Thank you all for how far you’ve supported Gloria to walking again. Some of you have seen snipets I take of her– she’s smiling but she’s still sitting. The previous surgery was successful and she was undergoing physiotherapy. She couldn’t stand one morning and the doctor said

One of the oldest Christian communities in the world is in India The St. Thomas Christians of Kerala trace their founding to 52 AD, when the Apostle Thomas is said to have landed on the Malabar Coast When the Portuguese showed up in 1498, they found a Church already 1,400 years old, worshipping in Aramaic

There's a ball of dried mud sitting on a shelf somewhere in northern Afghanistan. Inside: fresh grapes, still sweet, still firm. Sealed in there for six months. A 2023 peer-reviewed study confirmed the trick works as well as modern packaging. It's called kangina, which means "treasure" in Dari. Farmers mix mud with straw, shape it into two bowls, and bake them in the sun for about five hours. Then they pile in a kilogram or two of unbruised grapes, slap a thick rim of fresh mud around the seam, and set the sealed ball in a cool corner. That's it. No fridge. Grapes don't die the moment you pick them. They keep breathing, slowly, giving off carbon dioxide. Inside the sealed ball, the CO2 builds up. The grapes slow down to a crawl, and any fungus trying to grow on the skin gets choked out by the gas. Meanwhile, a trickle of oxygen seeps in through tiny pores in the dried clay, just enough to keep the grapes alive without speeding up rot. The clay is also a sponge, soaking up moisture that would otherwise feed mold. Modern food labs do the exact same thing with plastic films and gas mixers. They call it controlled-atmosphere packaging. Afghan farmers got there about eight hundred years earlier with two bowls of mud. In 2023, a team of Afghan and Italian food scientists ran a head-to-head test in the Journal of Packaging Technology and Research. They put grapes in paper cartons, plastic bags, styrofoam boxes, kanginas, and out in the open air. After 50 days at room temperature, only the styrofoam and the kanginas still had grapes worth eating. The trick has been around at least since the 12th century, when a writer in southern Spain named Ibn al-Awwam described it in his farming book. That was back when most of Europe was still preserving food with salt and cellars. Grapes have been grown in what's now Afghanistan for over 4,000 years. A farmer named Ziaulhaq Ahmadi lives in Aqa Saray, a village half an hour north of Kabul. Each harvest he buys 1,000 kilos of grapes. He sells half right away. The rest goes into kanginas, stacked in his house through the winter. Come spring, around Nowruz, the Persian New Year in late March, he cracks them open when no fresh grapes are left in the market. Same fruit. Much higher price. A fridge in your kitchen burns electricity every minute of every day and gives you, what, two weeks. A ball of mud baked in the sun gives you six months.

There’s a mutual on TikTok currently battling Kidney Cancer, a very young Nigerian girl, she’s only 25. I can’t imagine what it feels like to see someone die of an illness you’re battling real time, that must be so scary 🥹. Fuck. I’ll attach her TikTok account if anyone wants to donate to her, or simply pray for her. She’s done 3 rounds of surgery already.

There is a huge ideological difference between Peter Obi and Tinubu. Tinubu believes that with taxes, you can improve productivity. Peter Obi believes that with productivity, you can improve taxes. That's the social contract we talk about. Peter Obi invests in people, they become successful and they return back in large folds. Tinubu believes that even if hunger is killing a man, he should pay taxes so the government can continue to live as it pleases. Choose wisely.

Lol, why would I delete it? Back in 2020, because of the exceptional performance of Seyi Makinde during his first term, I said he had the qualities to be President. Fast forward to 2023, while he was contesting for reelection as governor, Peter Obi came on the scene and, based on his track record, I volunteered to be his campaign photographer pro bono because I genuinely believed he was fit for the job. I didn’t stop at taking pictures. I went back to my polling unit on election Day, voted, bought snacks, and encouraged people to stay until every single vote was counted. Peter Obi won there too. For context, that polling unit is close to the PDP national secretariat in AkwaIbom, and Udom Emmanuel was the PDP campaign DG. In 2025, I returned and continued my work as his photographer. So why exactly should I be ashamed that I saw visionary leadership in 2020 and wanted it at the national level? Unlike some political jobbers who once praised Peter Obi and later switched up, I’ve never changed my stance on Seyi Makinde. I’ve never insulted or disrespected him. I’m not just a supporter of Peter Obi, I work for and with him. He has the capacity to lead this country, and Seyi Makinde does too, based on proven track records. At the end of the day, it’s better for productive and competent people to contest elections than to leave leadership in the hands of drug dealers, certificate forgers, and people with no traceable background. I want a Nigeria that works and I’m happy the race is competitive, unlike the coronation some people were hoping to have.

