If you are a Nigerian who lives in the country, then you would understand that the society places some sort of responsibility on the men. We get to hear people say things like it is not easy to be a man and the sort.

This is because there is an unrealistic expectation the society has as to the way a man should behave and the things he ought to have at a particular period in time. as a matter of face, a Nigerian man’s life is planned out long before he starts to hustle.

If he hustles for too long without having a major break, there is problem. If he does not hustle at all, he is not a man. If he resides to fate, then he is lazy and when a richer man snatches his wife from him, he is considered unfortunate. What then is expected of a man in Nigeria and how best is he supposed to live his life when the public is sentimental about his life style and what he chooses to do at a particular time.


4. Attending a reunion while being broke is not allowed

If you are a man in Nigeria who is jobless, life could become frustrating. You lose the right to air your opinion because you are tagged a recluse as a result of your joblessness.

Hanging out with your friends will be impossible because you would no longer be considered a part of them. Your license as a man is being revoked until you have what it takes to measure up to the other men in the society.

3. You must provide for your family

When he is bereaved, he is expected to hold himself and comport himself. He is not allowed to give in to emotions because it would portray him as being weak. What exactly is he, a robot?

Many people believe it is an abomination for a man to cry and being a man in Nigeria means you have to be strong always even when you are dying within.

2. You are less of a man when you are jobless

If you are a Nigerian who lives in the country, then you would understand that the society places some sort of responsibility on the men. We get to hear people say things like it is not easy to be a man and the sort.

Shave


It happens pretty much every day: We get up, face the mirror, reach for our shaving tools, and commence with a major requirement of our daily routine. By now, we all know shaving as that robotic, mundane task thrust upon us by a civilized world. We have been doing it since we were teens.

Blush


Turns out, the cheek-reddening reaction is a universal human response to social attention. Everyone does it, some more than others. Common blushing triggers include meeting someone important, receiving a compliment and experiencing a strong emotion in a social situation.

Ogling


No doubt one of the most bizarre things we do in our daily life; Ogling is referred to stare at in a lecherous manner. Most of people you will see in daily routine ogling at opposite sex. And yeah here is a good news for girl watchers. Ogling over women’s breast is good for man health and can add years to his life, medical experts said that. But to be honest most of the time you will feel embarrassment if you get caught.

Laughing


The punchline of a joke hits you, and with it comes a funny feeling: You’re suddenly overcome by the urge to yell out spastically , over and over. Laughing is weird. Why do we do it? Psychologists think this behavioral response serves as a signal to others by spreading positive emotions , decreasing stress and contributing to group cohesion. For those same reasons, chimps and orangutans smile and laugh during social play too.

Farting


Farting, we do or may not but most commonly in daily routeen. The answer may stink, but everything we eat or drink gives us gas. In fact, it’s normal to fart up to half a gallon or about 15 to 20 toots worth of gas each day.

Hiccup


Weirdly, though, hiccups are as useless as they are annoying; they serve no apparent purpose. Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm, the muscular membrane in your chest that figures importantly in breathing. A spell of them ensues when that muscle gets irritated, often by the presence of too much food in the stomach, or too little.

Day Sleep


It is said that we spend one third of our life in sleeping. No body can live without sleeping . Sleeping maintain your body functions properly. Our brain get a complete refresh with good sleep. People who are working hard in office often get sleep during work in a bizarre way. Most of the time it become a fun part for people around you.

Yawning


Yawning is mostly considered with tiredness,stress,overwork or boredom. But recent studies shows that it may be linked to the cooling of brain.In human yawning trigger by other yawning. Another speculated reason of the yawning is to desire to stretch muscles. Whatever the reason will be continuously yawning really irritates people around you.

Zone Out


No matter how hard we might try to stay focused on an everyday task such as brushing our teeth or queuing for coffee, we simply can’t stop our minds from wandering. We find it very easy to zone out. We unaware of our surroundings and time. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we are hungry and that we should get something to eat.

Take Risks


Dangerous activities can make us feel more alive. Taking risks is part of life. It is most definitely part of growing up. In general, we think of risky behavior as encompassing activities only a handful of courageous, or crazy, people would attempt, including skydiving, rock climbing, cliff jumping, or other dramatic exploits.

We all fan of doing the most bizarre thing. Sometimes in big ways. Often in small and daily ways to mix things up. This is also an easy and simple way to expand your comfort zone and to keep your curiousness up. The same goes for the rest of our traits. We take for granted that funny things make us yell out spastically also known as laughing and that we spend one-third of every day in a deathlike state of suspended animation known as sleep. But with a little contemplation, these behaviors seem truly bizarre.

Here are 10 Most Bizarre Things we do all the time, in our daily life.

