Some traditions are really strange. This is a good example of a culture shock that can make many people have goose pimples on their body with their hairs on the skin standing at attention.

At a funeral in Ghana, a dead man was seen being carried on the shoulders at his funeral while the crowd sang and clapped.

What do you think about this type of culture/tradition in Africa?

Whatever you do on Earth, just know that one day, the houses you live in will be occupied by other people who will not even know you. Nobody alive now as an adult will be alive in 100 years time. So make anybody nor form immortal for the next man. Because that car, house, job, wife, etc of yours, you will part with whether you like it or not.

You dey relate abi?

Back then, romance was a different thing entirely (90s to early 2000s). After this era, things changed drastically in our social life. Then, relationship was characterized by style and doings. Today, everything centres around money, sex and material things. Females of this generation want money while the males want sex. These are now the two pillars on which almost every relationship stands on.

Na these songs we take dey do romance that year. Don't forget that modern Nigerian pop music was not around then, in case you were born in the decade after 1999.

Big thanks to her mother that instill the rightful fear to bring the werey inside him

Most great men of the world seemed like the opposite of what they later became. Adolf Hitler was idle and confused about life even in his late 20s.

Jack Johnson became Heavyweight Champion on 26 December, 1908.

Johnson was born on March 31, 1878, the third child of nine born to Henry and Tina Johnson, former slaves who worked service jobs as a janitor and a dishwasher. His father had served as a civilian teamster of the Union's 38th Colored Infantry. He was described by his son as the "most perfect physical specimen that he had ever seen", although Henry had been left with an atrophied right leg from his service in the American Civil War.

Growing up in Galveston, Texas, Johnson attended five years of school. As a young man, Johnson was frail, though, like all of his siblings, he was expected to work.

Although Johnson grew up in the South, he said that segregation was not an issue in the somewhat secluded city of Galveston, as everyone living in the 12th Ward was poor and went through the same struggles. Johnson remembers growing up with a "gang" of white boys, in which he never felt victimized or excluded. Remembering his childhood, Johnson said: "As I grew up, the white boys were my friends and my pals. I ate with them, played with them and slept at their homes. Their mothers gave me cookies, and I ate at their tables. No one ever taught me that white men were superior to me."

Jack Johnson's mother, Tina was a huge influence in Jack's life. When Jack was younger, he was known as a coward and his sister, Lucy would protect him. After Jack came home bruised and crying, his mom warned him that if he were to get beaten at school, then she would whip him worse at home. Her method was to scare him and for him to learn the lesson that he needed to protect himself. The lesson was received by Jack, as he never lost a fight to a schoolboy again.

After Johnson quit school, he began a job working at the local docks. He made several other attempts at working other jobs around town until one day he made his way to Dallas, finding work at the race track exercising horses. Jack stuck with this job until he found a new apprenticeship with a carriage painter by the name of Walter Lewis. Lewis enjoyed watching friends spar, and Johnson began to learn how to box. Johnson later declared that it was thanks to Lewis that he became a boxer.

At 16, Johnson moved to New York City and found living arrangements with Barbados Joe Walcott, a welterweight fighter from the West Indies. Johnson again found work exercising horses for the local stable, until he was fired for exhausting a horse. On his return to Galveston, he was hired as a janitor at a gym owned by German-born heavyweight fighter Herman Bernau. Johnson eventually saved enough money to buy boxing gloves, sparring every chance he got.

At one point, Johnson was arrested for brawling with a man named Davie Pearson, a "grown and toughened" man who accused Johnson of turning him in to the police over a game of craps. When both of them were released from jail, they met at the docks, and Johnson beat Pearson before a large crowd. Johnson then fought in a summer boxing league against a man named John "Must Have It" Lee. Because prizefighting was illegal in Texas, the fight was broken up and moved to the beach, where Johnson won his first fight and a prize of one dollar and fifty cents.

aybabz101:
In all sincerity...though i detest snake meat, but i cant comprehend people eating monkeys, baboons and other similar primates...

those that eats monkeys can easily eat humans....

Tua for snake, monkey, dog, cat, and bat meats...


And i dey always pity those rabbits...i dont think I can eat them

Primates are like humans. You are right. Eating them is just like eating humans.

Those Indi developers who are anti development would soon be here to cry as usual. like the one above.

Una sef, but this is different from the title of the news.

I eat goat meat, mutton, pork, beef, etc

I can never imagine myself eating is any meat that comes from a reptile or a primate. I'd rather be a vegetarian than eat such.

What is your creepiest meat?

lonelygem:
Some of our utterances are a full blow on social justice and fundamental rights. injustice will continue to prevail in our societies till we upgrade our mentality on rights and psycho preferences, especially in our various primitive areas. When a corpse is carried and being morn by its relative and we'll wishers, majority of us are unmoved as its more or less as irrelevant as a mere object. But when it is someone of close acquaintance, we get devastated and even expect the entire community to stretch hands of condolence.

You may not see the as a serious issue because you are being myopic and ignorant of the fact that freedom of movement is everyone's fundamental right. Don't forget that same masquerade can afford to shut down people's businesses for a whole week in the name of culture if given the chance. Now you may have to educate us how this is not related to economical and social preference in the society.

Please tell us, we are opened to enlightenment.

I am very sure that you did not read my post properly because if you did, you would have known that I am even criticizing such cultural practices that infringe on the fundamental rights of others. Oga, please read again and digest. I don't know why you are criticizing me while both of us are standing on the same ground.