Your body has roughly 20 hours to live above what climbers call Everest's death zone. The summit sits on the wrong side of that line. The people in that photo are dying as they take it. Up there, the air holds about a third of the oxygen you'd breathe at sea level. Your blood oxygen drops from a healthy 95% to 50 or 60. At any hospital on Earth, those numbers trigger a medical emergency. Your brain starts running on fumes. Climbers describe feeling drunk, hearing voices, seeing people who aren't there. Even basic decisions, like whether to turn back, can feel impossible. Meanwhile your stomach stops processing food, sleep becomes pointless, and your cells burn through oxygen faster than bottled tanks can replace it. After about 20 hours, organs start to fail. Most people who die on Everest die on the way down, already half-gone by the time they turn around. The crowd in this photo is the 2025 summit weekend, when 213 people reached the top on May 18 and 19 alone. They were all squeezed into one narrow window when the wind dropped enough to climb. The 2026 season just opened on May 13 with a record 492 permits. The fee jumped to $15,000 a head this year, up from $11,000, and Nepal has already pulled in over $7 million from Everest alone this spring. A full Everest trip averages $61,000. Luxury packages with heated tents and unlimited oxygen run $150,000 to $300,000 a person. About 200 dead climbers are still on the mountain right now, frozen where they fell. Rainbow Valley sits just below the summit, named for the colored jackets sticking up through the snow. Almost none can be brought back. Recovering a single body once took 18 hours and a team of climbers, and helicopters can't fly that high. The Sherpas who do most of the work, fixing the ropes, hauling the oxygen tanks, sometimes carrying clients when they collapse, earn around $10,000 for an entire season. Western guides on the same trip make $30,000 to $50,000. Back home, farm income in their villages averages $500 a year, which is why so many of them keep coming back. 42 mountain workers have died on Everest in the past ten years. Mountains kill people. Everest is the one that takes your money first, hands you a guide and an oxygen tank, and points you past a body count on the way up.

Anybody who does not see that we need this is very interesting. 6 Geopolitical Zones. Bring your leader; let him/her serve for 5 years. Just like the way the EU rotates its leadership. After, go home and be celebrated. Now, if one person decides to become like the Fire Nation, we put a clause in the constitution that allows for an Avatar that comes in to ensure stability. The Avatar could be AANG - All Alliance of Nigerian Geopoliticals. The Avatar can have access to all four elements (Judiciary, Legislature, Executive, and Military). Activate it, and take your country back, and restore order in 6 months. If it's difficult, declare Avatar state. You use a nuclear nuke and clear all of them at once. And then there were 5. National Unity is important as a means of stability. 😅

The musty wet-rag smell on damp clothes is bacteria. A bug called Moraxella osloensis lives on your skin, gets onto fabric every time you wash, and once that fabric stays damp past 4 hours, it starts doubling. What you're smelling is the acid it leaves behind as waste. Japanese researchers at Moriyama University figured this out in 2012. They counted 10 times more of this bug on smelly towels than on clean ones. It survives any wash below 60°C, or 140°F. Most people wash much cooler. The fungi behind athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch also live on damp clothes. A 2010 paper from the Hohenstein Institutes in Germany found that about 10% of the infectious material jumps from a contaminated piece of clothing to a clean one just by sitting in the same laundry basket. And wet fabric passes 200 times more bacteria to your skin than dry fabric. Then there's the air. One wet load of laundry releases about 2 litres of water, around half a gallon, into the room. The UK's Centre for Sustainable Energy ran the numbers: drying one load in a small bedroom, around 10 by 10 feet, pushes humidity to roughly 96%. A tropical rainforest sits between 77 and 88%. Mould starts growing at 60%. The fungus that loves these conditions is Aspergillus fumigatus. Professor David Denning at the National Aspergillosis Centre in Manchester has treated patients who developed a chronic lung infection from inhaling spores that grew in bedrooms where wet laundry was drying on the radiator. His team estimates 87% of UK homes dry their clothes indoors during winter. So a shirt that didn't quite dry has live bacteria still multiplying on it. The air around it is wetter than a rainforest. And the fungi growing in that air are the same ones hospitals treat for invasive lung infections. Your washing machine cleans the dirt. Your dryer kills the bugs.

I'm from Jigawa State. I'll be voting for Baba Peter Obi in 2027. How about you?

The Vanderbilt Family were worth $200 billion in 1885 only 2nd to the Rockefeller Family in wealth then. By 1973 at the Vanderbilt family reunion, it was noted that none of the 120 descendants remained millionaires, showcasing the total depletion of the fortune. So yes, it is possible.

Her story needs to be taught just like Anne Franks was

Peter Obi has somehow become the benchmark for everything in Nigerian politics. Every new candidate is suddenly “better than Peter Obi.” Every speech is “more intelligent than Peter Obi.” Every policy conversation somehow circles back to Peter Obi; a man who isn’t even the President. Meanwhile, the actual President struggles through public communication and basic coherence during interviews, yet we’re constantly told we are dull for not understanding him. The irony writes itself.

