  Near the end of his life, Bob Marley was told by a doctor that he had "more cancer in him than I've seen with a live human being," and that he only had a few months to live, so "he might as well go back out on the road and die there." Three years earlier, the reggae icon had been diagnosed with melanoma under his toenail in 1977. Doctors removed the nail and the nail bed, but Marley refused to have the toe itself amputated to stop the spread of the disease, insisting that it violated his Rastafarian religious beliefs.  By 1980, the cancer had spread throughout his body, infecting his liver, lungs, and even his brain. Marley played his last show on September 30, 1980, in Pittsburgh, performing Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" during the soundcheck to the bemusement of his roadies, who didn't know anything was wrong. He died eight months later at the age of 36.

  Hurricane Bob  was the first  Atlantic tropical cyclone  to be officially designated using a  masculine name  after the discontinuation of  Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet  names. Bob brought moderate damage to portions of the  United States Gulf Coast  and areas farther inland in July 1979. The storm was the first hurricane in the  Gulf of Mexico  to form in the month of July since  1959 , and was the fifth tropical cyclone to form during the  annual hurricane season . 

  The city of Setenil in Spain, one of the strangest cities, its inhabitants live under the largest rock in the world since it was built by the Muslims in the days of Andalusia. Residents there enjoy a cold in the summer and warm in the winter, because the roofs of their homes are the same rock that prevents the penetration of heat or coldness.

  The city of Torino in Italy has become home to the first Italian sex doll brothel. The establishment named LumiDolls Torino opened on Monday and has become so popular that it’s been fully sold out for weeks. What really is going on in this world?

  The pineal gland is one of the greatest secrets hidden from us. The secret is not that the gland exists, the secret is its function. Medical students are told it's a crooked organ, but it's not The Pineal Gland is our third eye, it is the organ through which we dream and imagine and once it is activated it is also the organ that connects us to other dimensions of reality.

  In Zambia, one mushroom feeds a family for days. This is Termitomyces titanicus. Also found in West Africa, the largest edible fungus in the world and one more of our continent's extravagant works of nature!

𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓 - 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨'𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐒𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 On September 15, 1829, North America’s first Black President, Vicente Guerrero, Mexico’s second president ended slavery in Mexico over a quarter of a century before the United States ended slavery.   President Guerrero was elected president of Mexico 179 years before it’s northern neighbor elected Barack Obama as the first Black president of the United States.    

 What purpose did the metal Musk serve? 1) To avoid s|aves eating fruit like apples, pineapples, oranges, cashews, bananas, sugar, etc.. while harvesting them, however they were forced to work consistently on all plantation farms. 2) To stop s|aves from singing their African spiritual songs. Not only spiritual songs also those of war, thus affecting slave masters, as they would motivate them to rebel and f!ght. 3) Lest they teach their children the African local dialects (languages), forcing them to learn foreign languages. Sometimes s|ave masters would stick an apple in the mouth of enslaved before wearing the metal mask and locking the padlocks so they couldn't talk. This is just one of the thousands of inhuman treatments our ancestors went through for centuries at the hands of those invaders who gave us Christianity and the religions of mental slavery and brutally forced divisions on Africans.

  Never forget when Micheal Jackson decided to do a feature film that show cased the greatness of Black Africans in ancient Egypt, in the 90s!! This is the most accurate depiction of the Kemetyu Africans ever put in the mainstream media. His fr!ends Steven Spielberg and David Geffen refused to help M!cheal because of this, so he decided to finance the music video himself.

 Did you know Before the coming of Europeans and Arabs in Africa, people in various regions of Africa had been keeping and hunting chimp's for meat for generations.  Then after the scramble for Africa and after the first cases of HIV/AIDs were reported in the USA, a subspecies  of chimpanzees native to West Equatorial Africa  was identified as the original source of the virus. Western researchers believe that HIV-1 was introduced into the human population when hunters became exposed to infected blood. To the contrary, I believe HIV/AIDs in Africa might have been brought by foriegn scientists  who later passed the virus to the inoncent chimpanzee in a laboratory some where in the forests of West and Central Africa. There was not going to be an African generation if indeed truly HIV virus originated from the chimpanzee looking at the number of years that had passed from the time our forefathers started eating chimp meat. Dont forgot we once had a generation that w...

