Culture / How A Promising Young Girl Became A Powerful Native Doctor by Jeniemax: 6:15pm On Aug 03, 2020
By: Anayo Nwosu

Exactly three years ago, I was on one of my usual trips to Nnewi, Anambra to check on my ailing mother and I needed to stop by a shop on Igwe Orizu road to buy some provisions.

I was attended to by a young beautiful girl, who was so courteous and customer-centric that I had to ask why she chose the salesgirl’s job instead looking for a better earning career.

The young girl told me that it was her father’s shop and that she had to help out since she could not get a job; that she just finished her youth service. I pitied her and dropped my call card asking her to send her CV to me so that I could help get her tested for employment in a bank. And she did. Her mom and dad later called to thank me for choosing to help their first daughter. And I did.


The young girl, Ebere who made a second class upper degree from a federal university proved her mettle by smashing the bank’s aptitude test at first attempt and was scheduled for oral interview. That was when I noticed she has a problem.

Candidate Ebere refused to appear for the her interview despite many opportunities created for her. Hours before her interview time, her phone would go off and she would never call back to apologize. The apologetic mother and the infuriated father were embarrassed. I forgot about her until

Nairaland / General / Do You Know There Is Culture Where Women Are Burnt Alive With Their Dead Husband by Jeniemax: 8:49pm On Jul 10, 2020


In various continents, cultures abound, each having spiritual and socio-economic implications. In many societies, these cultures have harmed the populace, leading to its ban.

In this article, We are going to talk about an ancient culture that has been practiced in India and tell you about other countries that adopted it, but first, let’s talk about what is SATI?


SATI also called Suttee, is a practice among Hindu communities where a recently widowed woman, either voluntarily or by force, immolates herself on her deceased husband’s pyre. The woman who immolates herself is, hence, called a Sati which is also interpreted as a ‘chaste woman’ or a ‘good and devoted wife’.

What is the purpose of Sati?

According to ancient Hindu customs, sati symbolised closure to a marriage. It is a voluntary act in and a sign of being a dutiful wife. A woman willingly follows her husband to the afterlife. It was, therefore, considered to be the greatest form of devotion of a wife towards her d**d husband.

Sati or suttee is an ancient Indian practice in which a widow gets herself burnt to ashes during her late husband’s funeral pyre.

became forcefully practised between the 15th and 18th century. Interestingly, unlike the families of the Kshatriya, the women of the Brahmin caste were excluded from this practice because the Brahmins believed that because they belonged to this caste (also regarded as a high caste), their caste allowed them naturally attain purity hence there was no need to perform Sati.

While Sati spread to Russia, Fiji and Vietnam, some historians claim that this practice might not have been indigenous to India but brought to them from some other cultures like Scythian invaders earlier in their history.

If the man had several wives, only one of the wives, his preferred was granted the privilege of being immolated with him. The wife who performed this was also envied by the others and her family was treated with respect.

Widows who refused to die with their deceased were pressured into

Nairaland / General / Meet The Black And White Twins by Jeniemax: 7:41pm On Jul 10, 2020
Would you believe if you were told that the two ladies in the picture below are not only blood sisters but TWINS SISTERS!



Meet Maria and Lucy, the biracial twins born in the UK who have often been mistaken for friends instead of sisters because one was born black and the other was born white!!

The white girl has straight ginger hair with deep blue eyes while the other is black with brown eyes.

The girls were born with radically different colours because of their mixed-race parents, their dad is white while their mother is half Jamaican black.

Lucy and Maria Alymer were born in January of 1997 and today, they are both 23 years old as the mother was astonished when she saw her girls when they were born 23 years ago.

https://www.anaedoonline.com/2020/04/20/chimera-do-you-know-that-a-baby-can-have-two-biological-fathers/

They've grown accustomed to being mistaken for friends and often go through so much hassle to explain themselves.


“No one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black,” Lucy explained. “Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins.” As even friends make them prove birth certificates.

The girl's mother did a double-take, of course, and was speechless when the midwife handed over her kids.

It must have been such a shock to the mother because obviously, things like skin colour don’t show up on scans before birth.

