     The African Planet could be termed a planet of "awe" as many peculiar things are attached to it. Ranging from ancient structures to histories and so on. This research about the African planet has brought another item of attraction, which is, the Ovahimba and Ovazimba tribes of Namibia.       The Ovazimba and Ovahimba tribes belong to the Omusati regions of Northern Namibia. They have a population of over 50,000. They are renowned Nomads.               .A Himba male.      Strange things about the tribe          1. The wealth of a family is determined by the number of cattle the family possesses.   2. The women take a smoke bath instead of a water bath.     3. At puberty, the girls are given out in marriage to men chosen by their fathers.    4 . The women possess reddish skins. This is caused by the application of the ojitze paste on their skin. This helps to protect them from the sun and mosquito bites. The ojitze paste is a combination of butter fat, omuzumb

   Truly, there exist tribes all over the world. Also, these tribes differ from one another in terms of their cultures and tradition but there exists a tribe in Zimbabwe that differs completely from other tribes from all over the world with something much more interesting. The tribe is known as the VaDoma tribe.                The  Doma  or  vaDoma  (singular  muDoma ), also known as  Dema , are a tribe living in the  kayemba region in the north of  Zimbabwe  especially in the Urungwe and Sipolilo districts around the basins of Mwazamutanda River, a tributary of the  Zambezi  River Valley.                What really makes this tribe so special?     The tribe is known to have people with the rare congenital abnormality known as  Ectrodactyly . Which brings about the absence of some toes or fingers. But theirs have to do with toes. Due to the similar appearance of their feet with that of ostrich, they are also called the Ostrich footed tribe. They never see this as an abnormal

   Looking at the above title , a lot of thinking would have started running through one's mind. But at this stage, everything connected to the origin of this virus is still a controversy.    In contrast to other precedent world wars, WW1 used humans as combatants, WW2 was the same too. Also in these two aforementioned wars, the major enemies were known. Using these two features, can we actually call this Corona virus global outbreak a  World War 3 (WW3)?.     It is true that there are bioweapons that can be used in wars. Can we actually call this virus a bio weapon? If it is , who are the Pioneers?                   Currently as it stands , the whole world is looking at China for a tangible answer. The Chinese government isn't claiming responsibility for the virus, instead it is pointing accusing finger at the the US government. Recently, the spokes person for the Chinese Ministry  for Foreign Affairs , Zhao Lijian , accused the military of the United

    Though the Corona virus cases are increasing in number everyday, I can see the world overcoming the Pandemic. These are my views about life after the Corona virus:   1.  A RACISM free world : After these global outbreaks of Corona virus, I believe the level of racisms will reduce drastically if not totally removed. This is because the Corona virus has brought about solidarity amongst people all over the world irrespective of the race. Ideas are being shared on how to eradicate the virus. This practice I think will continue after defeating the virus.           2 .  A Better government in Nigeria : With recent cases of Corona virus infections amongst top guns in the Nigerian politics, intense fears have originated amongst top officials of government in Nigeria. I think this will make the government officials more fearful of God's wrath and be more sincere in carrying out their responsibilities.      3.    A bio weapon free world : After this pandemic, I believe all th

         The Corona virus also known as Covid - 19 or SARS COV - 2 has struck the world with great fear and sadness. It has lead to the report of thousands of cases and deaths all over the world. With its source still a controversy, it was allegedly said to have originated from Wuhan , an industrial area under the Hebei province of China. China so far has recorded the highest number of cases and deaths due to Corona virus.    Iran, Italy, The UK, France, Germany, The USA and Spain trail behind China in the number of reported cases of the virus.    Though there is no proven cure for the virus yet , lots of precautionary measures are being released by medical bodies all over the world. These measures include washing of hands with soap and water or alcohol based hand sanitizers, social distancing , abstinence from hand shakes and hugs etc. There have been rumours surrounding the virus. Below are the answers by the WHO to rumours of things alleged to the virus.  1. 

  Since the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates of the country in 1914 and the naming of the country as Nigeria in the same year by Lady Flora shaw, Nigeria adopted temporarily the Nigerian pounds ( British pounds Sterling) as her currency of exchange.

 The bad shape of stadiums in Nigeria has been a major problem affecting the world of sports in Nigeria especially football. These stadiums lack maintenance. The infrastructures are being destroyed by agents of erosion.   One of the reasons behind the current bad shape of stadiums in Nigeria is that government, both state and Federal , embark on more stadia projects instead of maintaining and upgrading the existing ones. This has led to the fact that we have over thirty stadia in Nigeria but less than Ten that meet up with FIFA standards.    Another reason is the attitude of private organizations towards the development of stadiums. Capable private organizations pay little attention to the development of sports not to talk of developing the existing stadiums. Everyone is waiting for the intervention of the government.    Moreover, sport governing bodies in Nigeria aren't efficient in carrying out their duties. They only pay attention to stadiums when  international matches are t
