No single igbo man on his crew.
Na wahooo. Python dance against the Igbos is at all levels

cashlurd:
I have always pointed this same thing to everyone who cares to listen. It's a very insane idea. Living in a rented apartment in the city and having so many rooms vacant in ur duplex at the village. And it's saddening that igbos do this a lot. They believe building a house in the village is a big accomplishment. The money I will use to build a duplex in the village which I know is a once in a while abode, I will use it and do so many landed property investments in the city

I am everything on the list except 7&9,does that mean I lack integrity?

Integrity, for those who are not familiar, is quite important. It is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.

People who have a strong sense of integrity are sadly a rare breed. However, there are still some people left in this world with integrity, and usually, they share the following 13 traits.
13 Characteristics of People Who Have True Integrity

1. They value other people’s time.

They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They give credit where it is due.

They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They are authentic.

They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They are always honest.

They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They never take advantage of others.

They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. They do not argue over disagreements.
They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They give most people the benefit of the doubt.

They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They know when something is bothering someone.

They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They believe others.

They accept your word as truth until it is disproven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They apologize first.

If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They are humble.

They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They do good when they can.

They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They are always kind to those who need it.

Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.

you should have given us a teaser abi na trailer rather than point us to a link

The internet has busted open a floodgate of knowledge, and now more than ever you need special skills to separate truth from falsehood. Misconceptions have a way of wriggling into our brains and spreading through word-of-mouth, and social media has put that process on steroids.

But fear not, the internet also delivers the tools to help us learn, like this new interactive graphic that puts to rest a whopping 100 most common myths you always see floating around. Yeah, it's as epic as it sounds.

The handy new resource comes from GeekWrapped, a site for nerdy people to find appropriately themed gifts and tech products. But in their blog section the editorial team have been tackling projects that veer straight into the land of critical thinking - including mythbusting.

"Our goal was to create a truly authoritative piece on this topic," website founder Simon Saval told ScienceAlert.

"It took our editorial team over two months to research, verify, write, and design the content. The result is that we have now published one of the most complete overviews of misconceptions."

A hundred facts is a lot to browse through, but the whole infodump is actually quite user-friendly, since it's been broken down into six categories - the body, food, animals, science, history, and society.

"For each debunked myth we made sure that there were at least three independent and trustworthy sources, including peer-reviewed research and sources from very reputable publishers," explains Simon.

That's pretty cool, and we really like that you can even check out all those references for yourself - all the books, websites and other sources are listed at the bottom of the infographic.

The result is a fascinating grab-bag of trivia, and fun to test your own knowledge against, too. Does it really take seven years to digest gum? Is MSG harmful? Do we really swallow spiders in our sleep?

You'll also find pithy explanations for why Earth is not flat, why it's okay to call evolution a theory, which species we actually evolved from (spoiler: not chimps), and, of course, that we don't just use only 10 percent of our brain.

This truly is a resource you can share with anybody - and keep it in your bookmarks for when you need to do a quick fact-check on something that comes up during a lunch conversation. (That approach may not win you any friends, but hey, at least you'll be right about something?)

Below we have embedded the 'short' version of the infographic, featuring some of the most common myths.

To browse the full, interactive version, just Go here . . . . . .

so all nigerian girls are intelligent since they chew gum?

If you are anything like most people chances are you don’t think of yourself as ‘intelligent.’ That being said you most likely are!

While people who get good grades on their tests and do good throughout school may seem smarter they are really dumbing themselves down in the long run. Most of them don’t even think for themselves. There is nothing wrong with being who you are. Intelligence is much more than just getting good grades. It is creativity, imagination, and being true to yourself.

If you are a bit out of the ‘normal’ that society has laid out for you don’t worry. You may be smarter because of it. Check out the things below, if you do these then you are much smarter than you think.
1. You are skilled at showing empathy

It may feel like you are in tune with the emotions of those around you because you are. This is a big part of emotional intelligence which you can learn about by clicking here.

2. You are open to new things and ideas

You are able to look at both sides of an argument and accept new ideas rather than avoiding them. By being more open minded you are able to take a firm stand on a position and act accordingly with a great foundation under your feet.

3. You are curious

Back in 2016, one study actually linked childhood intelligence and openness to experience, this being something that leads to intellectual curiosity later on in life. Being curious is important, it makes you much more likely to learn new things as you go through this life.

4. You admit that you do not know everything

We all know someone who thinks they know it all and even when they are wrong they refuse to change their viewpoint. This is just how some people are. In a study by David Dunning and Justin Kruger found that the less intelligent you are the more you overestimate your cognitive abilities.

5. You can make people laugh and laugh with them

Comedians have been found to have higher than average IQs when compared to average people. This could be because funny people are more witty and creative.


6. You are an introvert

Introverts have been found to be more intelligent on average. This is because the brain works differently for introverts than it does for anyone else.

7. You’re a night owl

You stay up late and cannot help it no matter what you try, this is not as bad as you might think. Research has found that people who go to bed later are smarter than people who go to bed earlier.


8. You take naps

Napping according to one study can make you smarter because it boosts your memory and learning capabilities. If you take naps you are already ahead of the game.

9. You chew gum

Yes chewing gum can make you smarter. It has been found to boost brain function and helps some people concentrate better. Smart people seem to realize this and enjoy gum frequently.

You see, there are a lot of things that make us stand out when it comes to intelligence that we normally wouldn’t stop to even think about. If you do any of the things listed above it is because you are already highly intelligent. No sense is being unaware of your potential, and if you don’t do the things listed above maybe you should give them a try.
