ExAngel007: A mummified "mermaid" said to grant immortality to whoever tastes its flesh will be examined by scientists in order to reveal its true nature.
The mysterious creature was allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean, off the Japanese island of Shikoku, between 1736 and 1741, and is now kept in a temple in the city of Asakuchi.
The creature has a human appearance except for its fish-like lower half.
Researchers from the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts have now taken the mummy for CT scanning in a bid to unravel its secrets.
Hiroshi Kinoshita of the Okayama Folklore Society, who came up with the project, said the bizarre creature could have religious significance.
Hiroshi Kinoshita "Japanese mermaids have a legend of immortality," he said.
"It is said that if you eat the flesh of a mermaid, you will never die."
"There is a legend in many parts of Japan that a woman accidentally ate the flesh of a mermaid and lived for 800 years.
"This ‘Yao-Bikuni’ legend is also preserved near the temple where the mermaid mummy was found.
"I heard that some people, believing in the legend, used to eat the scales of mermaid mummies."
The scientists examining the mummy will publish their findings later this year.
I have never seen such a president. He seems mentally tough and physically strong for anything. Like him or hate him, he is one man that fears no one. Some says he is arrogant, but we ain't all wired to be the same in life.
He is in the mould of President Trump.
In fact 62% of Americans are of the opinion that if Trump was President, Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine because he knows that Trump is unpredictable too.
him don carry last naw! Eyadema of TOGO don do am since 20+years ago.
robosky02: Eto’o declared biological father of 22-year-old Spanish woman
A Madrid court on Thursday declared former Barcelona striker, Samuel Eto’o, as the biological father of a 22-year-old Spanish woman, Erika Do Rosario Nieves.
Eto’o declared himself in absentia and did not attend to the evidence presented against him in court.
This has been indicated to EFE by lawyer Fernando Osuna, who was in charge of the legal representation of Nieves’ lawsuit in 2018.
Nieves’ mother and Eto’o met, according to the lawsuit, in a Madrid nightclub in 1997, when the Cameroon legend was on loan at Leganes.
The mother disclosed that, during the pregnancy, she tried to communicate with the former Chelsea attacker, but he did not answer her phone calls or emails.
She provided biological evidence that supported her testimony, which made the judge admit the claim, although Eto’o never met the court’s requirements.
Eto’o must now pay Nieves 1,400 euros per month, including retroactive payments since the lawsuit was filed.
I once said I will be giving a brief summary of my journey so far living with HIV. I made an initial post but deleted most of it because it was too long. I’ll try run through my journey here, the difference between Naija and the US (which is where I reside) and maybe things I would have done differently back home.
I realized I was positive in 2008. That was while still in 2nd year in the university, I won’t go into details how I felt, but what led to me privately going for a HIV test was because I had chronic headaches while in campus, infact I went home and told my parents I had migraine, we went to different hospitals and of course paid bills and got pills for migraine, when I went back to school, it continued. I tried with several pills to sure that but on doing a couple of research, I thought I should go for a hiv test, I went and then was positive. I informed my parents immediately that my migraine is gone (lol) because they kept asking how I was doing, they thought I should return maybe after 3 months to go for another general examination but because I now know what’s up, I told them I’m good.
I went to one Catholic confession because I was not sure who to tell, I don’t trust anyone including my sisters, that means I had all the secret myself. When I told the priest, he then asked me to wait after and directed me to a clinic at FMC Umuahia. My first visit there, I was not asked to start Antiretrovirals because my viral load is still above 500, what I was given was just septrin (I learnt it’s mostly to prevent cough, that’s the most deadly thing that can reduce positive person instantly).
I managed my viral load for almost 2 years until I moved from Abia to Abuja. In Abj, every positive person have to start taking Antiretroviral so I started taking that (one pill a day). Even at that time, I never told anyone, I fought and got a visa to move out of Naija and it’s been stressless all these years in the states. Here are the disadvantages:
1. Visiting FMC Umuahia was horrible, there is confidentiality in terms of files and others. The nurses are terrible, once I get there on my scheduled appointment (of course with maybe 70-100 other people), I’ll sit at the back and they have to scream when they are calling names and everyone will turn to see who the person is. I know we all there are positive but at least respect me for once.
