Our Ancestors were not fools.

Our Ancestors were not fools.

When strange or bad things happen, they ask God questions and look for a solution, they don't thank him.
When they want food, they go to farms they don't go to pray in their shrines.
When any of them commits sin, he is punished to deter others from doing the same, they don't tell God to forgive him.
When they want money, they sell their farm and fish products or anything they learnt how to produce, they don't pray to God to give them.
When they are sick, they go to an herbalist or make use of herbs and roots that can cure the sickness, they don't wait for miracles.
When they want a wife, they investigate the would-be in-laws, they don't pray in the shrine for signs and wonders.
When one of them dies, they come together and bury him, they don't calculate and request the payment of his shrine levies before burial.
The village Chief priest has his own farm and works to sustain his family, he doesn't wait for tithes.
Their wives respect and call their husbands Nna anyị (Daddy) and not the chief priest.

Our ancestors never built a big house or a wealthy shrine for their God and live in trenches, rather they built poor huts for Him while they live in wealthy houses with a large compound because a God doesn't need a house he live within and around you. #afrique #black #africa

After 37 years of marriage. Jake dumped his wife for his Young secretary. His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Edith's multi-million dollar home and since the man's lawyers were a little better he prevailed. He gave Edith his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes crates and suitcases. On the 2nd day she had to movers come and collect her things. On the 3rd day she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly the house began to smell. They tried everything cleaning mopping a

The WW1 Sexual Liberation.

Image
 The WW1 Sexual Liberation. We tend to think of WW1 as the blood, mud and slaughter of the trenches, plucky young public  schoolboys off to fight for King/Kaiser and country, everyone in uniform and vast amounts of patriotic duty. What we tend to forget is the increase in STDs, pregnancy, back street abortions, rise of homosexuality and the booming prostitution industry. Prostitution and warfare go hand in hand throughout history, name a war or siege lines and somewhere there will be a pimp or madam with their girls/boys turning a trade.  The British Army had always turned a blind eye to it, they encouraged their troops not to engage in the trade but it was accepted that it happened and still does although officially it’s against Kings Regulations. During WW1, each new recruit was given a note from Lord Kitchener to not participate in the “wine and women of France”, this also applied to back home in Blighty. Around the garrison towns, departure docks and the new training camps popping

Meet Lisa Spark, the Woman Who Broke World Record For Sleeping With 919 Men In 12 hours

Meet Lisa Spark, the Woman Who Broke World Record For Sleeping With 919 Men In 12 hours Lisa Sparks, a mature actress from the United States who goes by the stage name Lisa Sparxxx, is believed to have slept with 919 men in a single day, according to the person who holds this rather questionable record. Technically, she was able to do the dubious accomplishment in less than 12 hours. Lisa Sparks created this as an alternate odd file on October 16, 2004, in Warsaw, Poland, during the Eroticon 2004 person conference. Lisa Sparks is a writer and actress. The assignment was assigned to the actress as part of the Third Annual World Gang bang Championship, in which she was previously pitted against two separate female competitors. Lisa defeated the opposition by ingeniously being penetrated by 919 men throughout a 12-hour period of time, which was quite unusual. A total of forty-five seconds were allotted to the guys with the actress in order to establish a new world record. A former world r

Many Westerners know about the horrors that have happened on their side of the world throughout history.

Many Westerners know about the horrors that have happened on their side of the world throughout history. But, all too often, when an atrocity happens on the other side of the world, people don't hear much about it. Alongside all the catastrophes that plagued Europe during World War II, the atrocities committed in Southeast Asia were every bit as disturbing.⁠ ⁠ And few of the atrocities committed in Asia during World War II were as terrible as the Nanking Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking. In the mere six weeks during which the Japanese perpetrated the Nanking Massacre starting on December 13, 1937, an estimated 20,000 to 80,000 Chinese women were raped and sexually assaulted by Japanese soldiers while at least 300,000 civilians were killed.⁠ ⁠ They sometimes went door-to-door, dragging out women and even small children and violently gang-raping them. Then, once they'd finished with their victims, they often murdered them. Such killing wasn't just an act of sensele

Since its rediscovery in 1912, experts have been trying to decode the Voynich manuscript, a 600-year-old text written in an unknown language and featuring cryptic illustrations of everything from stars and planets to plants and naked women. Now, researchers believe they may have decoded one section of this elusive text. After examining the Rosettes, the manuscript's largest illustration, and comparing it to gynecology and sexology texts from the time the manuscript was made, researchers concluded that the illustration may contain coded information about women's sexuality. Many medieval writers were conservative in their views of women's sexuality and self-censored their work to keep knowledge of "women's secrets" from reaching sex workers, children, and common folk, fearing that such knowledge would encourage extramarital sex.

In the 1800s, Scottish surgeon Robert Liston became infamous for a surgery that led to an astonishing 300% mortality rate, losing his patient to infection, accidentally amputating his assistant's fingers, who also died of infection, and slashing a spectator who died from heart attack. While amputating another patient's leg, he broke his personal record by finishing the surgery in two and a half minutes. However, in the interest of speed, he chopped off the patient's testicles along with his leg. He also once mistook a lump in a young boy's neck for a skin tag and removed it suddenly at the boys home. The lump turned out to be an aneurysm of his carotid artery, and the boy died. Keep in mind that in those times there was no anesthesia and that speed and cleanliness were the only skills. Known as "the fastest knife on West End," Robert Liston was particularly skilled at quick amputations. Where most surgeons at that time lost one in four patients, due to his spe

"CUPPING" IN AFRICAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE DATES BACK TO 2200 BC

Image
"CUPPING" IN AFRICAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE DATES BACK TO 2200 BC Cupping was used in Mesopotamia as early as 3300 BC, and later in Egypt around 2200 BC. Some 2000 years later, the Greeks and Romans also made use of cupping therapy. Hippocrates (460-359 BC) used cupping, mainly for treating pain and infections, and in gynecology. His theory was that cupping could be used to draw out disease. Cupping increases the flow of blood to the skin, without damaging the skin. The body then goes about repairing the bruising that this causes. My grandmother who died in 2011 at the riped age of 109 years practiced cupping. It was called "Imi mbubo" in my language. She never visited any hospital in her life time. When she turned her back, you will noticed small razor cut lines on her back. It was the various places where the cuppings were placed. Even as a small kid then, I noticed that the medicine man was invited from a distant land to do the "mbubo" on her. On the proc

The biggest cover up and never hardly talked about issue in slavery was the rape and torture of black men.

The biggest cover up and never hardly talked about issue in slavery was the rape and torture of black men. When the plantation owners overseer and trustee slaves would rape little boys and men as punishment and to humiliate the masculine less submissive males on the plantation.  The defiant slave’s male children were required to be front and center while the horrific acts were taking place in an effort to break them down mentally at an early age as they witnessed their father’s humiliation. Sadly, the process was successful. In fact, the disturbing process evolved into a “Sex Farm” practice where slaves were put on display for the twisted sexual desires of homosexual slave owners. Breaking the buck process evolved into what was known as “sex farms.” With disturbing sex farms, slave owners would put enslaved Blacks on display for their friends to see. Slaves were forced to have orgies while being watched by white men who’d come from other plantations. In many cases, the white men would
