Guys, i came across the story of this strange but amazing twins on Yahoo.com. What do u guys think? No One Believes These Girls Are Twins Photo by Worldwide Features/Barcroft Media/Landov A set of 18-year-old twins are making headlines this week because of just how different they look. Lucy Aylmer, with her pale skin, blue eyes, and red hair, looks white. Maria, who has darker skin and brown eyes and hair, looks black. Both girls are actually biracial, born to a white father and half-Jamaican mother in January 1997, they tell the Daily Mail. “No one ever believes we are twins,” Lucy says. “Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins. Friends have made us produce birth certificates to prove it.” STORY: Parents of Triplets Now Expecting Twins Lucy and Maria are two of five siblings, but they say their two brothers and one sister look more similar. “All our older brothers and sister have a skin color which is in between Maria and I,” Lucy says. “We are at opposite ends of the spectrum and they are all somewhere in between.” image Photo courtesy Worldwide Features/Barcroft Media/Landov Their grandmother, Lucy says, looks more like her. “[She] has a very fair English rose complexion, just like mine.” Neither Lucy or Maria responded to Yahoo Parenting’s request for comment. STORY: Twins Come Out To Dad In Tear-Jerker Phone Call The girls’ parents, who have since split up, were as surprised as anyone to see their daughters’ looks 18 years ago. “It was such a shock for her because things like skin color don’t show up on scans before birth,” Lucy says. “So she had no idea that we were so different. When the midwife handed us both to her she was just speechless.” image Photo courtesy Worldwide Features/Barcroft Media/Landov Dr. Nancy Segal, an expert on twins and author of Born Together - Reared Apart says that while the sisters are striking, their appearance make sense from a scientific standpoint. “Looks all depend on the way the genes are sorted,” she tells Yahoo Parenting. “A different set of genes were sent to each child. So they are perfectly normal fraternal twins, but the difference in looks is amazing.” Segal says she can’t determine the odds of a pair of twins having such contrasting looks, but confirms she has seen it before. “I think it would be great to study these cases, where you already have a control for family history and upbringing,” she says. “Because while these two girls are sisters, based on their looks they may have very different life experiences.” The sisters’ interests are just as varied as their appearances, according to the Daily Mail: Lucy is at school studying art and design while Maria is studying law. “Maria was outgoing whilst I was the shy one. But Maria loves telling people at college that she has a white twin – and I’m very proud of having a black twin.” And while they may have to convince people they are sisters, Lucy says there are some advantages to looking so different. “We were in the same class at infant school, but no one ever had a problem telling us apart,” she says. On the other hand, the two won’t be pulling a Parent Trap anytime soon. “Twins are known for swapping identities,” Lucy says. “But there was no way Maria and I could ever do anything like that.” https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/no-one-believes-these-biracial-twins-are-sisters-112610479632.html

Guys what do you make of this new stance and body language by Jega INEC concerning the upcoming national elections. Jega Refuses to Guarantee Elections Date, Says Service Chiefs Know Better Post by ThisDay 19 Feb 2015 222 Font size decrease font size increase font size INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega • APC House members reject motion to summon INEC boss The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, on Wednesday declined to make an assertive declaration that the 2015 general election scheduled for March 8 and April 11 won't be postponed again. The INEC boss, who appeared before the Senate to explain why the elections initially slated for February 14 and 28 were postponed as well as the level of preparedness of the commission for the use of card readers during the elections, said the security forces would be in a better position to answer the question on whether the elections would hold as re-scheduled or not. According to him, he could only give assurance on issues under his jurisdiction, submitting that the provision of security for the elections was not INEC’s responsibility and hence giving assurance to the public on issues that are not under his control was a futile effort. “Senator Akume asked if I can confirm the sanctity of the dates of the elections: March 28 and April 11. I think it is a very difficult question to answer. “I have said consistently that there are things under the control of an electoral commission and there are things that are not under the control of an electoral commission. “For the things that are under our control, we can give definite and categorical assurances. What is not under our control, it is futile, it is fruitless, it is useless to give a definite guarantee on them. So frankly, I think that question should be directed appropriately,” he