Hi people, what's been on.....


See the topic?

Who said she loves genetics??? Lol!


So, I was reading Geri's blog and I saw something that made me laugh. Someone asked her if she was a 'real' Nigerian....ermmm....are there fakes?

Then I posted Lade's picture as my dp on BBM and I got the 'She can't be a real Nigerian'....

Is Lade a 'real' Nigerian?

Why these questions/statements?

....because it is erroneously believed that Nigerians' cannot have long hair without being mixed or without the use of extensions or some secret growth potion......


In summary, Nigerians just don't have the genes for long hair in them.....and current evidence seem to support this because really......how many Nigerians do you see on the streets with their own hair (not their weaves) flowing behind them in the wind?!.......*crickets*


So is long hair due to genes?


Yes and No.


 Let me tell you why.....

"Follow me please.....be careful with the chemicals please...."

The Science of Hair Growth





There are three stages of hair growth.


a. The Anagen - The stage of hair growth. Your hair root is still attached and well nourished by blood. This stage lasts from between 2-6 years and the number of years is determined by your genes. So if your anagen is 2 years, after two years, the old hair gets ready to be replaced by a new one.

Interesting to note, have you ever wondered why the hair on your arms, legs and eyebrows don't grow to your ankles?

 It's because thanks to our genes, we've been saved from a real hairy situation by having very short anagen phases for those parts.......that is unless you have an inherited syndrome like the Wolfman Syndrome......which again is genetic.



b. The Catagen - This is the stage where your hair is gradually cut off from blood supply as it gets ready to shed. The hair is no longer firmly attached. It lasts about 3 weeks.


c. The Telogen - This stage is where your strands say bye bye to the hair world. You'll notice a tiny white bulb at the end of the strands when you see it on your comb or sink. Luckily it left a little baby hair behind that will grow out again for the next 2-6 years and the cycle continues.


So that's the biography of your hair strands.


How long does your hair grow within this anagen period?


Well that depends on how long your gene predetermined anagen phase is.

You see, we the science geeks have calculated that on average, your hair grows between 0.5 inches to 1 inch per month. So let's picture this.

Assuming your genes acknowledges that the hair on your head has to grow longer than an eyelash and decides to 'dash' you the slowest growth of 0.5 inches and the shortest anagen phase of 2 years (which I doubt most Nigerians have) , in that two years, if my calculations are correct, you will record a total growth of 12inches......not bad huh???

 In visual terms, that's about shoulder to bra length.

Also note that the hair doesn't all go Telogen at the same time so it's unlikely that you'll end up bald or with a compulsory hair cut after two years. It's all done in a way you wouldn't even notice......our genes would make good butlers right?!


And an even better news is that Nigerians are genetically programmed to have hair blowing in the wind.......like Elton John's candles....yeah!





So you may ask? Where does all that hair go in two years.....how come 10 years later, we are stuck with chin length hair?


Well, the lab is getting quite stuffy....so let's meet up again!



Class dismissed!

Blown out like a candle in the wind: It is thus wild and extremely delusional to assume that at the level of presidency of the federal republic of Nigeria; Nigerians can settle for a man driven by inordinate ambition and unprecedented contradiction. Sadly PitObi may not apologize.

Of all the scents that remind me of rain, the smell of the earth after the first rain and the smell of the white and red Ixora flowers in our garden when they start blossoming are my favorites. Scented candles capture many scents and some of them capture the scent of seasons better than others. Here are scented candles that capture the many different scents of rain and can freshen and liven up your home.

I look forward to starting this journey and having fun with you.

Then we also tweaked fragrance. We had trouble maintaining consistency in fragrance so we went back to the drawing board and did a little bit of research. We wanted our candles to smell more like their names and this took a lot of experiments. We came up with the closest possible smell for our seasonal candles.

Families and communities gather each day to light a candle and reflect on one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, or Nguzo Saba in Swahili. On December 26, the holiday kicks off with a meditation on unity (umoja), followed by the principles of self-determination (kujichagulia), collective work and responsibility (ujima), cooperative economics (ujamaa), purpose (nia), creativity (kuumba), and faith (imani).

The do-it-yourself kits are replacing candles, kerosene lighting and diesel generators that are costly and have health and safety risks. But what is making them increasingly popular is how easy they are to pay for.

What is this red-brown material, and why is it still present on Benin sculpture? Many believe that the red patina is merely wind-blown soil, the "red dirt of Benin" as described by British soldiers who collected the sculptures from palace storerooms. However, conservation treatment has shown us that rather than a friable layer of dust it is a very hard and compact material, difficult to separate or remove from the metal surface. Modern analysis has identified the red material as a fine iron-rich clay identical to the clay used for the casting core, and that it exhibits some mineralogical characteristics of a material subjected to high heat. This suggests that the material is actually the remains of the original fired investment layer, the initial clay coating that was applied to the surface of the wax model but never completely removed from the cast metal after firing.

Nigeria, like other countries in Africa, is vulnerable to climate change in areas such as agriculture, energy, health, biodiversity, land use and water resources [20]. Odjugo [21] added that Nigerian citizens, buildings and social infrastructures are vulnerability to climate change due to wind, rainstorm, flooding and erosion. This is consistent with Enete and Ezenwanji [22] assertion that Nigeria will felt the impacts of climate change more because of the continuous increase in the sea level along her 800-km long coast time, flooding and erosion disasters, land degradation and worsening desertification. Alawa, Asogwa and Ikelusi [23] stated further that the conventional farming practice among Nigerian farmers, which involves setting fire on agricultural lands and other residues contributes significantly to the CO2 emission and thus, increase climate change issues. Likewise, Agbola and Fayiga [24] claimed that emission of greenhouse gases from open burning, gas flaring, use of solid fossil fuel for cooking, vehicle emissions and deforestation are the major sources of climate change in Nigeria. This is consistent with Mbah, Ezeano and Saror [25] conclusion that bush burning, deforestation, burning of firewood for cooking, use of inorganic manure, overgrazing of farmland by livestock and increase in population, which leads to loss of farmland are the significant sources of climate change. Arguably, the potential impacts of climate change on Nigeria will affect the entire environmental, social and economic landscape. 2351a5e196
