http://4.bp..com/-Egsk5otpNxY/WPaUtjvRHGI/AAAAAAAADoI/lRFm1VYZJdwFyQR2faLVIjQnGxJ4IwsZgCK4B/s640/Sandra-Aguebor.jpg[/img]

In Universities today, women like Sandra have dared to study male-dominated and practical courses.
Sandra Aguebor discovered her calling in her teenage years. She attributes her engineering talent to a divine encounter she had at 13.

“It all started through dreams, at the age of 13. I saw Jesus Christ teaching me how to fix cars in a series of dreams that lasted seven nights.”

Sandra Aguebor
Nigeria’s first lady mechanic had to face a host of challenges and setbacks from her male counterparts, family and the society at large. Somhow she channeled the obstacles as a source of motivation and positive energy.
Certain that this was what she wanted to do, Sandra gave engineering her best. She started working at a local garage during her secondary school days.
https://answersafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sandra-Aguebor1.jpg
“I would get to school at 8 am and leave at 2 am. My overall was already in my school bag. From school, I would dash to the garage and work till 6 or 7 pm.”

In time she started working with the Nigerian Railway Corporation.
After 10 years, she became her own boss and established her own car garage which is still operational till date.
Sandra has been in the car repair business for 32 who years now.
Sandra Aguebor
Making a success out of her career, many could clearly see the lady was right when she chose the profession that most women would never even give a thought.

“For me to become the first female Nigerian mechanic, I had to work five times harder than men to prove myself. Now, many people don’t know my name, it’s ‘Lady Mechanic’ everywhere I go.”

Sandra showed her philanthropic side by reaching out to women in need. She assembled them all and enrolled them in her teaching classes.
https://answersafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Sandra-Aguebor3.png
In 2004, Sandra founded the Lady Mechanic Initiative. The organization specifically grooms women in the business of fixing cars. Thus, helps them to be employed and financially independent.
Another interesting detail of the trainees is that the some of them equally found the initiative to be a sort of therapy. Some of these women used to be commercial sex workers, victims of sex trafficking, school drop outs and financially incapacitated mothers/wives.
Sandra Aguebor
Records show that since 2004, Sandra has empowered and trained over 1 000 women in fixing cars under the Lady Mechanic Initiative programme across 5 Nigerian states.

“Our clients keep coming back – they prefer us because we are determined to be better than a lot of mechanics who take their job and their salary for granted,”

Sandra Aguebor has a vision that by the year 2025, she must have trained up to 100 000 ladies who would serve as pillars and pathfinders across several African communities.

I once av the ability of controlling my dreams, though that was when I was still die hard religionist, they told me that in dreams I can only win evil spirits with jesus alone, it worked
But
When I started see clearly the lies religion produced in order to control humans, I started practicing beyond what I was told, I discovered that in dreams I can produce anything, I can control demons/evil spirits without Jesus, dreams are just serious choices u made b4 going to bed, it requires focus and determination, was cool though, after I turned atheist I hardly dream even when I do, it would be just a normal daily activities that I will dream of.

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which an individual, either during falling asleep or awakening, briefly experiences an inability to move, speak, or react. It is sometimes accompanied by frightening hallucinations to which one is unable to react due to paralysis and perceived physical experiences, such as a strong current running through the upper body. Sleep paralysis poses no immediate risk to those who experience it, and it lasts from several seconds to several minutes.


Have you been experiencing all these Well, here's 11 facts we got for you that will keep your head straight!
1. It feels kind of like you woke up dead.
'Most patients say the same thing to describe sleep paralysis: that it feels like you woke up dead. You know that your mind is awake and your body is not — so you're trapped, essentially,' Michael Breus, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, tells BuzzFeed Life.
"Most patients say the same thing to describe sleep paralysis: that it feels like you woke up dead. You know that your mind is awake and your body is not — so you're trapped, essentially," Michael Breus, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, tells BuzzFeed Life.

2. And it's way more complicated than a nightmare.
'It is the complete opposite, actually,' Breus explains. When you enter deep REM sleep, your brain tells the body's voluntary muscles to relax and go into almost a state of paralysis, which is called atonia. Atonia actually helps protect the body from injury by preventing you from acting out the physical movements in your dreams. In other parasomnias, such as sleepwalking or REM sleep behavior disorder, atonia does not occur properly and the voluntary muscles move while the mind remains asleep, which is why people can sometimes do crazy things in their sleep and be totally unaware of it. In sleep paralysis, the body remains paralyzed in REM atonia while the brain awakens and the eyes start to open, explains Breus. Sufferers become alert in a transient conscious state, but they are unable to move voluntary muscles or speak. Although involuntary muscle movement, like breathing, is not affected, there is often a sensation of chest pressure, which is why many people wake up from sleep paralysis gasping to take a deep breath. Episodes can last anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes."It is the complete opposite, actually," Breus explains.

