Meanwhile who owns the hotel.

Idi Amin: And who is Obi of onitsha? Does he have two heads? Why must everything about Ngige be politicized? A culti*st and ritual*ist placing a curse on an innocent man is simply the biggest joke of the century. As if the so called gods of the land are listening to him.mtcheeeeeew

Each cabin has a capacity of up to 110 people and makes approximately 115 trips per day


The Roosevelt in NY.

That's 12, 650 per car, per day..

Yes, I agree but it will not be meant to carry loads like someone here mentioned market women with their big baskets of pepper.

In the Nigerian setting, most people who do the fearing are the men and most people who do the rejoicing are the women.

If nigerians buy this then they are more foolish than they look.

Chibuhealth: And what have they achieved?

Nothing

Milkey way

Contrary to Popular Belief, Lake Natron Does Not Instantly Turn Birds To Stone
Guys, it's a lake. It's not Medusa.


Sometimes the media does this thing where it takes something incredibly fascinating and turns into a crappy game of telephone, and at the end everybody believes something completely fake. Case in point: after those gorgeous pictures of mummified Lake Natron birds made the rounds, now everybody thinks that the lake has supernatural gorgon-like powers.

No one is disputing that Natron is a dangerous place for most species, of course. As the New Scientist says, the lake can reach temperatures up to 60 °C and has an alkalinity between pH 9 and pH 10.5, making it pretty dang gross on the best of days — it can even burn the skin and eyes of animals who aren’t adapted to it. It also does preserve many of these animals’ bodies, specifically due to the combination of chemicals that are deposited into the water via runoff from a nearby Great Rift Valley volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai.

Unfortunately, the nuances of this lake’s ecosystem seem to escape many a casual observer, and what people appear to be taking away from most coverage is this: that there’s a lake in Africa that kills literally every creature that comes near it (which is false), and that it’s capable of killing those creatures instantly by turning them to actual stone (which is also false).

First of all, the preservation process is not something that happens instantaneously — it happens over a much longer period of time. Though the photos taken by Nick Brandt depict the petrified birds on perches and in naturalistic poses as if they were just petrified, they are all entirely staged. Brandt said as much in an e-mail to NBC news: ”I unexpectedly found the creatures — all manner of birds and bats — washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania[...] I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life.’”

Secondly, the birds are not “stone,” per se. The chemical process to which they were subjected is much closer to Egyptian mummifcation than anything else, and although the bodies appear chalky and stone-like in appearance, but they are not completely immovable. After all, if that were the case then Brandt would not have been able to reposition his birds into such surreal and breathtaking poses.

Furthermore, there are species that are perfectly capable of living near lake Natron without facing inevitable doom — specifically, there are extremophile fish, bacterium, and a specific type of algae that thrives in the alkaline-rich waters. The lake is also one of the largest breeding ground for North Africa’s lesser flamingos (not to be confused with the greater flamingo, which has a different bill and is just a bit larger– you know, “greater”), who come to the lake to feed on the aforementioned algae. Yes, the occasional flamingo dies and is preserved, but as you can see from the featured image above, there are plenty more that come out just fine.

But of course you wouldn’t know that by looking at, oh say, People Magazine, which calls Natron “a lake in Africa that turns all animals who come in contact with it to stone.” No, People! That’s not what’s happening! It’s so much more complicated than that!

Wild crazy world. But then serious resorces for the tansanians if only they would invest they could be a world producer of lime stone. On anoda thought what does history say about this lake; like was it a reminant of a previous active valcano.

kennygee: I found out four months ago that my ex was cheating on me with his girlfriend who he lied to me about claiming to have ended the relationship. We parted ways amicably even though i loved him.
I am seeing someone else now and we're having issues because yesterday, my ex called me to tell me he was ill (really ill) so i went to see him after church to be sure he's ok.(his gf doesn't stay in abuja with him, she's in lagos) i cooked for him, he ate and i left. My boyfriend got angry when i told him and now he is mad at me and threatening to break my sim card. I think he is over reacting. What is wrong with being there for an ill person, is it bad because he is my ex? Everything i did, i did from the goodness of my heart, nothing more.

Tell that to michael jackson all u want, no one will believe u. Ur bf has every right 2 be mad. U can't leave yam and goat in one room.

chineloSA: what you did is called SELF INFLICTED PAIN. And you expect us to feel for you. Why did you have to tell your ex? Seriously, why? Is he your father

Does his prayers get to heaven faster than the Angels prayers

Go remove that appendix, and while under that anaesthetic, please dream about another man.

HE HAS MOVED ON GIRL. HE DOESNT WANT YOU

Dauhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I know that hurts girl but thats the sad truth.

Mine was rome

But really, if men are that bad. What of women?

Awake Nigeria! !!!! Enough is enough.

I feel pain whenever I see my dads number, we lost early this year. I dont think I will delete his number.

She just trying to be nice

But the title of ur thread is confusing. U said ur wife to but she is yet to agree to ur proposal. Ma guy, u can force a woman already in a relationship out of her relation unless she comes out of it herself. If u force her out of it against her, u may regret. Have met people who though married couldnt resist sleeping with their exs cos of this.

tomakint: While Femi made sense in this article, can he tell the whole world what he did right while he was the helmsman at the Aviation sector that averted Air Crashes other than calling for the outright sack of Stella Oduah as if Air Crashes are the making of the Ministers in charge! If he was lucky not to witness air crashes under his watch does that make him the architect of that achievement? Maybe I am missing something here Stella is doing some fantastic jobs at the sector at the moment!

The man is a hypocrite no matter what he has to say weather good or bad

As long as he is not running around dancing naked, or hurting someone, there is nothing wrong in kneeling down to pray.

Is he just remixing his old songs. What the difference btw his "ur waist" he used to jab that silly nollywood actress and this "le kwa ukwu" (see waist). Or has he run out of song titles. Nothing to learn here abeg, ...next.

When u started I thought u wanted to finish the book but u just failed to do so. Or did u omit reading the part that says most people could have as much as 2 or 3 temperaments all in one person...

Can only happen with white folks

Princessmel: What does he mean?!
What's his intention
Surely it can't be true love right?
And vice versa for the males although rare cos women only say it when they mean it right?
Help please

are u new??

Tolexander: thank God it landed safely!

hope the tyre didn't burst due to another stowing away boy in the tyre compartment

No plane can land safely with a busted tire unless the tire was intact but the impact jg took on landing busted it...
