Ronnie and Donnie are joined at the waist and face each other. They have four arms and four legs and separate hearts and stomachs but share a lower digestive tract, a groin, a rectum and penis, over which Donnie has control.

The twins were born healthy in October 1951 but stayed in the hospital for two years as doctors tried to figure out how to separate them. When experts said they could not guarantee both babies would survive an operation to part them, the parents said they would stay as they were.

The boys did not go to school as teachers asked them to leave because they were too distracting to the other students. From the age of four to 39, they supported their family by performing in carnival sideshows in the U.S. and circuses throughout Central and South America.

PoliticsGovs, Businessmen, Others Donate N21.27bn To Jonathan by hamzia(op): 5:04pm On Dec 22, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid received a major boost on Saturday, as businessmen,
multinational organisations, interest groups and individuals donated the sum of N21.27bn to support his
campaign for the 2015 presidential election.
President Goodluck Jonathan and other national officials at the PDP fundraiser
The naira rain was at the Peoples Democratic Party Fund Raising Dinner held at the old Banquet Hall of
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The chairman of the occasion, Mr. Tunde Ayeni, set the ball rolling, when he announced a donation of
N2bn.
He said the sum consisted of N1bn donated by him and his partner, and another N1bn contributed by their
unnamed friends.
Players in the Oil and Gas sector announced a donation of N5bn; those in Real Estate and Building donated
N4bn; Transport and Aviation, N1bn; Food and Agriculture, N500m; Power, N500m; Construction, N310m;
Road Construction, N250m; National Automative Association, N450m; and Shelter Development Limited,
N250m.
The Chairman of the fundraiser committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, said his friends and associates in the power
sector were donating N5bn.
The PDP Governors Forum announced a total donation of N1.05billion.
The Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda, who spoke on behalf of the PDP governors, said each 21 of them
would donate N50m each.
The SIFAX Group announced N100m donation, while PDP stakeholders in Rivers State supported
Jonathan’s bid with N50m.
The 15 states on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission donated a total of N15million,
among other donations.
Several private individuals also gave donations.
Breakdown of donations made by different interest groups to the PDP
Mr. Joseph Makanju, representative of the Chief Fund Raiser and Chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko
Dangote said his principal, who was outside the country, did not leave a mandate.
He, however, promised that as soon as Dangote returned to the country, he would personally see the
National Chairman of the PDP, Adamu Mu’Azu, to offer his support.
Makanju assured those at the event that his principal would justify his position as the Chief Fund Raiser
with his donation.
Donation pledge forms were made available to guests at the event for personal donations.
Jonathan, in his remarks, described Saturday as a special day, due to the fundraiser. He thanked the
donors, while assuring them that the funds would not be wasted or misused.
“I thank everyone who made donation tonight,” said Jonathan.
The President stated that the money was for the PDP, stressing that the amounted generated would help
to run the PDP better.
‘2015 elections will be competitive’
Gana admitted that the 2015 general elections would be keenly contested.
He warned the leadership of the party, which has President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential
candidate, not to underestimate their opponents.
Gana, a former Minister of Information, said the coming elections would be competitive because it is going
to be more of a two-party contest.
He said, “Therefore, the PDP must not take things for granted. We must campaign very well. We must not
underestimate the opponent. Because we have been in power for 16 years, we are at a disadvantage. We
need to spread the message of our achievements diligently.
“The campaign should be issues-driven. While the other side will be talking of theory, we shall be showing
what we have done.”
Gana, also, warned the party’s leaders to ensure that PDP candidates at all levels are good ones.
He stated that serious work must be done in states where the party primaries had caused rancour among
members.
He also warned the leaders against the imposition of unpopular candidates.
Mu’azu seals fate of losers at primaries
The National Chairman of the PDP, Adamu Mu’azu, sealed the fate of aspirants who lost at the party’s
primaries at all levels.
Mu’azu said, “Power and glory come from God and nobody else. Those who have won should involve
everybody in their campaigns in order to make them family campaigns.
“For the losers, I pray for you that God will answer you at a later date. Join us to campaign for all our
candidates at all levels to have success.”