  He unified factions of Denmark with those in Norway much like how the technology we use today unifies different electronic devices. The Bluetooth logo is also a combination of the Nordic runes for his initials—H.B. As for how he got his nickname in the first place is up to debate. Some sources say that he loved to eat blueberries, which permanently stained his teeth blue. Others speculate that he had a dead tooth, which had a dark blue/grey colour.

Increased emotionality is not appreciated in Russian culture, in men it is condemned. Therefore he is sustained. Plus a specific professional training. He is a scout, and must be able to control his emotions.

 The Igobo Landing story Igbo Landing  (also called  Ibo Landing ,  Ebo Landing , or  Ebos Landing ) is a historic site at Dunbar Creek on  St. Simons Island ,  Glynn County , Georgia. It was the setting of a mass suicide in 1803 by captive  Igbo people  who had taken control of their slave ship and refused to submit to  slavery in the United States . The event's moral value as a story of resistance towards slavery has symbolic importance in  African American   folklore  as the  flying Africans  legend, and in literary history. In May 1803 a shipload of captive West Africans, upon surviving the  Middle Passage , were landed by U.S.-paid captors in  Savannah  by a  slave ship , to be auctioned off at one of the local slave markets. The ship's enslaved passengers included a number of Igbo people from what is now  Nigeria . The Igbo were known by planters and slavers of the American South fo...

  Idi Amin Dada sent love letters to the Q.ueen of E.ngland and asked her to marry him. He wanted to be the King of S.cotland. He declared himself the "Conqueror of the British Empire" and the "Last King of S.cotland," after Britain severed diplomatic ties with Uganda 🇺🇬 in July 1976. If the Q.ueen of England had accepted his proposal, the direction of that relationship would have brought about the unification of E.uropean and African p.rotectorates. He even ordered British to carry him.

  Hairy frogs sound like something out of a horror movie, but in reality, their unique adaptations are far more fascinating than scary! From its bizarre bony claws and the brutal process in which it forces it to pierce through its own skin to the strange “hairy” protrusions covering much of its body, the hairy **frog**, also known as the “**wolverine** frog” or “**horror** frog,” is perhaps one of the most unusual and visually striking animals in the world.

 This woman right here is the first Nigerian woman to buy a car By Chibuike Nnadi Her name is Efunroye Tinubu.  She was a very rich SLAVE TRADER.  In connivance with the portuguese, she exported her own people in ships to work in sugarcane farms in faraway Brazil, Caribbean, and on the gold mines of the United States. Yet the queen is to blame abi? The slavery we even cry about, was it not our own ancestors - kings and village chiefs that captured their own people for the whites to export? In exchange for what? - mirror, porcelain, spirits, dane guns etc. How can a sane human prefer worthless items to his own brothers and sisters - his own kinsmen??? These are the kind of ancestors we pour libation to. Yet we blame the europeans only, when our ancestors were actively complicit -  Sent In By Chibuike Nnadi

 The Story Of Attah Ameh Oboni - the Nigerian King who Chose Suicide Instead of Bowing to the Queen of England Attah Ameh Oboni was a revered Igala King. At a particular meeting held in Kaduna which consisted of all paramount traditional rulers in Nigeria and which had the queen of England in attendance, Attah Ameh was asked to remove his cap to greet the Queen of England as others had done. Though he refused until they said he should leave the meeting if he would not remove his cap. But Attah was not like others, or was he? It was a taboo for Attah to remove his cap in the public. The entire hall where they were staying was occupied by swan of bees which emanates from the cap of Attah Ameh Oboni which he removed in order to greet the Queen. The Queen of England as well as other rulers in the meeting ran helter-skelter except the friendly Oba of Benin who was asked by Attah Ameh to go out before he removed his cap. The hall became empty as some were stung by the bees and the meetin...

 Michael Jackson Despite Michael Jackson’s enormous success, the ‘King of Pop' had a NEGATIVE $500 million value at the time of his death. However, the star's estate still rakes in millions annually from royalties and other commerical interests. According to  Page Six ,  the Jackson children receive an astonishing $8 million annually from their father's estate . Since his death, each child has also received the best schooling and personal care (including a health stay for his daughter Paris to help her emotional recovery). In addition to their annual allowance, Paris and her two brothers are also in line to inherit a huge lump sum on reaching the age of 33, when each will inherit an equal portion of  half  of their father's estate - which is now estimated to be in the very healthy region of $2 billion under the careful management of creditors. Jackson was careful to ensure that each child learned to manage a smaller personal fortune before attaining their true s...
