sambos994: No one told you to comment on this thread. If you're bored, go do something else.

So many hurt fellas on this thread.
You guys must be die hard fans of Kano pullars/Ac leopards

Billyonaire: I asked you if there is anything wrong with sleeping with brother and sister cos I find it funny that people just believe its against religion, its taboo, its superstitious and that its country. But I want to know cos last time I checked, Adam impregnated Eve, and Eve was Adam's rib, and He went ahead to impregnate 4 of his daughters, even Cain and Abel impregnated their sisters and daughters. Fast forward to present time, marrying a sister has just been stopped in one community in the South of the country although they still permit marriage between step sisters and cousins. These guys are healthy just like Adam, Cain and Abel. Lets not even talk about China cos I cant prove that. But in-breeding is just a disgusting way of stigmatizing nature sexual opportunisms. Man, just like Goats and any animals can met with anyone, its not anti-nature.

You now believe in Adam and Eve off the Bible? I thought you said 'no religious superstitions' in your first post where you brought up incest?

Anyway, I am basing my beliefs on scientific findings done by researchers and historical evidence (there was inbreeding in ancient Egyptians and modern day findings showed that it had negative effects).

honeric01: Why not go to bed if you're bored?

I shouldn't get something to do or get a book to read?

I should go to bed instead?

Not very good advice is it?

Billyonaire: I already googled and its the reason I said you lie. Yes, you lied.

Ok. Sleep with your siblings if it's what you desire to do.

raqueal: Walahi, every spirit of "first to break the news" must die. What's the importance of this? To begin another round of argument that in no way edify us?

Op, get busy or better still go skin some melon.

lol

Angry about people criticizing your pastor ehh?

MsDarkSkin: smh.

Why are you shaking your head?

Front page is hella boring today.

These crap football threads keep showing up there.

Billyonaire: You are lying!

Dude, just use google. I can't start going back and forth with you on this thread.

Whether you desire to sleep with your sister or not does not concern me. It's your life.

Billyonaire: Is there something naturally wrong in a brother marrying a sister ? Please no religious/superstitious lectures.

a1solution: nothing wrong its just superstition

I can't believe the two of you. In this age of enlightenment you still make comments like this?
Inbreeding/incest is abnormal. Evolution does not favour incestous relationships. First of all, human beings evolved to be turned off by the natural body odour of their siblings because they are not supposed to be attracted to them and desire mating with them.

Also there have been studies that show that inbreeding poses threats to a population by causing reduced fertility and increased child mortality/morbidity.

Another study showed that inbreeding significantly increases childhood mortality in the first year of life, increases morbidity, and significantly increases numbers of disabled offspring.

Development is also thought to be affected by inbreeding because the children of consanguineous(incestous) marriages were significantly older than other children when they first walked and talked. inbreeding also causes loss of immune system function.

Over time, inbreeding leads to a decreased fitness of the population

You can use google to get more info on the subject.

I can't believe such a trivial thing as 'oga at the top' became a meme.
It is not even funny, just embarrassing.
I have no idea why it got so much hype.

Wow. So it's not only HIV epidemic tehy are facing in South Africa, they also have plenty of pedophilles there?
Or are all these school girls that are sleeping with the sugar daddies above 16?

israel007: Rape don become their natural resources as oil and corruption be out own for 9ja

That's true. People are taking note of India as a place where a lot of Rayping goes on.
Sick Indians....

mecussey: Truth, but what else...if one does not kill you another will kill you. I have noticed that 80% of those who suffer heart attack and kidney stones are non alcoholics.

Hmmmm....interesting.

phemi3: Really hard facts but too over hyped in a society like ours. I dey jealous oooo!

It's not overhyped.
Men also get to enjoy perks; No back pain from pregnancy, no constant tiredness/sleepiness, no swollen feet, no nausea, no constant irritable moods, no fallen booobs from breastfeeding, no weight gain from pregnancy, no having to wake up every night to breastfeed the child etc.

I was the bully in primary school.
Man I was a brat then. . . . .bullied both boys and girls. . . .why they didn't report me to the teachers I will never know.
Secondary school was different however. I was at the receiving end of the bullying there.
But it was a minimal thing and I wasn't specifically targeted or anything.
How I handled it?
I didn't do anything. The bullying didn't involve beating, only ridiculing and sending errands so I was hardly bothered by it.
I just felt disdain and somethin akin to pity for the bullies because I realized that they were only acting the way they did because they wanted to feel good about themselves or because they saw others acting that way.

kulyie: because its not easy to carry a human being or beings inside ur system for 9 months,change ur diet to kip dem healthy,change ur dressing patterns,have neaseau,morning sickness and its also not easy to be a mother right from being pregnant to seeing d child pass tru all stages of life til he or she is matured and leaves d home,its also not easy being a mother in dis part of our world where culturally it is allowed for men to beat and abuse women emotionally pregnant or not,it is also not easy 4 a woman to be a mother almost all d days of her life with a man being a husband but not a father.am sure dis ansas ur question

Hard facts of life. . . .very hard facts.