Endometriosis!!! We don't talk a lot about Endometriosis. Many people having severely painful menstruation, painful penetration, pain etc and using analgesia And never seen a Doctor!! Endometriosis needs more awareness.

One major career experience shaped my thinking about big. I remember Africa Business Heroes, 2020 or so, Jack Ma: How many farmers do you work with? Us: 200,000 Jack Ma: How many farmers does Nigeria have? Us: 32million Jack Ma: You don't want it badly enough, I am afraid.

Your stomach has learned your routine. If you eat breakfast at 8am every day, your stomach is already pumping out the hunger hormone at 7:45am the next day, before you've even thought about food. A 2008 Purdue study measured it. Hunger is a clock your stomach learns from your eating habits. The cells that make the hunger hormone (ghrelin) keep their own schedule, separate from your brain. They sync to whenever you usually eat. Stick to the same meal times for two weeks and your stomach learns the new schedule. This is why skipping breakfast feels weirdly easy. Within 45 minutes of waking, your cortisol jumps 38 to 75 percent. It happens to 77 percent of healthy adults. Cortisol kills appetite. And ghrelin sits at its lowest point of the entire 24-hour cycle in the morning. Harvard's 2018 study in the International Journal of Obesity found ghrelin runs about 15 percent higher in the evening than the morning. If you do eat breakfast, especially something carb-heavy, a different sequence kicks in. Your blood sugar shoots up. Your pancreas dumps insulin. Insulin pushes the sugar into your cells fast, sometimes faster than your body wants. Two hours later, your blood sugar reads lower than where you started. Your brain sees the dip and reads it as hunger. Doctors call this a sugar crash. The cereal that "kept you going" set off the timer. About cereal. The phrase "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was published in 1917 by a dietitian named Lenna Cooper. She wrote it for Good Health magazine, published by John Harvey Kellogg's sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan. Kellogg sold cornflakes. The whole line was a marketing slogan. When you skip breakfast, none of that cycle happens. Cortisol does its appetite-killing job. Ghrelin stays low. After a couple of weeks, your stomach stops expecting a morning meal. The 7:45am signal goes quiet, and the cravings stop with it. Your body adapts to what you teach it. The morning hunger you feel is a habit your stomach picked up from your own routine.

About 300 genes shape your face. Each gene comes in different versions, one from each parent. When a kid happens to inherit versions matching one parent across most of those 300 spots, you get a tiny clone. When they don't, the kid can look like neither parent. Scientists have mapped most of those 300 genes. They still explain only 14% of why faces look different. Age explains another 7%. Your sex, 12%. Body weight, 19%. Almost half of what makes your face yours has no known cause yet. A 2017 King's College London twin study identified the most genetic parts of your face: the tip of your nose, the area around your lips, your cheekbones, and the inner corners of your eyes. Across studies, 40% to 80% of facial shape comes from your genes, depending on the feature. The chin and outer face sit at the lower end. Each parent's body produces over 8 million versions of an egg or sperm, shuffled randomly. Multiply mom's options by dad's, and any two of their kids have about a 1 in 70 trillion shot at getting the same combination. That's why brothers and sisters can look so different. The old idea that babies look more like their fathers came from a 1995 paper in the journal Nature by researchers at UC San Diego. They asked people to match baby photos to parent photos. People got dads right more often than moms. But no follow-up study has confirmed it. A bigger study by Paola Bressan in 2004 found babies resemble both parents about equally. Some lean toward mom. Some lean toward dad. Most are right in the middle. Researchers at the University of Central Florida ran a different experiment in 2014. They trained a computer to compare family photos. Sons resembled their dads 63% of the time. Daughters resembled their moms 82% of the time. So there's a small lean toward the same-sex parent, but it's not a rule. A kid who looks like a clone of one parent is what happens when 300 genetic dice land just right. The same two parents can roll those dice again and get a child who looks like neither of them. Same dice. Different game every time.

This is so sad 💔💔💔💔 cancer is a bitch and it’s keeps taking lives 💔💔

Le fait que des femmes aient créé des cagnottes pour cet homme, lui aient envoyé des lettres d’amour, de l’argent , des demandes en mariage, des nudes, alors qu’il a tué des femmes à mains nues, sera toujours un énorme mystère pour moi. Ça s’appelle de l’hybristophilie et ça me confirme qu’on ne peut clairement pas sauver toutes les femmes.

Cry for help!!! Please help my sister raise funds for her kidney transplant 🙏😭 Any amount would go a long way and be truly appreciated Please help me tag well meaning people and institutions 🙏 And please do repost to reach more audience. Thanks and God bless @Wizarab10