said. This response was in contrast with the submission he made earlier when he answered a similar question. When he was asked if he would not succumb to further pressure from the military to postpone the elections a second time, Jega had told the Senate that there could be no further postponement because doing so would violate constitutional provisions. He also said that the military should not be portrayed as a body of unpatriotic Nigerians, who would unduly seek postponements even when it runs foul of constitutional provisions. “The questions of security, I will leave it. I don't think I am competent to answer it sufficiently but I must say that every Nigerian knows that we want elections to hold within the constitutional timeframe. “We should be fair also to the military. Soldiers are also patriotic Nigerians. Let us give them the benefit of the doubt. “I don't see how anybody will contemplate any extension beyond these six weeks. There is no constitutional grounds upon which you can do that. “It will only have to be unconstitutional. I don't see how anybody will contemplate any unconstitutional means. For us, we work by the constitution, by the law and as far as we are concerned, that is what is guiding us and we should all put the interest of the nation at heart,” he said. Jega also made a spirited defence against allegations that INEC had deliberately favoured a particular political party in the distribution of permanent voters’ cards (PVCs), notably in states such as Yobe, Borno and Adamawa that have suffered insurgent attacks. He said INEC should not be blamed if voters turned out to collect their PVCs in large numbers in some states, while the electorate in some other states failed to collect theirs. He reasoned that those states had a substantial level of collection because they promptly went to collect their cards while blaming states with low rates of collection on poor turn out by voters in such areas. “Why should anyone blame me for that? There is need for us to have clarity on this matter. In Yobe, only two local governments are under emergency rule and the state was among the second phase in the distribution of the PVCs. “In Yobe, along with about 11 other states, we distributed cards as far back as July 2014. “So if the rate of collection has gone very high, I don't see why that should be seen as a problem. The same thing in Adamawa, only four local government areas are inaccessible and we devised a system where cards could be distributed in IDP centres. “So as many as who had been displaced but who had registered have been able to collect their cards. But when you look at the way newspapers do their analysis, they tend to project it as if there is regional slant in the distribution of the cards. “When we designed the distribution of cards, we did it in such a manner that we took two states each from each geopolitical zone to distribute in phases and we did it in three phases just to avoid being accused of this regional slant in the distribution of PVCs. “It will be wrong to assume that Yobe or any other state has a higher rate of collection. If people came out to collect and other people did not why should we be blamed for that?” he queried. He insisted that although the postponement of the elections had been a blessing to the commission because it provided it with the opportunity to prepare better for the elections, he said the postponement was done in compliance with the message from the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), on behalf of the service chiefs, a seeking postponement of the elections. He also said INEC was prepared to deploy card readers for the conduct of the elections, saying their deployment was in compliance with provisions of both the 1999 Constitution as well as the Electoral Act. He also said no court would be able to stop their usage because the use of card readers does not violate any legal procedure. He disclosed further that the card readers will be used only for accreditation and not voting, explaining that the time of usage has been programmed between 8 am and 1 pm on election days. He noted that any voter who does not arrive within the timeframe would not be accredited. He also said where any CR does not work, it will be replaced and the overall voting time extended and where replacement is not possible within the timeframe, election in such a polling station will be rescheduled. While the card readers were manufactured in China, he said they had been tested in Texas, the United States, where their functionality and durability had been ascertained. According to him, 13 specific tests which dwelt on functionality, durability and versatility of the card readers were carried out and all were successful. He added: “We have done some few tests and the result we have is about 90 per cent successful. We feel comfortable that the card readers can be used and will add value to the electoral process. They cannot be perfect; they may not be able to read every finger and that is where we agree with political parties. “We bought 182,000 card readers. Some of them did not work, that is what we termed dead on arrival. “Of the total number of card readers that we ordered and configured, only 