And not only that, even the girls’ personalities are nearly as different as their looks.
“Most twins look like two peas in a pod — but Maria and

Nairaland / General / Do You Know Why Pirates Use Eye Patch To Cover One Eye? by Jeniemax: 10:25am On Jul 10, 2020
In movies, we usually see pirates wearing eye patches. What usually comes to our mind is that probably they have lost one eye either due to fighting or any other reason.

Or even a style statement peculiar to pirates, probably a fashion or something.

The eye patch, that pirates used to wear, was not a style statement or a cover for a missing eye. But no. It was none of them.

So, what do you think it is?

It was a clever trick of some of the very intelligent pirates.

A recent study says that the human eye adapts to light within seconds when coming out from the dark. But it takes almost 25 minutes to become used to the dark if you're coming in from bright light.

An example of this is when electricity is being cut off suddenly at night, at first, you wouldn't be able to see anything, everywhere looks dark but as time goes on you will be able to see some objects around you.

But when you are in the dark and electricity is suddenly restored, your eyes adjust to it immediately.

Nairaland / General / Man Stunned After DNA Test Reveals One Of His Twin Is Not His by Jeniemax: 10:03am On Jul 10, 2020
A Chinese man is left stunned after finding out that his twin babies have two fathers.

The parent, who remains unidentified, made the shocking discovery after taking the newborns to undergo a DNA test as part of the standard procedure to register their births in China, a DNA analyst told reporters.

The man was astounded upon receiving the test results which indicated that his wife also had sex with someone other than him, Chinese media report.

Deng Yajun, the practitioner who produced the paternity report, said that the chance for such a case to happen is one in 10 million.

‘First, the mother needs to produce two eggs instead of one in the same month [to have twins],’ Ms. Deng, who is also the director of Beijing Zhongzheng Forensic Identification Centre, explained to China News Weekly.
‘Second, she needs to have intercourse with two men in a really short space of time to make it possible.

‘The results showed that the children have the same mother but not the same father. They have at least two fathers,’ Ms. Deng suggested.

Twins being born with different fathers is an extremely rare occurrence known as heteropaternal superfecundation.

Women usually have to have sex with two different men within a day before or after ovulation for both eggs to be fertilized.

Nairaland / General / Nnewi: Dead Man Reportedly Comes Back To Life(photos) by Jeniemax: 11:24am On Jul 09, 2020
A man identified as Mr. Emesim Chukwunonso from Ukpor in Nnewi-North LGA, reportedly came back to life a few hours after being confirmed d**d by a hospital.

Mr. Chukwnonso was alleged to have died after being involved in an accident where he was working.

Rev. Canon Chiadikaobi Emmanuel of Jesus Healing School, Nnewi, who disclosed this through his official Facebook Page revealed that Mr. Chukwunonso died two (2) times before he came back to life.

Part of the Facebook Post Reads;
A D**D MAN CAME BACK TO LIFE

Mr. Emesim Chukwunonso had a fatal accident where he was working. His cutting machine hit an iron in the wall and bounced back to cut his skull into his brain, from the head down to his cheek.

Having lost much blood, he died in the first hospital they admitted him. When confirmed d**d, his friends took him away from the hospital.

Meanwhile, he saw himself depart from his physical body to embark on a journey where he walked with thousands of people. All were moving towards a particular direction and yet nobody looked back or talked to each other. All one by one, passed through one gate.

The person before him passed through the huge gate, and it was his turn to enter when suddenly the gate banged close. And a loud voice commanded him, saying, “Go back.” Then he turned to go back only to regain his consciousness on earth. At that time his fingers moved and his friends became happy and drove the vehicle speedily to Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi.

In the emergency ward, the doctors discovered that the cut was deep. The skull was cut and blood and debris of the skull entered his brain. The result was that he lost his memory. He could not recognize his wife or where he was. The doctors recommended an operation which a 50-50 contract, his wife and twin signed. He could survive, die or permanently lose his right memory.

In the course of the surgery, which lasted for six hours, he left his body again and saw himself in a desert region where thick darkness covered. He knew it was his last battle for life but the darkness was so much for him.

Nairaland / General / Meet Josephine Myrtle Corbin, The Four-legged Girl by Jeniemax: 10:22am On Jul 01, 2020
Josephine Myrtle Corbin was born on May 12, 1868, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, with a rare fetal anomaly known as dipygus. Her body was perfectly formed from her head down to her navel, below which it divided into two pelvises, and four lower limbs.

