[b]i've experienced this
scenario several times that when i yawn, then next person/people close to me at that particular time will start yawning simultaneously and vice versa, i have always wondered and i have done my researcher but still not satisfied

below are the few explanation i could gather and thought i should share

Most people, when they see
someone else yawn, quickly feel
the urge to yawn as well.
Between 40 and 60% of people
automatically find yawning
contagious and yawn
themselves. The standard
answers from scientists as to
why people find yawning
contagious used to be that,
although it was clearly a real
phenomena, there was no
obvious reason for it. Research
conducted in 2005 by Finnish
scientists, however, may point
to certain parts of the brain as
being responsible.
When a person witnesses
someone else yawning, he or
she has a mostly unconscious
urge to do the same. People
may become conscious of the
urge, but scientists suggest the
beginning of the yearn to yawn
is unconscious. This means that
the signal must bypass the
mirror neuron system, which is
a process that would make this
response a conscious and
imitative act. Scientists have
often, in the past, suggested
that the mirror neuron system
causes yawning.
Instead, researchers found that
seeing someone else yawn
seems to render the
periamygdala sections of the
brain inactive. This is a tiny part
of the brain on either side of
the head that helps interpret
things like facial expressions. If
it was working, the conscious
response to yawning might be,
“Oh, he’s tired.” By temporarily
blocking such a reading,
however, the response cannot
at first be a conscious
perception.
This does not explain
specifically why people find
yawing contagious, but it does
suggest that there are brain
sections responsible for a
person’s perception of a yawn.
In addition, the response does
not begin with the mirror
neuron system but instead
bypasses it.
Other explanations include the
idea that yawning may have
evolved in early man as a way to
signal or set up sleep schedules.
A contagious yawn meant that
perhaps more than one person
was tired and people should
sleep accordingly. Since
tiredness might indicate a less
energetic response to danger,
yawning would mean people
should find shelter and get out
of danger. Those who yawned
and paid attention to it may
have been selected into the
species because they got
proper sleep and were more
alert to danger.[/b]

[b]4. British Began to Conquer Nigeria

One of the most notable events in the Nigerian history
occurred in 1901 when the British formally made Nigeria
a protectorate. The British had first entered into the
area during the 1880s in order to trade with Nigerians.
Once the British took over Nigeria they began to dictate
the affairs of the territory and
enslaved parts of the
population. They enforced colonial rule and ran the country for almost 50 years.
The British modernized the
country at this point and introduced its society to western influence.

5. Christian Missionaries began Activity in Nigeria

Christian missionaries closely followed the British as they were coming to Nigeria to
start off their missionary work. It made the most
influence on the religions lives of Nigerians especially
those in the southern parts of the nation making this moment a remarkable one in
the Nigerian history. At this time, many Nigerians were
introduced to the Christian religion which has continued
to wax stronger since that time. Religious beliefs among
Nigerians have sometimes gone to a matter of life and
death resulting in conflicts especially between the Muslims in the North and the
Christians in the South.

6. Lord Lugard’s Ruthless Government in Nigeria

Fredrick Lugard was an ex- British soldier who was given
the responsibility of running Nigeria in 1912. When Lord
Lugard was in charge of the country, he spent half of his
time running Nigeria from England. Lugard didn’t like the Nigerians. During his
reign he permitted slavery in some parts of the colony and
used the military to keep control. He is remembered as
one of the worst colonial rulers in Nigerian history and
this motivated some Nigerian people to begin the process
of having their freedom from
the British Empire.

7. Nigeria’s Decolonization and Independence

Shortly after World War II was over, many nations within
Africa began to want their independence from European
powers that colonized most of the continent. The British Empire was the primary
colonizer of Africa and
nationalism began to grow all throughout the continent.
Many Nigerians were fed up with the British and had been
indirectly seeking to be free from them for years. Eventually, Nigerian nationals
were able have their
independence in 1960 aided by the fact that Britain was a beaten and devastated nation
that could no longer hold onto their overseas territories.

8. Nigeria’s First Republic

In the year 1963 all of the British power had pulled out of the country and the
nation was finally free to govern its own affairs. Even though the British no longer
remained in power they still had considerable influence
on the society and culture of Nigeria. English still remains a
part of this country and many British people still conduct
business and live in the nation.

9. The First National Elections

Shortly after Nigeria gained its independence, the country held its first national elections
which was done to establish the country’s first independent government.
The elections took place in the month of December, 1964.

10. Transition of power

The year 2007 was a
notable one in Nigerian history as the year marks the
first time that ruling
government parties had a peaceful transition of power
since Nigeria became a peaceful state. Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua took control
of the government from Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who ruled the nation for 8 years.[/b]

[b]Nigeria is officially known as the First Republic of Nigeria
and it is located in the
western part of Africa . One of the most interesting part of
the Nigerian history is the fact that the most populous country in Africa was formed
by the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates by lord Lugard in 1914. This article sheds more light on some of the
most memorable events that had transpired in the
Nigerian history before and after the country was formed.
History and events shape the future of any great nation so
read and discover the
memorable incidences that has occurred since the inception of the largest country in Africa. Here are the
10 most amazing moments in the history of Nigeria.

1. The Yoruba and the
Kingdom of Nri

Even though the Yoruba was the first major tribal group in
the nation, the Kingdom of Nri was the first established
monarchy in the history of Nigeria. Nri was the originator of the Igbo culture
which was a major influential group in the region after its
establishment in 948 AD. At this time, the Kingdom of Nri
was unique because the rulers governed the people through the use of political,
economic and religious authority and didn’t need to
use force to control their subjects. The Nri was also a safe haven for people who
had been ostracized from their communities and for
people escaping from slavery.

2. Benin Empire

The Benin Empire began in the 15th century when it was
founded by the Edo people who resided in western Africa. Benin was an important empire within the
history of Nigeria because it rose to international fame for
its artworks which was exported to different parts of
Europe and the rest of the world. The Empire of Benin was a trading one that was
highly organized and
efficient. Benin was the first Nigerian territory that rivalled
any contemporary European power in terms of governance and function.
This empire was intact when the British arrived in Benin during the 19th century.

3. The Establishment of Hausa Kingdom

The Islamic Hausa Empire was established from a group of old city states that lied
between the Niger River and Lake Chad. The Hausa people
were influenced by the Islamic religion and it was also a powerful center for
trade and commerce. The Hausa had considerable
influence over many people within the central Nigerian
area. They even posed an economic and cultural challenge to other major empires of that time such as
Mali. This empire fell apart in 1808 and when the British
arrived in 1880 they helped the Hausa to reclaim the influence and position they
lost in the past.[/b]
