Politics / Re: Don’t Let Anyone Distract You From Igbo Presidency 2023- Northerner Warns Igbos by shegzy08: 11:15am On Apr 06, 2018
Sctests:
It really pains some elements that Igbo lost faith in the zoo and are now more pro-Biafra than pro-presidency.

Other first world and civilzed countries who believe in Igbo leadership are already electing Igbo leaders to lead them in Poland, Italy, Germany, Australia etc. but because nigeria is cursed beyond redemption God will not let it taste the progess that an Igbo leadership will bring. God will keep cursing nigeria with fulani leadership till it oil dries up and it capitulates.

Infact there will be an Igbo prime minister of Britain but nigeria won't taste that blessing. Those of us who have left that shiithole and have studied things critically will tell you that the verdict is divine you cannot dangle the Igbo presidency in front of Igbos to make them forget their quest to actualize Biafra. That time has gone forever.

What has the leadership brought to the east

Igbos have shot themselves on the foot, they have more enemies than friends..the same country they call a zoo is what they want to rule? Isn't that hypocrisy..so many tribes have realised what they truly are when accepted some, they shove it on your throat and rub it on your face..most are tribal bigot and aligning with them can be political suicide..they haven't even gotten the presidency and they are ruining the country with their over inflated ego and inferiority complex...telling you they developed your region and how it won't survive without them forgetting the indigenes of where they reside had the foresight,policy and system all in place..though not all igbos are like this

Nairaland / General / World's Deadliest Snake - Africa's Black Mamba by shegzy08: 1:13pm On Mar 27, 2018
Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive.
The black mamba takes its name not from the colour of its scales, but from theinterior of its mouth, which is inky-black.
It is also the fastest moving snake in Africa, and one of the fastest moving snakes in the world, capable of moving upto 9.9 miles per hour (16 kilometers per hour).
It is the longest species of venomous snake in Africa, and the second-longest venomous snake in the world after the king cobra. They can grow upto 14 feet long (4.25 meters), though their average length is around 8 feet (2.4 m).
As little as 2 drops of its venom can kill a person and a mamba can have up to 20 drops of venom in its fangs.
This snake can lift two-thirds of it's body off the ground when striking.
The snake proteins — called mambalgins — were discovered as part of a search for alternatives to opiate drugs such as morphine. Many patients grow tolerant of opiates, requiring higher doses over time, and the opiate drugs often cause side effects such as nausea, constipation and drug dependency.

We do not see such side effects with mambalgins.

No snake in this world is as deadly, swift and potent as a Black Mamba...
Even the Indian cobra pales significantly in comparison to this snake, which is very elusive, fast moving, very aggressive and can easily be terrestrial or arboreal in nature.
This is an adaptable snake and can survive in a variety of places.

These fearsome snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row. A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults. The venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about 100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can deliver up to 400 mg.

This snake very rarely delivers a dry bite and its front facing fangs rarely miss the mark.

It injects venom into its victims every time it strikes, and boy does it strike like lightning..... everytime without fail.

If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 90% of cases. The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins. The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of muscle control) and ptosis - drooping eyelids which cannot be opened.

If the victim does not receive immediate medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity and paralysis. Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous snakes. Depending on the nature and site of the bite, death can result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.

PS: One interesting thing about black Mambas is that either their feces smell like curry powder or they give of that smell when stressed. One does get a strong whiff of curry powder if a black Mamba is present in an enclosed space like a store room etc.

Black mamba got its name "black" because of the black colour of the inside part of it's mouth

Black mamba travels at a speed of 12 miles/hour

“Jack Seale, a South African herpetologist who was bold enough to sleep in a room full of black mambas without any incidents made medical history.

One day Jack was putting a snake into a cage when his assistant bumped him. He was somewhat distracted which lead him to release the snake’s head ahead of time. A black mamba strikes so fast that before he knew it, he was bitten on the ankle. I am pretty sure Jack knew that he would die within minutes without proper treatment. He injected himself with antivenom and adrenaline to counter attack the toxins.