503 have failed to work. That is 0.03 percent of the total. The agreement is that if a card reader fails during accreditation, then we will try and repair it within the time of accreditation which is between 8 am and 1 pm. “If a card reader fails around 10 am, before 1 pm, we will see everything possible to replace it but if we are unable to do so, the time lost will be added to the accreditation period and extended.” After his explanation, the card readers were tested using some senators’ PVCs, and the lawmakers expressed satisfaction with their level of effectiveness. Jega subsequently assured the legislators that the commission would organise mock tests of the card readers in each of the six geo-political zones of the country to ascertain their functionality ahead of the elections. He also promised to orgainise additional training for ad hoc staff that will man the polling stations, especially those that will handle the card readers, adding that INEC’s electoral institute had already been mandated to handle the training with methodology and a budget provided for the purpose. Jega explained that stolen or cloned PVCs will be rejected by the card readers, adding that they will add value to the system because the readers will verify personal details of each voter, send short messages to the server on the information obtained and will also be useful for demographic studies after the election. Senate President, David Mark, after the presentation, expressed confidence in INEC’s ability to conduct credible elections, even as he encouraged the commission to always seek the Senate's assistance whenever it is necessary. Meanwhile, legislators of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives used their numerical strength to oppose a motion sponsored by their Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterparts on the need to invite Jega to appear before it to clarify the commission’s readiness to conduct the rescheduled election dates. The motion moved by the Deputy Majority Leader, Hon. Leo Ogor (PDP, Delta) urging the House to debate the need to invite INEC boss to brief it was rejected with a resounding nay mainly from members of the APC. Initially, Ogor had reminded his colleagues that as a lawmaking body, it was the House’s responsibility to invite INEC to intimate them on the commission’s level of preparedness before the elections. But the House Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) reasoned differently, suggesting that instead of inviting Jega, the nation’s service chiefs should be summoned to explain the role of the military in the postponement of election as reasons adduced by INEC for the shift in dates pointed directly at them. “Mr. Speaker, if what the INEC chairman said that the military actually asked him to postpone the election is anything to go by, then it becomes incumbent on this House to ask questions as to whether the military has any role in our electoral process. “So on the strength of that I would urge this House to invite the service chiefs to find out why they would demand the postponement and to tell us where the constitution empowered them to play a role in the electoral process,” Gbajabiamila said. His proposal was scheduled for debate today. http://www.naijanewsandevents.com/news_portal/newss/top-stories/item/1223-jega-refuses-to-guarantee-elections-date-says-service-chiefs-know-better.html |
I have so many, but, this one comes to mind immediately, "My sis was heating water and she wanted to check if it was hot enough, i just act brave boy go put my arm inside the water whiles the heater was still plugged to the socket, oboy! come see how electricity turned me to super conductor, the annoying aspect of it is that, my sis run leave alone for inside room sha". Anyway, that did not change me, i ended up being an engineer. ![]() |
fanysteve:ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] |
vinohh:So you believe that piece of shit. Have you checked the source and asked yourself why is this coming out now after election has been postponed. People will go to any length to discredit their political opponents. Do you think this really happened and the ruling government have not used it against the opposition all these while. Any some Nigerians are so gullible, that is why a fraudster is smock can tell them their mother is the cause of all their problems and they will believe and subject the poor woman to horrible abuse. |
jars9:Who is in POWER? Was the JET bought with GOVERNMENT MONIES. GOD!!! look at who is talking, who has hijack OUR COLLECTIVE WEALTH ALREADY? Guy, i thought you were smarter than that? This is a case of Charcoal calling saucepan BLACK. It is like SHIT telling unripe mango that it wants to smell when it gets ripe. HE WHOSE IN A GLASS HOUSE THROW NO STONE!!! words of ELDERS. |
