cr8v: When someone mentions the term “world’s deadliest animal” you probably start thinking of sharks, tigers, crocodiles and other fierce creatures. Well, it may shock you to learn that it’s actually mosquitoes. Why? Well, it’s down to the harmful diseases that they are known to spread. Today the 20th of August is the Worlds Mosquito day. The Day was established in 1897 when the link between mosquitoes and malaria transmission was discovered by Sir Ronald Ross. The intent was to raise awareness about malaria and how it can be prevented as well as raise money to help find a cure.
There are so many interesting facts about mosquitoes that many of us dont know about. Here are 5 of them
1. Only female mosquitoes bite � This may surprise you and most people probably assume all mosquitoes bite, but no it is only the females that like to use us as a tasty snack.
2. Mosquitoes are the world’s deadliest animals � When someone mentions the term “world’s deadliest animal” you probably start thinking of sharks, tigers, crocodiles and other fierce creatures. Well, it may shock you to learn that it’s actually mosquitoes. Why? Well, it’s down to the harmful diseases that they are known to spread. Mosquitoes cause more deaths than snakes, tigers, spiders, sharks and any other animal combined. A single malarial mosquito can infect more than 100 people, and according to WHO one African child dies every minute from malaria.
3. Mosquitoes love CO2 � To be honest they have a bit of an addiction to it. Carbon dioxide is one of the main ways in which mosquitoes locate their next feast. They use a special organ called a maxillary palp to follow the smell of CO2 released from our breath. So they tend to buzz around our ears due to the carbon dioxide exhaled from our nose and mouth
4. It is their spit that is itchy Most people have a natural immune response to the saliva mosquitoes use as an anticoagulant. This results in the release of histamines and the annoying itch
5. Mosquitoes are attracted more to women than men Mosquitoes are attracted to women and especially pregnant women.. In a Lancet Study in 2000, scientists compared pregnant women with their non-pregnant counterparts and found that pregnant women attracted twice as many mosquitoes.

SlayerOfSatanst: So I met this girl in an eatry and we got so close.We are actually into each other and we got along.We exchanged contact and I asked if she had a boyfriend but she said no.She further told me that it was her ex that is all over her but that she does not like him again.
Two days later I asked her out.While we were drinking in a bar, a guy emerged from nowhere and stood in our presence.Her body language changed.She was filled with guilt.Knowing what women are, I quickly asked "is this your guy?" she noded in the affairmative.I told him that I just met her here drinking so I was trying to get to know who she was.He was not satisfied with what I said and they both left leaving me wondering how could women be this cunning and manipulative?
With that experience,I Victor Divine Jalingo will never trust any woman again.
I just thank your god, if na me I for give you black eye first before u even open ur mouth to say anything.

marlow1962: I hardly go to church, not because am not a Christian, just that majority of the churches we have now are no longer the house of God. Take winners chapel for an example, immoral dressing all in the name of God doesn’t care about your dressing but your soul( what a stupid idea) Ladies dressing half naked in church(wft) They don’t preach sometin meaning, all they preach about is money money money. I just pay my tithes and do my offerings and am out, any other money agenda am not a partaker of that. I rather give my money to the needy than to a Nigerian fake ass pastor. A pastor that wears designers and flies private jet( give am a break, wtf) I don’t pity them, I pity the gullible members.
Vevejoy: Dear nairalanders, I'm here with another marriage wahala and need your candid opinion. I'll appreciate mature advice and ignore trolls/insults. Thanks in advance
So my hubby and I have been married for 8years with 2 kids. The first 5years of our marriage was a bliss but the last 3years have been a rollercoaster of emotions. From arguments, insults, accusations... etc from both parties. The worst of them all was hubby accusing me of attempting to "charm" him. Before God and man I wouldn't be here writing this if I had ever attempted such. He did not only accuse me of that, he said my mom and I tried it and I brought a charm to the house (SMH). I asked where the charm is and he said it was removed spiritually by soothsayers. NB: he consults native Dr's like his life is dependent on them. We live abroad and have been here for years yet he consults and communicate with different native Dr's more than the people in Africa. I'm not judging him here, I'm just pained because he dragged my name and mom's into it. Well this aside
So we had a fight over bringing a parent over to help us with childcare. I wanted my mom to come and he wanted his to come so we ended up not bringing anyone. We only had 1child then. Now that we have 2, we literally can't afford childcare for both kids who are not yet in school and we are both full time students at the moment. So to avoid issues, I told him that we should bring his mom. I personally did the application and paid for her medicals out of my pocket. I didn't want the fight of who's coming to begin again so I just said let's file in for your mom and he obliged and I did the application and now we are waiting.
I'm currently on maternity leave so I told him I'd like to travel to Africa for vacation to get a break from abroad. He was fine with it so we did all the arrangements. Our families live in Cameroon and we both grew up in Cameroon (Nigerians though). Given the insecurity in the English part of Cameroon, we rented a guest house in The French part so families can visit. I paid for everything (flight, guest house and even the allowance I brought to cameroon ��). He gave me no support which I am not very happy about but haven't voiced it out to him. So I informed my inlaws and my family that I was coming with the kids. Non of them have ever met our kids and it took us 5years to have these children so I'd think they'll all be excited to meet them. My parents and sisters family said they were coming to pick me up from the airport but not a single inlaw opted to come and pick me up. No problem! I've been here for 3weeks, called my parents inlaws as soon as I arrived and non of them have come to visit me. All my family members left and I'm here with my brother. Of course I can't be alone with the kids given the insecurity. So hubby called and said his parents will be coming next Tuesday and I should make arrangements for my brother to leave. The guest house is a 2bedroom (rooms upstairs) and 2 bathroom. My brother has been sleeping in the living room since he came and my inlaws are coming to spend 3 or 4days so I'll still need my brother around when they are gone. My dear nairalanders, must my brother go before my inlaws come? Can all of us not stay in the house? As soon as hubby said brother needs to go and I expressed my disagreement, he insulted the hell out of me and said he's been planning to deal with me and will teach me a lesson. He said "I don't know him, he's going to deal with me". He dropped the call and sent a couple of voice messages with insults and threats.He said non of his family members will come here and I can do whatever I like it's my business. His family takes instructions from him so I'll not be shocked if they don't come.On a normal day I'll reciprocate but I held my self and did not reply to a single voicenote. I left him a message that we'll talk when he's calm. Since then he's not picking my calls. I stopped calling.
Put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you will do? Truth be told I've been tired of this marriage for the past 3yrs and came to Cameroon just to rest my head and be away from him. Yet I am still dealing with this.
my dear just ignore him too, like he never existed for some time
