The Federal Government of Nigeria cannot regulate FREE SPEECH in a democratic Nigeria... unless they intend to hand over to the military.

President Buhari's Nigeria is burning, unarmed protesters are being shot at and killed by Nigeria's military, Buhari will never say anything about it, but anything that happens in the abroad, President Jibiti will sharperly chill mouth.

Suddenly Vincent vanished into thin air, we searched & searched to no avail.

Our armouries were ransacked (secret locations where arms & munitions, cash, clothes etc were hidden in case of emergency). What was their next plan??

We became jittery, afraid but very bitter. https:///8Zkrk7Nc0P

A lot happened in my first year, bt d turning point occurred during my second year.

I was already a ranking member of a violent cult group. Incidentally, I also doubled as an executive in a student fellowship, one that had presence in almost all tertiary institution in �� https:///cQkcfFnnkT

Series of reprisal cult killings had occurred, plus a member of our cult group cross carpeted to a rival cult, that was unacceptable, plus, he was my right hand man.

He knew too much. He had to be taken out asap. Naturally, I headed the strike team tasked to execute the task. https:///upMLJkG6Wt

We strategized & struck, but he wasn't a duck (soft target), he knew our MO, had protection of his new family!

He was a liability to us, but an asset to them. You would understand that cult groups form collaboration with others, we had ours, they had theirs. https:///neawHj7QCz

After the burial of our parents, a family meeting was held, 10 of us were in attendance, a resolution was agreed upon, I have been chosen to further my education, Every family member was to contribute money in that respect.

I was elated, I was very happy! https:///1GCMo7tU1w

Papa made Okpara (Eldest son) swear to produce a graduate in our family on his dying bed.

Sat for JAMB & conquered JAMB!

JAMB had other plans, I chose Law as my preferred course of study, but JAMB, in their infinite wisdom & mercy offered me Sociology & Anthropology.

I cried! https:///oiXYbHA3Zn

I pleaded with my siblings to allow me sit for another JAMB, they weren't having any of it.

"If I wanted to see the four walls of a university, I should take what I was offered", they threatened & thundered! https:///K1MaRtYl5r


I reluctantly agreed to their arrangements, I was delusional and devastated.

I felt JAMB had cheated me.
I felt the system hates me.
I had always dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

I was already being called "barrister" ffs,
it was my nickname, I deserved to be a barrister, I cried. https:///bdps7TOlZe

Back home, I had to hustle from a young age, all of my siblings as well, this was inculcated into the fabrics of our very existence.

We had to hawk everyday after school,
we regularly skipped school, to attend to "money emergencies", this occurred very often as u would imagine. https:///MOR4jbrvDU

My parents weren't educated, but they vowed to educate us, this they did in earnest, until they couldn't, death came knocking.

Education was relatively cheap then, my father enrolled us as soon as he could afford it, we all had a minimum of secondary education before they died. https:///vXcOfyyaiO

The authors recognise that genetics is not the only determinant of happiness. They argue that the economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by East European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians and Estonians. This is despite the fairly high prevalence of the A allele in the genes of these Northeast European nations.

From the above, this is not good news at all! It simply reinforces the fact that the majority of the "happy" Nigerians are docile. Taking a cue from the political and security insecurity that has bedevilled and continue to plague Nigeria, we've simply refused to be bothered.

Classic Fela's suffering and smiling analogy!

This is an indictment against Nigerians and it is very shameful!

Genes may contribute to making some nations happier than others.

First study to show link between genetic make-up and perceived national happiness.

Date:
January 14, 2016.

Source:
Springer.

Summary:
The citizens of nations that rate themselves happiest display a specific genetic feature: their DNA is more likely to contain a specific allele involved in sensory pleasure and pain reduction, say researchers. They weighed up genetic and various external factors to might contribute to national differences in happiness.


FULL STORY
The citizens of nations which rate themselves happiest display a specific genetic feature: their DNA is more likely to contain a specific allele involved in sensory pleasure and pain reduction, say Michael Minkov of the Varna University of Management (formerly International University College) in Bulgaria, and Michael Bond of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. They weighed up genetic and various external factors to might contribute to national differences in happiness. The findings are published in Springer's Journal of Happiness Studies.