Episodes can last anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes.

3. It happens when you're falling asleep or waking up.
Sleep paralysis can occur during one of two transitions in the sleep cycle. The body must go into REM sleep, and it must come out of it, but sleep paralysis occurs when the body has trouble making these transitions. If it happens when you're falling asleep, it's called hypnagogic sleep paralysis, whereas if it happens during waking it's called hypnopompic, Breus explains. Unfortunately, why the body can't transition smoothly is still unknown.

Unfortunately, why the body can't transition smoothly is still unknown.

4. Sleep paralysis can involve hallucinations.
Unlike the visuals in nightmares or lucid dreams, which occur when the eyes are closed in REM sleep, these hallucinations occur in the state between sleeping and waking when the mind is alert and the eyes are open. True visual and auditory hallucinations during sleep paralysis are relatively rare, according to Breus, but many patients report feeling an undeniably strange or scary presence in the room. Plus, sleep paralysis is just super frightening to begin with, so it often triggers a panicked response with increased heart rate. 'People freak out because they can't move, and it's this extreme anxiety which causes people to be very fearful of their surroundings,' says Breus.

5. You can't just wake yourself up.
Some patients report that they can wiggle their toes, fingers, or facial muscles, which helps them wake up the rest of their body. 'Everybody tries something different, but you can’t fool mother nature — there's no way to pull yourself out of it. You just have to wait it out,' says Breus.

6. Sleep paralysis is actually a natural occurrence and can happen to anyone.
Every time you go to sleep, there is some risk of waking up in sleep paralysis, says Breus. But severity and degree of consciousness vary greatly — most people have at least one episode at some point in life but aren't even aware of it. When it does happen, it's highly individual and rarely the same experience for everyone.Every time you go to sleep, there is some risk of waking up in sleep paralysis, says Breus.

...But it's most common among young adults and people with a history of mental illness.
A Penn State study found the highest prevalence rates were in students and psychiatric patients.

7. It's probably related to being sleep deprived.
According to Breus, research has consistently shown that the less sleep you get and the more exhausted you are, the more likely you are to experience sleep paralysis and other sleep disorders.
According to Breus, research has consistently shown that the less sleep you get and the more exhausted you are, the more likely you are to experience sleep paralysis and other sleep disorders.

8. So avoiding sleep paralysis might be as simple as getting better and longer sleep.
'Sleep deprivation can either be measured in quantity or quality,' says Breus. 'For example, if you have sleep apnea and you wake yourself up because you stop breathing throughout the night, the quantity of your sleep is bad. If you consume large amounts of alcohol, it prevents you from entering deeper stages of sleep which decreases the quality.' So if sleep paralysis is something you deal with, make sure you're getting enough sleep and you're not doing things that compromise the quality of your sleep (like drinking a lot or eating right before bed). Breus also suggests noting any abnormal sleep behaviors (that you or your partner may notice), like irregular breathing while sleeping or waking up gasping for air, which could actually be an undiagnosed sleep disorder."Sleep deprivation can either be measured in quantity or quality," says Breus.

9. But really, there is no definitive cause.
Stress, depression, certain prescription medications, and, more recently, an inherited gene have all been linked to sleep paralysis, Breus tells us. But while research shows associations, there is no clear cause of sleep paralysis, which is obviously super frustrating for anyone going through this. We do know that sleep paralysis can either occur on its own as an isolated incident, or it can be a symptom of other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy. And there's no explanation for why it might happen every other day or just every once in a while.

10. Seriously, people have been trying to explain this weird phenomenon for centuries.
Accounts of sleep paralysis can be found in Persian medical texts dating back to the 10th century. The first clinical observation was made by a Dutch physician in 1664 who diagnosed a 50-year-old woman with 'Night-Mare.' It was believed to be caused by demons or spiritual possession until the 19th century, when it was termed 'sleep palsy' and eventually 'sleep paralysis' in medical texts.

11. And it probably explains whatever is going on in this very famous Renaissance painting.
Swiss painter Henry Fuseli's painting is said to be inspired by supernatural dream experiences and the growing interest in sleep paralysis among doctors at the time. This creepy little gremlin could also represent the sensation of chest pressure...or it could be argued that he's just trying to get it in with this sleeping damsel.Swiss painter Henry Fuseli's painting is said to be inspired by supernatural dream experiences and the growing interest in sleep paralysis among doctors at the time.

12. People have blamed sleep paralysis on everything from witches and UFOs to giant ghost dogs.
And there are various folk legends all over the world that attempt to explain the existence of it in different cultures.

