The herdsmen were unhappy the farmers were released, insisting they must spend 48 hours in detention before any bail application. Therefore, the police detained them afresh. Osun Police Detain Farmers While Herdsmen Grazing on Their Farms Walk Free fij.ng/article/osun-p…

Hello @NUFC, there’s a kid somewhere in Africa that has refused to drink water until you get point(s) at the Emirates. Today, by not walking out of that stadium empty-handed, you save a kid’s life. The world is watching. Regards Toon Army, Nigeria.

I've dated 2 South African women and I learned a few things about them. Their life goal is to finish school, get a good paying job, buy a house, a car and set up trust fund for their future kids. They consider marriage but they don't see men as their sole providers or dependant. If you ask them why they'd tell you that South African men don't like to work. All they want is sex, alcohol and control. Their women have no other choice. Foreigners especially Nigerian men are their dream men because they provide and protect. This video tells you all these disgusting losers really care about.

Humans tried to tame horses 5,500 years ago. It didn't work. Those horses eventually went feral, and we had to start over 1,300 years later with a different bloodline. A group in Kazakhstan called the Botai kept horses for milk and meat around 3500 BCE. A 2021 Nature study read the DNA of 273 ancient horses and proved every horse alive today comes from a different population entirely. The successful domestication happened 4,200 years ago near the Volga and Don rivers. Those horses spread across Asia and Europe in 500 years, wiping out every other horse bloodline. Two tiny changes in horse DNA made it work. One mutation appeared about 5,000 years ago and made horses less jumpy. The other came 4,200 years ago and gave horses backs strong enough to carry a grown person; before that, they were the size of ponies. This is why chariots came first as the main use of horses, and regular horseback riding only became common centuries later. Before rideable horses reached the Middle East, the Sumerians made their own by crossbreeding domesticated donkeys with wild onagers, a wild Asian cousin of the donkey. Onagers can hit 43 mph and hold 31 mph for hours, with more endurance than any modern racehorse. But they bite, kick, and can't be trained. So Sumerians made a hybrid called a kunga, which kept the speed and dropped the temper. A kunga cost 40 times a donkey. It couldn't breed, so every generation had to be made fresh. These pulled the war wagons shown on the Standard of Ur, a Sumerian mosaic from 2500 BCE. It's the first known case of humans creating a new animal. Zebras are the longest-running failure. Romans raced them in chariots during the emperor Caracalla's reign, around 200 AD. The Dutch tried in the 1700s. Walter Rothschild even drove a zebra carriage up to Buckingham Palace in the 1890s to prove the point. Germans gave it a shot in colonial East Africa. None of it worked. Zebras dodge lassos with a quick ducking reflex, have no hierarchy you can slot into, and have spent millions of years evolving alongside lions. A single kick can break a lion's jaw. Jared Diamond ran the math on this. Out of roughly 148 large mammal species humans could have tamed, only 14 ever worked. The animal has to pass six separate tests: eat flexibly, grow fast, breed in a pen, stay calm, not spook easily, and follow a pack order. Miss one and the whole thing collapses. The earliest confirmed horse riders were the Yamnaya, a nomadic steppe people from north of the Black Sea. They left behind skeletons showing the specific hip damage and healed fall injuries you see in modern riders. Out of 156 adult skeletons studied, only 24 had the pattern. Even inside a horse-riding culture, most people still walked.

How many animals did humans have to try and ride before we found out horses were cool with it?

One of the indices of a functional society is how it treats its vulnerable. Ramps in supermarkets, gyms, churches, mosques, public centres. Tactile paving, audible signs on traffic poles, brailed sidewalks. Japan even has vibrating cones under pedestrian crossing boxes.

🥲❤️ This is why we say football is more than just a game... Carla has been the laundry worker for Dutch team Go Ahead Eagles for 27 YEARS. She is retiring from her job at the end of the season, so the club and fans honoured her before the match against AZ Alkmaar in an incredible way. A whole tifo was prepared for her. Carla had no idea about this. She was totally shocked. Incredible. 🫂

Nah. When I visit your country, I stay at the white (SAFE) neighborhoods like Camps Bay or De Waterkant (Cape Town) and Melrose Arch (Jo’Burg). Your broke ass is too scared of white people to come meet me there. So you look for immigrants in the lower class areas to attack.