Jack had a theory in which he believed that since the black mamba’s venom attacks nerve function without damaging body tissue, he thought that life support could keep a person alive until the body worked to flush the toxins out. A doctor who heard his lecture about this theory quickly put Jack in life support.

Jack went unconscious or so they thought for a whole week but he could hear everything. Doctors considered pulling the plug on him since he was declared clinically dead on the second day. He listened to everything that they had said, while wondering the entire time how many people had been buried alive. This must have been a pretty crazy thought. On the 8th day, Jack managed to move his finger and came back to life without any damage to his body.

Danie Pienaar also a survivor of the kiss of death described how minutes within getting bitten he could taste metal in his mouth while his fingers and lips felt a tingling sensation. Soon enough it “felt like all the hair on my body stood up.” He too became paralyzed and just like Jack, he could hear, touch and see everything but could not move. Danie had hear about Jack’s story and before he became paralyzed, he told the nurses not to turn off the machines. Just like Jack, Danie’s body fought the toxins and a few days later he went back to his regular life.

You could survive a Mamba bite if you are put on an artificial respirator and a heart and lung machine which will do the breathing for you.”

The black mamba occurs across a wide and occasionally fragmented range of sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, the black mamba's range has been observed as: north eastDemocratic Republic of the Congo, south westernSudan to Ethiopia, Eritrea,Somalia, Kenya, eastern Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, southwards toMozambique, Swaziland, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana toKwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, andNamibia; then north easterly through Angolato south eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.[14][19] The black mamba's distribution contains gaps within the Central African Republic, Chad, Nigeria and Mali.

Black mambas are actually brown in color. They get their name from the blue-black of the inside of their mouths, which they display when threatened.
Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive. They have been blamed for numerous human deaths, and African myths exaggerate their capabilities to legendary proportions. For these reasons, the black mamba is widely considered the world’s deadliest snake.

Black mambas live in the savannas and rocky hills of southern and eastern Africa. They are Africa’s longest venomous snake, reaching up to 14 feet (4.5 meters) in length, although 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) is more the average. They are also among the fastest snakes in the world, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour (20 kilometers per hour).
They get their name not from their skin color, which tends to be olive to gray, but rather from the blue-black color of the inside of their mouth, which they display when threatened.
Black mambas are shy and will almost always seek to escape when confronted. However, when cornered, these snakes will raise their heads, sometimes with a third of their body off the ground, spread their cobra-like neck-flap, open their black mouths, and hiss. If an attacker persists, the mamba will strike not once, but repeatedly, injecting large amounts of potent neuro- and cardiotoxin with each strike.

Before the advent of black mamba antivenin, a bite from this fearsome serpent was 100 percent fatal, usually within about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, antivenin is still not widely available in the rural parts of the mamba’s range, and mamba-related deaths remain frequent.

The black mamba has no special conservation status. However, encroachment on its territory is not only putting pressure on the species but contributes to more potentially dangerous human contact with these snakes.

In captivity, King Cobra can certainly eats Black Mamba (never in the wild) due to the fact that King Cobra feeds almost exclusively on other snakes. While Black Mamba is more toxic. Its toxin will not work on King Cobra. These snakes have neurotoxin (toxin attacks nerve system). The venom works by binding to a receptor of a muscle cell of a prey. These snakes are immune to their venom and other elapids with same venom because their DNA produce different structure that prevent their venom from recognize and bind to their cells. Therefore, the venom does not work.

umm…basically, what the previous posters wrote!

I would only add that male black mambas have a mating system that's unique in snakes; when competing for a female, the males will engage in a sort of wrestling match. They will measure each other up and entwine one another, with the victor holding his competitor forcefully to the ground. Interestingly, neither will bite. Also, there are actually four types of mambas, but the black one is the most infamous of them. Oh, prior to the development of antivenom, black mamba bites resulted in a 100% fatality rate, and it's due to the fast- acting neurotoxin/cardiotoxins which necessarily has to be swift, as their prey are rodents and other small animals whose sharp teeth/claws would otherwise inflict serious harm.

