njays24:
Are they not those kids yorubas call "omo pe nnu", kids that are in their mother's womb for more that 9months upwards..!

No child can stay more than 10 months max, in their mother's womb.

If you have clinical evidence to the contrary, let's hear it.

Upon all the warnings, people will still be in a haste to judge anyway.

But, why apples?

The point is, you are a slave if you think you are.

1. We wear agbada under the hot sun

2. We speak our languages

3. We tie things around the waist

4. Black women are not wearing dead people's hair

5. Monogamy is not unknown to Africa

6. Whoever is selling pant should give us the stats on what sells more

7. Optional as at now

8. Your choice.

interesting.


they could probably make it open to men as well, though.

why not put it on one of the church poster threads.

e be like say Obasanjo's family dey dress sha.

smallrincowis16:
that's a blatant lie.

why do you feel so?

I will go directly to the traditional ruler's place to request for a strategic position where I will raise a sculptural piece of president Goodluck Jonathan

better if you:

-purchase what you want to use

-ask if the statue can be in a different location

- place the statue in the university

-ask the indigenes of the town if they are ok with the idea of a non-indigene doing such without consulting them

-place the piece in a museum or presidential library

-check if basic amenities would not be preferred instead of a statue (re: the poverty campaign currently in the works)

- work with the state govt on this type of project. It might actually be the responsibility or domain of the authorities in charge.


etc etc.

just suggestions.

are you saying this phenomenon is unique to Africans alone?

good question.

so. . . . . .

Healthy eating

Eating fatty, greasy food can make you put on weight. But that's not the only risk. Unhealthy eating has a direct impact on your arteries, your blood pressure, your glucose level, among other things. You don't need to go on a special diet to eat healthy. Just make sure you focus on eating fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, beans, peas, nuts, and lean meats. The foods you eat should also be low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol (koh-LESS-tur-ol), salt, and added sugars. If you drink alcohol, do it moderately. Women should drink no more than one alcoholic drink per day.



Knowing your numbers

Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) and blood sugar levels. These simple screening tests will give you important information about your heart health. Your doctor can tell you what your numbers mean and what you need to do to protect your heart. Check out the Screening tests and vaccines section on this site to learn how often you need these screening tests.



Taking care of yourself

Stress, anxiety, depression, and lack of sleep have all been linked to increased risk of heart disease. And they're not doing your mind or the rest of your body any good either. You may feel that you don't have enough time to take a break or get enough sleep now. But the possible results of overloading yourself, including heart attack and stroke, aren't worth it. In the midst of all you do, it's important to make time for yourself. Make sure you get the amount of sleep you need each day to wake up feeling refreshed. Take steps to keep stress in check, such as taking time each day to relax and unwind with friends or loved ones. And if you're having trouble coping because of depression, anxiety, or other emotional health issues, get help. Your doctor or a counselor can teach you healthy ways to reduce stress or suggest treatment for depression or other mental health problems. Although we don't know if treating emotional problems or reducing stress lowers heart disease risk, doing so will boost your overall health and well-being.

Heart Health and Stroke


Many women may not be aware that heart disease and stroke are major threats to their health. But heart disease is the number one cause of death among women in the United States, and stroke is number three.


Heart attack, stroke, and other forms of heart disease are a threat to so many women. But you can take steps to protect your heart and lower your risk. Steps include getting regular physical activity, making healthy food choices, knowing your numbers and taking good care of yourself overall. It is also important to make sure you talk to your doctor about heart health and the use of menopausal hormone therapy or aspirin.

Physical activity

You don't have to become a super athlete, but your body needs to move. The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans state that an active lifestyle can lower your risk of early death from heart disease, stroke, and many other health problems. It can also boost your mood. Health benefits are gained by doing the following each week:


•2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity

or

•1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity

or

•A combination of moderate and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity

and

•Muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days



So pick an activity you like, and do it often.

But it is the explosion in non-medical uses, such as controlling video games with brain waves, that is driving neurotechnology.

SharpBrains measured "intellectual property (IP) strength" by number of neurotechnology patents as well as patent quality, reflected in how many other patents reference them, for instance.

By that measure, Nielsen leads the pack, with patents describing ways to detect brain activity with EEG and translate it into what someone truly thinks about, say, a new product, advertising, or packaging.

Microsoft Corp. holds patents that assess mental states, with the goal of determining the most effective way to present information. If software knows a user's attention is wandering, it could hold back complicated material.



Another Microsoft patent describes a neuro-system that claims to discern whether a computer user is amenable to receiving advertisements.

Such patents reflect the enthusiasm for neuro-monitoring, something many scientists say has not been shown to be more effective than, say, asking people what they think about a product.

On a lighter note, an EEG patent awarded to San Jose-based biosensors company NeuroSky describes a design for a headset that could deliver music based on a user's brainwaves, perhaps a ballad when the listener is feeling contemplative.

From ways to eavesdrop on brains and learn what advertisements excite consumers, to devices that alleviate depression, the number of U.S. patents awarded for "neurotechnology" has soared since 2010, according to an analysis released on Wednesday.

Most surprising, concluded market-research firm SharpBrains, is that patents have been awarded to inventors well beyond those at medical companies. The leader in neurotechnology patents, according to the report, is consumer-research behemoth Nielsen.

That expansion into non-medical uses, said SharpBrains Chief Executive Alvaro Fernandez, who presented the results at the NeuroGaming conference in San Francisco, shows we are at the dawn of "the pervasive neurotechnology age," in which everyday technologies will be connected to brains.

"Neurotech has gone well beyond medicine, with non-medical corporations, often under the radar, developing neurotechnologies to enhance work and life," he said.

Patents for neurotechnology bumped along at 300 to 400 a year in the 2000s, then soared to 800 in 2010 and 1,600 last year, SharpBrains reported.

onila you have to mature past all this nah.



You can eat your stew with whatever you want. Even if na burrito or anything you feel like sef.

Check google or the airline websites.

People get very upset over other people's accents, in america.

Is tania omotayo looking at these pictures?


Their pa and pro and photographer are very mischievious imo.

Nkan nbe.

Everybody hates chris is a series, not a movie

AAinEqGuinea:
True. But recalling this point in history and ultimately giving white people all this masterminding glory is making my skin curl.

Almost making me wanna act and talk white, marvel in everything whitey invents, white daddy the savior

Nigerians know that history very well.

Do you really believe your problems are solely from people who "talk and act white"?

ezeagu:
. . . .two people marrying doesn't unite two massive "tribes", and if you mean by mass marriage, then it still doesn't do much. What does is if the children of that couple form a whole new unique ethnic group out of both their mothers ethnic group and fathers. This does not happen and the mothers ethnic group is considered to have no relation to the child who has a father from another ethnic group. There's a lot of instances where the partners themselves still have bad perceptions about the other partners ethnic group.

Example:
Babangida's kids have nothing to do with Igboland and I bet you they have no recognition of the land as part theirs.

I've seen fathers angry when their children wear their mothers ethnic wear. Call me back when a Yoruba man allows his children to attend an event with okpu okonoko and ishi agu.

Babangida's wife was half hausa though.

Can we have the real story behind these "1952" pictures?

they were obviously showing their undernourished state (and this was 1952, it seems).

what is the story behind this picture? What NGO is involved?