10. The Donner Party

https://listverse.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/donners2-1.jpg

The Donner Party was a group of eighty-seven American pioneers who, during their trip across America, became trapped by snow. By the time help arrived to rescue them, only forty-eight of the original eighty-seven remained, leading to numerous questions about exactly what had happened.

It’s now commonly accepted that some members of the Donner party, driven to desperation by intense hunger, eventually resorted to consuming those who’d already died. In interviews directly following their relief, cannibalism was mentioned several times. But for some reason, these accounts were later denied—which prompted archeologists to go and dig up the tooth-marked bones of the bodies.

9.Regina v. Dudley and Stephens
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dudley-6.jpg?resize=600%2C411
The case of Dudley and Stephens is a landmark British case from 1884, still studied today as an example of common law and the legal defense of “necessity.”

Basically, four sailors were stranded at sea without food or water. Dudley and Stephens proposed that, in order for some of them to survive, someone needed to be sacrificed for the greater good. When no one stepped forward they murdered their cabin boy (who was admittedly already in a coma) and ate him instead. When rescue arrived, the men argued that they committed the murder to stave off their hunger. The courts didn’t agree, and sentenced them to hanging. When they realized that this seemed a little harsh—since, after all, the men had merely robbed a seventeen-year-old of his life—they revised to sentence to six months in jail.

8.The Crusades
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-09-at-8.41.09-PM.jpg?resize=600%2C483
The Crusades cut across Asia and left thousands of dead in their wake. But such huge armies couldn’t fuel themselves on God’s love alone—and so when supplies began to run low, both sides thought nothing of eating the flesh of those they’d just slain.

Though the cannibalism was most likely prompted by necessity, it’s also noted that it served to demotivate their enemy.

7. The Tang Dynasty
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/libai.jpg?resize=600%2C450
The Tang Dynasty, in Chinese history had one curious aspect: Revenge cannibalism.

“Revenge cannibalism” was a real thing; annoyed townspeople would sometimes beat a corrupt official to death and eat his flesh. It also wasn’t uncommon for criminals to be punished by having their heart pulled out, purely so that an overseeing official could eat a small piece of it.

6. Leningrad
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-09-at-8.30.33-PM.jpg?resize=598%2C429
The siege of Leningrad tested the limits of human hunger. Food was so scarce that citizens would peel wallpaper from walls, in order to scrape off and eat the glue holding it in place.

With virtually no food remaining anywhere in the city, cannibalism didn’t just become an option; it became a way of life. It ran so rampant that the police had to set up a task force to combat it, and parents wouldn’t let children leave the house due to their fear that people would kill and eat them. Half-eaten bodies actually littered the streets.

5.The Japanese in WWII
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-09-at-8.31.36-PM.jpg?resize=600%2C410
While Soviet citizens were being forced to eat their fellow men in Leningrad, Japanese soldiers the world over were doing essentially the same thing. The only difference was that they didn’t always do it merely because they were hungry.

Victims (invariably prisoners of war) were coldly killed, and their bodies then completely stripped of all consumable flesh (usually leaving only their hands and feet untouched). But this wasn’t always the case; some unlucky victims had the meat ripped from their arms and legs while they were still alive, after which they’d be thrown into pits to die. But here’s the worst part: some Japanese soldiers and officers didn’t carry out this act due to hunger-induced desperation—they did it just to make a point. The point presumably being that they were pure evil.

4.The Ukrainian Famine of 1932
https://i2.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-09-at-8.34.50-PM.jpg?resize=600%2C418
This famine is believed to have been almost entirely man-made. The year 1932 saw virtually all food produced by Ukrainian farmers being forcefully taken by the USSR, leaving millions without sustenance—the vast percentage of whom simply died of hunger.

One largely unreported fact was just how many Ukrainian citizens resorted to cannibalism. A certain story tells us of a man who murdered his wife and calmly cooked her body in a soup, while others tell of children and babies who were eaten alive by their starving families—all of which took place while the smiling, jovial face of Joseph Stalin was being beamed around the entire world.

3.The Chinese Famine of 1959
https://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20121027_BKP001_0.jpg?resize=598%2C337
Chairman Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” pretty much messed up half of China, since it left millions of people in the country without food. Which—as you’ll know if you’ve been reading the other entries on this list—is never a good thing.

As detailed in the book Hungry Ghosts, for some people the hunger was simply too much too bear, and cannibalism became their only choice. It wasn’t long before human flesh became a market staple, and there were even stories being thrown around of parents swapping their children with other people. Why? So that they wouldn’t be burdened with the sin of eating their own child. They’d instead be condemning them to certain death, and murdering someone else’s child—which must have been much easier on their conscience.

2.St. Francis Raid
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/001470_xlarge.jpg?resize=598%2C405
The village of St Francis, Canada, was raided in the latter half of 1759 during the French and Indian War. Though not a commonly-known detail of history, the raid should be so—simply due to the fact that Robert Rogers and his men carried out one of the most viciously brutal raids in history.