Myrtle Corbin was also born with two sets of internal and external reproductive anatomies.

Her birth was not marked by anything out of the ordinary, and her mother claimed to have had typical labor and delivery, apart from the baby being momentarily in the breech position.

Overall, Myrtle Corbin was a perfectly healthy, active, and thriving baby girl. All in spite of having four legs.

After being born with four legs, two normal-sized ones on either side of a pair of diminutive ones, the doctor who delivered Myrtle Corbin felt it necessary to point out the factors they felt could have resulted in her deformity.

First, the baby’s parents, the doctors said, were about 10 years apart in age. William H. Corbin was 25, and his wife Nancy was 34.


Second, the doctors noted that the couple bore a striking resemblance to each other. Both of them were redheads, with blue eyes and very fair complexions. They actually looked so similar that the doctors felt it necessary to explicitly point out that the two were not “blood kin” in their medical reports.

It seemed that the young girl was simply an oddity – her parents had had seven other children, all of whom were perfectly ordinary.

Medical reports of the time stated that between each pair of legs, there is a complete, distinct set of genital organs, both external and internal, each supported by a pubic arch. Each set acts independently of the other, except at the menstrual period. There are apparently two sets of bowels and two anis; both are perfectly independent,– diarrhea may be present on one side, constipation on the other.

Myrtle joined Barnum Circus at the age of 13. When she appeared on stage, nothing gave away her unusual condition: apart from the particularly large hips and a clubbed right foot, Myrtle was an attractive girl and had an altogether normal figure. But when she lifted her gown, the public was left breathless.

Throughout her time as a sideshow attraction, she became wildly popular. Eventually, rather than bringing the curious onlookers to her, she began traveling. By visiting small towns and cities and performing for the public, she ended up earning up to $450 a week.

Eventually, famed showman P.T. Barnum heard about her and hired her for his show.

For four years, she continued to work for Barnum and even inspired several other showmen to produce fake four-legged humans for their own shows when they couldn’t get her.

She married James Clinton Bicknell when she was 19 years old.

Nairaland / General / Meet The 5-year-old Who Became The Youngest Mother In History by Jeniemax: 10:13am On Jul 01, 2020
Precocious puberty made it possible for 5-year-old Lina Medina of Peru to get pregnant and produce a bouncing baby boy. This scenario has remained a mystery, especially in medical history.

It was in April 1939, when Lina Medina’s mother took her to the hospital in Pisco, Peru, to see the renowned Dr. Gerardo Lozada for help. The poor woman noticed her daughter’s protruding belly, and as someone who lived in a remote village on the Andes, she looked worried.

She believed that evil spirits had taken possession of her young daughter’s body as the daughter’s stomach appeared to have some unusual growth. At once, Dr. Lozada assumed it must be a large abdominal tumor.

However, to ascertain his suspicions, the doctor then carried out a more careful evaluation of the five-year-old. To his amazement, he could hear a heartbeat. The child was carrying a child. Unbelievable!

For further perusal and findings, Dr. Lozada took the little girl to Peru’s capital, Lima, to see other expert doctors. The test reports came back positive. The young child was seven months gone into the pregnancy!!!

Then, on May 14, 1939, at the age of five years, seven months, and three weeks old, Lina Medina became the youngest mother in world history to delivered a baby. A healthy boy who weighed 2.7 kilograms. It was a new miracle in the history of medicine.

The baby was born through a cesarean section because her pelvis was immature to support the natural birth of the child. Everything went well as the mother, and the baby was in perfect condition.




The baby boy was named Gerardo, after Dr. Gerardo Lozada. The physician who handled her unusual case.

Soon, Lina became a national sensation, and subsequent medical examinations revealed that she had a rare condition known as precocious puberty. A situation whereby a child experiences puberty at an unusually young age. This rare disorder occurs in 1 out of every 10,000 children. Her ovaries were fully developed.

Health / Do You Know There's An Animal That Lives On Your Eyelashes? by Jeniemax: 9:58am On Jul 01, 2020
You know how every time one of your eyelashes came off as a kid you would blow it off of your finger and make a wish? Well, little did you know, a couple of creatures were likely living on that eyelash.

