A Nigerian With 6 Fingers by nNEOo(op): 8:13am On Mar 12, 2017
Forumites,greetings.

On my way back from the stadium this morning I saw this Nigerian man with 6fingers,
My jug partner drew my attention when she pointed covertly towards the man,instantly my interest was picked....

I decided to do a little "check" on it,
I found out the extra fingers were caused by birth deformity.(congenital malformation)


This condition is called hexadactyly.
hexadactyly literally means six digits.

"One of the major causes is inbreeding "

Happy Sunday

Not at all, even back in secondary school, during Yoruba language classes, the teacher made it known to us that this type of human being used to be rich if they work hard
