What's the Color of YOur Heart?


As I sat at the train station in Rotterdam waiting to catch a train to Belgium, I couldn't help but notice the influx of people in and out. Different colors, nationalities, shapes, sizes. I just began to wonder what the color of their heart. I told myself I would ask a medical practitioner to shed more light on the human anatomy. Ofcourse I knew a little about that topic, having done Biology in Secondary School. But I was still curious to know from a professional's point of view.

What am trying to say is that, when a human is cut open, is there a difference in the heart for example. can you tell if a human heart belongs to a Nigerian or a Spaniard. Can you tell from a liver if it's Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or Urhobo? Does the heart of a Scandinavian look and function differently from that of a Briton?

I most certainly want to believe there is no difference. That's why organs can be donated by anybody. Some years back I read about how the rich in developed countries lure people from poor Asian and African countries  to donate their kidneys for money.

You and I are not different in our bodies and emotions. We are only different in our minds, our visions, aspirations etc. Variety is the spice of life. We all eat, sleep, cry, smile, love, hate, get angry, laugh, use the loo (number 1 & 2) et cetera et cetera.

However, we want different things from life. Thats why some men prefer lepa (slim) to (Orobo) curvy women. While some ladies like their man dark and others fair. hehehehe. I once overhead a man saying he likes his women to have flesh on them . If that man was a Nigerian I could have bet he was Yoruba. lol. Yoruba men like fleshy women. If you don't believe me...ask around . lol.

I just find it very interesting that we are so different yet the same. I find it interesting the complexity of human nature and the simplicity and uniformity of our anatomy.

Howbeit, I learnt recently that our skeletons and bone structure are different. A documentary I watched recently identified a human skull found at an ancient site in China to belong to a man from middle east Asia. How did they know? well..they did some........ ( it's a long story).

Tell me, what's your thought on this.

Living the Social Media Life


Days ago news emerged that Kim Kadarshian had been robbed at gunpoint in a Paris apartment. It was said that jewellery worth about  €7m was stolen from her. Five men got into her room, tied her up, gagged her and locked her in the bathroom. The thieves made away with 2 mobile phones and jewellery worth about €7m.

It was said that days before the robbery, she had posted a picture on Instagram showing a huge diamond rock on her finger. That  ring is estimated to be worth about €3m and its one of the jewellery stolen from her. Kim had been attending the Paris Fashion Show.

So why am I talking about it?

Well, some security analysts say the thieves may have been alerted to the ring via pictures she posted on social media. Or, the thieves may have seen her up and about in Paris. Some others say the thieves may have posed as Paparazzi and tailed her to her hotel. Investigations are ongoing.

A lot of folks nowadays live their lives on social media. They document all their life activities on social media. They check in on their present location in Facebook, post pictures of their going out and coming in on Instagram.When they go to the market it's on fb, when they go for holiday it's on Facetime when they go to toilet it's on snapchat,when they sleep it's on Twitter, they eat they post pictures on Instagram...everything about their lives is documented on social media.
They alert the world to all that's happening to them and open themselves up to security risks.

Some houses have been burgled because the owners posted their present location  on facebook thereby letting the robbers know that are not home.
Really, except your making money via regular updates on social media, then you should be careful what you post on sm.

Am not saying people shldnt update their status or be active online....but heyyyy be careful. Social Media has it's plenty pros. Businesses around the world have used socail media to boost sales.  People have become Insta-celebrities and millionaires. There is a lot of good on social media as well as bad. It's left to you to utilize it to your interests.

On other matters.I came across this on Twitter #RunwithOmojuwa. I sent a tweet asking what the run is about. I got a response from #Truppr explaining that the Run is to raise awareness about health living and exercise. So to all my readers in Abuja and Lagos, you may consider joining in.


So I leave you with these words "Be the best of you"

One Love!!!