13. However, there's really no evidence that it'll kill you.
'Research has shown that sleep paralysis is not dangerous,' says Breus. 'It does not cause physical harm to the body and there are no clinical deaths known to date.' While there are some terrifying cultural explanations around the world, these are constructed to make sense of a very mysterious condition. 'The biggest thing is to educate people to not be afraid,' says Breus. 'In all likelihood, they just need more rest. If they get enough sleep and the episodes continue with any regularity, then they should go to a sleep disorder specialist.'"Research has shown that sleep paralysis is not dangerous," says Breus.

...But just try telling that to someone who has sleep paralysis.
Anyone who has ever experienced this can tell you that it is effing terrifying and feels almost paranormal, rather than a typical sleep disorder. Sufferers share their frightening experiences in countless YouTube videos, Reddit threads, and sleep paralysis websites.

Ever had a throwback at some of the hilarious and freaky myths or tales you were told as a kid? These myths and legends we were told had serious damaging effects and consequences if not adhered to.
They trail back to many generations before us and may still probably be passed down to future generations. Check out these 8 hilarious myths below and reminisce on your good old fun days as a child…

Madam Koi Koi (The Woman In Red)
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Madam-koi-koi.jpg
Madam koi koi is one of the most popular stories told to all boarding school students.
One version of the madam koi koi story says a long time ago, there was a wicked teacher who loved the colour red and often wears it from head to toe. The woman also had a son.
Now one day, the children who she taught had enough of her, carrying her son, they beat him to the point of death, in the rush and struggle to save her son, she lost one leg of her shoes. Angry with what had happened, she vowed to take revenge on those who killed her son.
To this day she walks the earth, looking for her son and lost shoe. She can enter rooms in the night, and if you ever hear her telltale sound, koi koi koi, you immediately close your eyes and don’t open them until the sound of her heel cannot be heard again. Unless? Well, death is all that awaits you.
Bush Babies
bush babies
The bush baby is also a myth used to scare boarding school students into minding their business and staying indoors in the night.
The story narrates that on a calm night, with the wind at a minimum, when your almost at that point of sweet sleep, you will hear the sound of a baby crying outside your window. It will sound very much like a baby or a toddler crying, sometimes the kid will be calling for help. Now you being the good Samaritan, will go outside to help the little one, just as you reach the kid, he looks up at you with red eyes and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth and you will never be seen again.
Some say they kill and eat you right there, while others say they drag you to hell.
The moral of this story? Stay in bed and mind your own business.
Jinn
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bush-babies-e1456932214806.jpg
The Jinn which is peculiar to the north is said to have an Islamic background, most popular in boarding schools that have a majority of Muslims.
No one is sure what they look like, but it is agreed that they are very small, sometimes invincible and mostly live on trees and anthills.
They are believed to attack young ladies who leave their hair uncovered (unclad) especially when they pass under a tree.
Myths have it that it also attacks, if you step on their house or children or pour water on them, and don’t apologize. The question and irony of this is how does one even apologize when you don’t even know you did anything. Lol

Tossing Your Tooth Up A Roof
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/tooth-up-the-roof-e1456933859155.jpeg
When a child looses a tooth in Nigeria, unlike in the western world with Europeans who put it under the pillow and wait for the tooth fairy, children throw their teeth onto the roof
This is how most children were told to dispose off their baby or “milk” teeth. A wish is often made as the child throws the tooth.

Whistling At Night
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/whistling.jpg
In some parts of Nigeria, whistling (making music/melody without singing) is a no no because you will wake the dead, who will whistle back at you and just may escort you back to their graves.
Another belief is that you will be calling snakes to you, and you won’t be able to control them.

Mammy Water
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/mermaid-e1456931933126.png
Quite similar to Disney’s little mermaid, a Nigerian Myth has it that a river goddess who is described as a beautiful and graceful being, is half human and half fish.
However, this goddess is not a doe eyed princess looking for her true love, instead she’s out for an easy slave to carry back to her watery kingdom to serve her and her sisters for as long as they wish.
Another myth is that, if you find one brushing her hair by the beach at night, she will swim away and leave her comb behind, if you pick up this comb, she will appear to you in your dreams asking for it back, in exchange for money, any amount you want.

Looking In The Mirror At Night

https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/mirrors-at-night.jpg
Legend being passed on from one generation to the next has it that at night, mirrors open the door to the underworld, ruled by dark forces and there goes the soul of the deceased.
It is believed that if you look in the mirror at night, you will see spirits, and evil. And the more you look at them, the stronger they will be nourished by your energy, which can supposedly help to break them from another world.

Pregnant Women
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Pregnant-women-Nigeria.jpg
Most cultures and tribes have their own rules and beliefs when it comes to pregnant women. Nigerians are no different.
In some cultures, like the Ijaw and Yorubas, a pregnant woman is not allowed to see a masquerade because they believe that the baby will look like a masquerade when it is born.
Also in some places, when a pregnant woman is sitting with her legs out, you must not cross her legs, the reason? The baby might look like you or bad luck will follow the child. -