2. Because I wanted to be discreet which eventually paid off (please tell people you trust if you have to, me being discreet was tasking, I wish I had the courage to talk but sadly I don’t trust anyone), I had to hide my drugs, I haven’t seen something so hard in my life, because I have to take it daily, I usually have a cup for a month and then hide the other two months surplus. At the same time, I was scared someone may see it.
3. Even when I became undetectable (can’t transmit HIV), I was still too careful when dealing with people, it took me time to finally loosen up. A lot changed about me, I became very quiet most times, lost interest in a lot of things and questioned certain things as well.
4. Relationships became a huge task for me, infact I stop wooing babes, I’ve always wanted to date so as to lead to something but again I thought of a time I have to have this conversation on me being positive, that discouraged me a lot. Even though I can’t transmit, my mental state still shielded me from it all.
4. I hated taking pills but because I need to make sure I stay undetectable, it’s now a norm for me, one pill a day and that’s it. But this only happened because of my first visit to Umuahia, I thought I will see a few people there, but I was wrong. I saw people living with HIV for almost 40 years, people come with old family members to pick their pills and infact the look on their faces too seem like nothing is wrong, l loud and happy while I sat in the corner filled with thought. Again I saw people too who never took either never took their drugs or didn’t find out early they are positive therefore have very low viral load and have been attacked my illnesses or have lost so much weight. They are there to pick drugs too and keep trying. I learnt in most cases, some survive as well but sadly others won’t make it. After my second visit and research, I knew it nothing at all if I take my pill.
A different world Living in US: 1. Drugs remain free and infact delivered to my address once in 3 months.
2. I still continued my routine test free of charge to ensure I remain undetectable.
3. The amount of confidentiality is second to none (OMG), any health practitioner dealing with you is very careful to ensure he/she or the organisation don’t get sued so you are covered. Infact you come to the hospital like others and mixed with other people who came for different things (unlike Umuahia) where anyone walking into that part of the building is already known to be positive.
4. People are very open with being positive in US, people are well learned about HIV and already aware all they need is to be undetectable and that’s it unlike back home where majority will stigmatize when they hear “he/she has hiv” when it takes them just 10 seconds to google and learn more about it (knowledge is power).
Finally, since the 14 years (from the time I knew I was positive), I’ve only lost one girl I met at the clinic, I confirmed this from her Facebook account, I knew she probably will not find it funny because at the time I started conversing with her and others, she works for a firm in PH and lived with her Uncle who had kids, so she sometimes leaves her pills (so they won’t know) and can go weeks without taking it. I was scared for her because what anyone wouldn’t want to do is to have a “hiv drug resistance”.
Stop stigmatization, if someone is able to inform you about their status, let them know you are educated about this and inform them to stay undetectable.
Alert: I have never had fever or any serious health related issue since those years and I’m glad I pulled through this. Till date, no family or friend is aware.
I will finally start informing my siblings soon, at least telling them then will be a shock to them because we’ve all lived those years and they didn’t notice a thing and I’m already in control of my life.
HIV is not death sentence.
Be kind and Be blessed once again…. peace

WillyWonda1: I really don't know what I did to my immediate boss since I got promoted earlier this year. Ever since I got my promotion letter, my boss changed to me abruptly. He suddenly finds everything I do useless.
When I noticed the change, I went to him and begged him to tell me what I had done wrong so we could settle everything and get back along. But he said I did nothing wrong and I shouldn't worry about anything. So I locked up and was doing my job to the best of my ability. So he did something that sparked my madness and anger.
I got an email that I was to go on board our vessel to go and load from Lagos cos our mother vessel berthed in Lagos. And cos of my promotion, I'm not supposed to be a crew member anymore. But I was surprised to see the mail and went to his office to address the issue, next thing he said was 'IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR DUTY, YOU CAN RESIGN'.