The black mamba is a slim (albeit long) snake that is not very powerful, but what it lacks in bulk more than makes up with its speed and ultra-potent venom. Hence, the colloquial yet accurate description of its head as being “coffin-shaped”.

Black mamba is one of the deadliest snakes on the planet. This species can be found in Eastern and Southern parts of Africa. Black mamba can survive in different types of habitat: savannas, swamps, forests, woods and rocky areas.

Black mambas are very long snakes. They can reach 14 feet in the length and 3.5 pounds in weight.

Black mamba has slender body covered in large, smooth scales. Despite their names, black mambas are not black in color. Body coloration depends on their habitat and it can be green, grey or yellow.

Black mambas are named that way because the inner part of their mouth is completely black. Black mamba will display its black mouth when it is facing a danger.

Flattening of the neck and hissing sound are other signs that represent readiness of black mamba to attack.

Black mamba produced neuro- (affects neural system) and cardio-toxin (affects cardiovascular system) that may kill humans in less than 20 minutes.

Black mamba uses venom to hunt different type of birds and small mammals.

Black mamba moves very fast on the ground. It can travel long distances at the speed of up to 12 miles per hour.

Female lays between 10 and 25 eggs in the nest on the ground. High temperature is essential for the incubation of eggs. Young black mambas will hatch after three months. They take care of themselves from the moment of birth.

Black mamba can survive up to 11 years in the wild and up to 12 years in captivity.

My summary of the responses posted thus far:

Mambas are so deadly even looking at a photograph of one is lethal. Looking at a child’s drawing of one is sub-lethal, but will land you in intensive care for the rest of your life.
Mamba venom is so potent you die two minutes before you are bitten.
A mamba can stand on the very tip of its tail to reach into a second story apartment just to bite you while you’re watching Friends reruns from the comfort of your sofa. Out of spite.
Mambas are so short-tempered that they are offended by little more than a sideways glance, whispering behind their back or even thinking about doing either of these. They are so aggressive that if you offend one (and it’s nearly impossible not to), they’ll not only kill you immediately but then spend the next three weeks chasing down all of your blood relatives across the globe and knocking them off, one by one. After three weeks they get over it and head home.

one answer I read was good. they are reportedly the fastest snakes. up to 12 mph. trust me, that's cooking! I read an article where a small family was on a “jeep tour” in south Africa. the guide stopped when seeing an obviously dead mamba. the couple's young son, memory @ 4 yrs. old. the little boy was checking out the snakes head. scratched finger on a gang. went almost immediately cardiac arrest, similar neuro related symptoms. in hospital less than 20 minutes. boy was saved, barely. yikes! that's a hot snake. fortunately they run away asap as a rule. if cornered though, very high risk indeed.

They are highly intelligent and will strike multiple times. Black Mambas are the most feared snake in all of Africa, even though they are not aggressive unless provoked. They hunt rodents so they are often found around human dwellings.

Nairaland / General / Guys Never Marry A Lady Above 30 by shegzy08: 6:36pm On Mar 26, 2018
‘‘Guys Never Marry A Lady Above 30, She Is Close To Menopause And Likely To Give Birth To An slowpoke For You’’ – Baker writes

naijaolofofo.com

Mar 24, 2018 6:27 AM





A South African Baker @nandi_cakes, took to his Twitter page, to list reasons why marrying a woman above 30 is a ‘wrong move’.

According to the South African Baker, such women have low fertility and baby with such lady might have downs syndrome. Here’s what he wrote;

Why men shouldn’t marry women over 30 A THREAD

Firstly women over-30 have a lower fertility. If you want to build a family with these old donkeys be prepared to possibly have a downs syndrome child. 2. When you marry a 30+ woman, you’re marrying her 30+ pe*nises she’s had over her long life on earth. She has more bodies than a grave yard.

Women over-30 are very bitter from the wasted prime spent on failed relationships she hoped would lead to marriage. Now that you’re marrying her, she should be grateful, but she’s not. She’s always just angry.