These creatures are called Demodex.

Demodex is an eight-legged mite from the Demodicidae family. The Demodex is a species of tiny mites that live on your eyelashes. They crawl around your face, eating up all of the oily secretions. They don't excrete onto your face, but they do eat until they quite literally blow themselves up all over your face. Almost every animal on the planet is host to the Demodex, so most likely, you aren’t exempt.

There are many species of Demodex but only two species live on humans: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Different species of animals host different species of Demodex for example, Demodex canis lives on the domestic dog. About 65 species of Demodex are known.

Science/Technology / The Evolution In The Last Decade And A Projection Of The Next Decade by Jeniemax: 1:56pm On Jun 30, 2020
Like it or not, the 21st century is on a fast lane, things are moving rapidly, every day, technological and economic advancements are invented. Between 2010 to 2020, there has been a plethora of ideas birth into concepts and turned into living things among us.

Whatsapp for instance was founded in 2009, with full operation in 2010 fazing off 2go. Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram became popular in the last decade. These applications have become a huge part of our everyday lives.
We also experienced an evolution in the banking sector by way of Fintech wherefore from the comfort of your house, you can literally do any financial transaction without needing a banking hall. How did 10 years make such a huge difference- Innovation.

The language of the 21st century is “innovate or die,” you cannot afford to be stagnant, however, it is pertinent to note that, while the world is evolving, Nigeria has remained stagnant and by some financial statistics- depreciated and the reason is not far-fetched. (keep reading).

In 2010 when the decade started, we lost a 58-year-old president and replaced him with a 52-year-old who was in office till he was 57. Goodluck Jonathan might have been a good man but he didn’t understand the language of the century, his government did not witness any evolution, nothing new, same old road and insecurity conversations, neither did most persons he put in power see trending opportunities.

Culture / The Sibling Responsible For Financing The Funeral Of A D**d Parents In Igbo Land by Jeniemax: 6:28am On Jun 30, 2020
In most pre-colonial Igbo hinterland, the responsibility of funding the funeral of a father lies squarely on his first son. Other sons, daughters, and inlaws only lend a helping hand. This was the case if the deceased had not shared his estate before he died; a situation that would warrant the first son to do the sharing at a time of his choosing after the funeral of his dad. Just like our president has been sharing political positions, whatever measurement the first son applies in sharing is not appealable.

But if the first son has no capacity to finance the funeral of his father, any of the sons who can, are encouraged to foot the bill.

In Nnewi, we say “onye ji ego wepụta kwaa nna na ọ bụghị dị ọkpara gburu ya” meaning “let any son who is capable, finance the father’s funeral since the first son didn’t k**l his father”.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has said its Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never condemned Christianity but only attacked those they called fake pastors and men of God in Nigeria who refused to boldly speak up against the incessant and state sponsored killings and slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria.

According to IPOB, “Kanu’s condemnation was for religious leaders who deliberately kept quiet while Christians are killed in Nigeria, saying that does not amount to condemnation of Christianity, disrespect to Islam or any other religious body.

“He only condemned the evil of extermination of a particular religious group through state sponsored terrorism.

“Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his life, never condemned Christianity because he was raised in a Christian home by Christian parents and will never

Nigeria Football Federation, club owners and other stakeholders convened to decide on how best to end the ongoing season, which was put on hold due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement signed by the permanent secretary of the ministry of youths and sports, Mr Gabriel Aduda said following a visual meeting presided by the honourable.

'The minister had directed the NFF to come up with the best possible options to end the league, in the spirit of fair play and justice.

Minister on Monday, the ministry directed that an enlarged meeting of the stakeholders be convened to deliberate, agree and find a way forward and NFF should revert to the ministry. “Although the ministry was invited, it decided to exclude itself to enable the stakeholders thrash out the critical issues and revert to the ministry. The final decision on the league would be guided by the COVID-19 protocols and infrastructure.

The minister had taken a bold decision by advising the federal government to postpone the Edo National Sports Festival earlier scheduled for March 20-April 1 due to the pandemic.

Anaedoonline.com reported that the League Management Company (LMC) scheduled an expanded meeting between the leadership of NFF, LMC, and NPFL Clubs, June 24, 2020 by 1pm via video conferencing (Zoom Meeting ).
