A young, inquisitive girl named emofine is drinking from a bottle of fanta with a straw. After drawing on the liquid, she observes that when she firmly closes the outlet of the straw with her tongue and removes the straw completely from the bottle, the liquid defies the law of gravity and stays in the straw! Shocked
How do you explain this to her!?

sauer oh you swore to me that you'll never reveal my magical powers
Besides emofine doesn't drink fanta. It was ginger beer or you dey yarn of another emofine abi?

Okay Einstein, reveal the workings behind this phenomenon to moi.
Thanks in advance.

I have heard some Nigerians say that, and I just don't get it because the Benin/Ife art are master pieces to me and advanced art, which even surpassed Europeans. To me witchcraft has nothing to do with those arts, two different things why Nigerians feel the need to connect them is utter rubbish to me

The irony is - it was such fine pieces of work that challenged and revised the way Europeans and the like thought of Africans. Binis for example were casting before the Europeans so such skill didn't have it's origin in Europe neither could the Europeans thus say that the Binis etc acquired the knowledge from them.
These works as well as many in Africa pose as a testament to the sophistication of Africans and their civilization. 
"Withcraft"? *sigh*
Actually I usually hear such depreciative language from Christian Nigerians hmmmn

haha False


Superfluous words are often employed by empty people.

Emofine, emofine, emofine. I've missed her here

Je suis désolée, my mind is kinda occupied at the moment

Long One:
To some, it is, particularly if the marriage is more of a contract or an arranged one, alternatively one borne out of necessity.

I thought those marriages were usually born out of personal family interest i.e. the wealth, position or reputation of the potential spouse or /and their family/background, I never for once considered that phentotypes was an objective in those kind of arranged marriages but maybe you're right.

Using a personal example, my Aunt, apparently in my best interests (I am in my twenties), decided to find a wife for me. She hooked me up with someone in 2010, luckily for me; I had a good excuse to escape. She found someone again this year, and when I researched the girl she had in mind, I discovered she was as short as the previous one. (Small stout bottle)

I asked her playfully why she sees fit I marry a short girl, her reply was simple; since you are Tall (6’ 5”), if you marry a short girl, the kids will just be about right. As you can imagine, I am plotting my next great escape, lol.

Wow you’re tall. You’ll make me look like a dwarf.
Lol but even if you marry a tall women there is still every chance that your children may not be tall or as tall as the parents.

Long One:
So, what happened after? Did the pleasures of this world get to you?

It wasn’t so much the pleasures of this world that enticed me as such. It was the rehearsal and mimicking that I grew tired of (truth be told I wasn’t a “true” believer more just a “follower” and it wasn’t of my own choosing which made me question the sincerity in my supposed conviction).
After all it was not my own belief it was my parents belief in which I never inherited sadly for them. I never formed such notions independently to be confident enough to call myself a true "Christian" when I was being moulded into one.
Besides I don’t believe faith is hereditary so I’ve embarked on my own personal journey. And on the contrary I am not easily seduced by the pleasures of this world if anything I was seeking for something otherworldly and for me – religion (more so an involuntary one) cannot seal the hole I wanted to fill. Spiritualism over materialism any day.

bin gbagbo:
will sinful animals go to hell?

What consitutes as "sin" in the animal kingdom?

Who are the "chosen" breed or group of animals that will thus go forth into the animal kingdom and preach the "good news" for the "sinners" to repent?

Did Jesus die for the animals?

What will become of the poor pigs who are in certain relgious denomination considered as filthy and dirty?

Not everything that exists among the community of humans is present or can be mapped out into the animal world . . ."Thank God"

Fulaman198:
First and Foremost, you guys have to realize that Hausa and Fulani are not the same thing. A lot of the Fulani that live in Sudan are Mbororo which are Nomadic Fulani, that you find here in Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Sudan.

I am aware that these two groups are not one and the same although in Nigeria they are often merged.

Hausa people are plentiful in Sudan too, though I am not sure why.

According to some reports Hausa's remained there on their way to Hajj. Besides I've often wondered about the similarities between the Hausas and their (some) Sudanese neighbours and possibly their lifestyle was attractive and familiar enough for them to stay put? . . .just an assumption. Of course I could be wrong

TisaBone:
I'm dark skinned (very dark at that) and sure I got teased. My nickname in school was Shaka Zulu. My feelings were hurt, and I often came home crying. One day,my aunt hollered at me demanded I quit that crying. "Dont you know that Shaka Zulu was a king?"

Love this. Brilliant!

Lol True


Once you have a person's mind you have their body

Well once in my mid teens when I was apparently "born-again" I finished a little prayer - it was quite sincere actually, probably naive too.
After concluding my prayer I looked up and stared out of my window, it was dark at that time. As I looked passed the landscape I saw a bright light concentrated on the roof of a building and was so surprised. I've never seen an angel before so was astonished. The amazing thing is that I saw that reflection on more than one occasion so assumed I was surely "blessed".
However one day I was concentrating so hard on the image I saw a little logo beneath the light. I focused my eyes harder and lo and behold my "angel" turned out to be a cylindrical logo with light radiating from the spotlights.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=860825.msg10099820#msg10099820 date=1328128792]I dont see anything worng with what she said.

They look different from bantu blacks- why is that a problem. And neither is it by force for them to become bantu.[/quote]I never implied it was a problem. After all it is her prerogative. I just included a real life illustration - I'm not largely concerned whether such is for the right reasons or not. However I do wonder if such is a legitimate concern or perhaps just vanity or even both (and this question is not exclusive to the young lady but to others that have the same concern for their potential children).
Essentially that's just controlling one generation.
Such people may not be able to prevent their children from filtering particular phenotypes into the family's gene pool when they choose their own partners - could these people reconcile with the image of their children's children if their looks may not fit their criteria? etc

Furthermore I have no clue as to why you mentioned "Bantu-blacks" because the young lady declaring her future spouse will be Somali doesn't only mean she will deny other blacks or "Bantu-blacks" as you call it but men from all backgrounds i.e. Caucasian/Asian etc even including people from the Horn of Africa.
Her preference is Somali which is her prerogative of course. Her preferred spouse is not even the issue. My question concentrates on how some people when seeking a spouse take into consideration how their potential children may appear.

Lastly there is no such thing as looking like a "Bantu". Bantu is a language grouping not a phenotype classification. Xhosa's don't look like Bassa's for example yet they fall under the same grouping - language grouping.

Fhemmmy:
Ha hahahaha . . . I am laffing so hard right now.
But come to think of it, i guess that is why people dont wanna marry ugly people

I guess it's kinda like selective breeding because some people may want certain phenotypes to feature in their child.

I was in conversation with a young girl from Somalia who swore she will only marry a Somali man because of various reasons but two of them that struck me were:
a) their genes are not dominant when they mix outside their ethnic bracket
and
b) she didn't want to have children that would look odd or different to her

It may not be because she considers others to be "ugly" - she just hopes for her child to look like a Somali I guess

Will you?
Will you?

Looks can be a factor for some when determining a partner. Thus does such factor stem from a genetic concern i.e. how potential children may appear?

@OP

To be honest I'm not a keen eater so can go for a couple of days without eating but that's not even deliberate on my part or something I'm conscious of. I could thus do such an experiment myself but the fact that I will be conscious of my abstinence may cause me to feel the effect even more.
Most likely what you will notice after a while is that some way during the process your body would have been used to such and thus you may not feel hungry as before and by the time you break your fast initially your portions may be pretty small - well at least in my case. However on the upside fasting is good for cleansing the body.

Good luck.