Robert Rogers and his rabid raiders are said to have ransacked the village, before scalping and killing any prisoners they took. But all that killing took its toll on the Rogers’ men, and their intense hunger caused them to feast on the raw flesh of the recently killed. After the battle, one Ranger actually commented that after what they’d done, he and his fellow rangers, “hardly deserved the name of human beings.”

1.The Siege of Ma’arra and Antioch
https://i0.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/maarat-an-numan_660_440.jpg?resize=600%2C400
Starving Christian troops, driven mad by hunger during the siege, would reportedly cut off pieces of their slain opponents’ buttocks before frying them. Sometimes, in their haste to literally eat their enemy’s ass, they would consume undercooked meat and would become violently ill. Other tales speculate that the Crusaders boiled adults alive and even roasted children on spits—because when God’s on your side, you can do anything you want without consequence, apparently.

Many people use alcohol to escape from their problems, or to change their personalities and many people both young and older adults enjoy consuming a couple of drinks or a glass of wine once in a while. But, going way too overboard could lead to alcohol abuse which can result to several serious health-related consequences. Not only it can destroy your health, but it can also damage your relationships with others in terms of physical abuse, petty crimes and accident mishaps.
Some of the negative effects alcohol has on the body and heart are:

1.When a person takes a drink of alcohol, ethanol (the chemical name for drinkable alcohol) irritates the stomach lining, releasing acids. A small amount is broken down chemically, but most of the alcohol heads toward the small intestine through an opening called the pyloric valve. Drinking too much alcohol too quickly can cause the valve to swell and close, causing vomiting.

2. Drinking alcohol continuously or in a daily basis can have a huge effect on your CNS or central nervous system. Long term effects of alcoholism may include memory loss, lower pain threshold, alcohol dependency and brain damage.

3. Excessive and prolonged use of alcohol can severely damage the liver causing it atrophy which can result to liver damage.

4. Alcohol is fattening. A pint of 4% beer or two double gin and tonics equals around one burger. Alcohol is also very rich in energy, packing 7 calories per gram. But like pure sugar or fat, the calories are void of nutrients. The more calories an individual consumes in alcohol, the less likely it is that they will eat enough food to obtain adequate nutrients. To make matters worse, chronic alcohol abuse not only displaces calories from needed nutrients, but also interferes with the body?s metabolism of nutrients, leading to damage of the liver, digestive system, and nearly every bodily organ.

5. Excessive drinking increases your risk of intestinal damage which greatly affects the lining of the body's small and large intestine. Thus, the body's capability to absorb necessary nutrients is compromised.

6. Alcohol dehydrates your body generally, including the skin – your body's largest organ. This happens every time you drink. Drinking too much is also thought to deprive the skin of vital vitamins and nutrients. Over time, drinking heavily can have other, more permanent, detrimental effects on your skin. Rosacea, a skin disorder that starts with a tendency to blush and flush easily and can eventually lead to facial disfigurement, is linked to alcohol.

7. Hungover people don't smell too good. The liver processes most of the alcohol you drink, but some of it leaves the body straight through your breath, sweat and urine and changes the natural body smells.

8.Over time, heavy drinking interferes with the neurotransmitters in the brain that are needed for good mental health. So while alcohol may help deal with stress in the short term, in the long run it can contribute to feeling of depression and anxiety and make stress harder to deal with.

9. Alcohol depresses the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which helps keep you hydrated. Dehydration can lead to electrolyte imbalances (characterized by nausea, dizziness and diarrhea) and headaches.

10. As little as one alcoholic drink a day can increase the risk of breast cancer, according to a 2009 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Researchers believe alcohol boosts risk of breast cancer by increasing estrogen levels, a known risk factor for breast cancer. Other theories: alcohol reduces the liver’s ability to clear cell-damaging toxins and depletes the body of cancer-protective antioxidants, such as folate and vitamin C.

byvan: Alt accounts really??this guy is a F**cking drama king,why do you think I need an alt account huh??You dropped your opinion,I dropped mine,why are you hurting??if someone liked my post,it means that he or she understood my view,what's the biggie about that??or do you normally like your own posts??if you do,then you really are a clown.

Yada yada yada.

Your denial makes no difference to me love.

What the hell kind of name is 'funaab'? Sounds like a university where they have a lot of fun.

byvan: Don't bother yourself,my husband loves it,I love it,that settles it.Wait till I complain of Haunting phantoms,then I will solicit for your advice.Thanks.

You need to stop using your alt accounts to 'like' your own posts sweetie.

byvan: @OP,thanks,I ll stick to Brazillian hair then.

What difference does it make? It is the same thing as human hair!
Better start getting proud of your natural hair instead of fawning over the hair of people that would never attach African hair to their heads in a million years.

This is good. Maybe if Nigerians become averse to copying foreign hairstyles they would put more effort into creating new and beautiful styles for African hair.
