That fateful day I managed to convince her 2 stay after school wf me to study. My guys w8d at the window outside the class room to watch. About 30 mins into our "studying" I began to say sweet words to her...n b4 we knew it, our lips met. I could see d frustration on my guys' faces cos I made sure she backed the window they were watching from while we kissed.

Nairaland / General / How A Simple Text Message Earned Undergraduate A Phd Scholarship by Rexian(m): 11:38am On Dec 09, 2015
An undergraduate of Geology,
University of Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Paul
Chidozie,26, last Sunday, bagged a PhD
scholarship following a text message he sent
to the Leader, Enugu State House of
Assembly, Mr. Ikechukwu Ezugwu. In the last
three years, Ezugwu had marked his birthday
on November 24, with award of scholarships
to indigent students of various tertiary
institutions in the country.

It was like the Biblical lesson where Jesus
Christ treated 10 leprosy patients but only one
person went back to thank him. South East
Voice watched as tears of joy rolled down
freely on the House Leader’s chicks with
nostalgia, that out of 20 persons who
benefitted from the yearly scholarship scheme,
only Chiedozie deemed it fit to come back to
show appreciation and wish him many happy
returns on his birthday.
Ezugwu told South-East Voice that in the last
three years, he had marked his birthday by
reaching out to the less privileged.
“I decided to celebrate my birthday annually
by selecting two undergraduates from 10
wards in Udenu Local Government Area on
merit for the award of scholarships. This is
the third year into this scheme and I am bent
on expanding, so that more people would
benefit.
“Usually, November 24 is my birthday which I
have decided to be marking with giving of
awards. Out of the undergraduates that have
been receiving this, Chiedozie was the only
one who remembered to wish me well on my
birthday. I was so touched emotionally and
that singular gesture has earned him a full
scholarship to PhD level.
“Even if am not alive (God forbid) the
machinery to ensure that he studied to PhD
level has been put in place. My prayer is that
at some point in life, the beneficiaries will do
unto others, that which has been done unto
them. I urge them to prudently utilize the
funds to advance the course of their academic
pursuit. Shun vices that will detract them from
giving their career utmost attention.

The package
The 20 benefiting students received N50,000
each bringing the total amount to about N2
million doled out in this year’s scholarship
scheme alone.
Beneficiaries elated
Celestine Odo, from Obollo-Eke ward and a
student of the University of Nigeria Nsukka,
UNN, who was visibly elated prayed Almighty
God to expand and refill the pocket of the
House Leader even as he assured of prudent
deployment of funds. Also, Paul Chiedozie,
who was the major beneficiary revealed that
with the gesture from Hon Ezugwu,a jinx has
been broken in his family where none of the
members is, so far, a graduate.
“In my family, we do not have any graduate
both from my maternal side. Look at me now,
I am in third year in Geology Department and
already have scholarship to study to PhD
level. I want to assure my benefactor that I
will not disappoint him. I will not be
distracted in the campus.”