By marrying a woman over 30+ you are investing everything in a rapidly depreciating pleasure provider that has already lost a lot of its aesthetic value… She will be wrinkled in the next 5 years and already having back problems.

Many guys these days are marrying early 30’s women, and then, almost immediately – Bam!. It’s over almost before it began. Its because you are trying to make ancestors housewives. Leave these dinosaurs.

Marrying an over-30 woman is like buying a used car 1Km short of its 120,000km servicing. The over-30 woman can fix herself up enough to fool the prospective provider/hubby for a short while, and once the line that is dotted is signed her true colours come out.

Many women who are not married in their late 30s today never saw it coming. They had a plan: finish their first degree, masters, a job, a promotion, make money, be independent and settle down by 30, latest 32.

Over the years, they turn down potential husbands, go on a partying spree like they have frozen time, only to arrive at 35 with nothing to show for it other than a dead end job, a car, and sometimes a child from a relationship that never quite worked out

So, now they are stuck in a phase where they will never find a man of their dreams and have to settle for any man who will be gracious enough to even suggest marriage. By now, all those flimsy and shallow standards they used to have are gone, humility is their second name.

I have seen many women on Twitter in their 20s buy into the misguided, feminist belief that men & marriage are bad for their academic & career advancement. What feminism does not factor in is that the older a woman get, the less a chance she stands of marrying someone desirable.

This is a fact of life, don’t come here with your Nywe Nywe Nywe misogyny… VOETSEK

Very few men would marry a 35+ woman when we live in a highly hypergamous (act of marrying someone wealthier than you) society. There are plenty of young and hot beautiful women ready to settle into a marriage where they play the second fiddle as long as the man provides.

It is good to be ambitious, even better to break the stupid glass ceilings, but at what price? Bottom line, at some point, you will need a man in your life. My experience of having observed women 30+ has proven that they mostly live a life full of regrets.

Let me share with you from my observations the signs that a woman is likely to end up single, and lonely and stay away from these types!! 1. She values education and career over marriage and relationship. She’s always throwing statements like “Marriage isn’t an achievement”

2. At age 30+ she has more liquor in her refrigerator than fruits and vegetables. 3. She can take down more shots than any of her peers at 30+ who have kids 4. She’s into smoking cigarettes and addicted to weed. 5. Her idea of fun at age 30+ is a night out with the girls.

6. At age 30+ she still insists on only dating men based on what their career is. “He’s a lawyer” “He’s a doctor” “He’s an engineer” 7. The idea of cooking for a man is a total turn-off to her.

8. She has never forgiven her father for abusing her mother, or her first boyfriend used to abuse her and she now thinks every man is violent and controlling. 9. She is so much into fashion, and hair-styling she doesn’t want to be identified as being old in her circles

10. Her job involves a lot of travelling. 11. She can easily find a parking spot at Taboo than her way to church. 12. She believes in absolute equality in marriage without any sacrifice or compromise.

My brother if you find an ancestor over 32+ Love yourself…… run away from these dinosaurs

The man who can run 50 Marathons, in 50 Consecutive Days, in 50 different States. 
Dean Karnazes 



This guy can literally (yes, literally) run forever at 10+ Km/Hr if kept sufficiently well hydrated and fed. The guy has actually ran 350 miles (560 km) in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep in 2005. Try browsing Facebook without sleep for 80 hours, this guy was running, while maintaining an average speed greater than 7 Km/hr, for 560 Km.


The Super Human Part:

"they measured his CPK number, which shows the amount of damage your muscles sustain from exercise. So for instance, a normal runner's CPK would be through the roof after a marathon -- around 2,400. Karnazes' was found to be at 447 ... after 25 consecutive marathons."

Cristiano Ronaldo.

He is truly a world class athlete and has some serious power packed in his body. His jump is higher than the average NBA basketball player, just one facet of an incredible athlete.

When Ronaldo jumps, he generates 5G of G-force on take-off - this is five times the power of a cheetah in full flight. This enables him to reach heights of 44cm in the air from a standing start and 78cm with a run-up - 7cm higher than the average NBA player. This was measured during biomechanic tests on the forward at the University of Chichester in 2011. He was put to the test in a film for Castrol Edge Rankings made by M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment.