That statement really sent chills down my spine and I sparked and told him really derogatory words. I don't even feel anyhow about my reaction. I'm happy I told him his life history. I'm very excited to have poured my mind out to him. If I get sacked, I won't feel bad, rather I'll be glad I told him what I told him. #Peace
just give us small pieces,yes we no say meat no dey for fish head.
BrightDr: Had to use my old backup account to stay anonymous.
So earlier this morning I was thinking of a fancy and expensive place to take my girlfriend for Valentine celebration in order to have a quality time. I saw her call as if she know what was in my mind. We started gisting, she was telling me how desperate she is to meet me.i no see anything wrong there.if u grains egusi for market na all dey come out? Before midnight if u no apologize to her,u no go see person way better pass am.
Just when I'm about to tell her my plans, she said " what are you bringing me, cus I prepared a meal for you and you know how expensive stuff is now". I was sad and disappointed. This is the girl I always spend on without second thoughts. Bought her expensive gadgets too.
All I want is a gift like other normal people not even expensive stuff. But I observe how stingy she is despite having good source of income. Imagine having ordinary Moringa Soup as gift on a day like today?
Pasima: Good morning guys please I am not happy, there is my girlfriend I am in love with we do bleep and I suck her well but after new year her attitude changed she doesn't allow me to touch her if I ask her for sex she will say not yet.

Ishitinyourlife: If you're an avid students of life and understand politics and international relations, come in and State your opinion, however don't come here and post unverified new. Here is the latest
-the whole conflict stemmed from the fact that Ukraine is growing closer and closer to the west with a possibility of joining NATO in the future,as a former Soviet nation with extremely deep ties to Russia, Russia cannot allow this because they fear it will be easier for the west to attack Russia through Ukraine,so they are asking for security guarantees -russia has amassed over 130k soldiers with millitary fleets that includes tanks, artillery, planes, ships in the Baltic sea etc.
If you have any questions or you're curious about anything in regards to This situation feel free to ASK
why Russia was helping the Donesky to leave ukraine?

Biafrannuke: Abba already has extradition request on his head by the US. The police already found him guilty and found no reason not to hand him to US. To avoid that, they put up the movie with NDLEA, claiming he bribed their officer and declared him wanted. By handing him over to NDLEA and commencing a kangaroo procecution( where he will never be convicted), they'll find reason to reject his extradition.

Something has really been eating me up, I think I need to share. I'm a young gal of about more than 17, I'm brown, tall, slim, have a long curly hair (I'm from a mixed race - Lebanon and Nigeria), brown eyes and nice lips I'm endowed (no be mouth).
I'm a fresher at UNIZIK. I know I am attractive which I don't deny, I don't boast nor make anyone feel inferior. I have 3 roommates. I respect them cos I'm the youngest amongst them. But they don't seem to get along with me. I have tried everything I Can.
Each time we go out, I'm usually the center of attraction which is not new to me, nothing special. They just hate me. I don't boast. I try 2 look as simple as possible. But guys do come for me and they get jealous.
I have tried talking to them but they said they're fine but deep down I know they don't like me. The other day they intentionally frustrated me, they hid my assignments and burnt a new gown a guy at church got me. I'm tired of all these attitude everyday. I feel lyk taking my life, the hate is much. I didn't make myself. Help me guys!!
About 2 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex with a lady, not like the condom broke, it was unprotected and it was for a period of good 2days. Now I totally regret my actions and I want to go for an HIV test but fear won't let me, I just hope nothing happens to me. How long does it take for HIV symptoms to start showing?. And when will HIV result show on a test?. I just hope I can gather enough courage to do it soon. I'm not just at peace with myself anymore.
Guys, please stay away from premarital sex, whether protected or not cos it can mess with your peace of mind. If u can't please use condom oo. I've promised to remain celibate for the time being, nothing is even in the sex, it's so over hyped.
one thing must kill a man.in some countries people intentionally infect themselves to get hiv grants from the government.here,we don't want to die (we don't want hiv)but we want to go to heaven.(we want shine kongo)