Nairaland / General / Weirdest Animals In Existence by Rexian(m): 11:20am On Dec 09, 2015
#Leafy seadragon Named after the dragons of Chinese mythology, Leafy seadragons (Phycodurus eques) resemble a piece of drifting seaweed as they float in the seaweed-filled water. The Leafy seadragon, with green, orange and gold hues along its body, is covered with leaf-like appendages, making it remarkably camouflaged. Only the fluttering of tiny fins or the moving of an independently swiveling eye, reveals its presence. Like the seahorse, the male seadragon carries as many as 150-200 eggs. After being deposited by the female, the eggs are carried in the honeycomb-shaped area (known as the brood patch) under the male's tail for approximately eight weeks. Seadragons have no teeth or stomach and feed exclusively on mysidopsis shrimp. Known as "Australian seahorses" in Australia, they are found in calm, cold water that is approximately 50-54° F (10-12° C). Leafy seadragons have been protected by the South Australian government since 1982. Sun Bear The Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of #Southeast Asia. The Sun Bear stands approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear family. It is often called the dog bear because of its small stature. It has a 2 in (5 cm) tail and on average weighs less than 145 lb (65 kg). Males tend to be slightly larger than females. Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name. #Komondor Dog Females are 27 inches (69cm) at the withers. Male Komondorok are a minimum of 28 inches at the withers, but many are over 30 inches tall, making this one of the larger common breeds of dog. The body is not overly coarse or heavy, however, and people unfamiliar with the breed are often surprised by how quick and agile the dogs are. Its long, thick, strikingly corded white coat (the heaviest amount of fur in the canine world) resembles dreadlocks or a mop. The puppy coat is soft and fluffy. However, the coat is wavy and tends to curl as the puppy matures. A fully mature coat is formed naturally from the soft undercoat and the coarser outer coat combining to form tassels, or cords. Some help is needed in separating the cords so the dog does not turn into one large matted mess. The length of the cords increases with time as the coat grows. Shedding is very minimal with this breed, contrary to what one might think (once cords are fully formed). The only substantial shedding occurs as a puppy before the dreadlocks fully form. The Komondor is born with only a white coat, unlike the similar- looking Puli, which is usually white, black or sometimes grayish. However, a working Komondor's coat may be discolored by the elements, and may appear off-white if not washed regularly. #Angora Rabbit The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft hair. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Ankara, Turkey, along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid 1700s, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 1900s. They are bred largely for their long wool, which may be removed by shearing or plucking (gently pulling loose wool). There are many individual breeds of Angora rabbits, four of which are ARBA recognized. Such breeds include, French, German, Giant, English, Satin, Chinese, Swiss, Finnish, to name a few. #Red Panda The Red Panda, Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat," from a Latinized form of the Greek, ailouros, "cat," and the participial form of the Latin fulgere, "to shine"wink is a mostly herbivorous mammal, slightly larger than a domestic cat (55 cm long). The Red Panda has semi- retractile claws and, like the Giant Panda, has a "false thumb" which is really an extension of the wrist bone. Thick fur on the soles of the feet offers protection from cold and hides scent glands. The Red Panda is native to the Himalayas in Nepal and southern China. The word panda is derived from Nepalese word "ponya" which means bamboo and plants eating animals in Nepal. #Sloth Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call these two families the Folivora suborder, while some call it Phyllophaga. Sloths are omnivores. They may eat insects, small lizards and carrion, but their diet consists mostly of buds, tender shoots, and leaves. Sloths have made extraordinary adaptations to an arboreal browsing lifestyle. Leaves, their main food source, provide very little energy or nutrition and do not digest easily: sloths have very large, specialized, slow-acting stomachs with multiple compartments in which symbiotic bacteria break down the tough leaves. As much as two-thirds of a well-fed sloth's body-weight consists of the contents of its stomach, and the digestive process can take as long as a month or more to complete. Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees Celsius or 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit), and still lower temperatures when resting. Sloths mainly live in Cecropia trees. #Emperor Tamarin The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the German emperor Wilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name. This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas. The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 24 to 26 cm, plus a 35 cm long tail. It weighs approximately 300 to 400 g. This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree- covered areas. It is a diurnal animal, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs. #White-faced Saki Monkey The White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia), also known as the Guianan Saki and the Golden- faced Saki, is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. This monkey mostly feed on fruits, but also nuts, seeds, and insects. #Tapir Tapirs are large browsing mammals, roughly pig-like in shape, with short, prehensile snouts. They inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, horses and rhinoceroses. #Hagfish Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most "disgusting" of all sea creatures. Hagfish are long, vermiform and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. However, the "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hagfish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same travelling-knot behavior. #Star-nosed Mole The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura. It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater. It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunnelling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams. Little is known about the social behavior of the species, but it is suspected that it is colonial. The Star-nosed Mole is covered in thick blackish brown water-repellent fur and has large scaled feet and a long thick tail, which appears to function as a fat storage reserve for the spring breeding season. Adults are 15 to 20 cm in length, weigh about 55 g, and have 44 teeth. The mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout. These are used to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans.