Ozin:It's unfortunate how people think or argue their points. It is a fact that Nigeria will always be a preferred destination among the cluster of nations especially Africa nations. In West Africa, Nigeria alone makes up about 2/3 of the population, the market is there, and for every investor that is one of the major factor he/she considers. It is the main reason, our "leaders" should be very proactive and have foresight. Nigeria needs to put so many things in place, improve the infrastructure, social amenities and create conditions for good democratic governess. Do we have all these in place and the answer is "NO". This is the main reason why no person in position of power in this case "PRESIDENT" should have any reason to complain when he fails. Investors interest in Nigeria does not mean GEJ was excellent or even good, investors have been interested in Nigeria far before GEJ came to power and they will still be interested in Nigeria long after his left power. During the most difficult times of Nigeria, investors were still interested. Please people should not come on Nland and start celebrating as if Sapin or France has come out to praise GEJ. They only praised the potential Nigeria have and want to be part of it. What the investors tried to point out us and the world is that, they see and know what Nigeria can be/ do if it is blessed with GOOD LEADERSHIP devour of CORRUPTION and NEPOTISM. READ the article again please before you start praising GEJ. |
[quote author=Rikidony post=30444751][/quote]I seriously wish this is TRUE, but, the AIRPORT does not look NIGERIA. I may be mistaken, can someone tell me which Nigeria airport is that. And can we see actual pictures of the tanks being use by our military men. I'm SUSPICIOUS OOOOOO!!!!!! |
GreenWhiteGreen:And the foolish GOAT just showed its true self. A MUGGINS |
yhusiee:IMAGINE THAT!!!! and you will complain that Nigeria lack development, when her citizenry can not read or even lazy to read. God help NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
theshadyexpress:Its rather unfortunate people can be deliberately choose to be myopic. A party chose to present a woman as it governorship candidate after passed through due process and emerging as the preferred choice in a country where such things are very rare, and you decided to purposefully ignore such fate and rather chose to see it through that myopic partisan lens that has led Nigeria to no where. We should rather be seen encouraging such things but, not to always see everything from the partisan lens. If she want to be in the kitchen i believe she will not have put herself up for that position. By the way, who said she can't govern from the kitchen in case she wins. Kudos to her and brave women like her. |
fair14:You "THINK", just base on assumption not fact. You "THINK" Its so unfortunate that people can come online and make claims they neither have evidence about or can back with prove. People who play on the sentiment and emotions of others in order to achieve their own selfish aim. The last i check, muslims are nigerians and they have equal rights as christians in this country. Until Nigerians learn to think independently and act so we will remain in this current situation for ages to come. Credibility has no tribe and religious colour, if voting is only going to be tribe and religious base, then democracy is useless, worthless and dead. Campaigns and choice of credible person for any position should not be tribe or religious centered. Gentleman, it is better not to vote than to vote for a candidate just because he or she is of your religious or tribe line, so can you take your bigotry somewhere. This is 21st century Nigeria, wiser and smarter than before. We have not gotten there but, by Gods' grace we will get there one, if not us children. Once again take your BIGOTRY out of here enemies of NIGERIA. GOD bless NIGERIA GOD bless NIGERIANS and long live NIGERIA |
AlfaSeltzer:And i believe it is the same constitution that you defending that gave INEC the oversight power to conduct elections in the country. Gave them the power vet candidates. Furthermore, the same constitution as given you and i the right to seek redress in court when we have issues concerning any body. My guy, act a literate and stop making noise, and go to COURT. |
Why is this not on FP? Mod do the needed. |
babasanti:Some Nigerians still being fooled since 1638. In this 21st century you still believe all these stories about some fake agenda !!! He did not Islamise Nigeria when he was a military head of state, how is that possible in a democratic dispensation. WAKE UP MY GUY and don't be SO GULLIBLE!!!!! |
tonquendo4u:What is so DIFFICULT in going to COURT? |
KwoiZabo:My guy, i believe you understand the import of what the IBB said? Go to court if you believe you have a case. PERIOD and stop all these ranting online. Buhari truncating a democratically elected government has anything to do with the issue(s) under discussion. Spare us all these holier than thou attitudes. I never knew it is this difficult to go to court on an issue one believes his so right about as this. All these rant online will have been settle if you (as a responsible Nigerian as you want us to believe) had gone to court and pray the court to bar or prevent Buhari from contest. God will save Nigeria from its lurid enemies who marks as patriots. |
I rather pity gullible nierians who believe this PDP politicians and their lies |
blemon44:Can you back your accusation with evidence!!!! or you also just want to be seen talking. |

This dude just made me hate APC Now...