Powerful thigh and upper body muscles are essential for this kind of leap and so Ronaldo spends hours in the gym training his muscles to maintain his power - the circumference of his thighs is 62cm. In fact, during a full weight training session, the Portugal star will lift the equivalent of over 16 new Toyota Prius cars.

Another side effect of this strenuous fitness regime is that Ronaldo has less body fat than a supermodel. This is just the beginning of the impressive features of a footballing machine, however. Ronaldo's reaction times when on the pitch are so quick they would circumnavigate the world over 31 hours faster than the quickest bullet train.



Ronaldo can reach a height of 44cm from a standing jump.



With a run-up, Ronaldo can attain a height of 78cm

This impressive strength and power has won many a game for Ronaldo and his team.



Ronaldo rises above the Chelsea defence to head home United's goal in the 2008 Champions League final



A Ronaldo free-kick accelerates four times faster than the Apollo space rocket at lift-off

He possesses such endurance that every season he runs the equivalent distance from Madrid to Lisbon.

It's not just long-distance running either - he will sprint 900 times more in a season than an Olympic sprinter.

Scientists have found that one of his free-kicks accelerates four times faster than the Apollo 11 space rocket at blast off.

No wonder Real paid £80m to grab the Portugese star from Manchester United.

WHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL?

DNA
Most people who can jump so high are born with a high percentage of fast-twitch muscles, which gives them explosive speed.

YEARS OF PRACTICE
From 12 years old, players start plyometric training — jumping and hopping while carrying a weight bar. They also do gym work to develop their leg muscles, such as lunges and single leg squats. They also jump off boxes on to the floor, and then spring straight back up and over hurdles.

STRENGTHENING KEY MUSCLES
To jump high, you need strong calf muscles, hamstrings, quads and glutes (see left for where they are on the body). When you are in the air, you also need strong stomach muscles, which allow you to move your back, shoulder and neck muscles to head a ball higher. Players use very heavy weights in short bursts to develop these muscles. During a full weight training session, 13st 7lb Ronaldo will lift a total of the equivalent of more than 16 Toyota Prius cars.

DIET
Players eat a lot of protein to build muscle. That means plenty of fish, eggs and meat. Some sugars and carbohydrates before training provide energy. Due to his rigorous regime, Ronaldo has less body fat than a supermodel.

Shakuntala Devi

She is the only person who comes to my mind when i see the word "Mental calculator/Human computer".

Some of her achievements -

in 1980, Shakuntala Devi demonstrated the  multiplication of two 13-digit numbers: '7,686,369,774,870 x  2,465,099,745,779', picked randomly by the Computer Department of  Imperial College, London. She produced the correct answer of  '18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730', in just 28 seconds.
In 1977, at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas,  Texas, She extracted the 23rd root of a 201-digit number, in 50 seconds, with the correct answer being '546372891'. She  had beaten the then fastest computer, UNIVAC's time of 62 seconds, and  13,000 instructions.
Shakuntala could find the cube root of 332 812 557 in under a minute.

my friend sharrrraaaaaap there. Which warm welcome? Was it not because of your people saying to the igbos that lagos belongs to you that igbos started saying lagos is no man's land. You will never hear a south africa from a particular tribe say johannesburg belongs to a certain tribe because they know that johannesburg was developed by every south african,be it zulus, xhosa, whites, coloureds, indians, twanas and pedis etc. Warm welcome my assssss.

Lol.. Is south Africa as diversified as Nigeria is... So funny how the developed place is no Mans land and the underdeveloped belongs to some people

Kano can only say that Abuja belongs to all...which would be correct. Same as Lagos - minus Ibeju Lekki and Badagry areas...

Lol, it's same old thing, everything imbibed in you, there are indigenes of so many places in Lagos... Epe, isale eko..even so many places in the mainland, I reside in oregun and there are many informed of oregun, ojota, even alausa where the secretariat is located
