Shame plant with the botanical name Mimosa pudica. We call it pàdímọ́/patanmọ́ in Yoruba (close your laps) because it closes up when you touch or shake it and reopens later.
According to scientists, the rapid folding is thought to deter herbivores (by making the plant look less appetizing or shaking off insects) and may reduce water loss or overheating
This is one plant our researchers need to work more on. Previous research has shown that it majorly possesses antibacterial, antivenom, antifertility, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, aphrodisiac, and various other pharmacological activities.
"Perhaps one of the most publicised cases associated with his platform involved a woman popularly known as Mummy Zee, whose family’s financial struggles attracted widespread empathy and support from Nigerians. The intervention, the lawyer noted, transformed their fortunes almost overnight, attracting cash gifts, accommodation support, household items and other donations."
My family can never forget him.
May the very best light your world sir Dickson, God bless you.
Did you know that peacocks and peahens have a Bluetooth kind of connection? Did you know that peacocks and deer have something in common? Read on
First, let me remind you that the general name for these birds is peafowl. Only the male is called a peacock while the female is known as a peahen.
If you check the head of the peahen in this picture, you'll see some straight feathers on her head. They're called the crest. Even though both males and females crest, they serve more than ornamental roles for peahens. It serves as a sensor that picks signals from the male's tail feathers.
When male peacocks rattle their tails to attract females, the female sees the display and feels it in her crest. This helps her pick the best male for mating.
On what they have in common with deer, they both shed what helps them get laid and grow stronger ones in the following season. Remember that deer shed their antlers 🫎 and grow stronger and more-branched ones the following season? The same goes for peacocks. At the end of every mating season, a peacock will undergo a molting process in which it will naturally shed its feathers and regrow them longer and fuller ahead of the following mating season.
Thank you
Brother , the real ones here know you are a great guy , you have given me gigs and supported me from day one . God will continue to lift and bless you brother. We love you 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️
The Nigeria Police Force claims that the reported video was misleading. That the heavily armed men on bikes were members of a Vigilante Group and registered hunters. Pls @PoliceNG explain to us:
1. How a vigilante group is allowed to wear an army uniform.
2. Why a vigilante group is carrying heavy machine gvns.
3. Why some are masked up and don't have recognized uniforms like all vigilante groups in Nigeria.
4. Why the people in the video are loud and constituting a nuisance on roads.
Now since you claim these people are hunters, why are they allowed to posses machine guns that isn't authorized for civilians?
Once again, explain to the public why a vigilante or hunter is on army camouflage.
