FoodRe: Woman Buys Meat Pie In Onitsha, Finds Egg In It (Photos) by MrOjay1(m): 12:45pm On Mar 02, 2021
This was certainly bought from the road side.

The truth is that given the sorry state of the economy,you will not get your money's value for any pastry you buy for 50 naira or 100 naira.

If you really want to enjoy meatpie,fish roll and co,it's better you buy from fast food restaurant.

SportsNigeria To Feature In Kung Fu In 2022 Youth Olympic Games by MrOjay1(op): 12:10pm On Mar 02, 2021
By Dare Kuti

The President of Nigeria Wushu KungFu
Federation, Adekunle Adewunmi says the
nation’s athletes will feature at the 2022
Youth Olympic Games in Dakar.
Adewunmi told www.aclsports.com that
Wushu Kungfu has been upgraded to full
regular/compulsory sport by the Nigerian
Sports council since 2018.



He said, “We will be flying the National
colours in the next World Youth Olympic
games in Dakar. Our participation is high
and Wushu Kungfu has come up in the
limelight of global world sports.
“We did not need to convince the Ministry
of Sports to include Wushu Kungfu on the
medal table at the next National sports
festival in Edo. Wushu Kungfu has since
2018 been upgraded to full regular/
compulsory sport by the Nigerian Sports
council”.



He further said, “As at 2017 when our
board took over, Wushu Kungfu was still
an optional sport in Nigeria. Today to the
glory of God Almighty, Wushu Kungfu has
been elevated to full regular/ compulsory
sport. This can be attributed to the efforts
of board fulfilling all the requirements
needed by the Sports ministry”.
Adewunmi said that his team trained the
full Nigeria team who represented the
country for the first time to the African
Youth sports competition 2019.
“We successfully trained and mobilised a
full Nigeria team for the 1st time to the
African Youth sports competition 2019.


We have conducted National course in
Bayelsa in collaboration with the Bayelsa
State Government 2018 and another one
in Lagos 2019 at the National training
centre. I also single handedly took our
athletes out to Senegal in 2019 for the 7th
edition of the African Wushu Kungfu
competition.


Commenting on the Fun Fair partnership
with the Federation, Adewunmi said, “First
of all, the partnership with Fun Centre in
Lekki Lagos is actually a two in one deal
that involves affordable and accessible
training base for the Federation and
indeed the Lagos state Kungfu association
and Nigerians as a whole. It’s obvious
there are no stadiums and even sports
centres prior that time on the Island of
Lagos.
“Secondly, the partnership deal is actually
a sponsorship from the host Fun Factory.
Thirdly the centre is to cater for camping
and training of members ensuring the
direct supervision of the Federation”.

Science/TechnologyAlbert Einstein's Eyes Are Currently Kept In A Safe In New York by MrOjay1(op):
Albert Einstein’s connections to New York
City are a bit more morbid than you might
expect: his eyes are stored in a safety
deposit box in the city.


Preserving the body parts of the famous is not uncommon and
New York City area has the honor of having Napoleon’s penis (in a basement in New Jersey) and George Washington’s tooth in
Fraunces Tavern.

The story of Albert Einstein’s remains begins shortly after his death in 1955 at Princeton Hospital, where an illegal autopsy
was performed by Thomas Harvey, the pathologist of the hospital.

Harvey then sought and received a “retroactive blessing,” from Einstein’s son, Hans Albert
according to the book Postcards from the Brain Museum by Brian Burrell,excerpted on NPR, with the agreement that any research done would be for scientific purposes.


Throughout his life, Einstein
actively avoided celebrity and idolatry using his fame only to help others (like freely signing letters knowing his signature
would be sold, says Izzy Kazdin, the executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton). As Burrell also writes, Einstein
had specific instructions for his remains:“cremate them, and scatter the ashes secretly in order to discourage idolaters.”


Albert Einstein’s House at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, where he lived starting in 1935 Clearly the opposite has happened.

Harvey preserved Einstein’s brain (dividing it
somewhere between 170 and over 200
parts), while also removing his eyeballs,
which he gifted to Einstein’s eye
doctor, Henry Abrams. Einstein had been his
patient since 1939, upon the request of a
neighbor in Princeton. The two would
become confidants and activists together,
spending time in conversation in Einstein’s
house on Mercer Street and fundraising on
behalf of Israel Bonds and the United
Jewish Appeal.
Einstein’s brain spent time in a University of
Pennsylvania lab, in jars in Harvey’s
basement, and when Harvey moved to the
Midwest, “in a cider box stashed under a
beer cooler,” reports ABC News. He moved
around six more times, taking the brain
pieces with him, even after he lost his
medical license. At some point, he befriends
William S. Burroughs who would brag that
he had access to Einstein’s brain.
Proper scientific research was never done,
though Harvey often claimed it was taking
place, and Harvey at one point tried to gift it
Einstein’s granddaughter on an epic cross
country journey with a journalist but she
declined it.


In the end, he returned what he
had back to the Princeton hospital where
he performed the autopsy. In 1985, four
pieces were used in a study published
in the journal Experimental Neurology.



Another study was done in 1996, published
in Neuroscience Letters. Two pieces of the
brain ended up on display in London in
2012.




Einstein’s eyeballs have had a less
globetrotting route. It went from Harvey’s
hands, to Abrams and into the safe deposit
box, where it said to remain today though,
Burrell writes, are “frequently rumored to
be poised for the auction block.” Abrams
has countered the rumor however,
telling the Sun Sentinel in 1994, “Albert
Einstein was a very important part of my life
– a lasting influence. Having his eyes means
the professor’s life has not ended. A part of
him is still with me.“ Abrams died in
2009 at the age of 97.