PoliticsI May Pick Muslim Runningmate If... —buhari by hamzia(op): 12:52pm On Dec 16, 2014
General Muhammadu Buhari has said it is
possible he picks a Muslim running mate
if his party, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) agrees.
Speaking on a Channels Television
interview on Sunday night, Buhari, one of
the strong contenders for the presidential
ticket on the platform of APC, noted that
the country had produced same religion
leaders in the past.
Recalling that former head of state,
General Yakubu Gowon and his service
chiefs were Christians and the late MKO
Abiola and Babagana Kingibe ticket in
1993 and even his team with Idiagbon, he
said nobody complained.
“Gowon filled his government with
Christians, Buhari/Idiagbon were Muslims,
Nigerians voted Muslims with Abiola,
maybe time has changed now,” he
stressed.
On the forthcoming APC presidential
primaries, Buhari said “if the processes
are done freely and fairly, I will accept the
result if I don’t win.”
Describing the Federal Government’s fight
against terror as “unsatisfactory,” he
added that the insecurity gripping the
nation was intolerable.
•8,000 APC delegates arrive in Lagos for
national convention
NO fewer than 8,000 delegates drawn
from across the country will gather in
Lagos, on Wednesday, to pick the All
Progressives Congress (APC) presidential
candidate for the 2015 election, with the
delegates expected to arrive on Tuesday
and commence immediate registration.
The exercise is billed for December 10 and
11, 2014 and will hold at Teslim Balogun
Stadium, Surulere.
The APC presidential aspirants are:
former head of state, Major-General
Muhammadu Buhari; former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar, Governor Rabiu
Musa Kwankwanso (Kano), Governor
Rochas Owelle Okorocha and the
publisher of Leadership newspapers, Mr
Nda-Isa.
National Publicity Secretary of the party,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, disclosed this in
Lagos, on Sunday, while addressing
newsmen.
He reiterated that the APC was poised to
bring the desired change to Nigeria from
the sorry state it was currently and to
enable her to take her rightful position in
the comity of nations.
He assured that the APC was committed
to ensuring this change by presenting for
election, credible and purpose-driven
candidates that would drive the change at
various levels of government.
Mohammed, who said that the party was
going for "a convention and not
coronation" to pick its presidential
candidate from among the five that lined
up for the race, enjoined Nigerians to join
hands in realising the desired change.
This is just as he said the party's
national convention was brought to Lagos
after careful and thorough consideration
by the convention committee headed by
former Governor Kayode Fayemi.
According to him, Lagos was finally
picked from among others, including
Kano, Benin, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Jos,
because it was favoured in terms of
accessibility, accommodation for no fewer
than 8,000 delegates and finally, security.
Text of the statement reads: "As you are
all aware, our dear country is in a dire
need of change. The All Progressives
Congress (APC) is determined to bring
that change. The process of effecting that
change has commenced with the effective
mobilisation of Nigerians to demand the
change in the 2015 general election.
"The APC as a party that is committed to
seeing Nigeria leave its present sorry
state and take its rightful position in the
comity of nations, is set to ensure this
change by presenting for election, credible
and purpose-driven candidates that would
drive the change at various levels of
government.
"The party’s congresses and election of
candidates for the various positions that
commenced earlier in the month will
climax in the election of the APC
presidential standard- bearer in the
February 2015 presidential election.
"The national convention of the party is
scheduled to hold at the Teslim Balogun
Stadium, Surulere , Lagos between
December 10 and 11, 2014.
"No fewer than 8,000 delegates drawn
from the 36 states and the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) are expected to
participate in the convention and the
presidential primaries that would elect the
party’s standard-bearer out of the five
presidential aspirants of the party.
"The five aspirants of the party are
eminent citizens with proven credentials.
It is our belief that, at the exercise, one of
them would emerge the presidential
standard-bearer of our dear party in the
coming election.
"The aspirants include: a former head of
state, General Mohammadu Buhari; a
former Vice President of the country,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Governor of Kano
State; Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso;
Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha and Publisher of Leadership
Newspaper Group, Sam Nda-Isaiah.The
five aspirants would address the
delegates, stressing their programmes
before the commencement of voting,
which will be by secret ballot.
"Adequate arrangements have been made
by the National Convention Committee
(NCC), headed by former Governor of Ekiti
State, Dr Kayode Fayemi for a hitch-free
convention. The various sub-committees
are working round the clock to ensure
that the convention succeeds and become
a reference point in the political history of
the country.
"We are also collaborating with relevant
agencies to ensure effective security,
crowd control, traffic management,
medical attention among others.
"And for the millions of Nigerians who
may not be opportune to be at the venue
of the convention, arrangements have
been made for effective live coverage of
the entire process by some radio and TV
stations."