1. Hugo Gernsback

Novel: Ralph 124c 41+ (1911)



This masterpiece was written into 12 different parts and compelled into one novel in 1925. It is one of the most influential science fiction stories with horribly accurate predictions. Some successful predictions from this novel include television (and channel surfing), remote-control power transmission, the video phone, transcontinental air service , solar energy in practical use, sound movies, synthetic milk and foods, artificial cloth, voice printing, tape recorders, and spaceflight. It also contains the first accurate description of radar complete with diagram.

2. H. G. Wells

Novel: The World Set Free (1913)



This man is believed to have brain of alien species. He is considered the father of science fiction for many reasons. Major reasons are his predictions and his thoughts about future that were incredibly accurate. Although many of his predictions are yet to become reality such as Invisible man, Time travel and Inter planetary warfare that he explained in different novels. Predictions that already have become reality are Nuclear weapons, Moon landing, genetic engineering, lasers and World War II. His best known prediction is found in the book “The world set free” in which he described the destruction made by incredibly powerful bombs that now known as Atomic bombs. It’s scary to know, how these people predicted things so well. Were they some kind of time traveler or something? Who knows?

3. C. Clarke

Novel: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)



This novel is absolute masterpiece; it deals with space exploration right before humanity landed on the moon. It tells about the human evolution from apes and the evolution that we might undergo in future. But the best predictions of this novel was HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent computer that’s quite similar to today’s SIRI, and an electrical newspaper which resembles the same features of today’s iPads and tablets. C. Clarke is one of the top 10 authors who predicted future.

4. Jules Verne

Novel: From Earth to the Moon (1865)



The major prediction was obviously the landing on the moon. But other than that he tried to do some rough calculations too. Considering the lack of any kind of data on the subject at his time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality. The material he chose to make capsule to launch human in space was aluminium, which is common now a days but it was pretty rare at that time. The modern low cost process for producing aluminium was introduced 20 years after the book was written. He even accurately predicted the exact location of today’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida almost 100 years before.

5. William Gibson

Novel: Neuromancer (1984)



Williams Gibson – one of the authors who predicted future, was a future visionary. He predicted Internet that has now become reality, obviously. But he also predicted things like virtual reality that’s maybe the next big thing going to happen in this decade. We already have seen VR headsets that are going to revolutionize the entertainment industries. He even predicted Google glass in 1980s.

6. Martin Caidin

Novel: Cyborg (1972)



This book tells the story of Steve Austin, who experiences a crash during flight. Leaving him with destroyed limb, blind in one eye and other minor injuries. A secret branch of government working on bionics field shows interest in him and replaces his body parts with mechanical prosthetic parts that were more powerful than original ones. Now this concept has already become reality. People are even working on mechanical exoskeletons to enhance the human abilities that cannot be achieved by our organic body parts.

7. John Brunner

Novel: Stand On Zanzibar (1969)



He visualized the America of 2010 under the leadership of President Oboma. The world population reached to 7 billion and overpopulation has its own side effects. Major impact of enormous population is social stress, extremism and social division. He also revealed many futuristic concepts, products and services. He accurately predicted the major innovation of this time include Electric cars, direct TV and Laser printers. Brunner rightfully stands at number six in our list of top 10 authors who predicted future.

8. Douglas Adams

Novel: The hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979)



He perhaps predicted many things about galaxy which were not confirmed to be true when he wrote about it. One thing that he accurately predicted was a real-time translation between two different languages through a Babel fish. We might not have a fish to do that task but our Smartphone apps can do the same.

9. Jonathan Swift

Novel: Gulliver’s Travels (1726)



Swift is known for writing satires and his Gulliver’s Travels is among the most popular novels in literature. He is one of the several authors who predicted future. Unlike other writers in this list he was not a sci-fi lover. But he may have unintentionally predicted one thing in his book, where Gulliver was on the island on Laputa and astronomers saw that mars has two moons in its orbit. Nearly a century later his one minute description turns out to be true in real life.

10. Mary Shelley

Novel: Frankenstein (1818)



Frankenstein is now considered as horrifying science fiction story. But it was actually based on the science of its time. There was rage among people during 1800s who were experimenting with human organs. Even a controversial Italian scientist known as Galvani believed that life force is identical to electricity. Mary Shelly‘s book literally predicted things like organs transplant that became reality many years after the book. Her idea of passing current through a dead body to bring back to life was also pretty much accurate. That idea can still be found in today’s science, for example experiments with electrodes stimulating the spinal cord of paralyzed patients.

Science fiction writers undoubtedly have different kind of minds. They always try to think and write something that’s beyond imagination for an ordinary man. Predicting the future has always been a popular and favorite topic among them. Most of the writers were wrong but few of them were terribly accurate. They were so accurate that people sometimes called them modern day prophets. These are 10 authors who predicted future -