Minkov and Bond used data from three waves of the nationally representative World Values Survey (2000 -- 2014). They calculated the average national percentages of respondents who unambiguously reported being "very happy." Their calculations also included population genetic data from an allele frequency database maintained by population geneticist Kenneth K. Kidd of Yale University as well as climatic information about the harshness of summers and winters, the historic prevalence of pathogens and World Bank economic data, since national differences in subjective well-being are thought to depend on socioeconomic and climatic factors in addition to genetic factors. The authors found a strong correlation between a nation's happiness and the presence of the A allele in the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) gene variant rs324420 in its citizens' genetic make-up. This allele helps prevent the chemical degradation of anandamide, a substance that enhances sensory pleasure and helps to reduce pain.

Nations with the highest prevalence of the A allele are quite clearly also those who perceive themselves happiest. These include Ghana and Nigeria in West Africa, and northern Latin American nations, such as Mexico and Colombia, whose citizens are of Amerindian or mixed Euro-American descent. The Arab nations of Iraq and Jordan, and the East Asian nations of Hong Kong, China, Thailand and Taiwan, which had the lowest prevalence of this allele, were also found to be the least likely to rate themselves as "very happy." Genetics also suggests explanations for differences in happiness between European nations. Northern Europeans such as Swedes were found to have a much higher prevalence of the A allele -- and more often rate themselves as being very happy -- than their cousins from Central or Southern Europe.

The authors recognise that genetics is not the only determinant of happiness. They argue that the economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by East European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians and Estonians. This is despite the fairly high prevalence of the A allele in the genes of these Northeast European nations.

[i]Economic wealth, the type of law governing a nation or disease patterns did not significantly influence national differences in happiness. [/i]However, politics and economics did cause fluctuations in happiness levels in certain countries during the time this study was conducted. The authors suggest that, for instance, the percentage of very happy people in Rwanda rose dramatically recently because the effect of the 1994 genocide is wearing off. Inversely, it fell among Egyptians, most likely because of the political and economic turmoil in this North African country.

Climatic differences were also found to be significantly associated with national differences in happiness.

"We cannot fail to notice the high occurrence of the A allele in equatorial and tropical environments in the Americas and Africa and the lower occurrence of that allele around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe," says Minkov. "It seems that some equatorial and tropical environments select for a higher occurrence of the A allele as a counterbalance to environmental stressors."

The results may sound somewhat disturbing for nations that are not endowed with beneficial genes and climatic factors. The researchers reiterate that they studied only national differences in relation to one another and not absolute measures. "In other words, we have not shown that a nation's genetic and climatic heritage doom a particular country to a specific happiness score, but that it can still rise and fall because of situational factors," explains Bond.

Teewhy2:
Don't tell me everyone playing abroad is better than players in the Nigeria professional league. How can someone who hasn't start a match this season and conceded 20 goals in 15 matches want to be Nigeria national team goal keeper.

What you call 'professional' is quite amateurish.
Nothing professional about the NPFL.
Is it the management of the clubs or players?
Discipline of clubs, players and coaching crew?
Matches are postponed indiscriminately without due consultation or info.
Marketing or popularity of the league and players?
There's nothing to write home about!

And If the Fulani chase out the ibo from their own communities? Be careful what you wish for cos you might not start liking it in the end

Their cattle and their manner of rearing wrecks havocks on the livelihood of their host community.
How do you rationalize killing off someone else's source of livelihood because some other person is just passing by?

How much tax do these herders pay?
Cattle rearing is a private business, the business owners should look for safer ways to conduct their business.

Every religion is fetish. Essentially, fetishism is the emic attribution of inherent value or powers to an object.

Bibles, rosary, holy water, cross, beads etc are all objects of fetishism. Stay calm and sip water!

Romance / Re: I Am Dropping My Marriage Plans Cos Of This by virud: 3:47pm On May 04, 2019
enshi:

So I asked her if she has ever been pregnant before.

To my surprise she said Yes, even twice.
One immediately after secondary School and the other for a married man she met two years ago.

Both she had aborted.

I am down and scared.. this is same girl who slept with her ex's best friend just to get back at him after a break up .
First of all, I am a firm believer in the principles of "second chance".

Its not that her previous promiscuity would increase the chances of divorce or unpalatable situations Later in your marriage. Promiscuos women are more likely to have positive self esteem & body worth.
So, if you are a religious person who condemns promiscuity, feels that divorce is always wrong no matter what, threatened by women with a strong sense of self love, esteem & worth, a marriage with such a woman might not work for you.

Prison was Mandela's second home, Did he run at any point in time to go fight apartheid from the UK, Germany or Isreal?


Dear Igbos,

I support your Biafra Movement but look for a leader not a Bummer running in a circle chasing his own tail.

Prison was a second home; if there was a first , one would not settle for a lesser second.