Education10 Incredible Plant Facts You Didn’t Know by hamzia(op): 9:05am On Dec 11, 2014
1. The earth has more than 80,000 species of edible plants.
If you’re ever in the mood to try something new, the good news is that there is certainly
food you haven’t tasted yet still growing somewhere in the world. You’ll probably have
some trouble finding it, however, because …

2. 90 percent of the foods humans eat come from just 30 plants.
Out of tens of thousands of plants we could eat, mankind chooses to consume only about
30 of them. It’s crazy to contemplate how limited our diets are compared to all of the
different foods we could be eating. If you think the selection of which plants we eat has
anything to do with their nutritional benefits, however, you’d be wrong …

3. Nutrition doesn’t factor into the crops we do mass produce.
The world’s largest farmers have pursued certain crops because they can grow a lot of
them more quickly, easily and inexpensively to turn a better profit. As a result, most of
the most healthful plants stay off of our dinner plates because they aren’t available at
grocery stores. Still, sustenance isn’t the only thing humans rely on plants for …

4. 70,000 plant species are utilized for medicine.
As it turns out, humans are more diversified in the plants we use for medicine.
Although a large portion of that figure applies to traditional medicine, modern
medicine is not excepted from plant help. Half of the drugs prescribed in the U.S. have
plant origins , many coming out of the rainforest, yet …

5. Only one percent of rainforest plants have been studied for medicinal potential.
Given how valuable plants can be medicinally, the rainforest houses a host of possible
cures for ailments new and old. This untapped resource could still hold the key to
medical breakthroughs. Of course, a lot of this potential could be lost considering …

6. 80 percent of the Earth’s original forests have been cleared or destroyed.
The same forests that dominated the land 8,000 years ago are all but gone.
Approximately four-fifths of the forests are gone thanks to human intervention—just
think of how many plant species may have been lost in that process. If you thought
protections were in place, actually …
7. Just 10 percent of the world’s plant-rich areas are protected.
Of the most biodiverse areas on the planet, only 10 percent are officially “protected” to
ensure the survival of a multitude of species—plant and animal alike. Worse still, many
of the supposedly protected areas are done so nominally only, leaving plants threatened
by external factors they should be safeguarded from. This is especially problematic
because …

8. More than half of plant species are native to just one country.
Chances are, a plant you find in one part of the world is not currently growing
anywhere else. As plant habitat is ruined, there’s little point in hoping that the killed
plants could be found and harvested somewhere else in the future. For this reason …

9. 68 percent of plants are in danger of going extinct.
While scientists have only examined a fraction of the existing known plant species, of
those that have been studied, 68 percent face extinction in the not too distant future.
Since plants can’t just up and move as their habitat is being destroyed, they are even
more vulnerable than endangered animals. It’s happening quickly, too, since …

10. Plant species are going extinct—about 5,000 times faster than they should.
Some will argue that species would go extinct even without human interference. While
that’s certainly true, it’s the rate that plants are dying off that raises alarm. Thanks to
climate change , deforestation and other human-influence factors, experts believe that
species are going extinct somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 times faster than they
would naturally.
