Did you know that…
…English is the official language of Nigeria and is extensively used for education, business transactions and for official purposes? Despite being the first language, English is not spoken at all in some rural areas. Because the majority of the population of the country stays in rural areas, indigenous languages such as the Yoruba and Igbo are spoken by the majority. A derived language called the Nigerian Pidgin English, also called the ‘Pidgin’ or Broken English is also a popular lingua-franca in the country.
And did you know that the Niger Delta covers 20,000 km² within wetlands of 70,000 km² formed primarily by sediment deposition (which makes it the second largest delta on the planet), and has the highest concentration of monotypic (sole member of biological group) fish families in the world?
…scholars nattered away at one another on such matters as the propriety ofstarting a vocal trill from the upper note, and a critics’ convocation nattered back.
You’ve interfered in our affairs for no reason at all, kidnapped us and locked us uplike monkeys in a zoo for the rest of our lives, and now you natter on about therich work of the mind!
THE PEOPLE I LIKE
I like the people that vibrate, that don’t need to be pushed, that you don’t have to tell them to do stuff, because they know what needs to be done and just do it.
I like the people that cultivate their dreams until those dreams take over their own reality.
I like the people that are able to face the consequences of their actions, people that risk what’s true for what’s uncertain to go after a dream, people that allow themselves to run from “sensitive advice” leaving solutions in the hands of our father God.
I like the people that are fair with their own people and themselves, people that are thankful for each new day, the good things existing in their life, people who live every hour with good enthusiasm giving their best, thankful for being alive, for being able to give smiles, for being able to offer their hands and help kindly, waiting for nothing in return.
I like the people that are capable of criticizing me constructively and up front, but without hurting me. People with tact.
I like the people with sense of justice. These are the people I call my friends.
I like the people that acknowledge the importance of joy and preaches about it.
I like the people that with jokes teach us to conceive life with humor.
I like the people that never stop being childish.
I like the people that are sincere and honest, capable of opposing with reasonable arguments to anyone’s decisions.
I like the people that are loyal and persistent, that fight tirelessly for their goals and ideas. I like people with criteria that are never ashamed of recognizing a mistake or recognizing ignorance about something. People that, when accepting their mistakes, genuinely make an effort not to make them again. People that fight against adversities. People that look for solutions. People that think and meditate. People that value their equals not by a social stereotype or how they look. People that don’t judge and don’t let others judge. I like people with personality. People capable of understanding that humanity’s biggest mistake is to try to get out of their head something that won’t go out of their heart.
Sensitivity, courage, solidarity, kindness, respect, peace, values, joy, humility, faith, happiness, tact, trust, hope, gratitude, wisdom, dreams, regret, and love for others and oneself are fundamental things to be called PEOPLE.
With people like this, I can commit to anything for the rest of my life, because just by having them next to me, I consider myself well rewarded.
—Mario Benedetti
Scientists such as Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, and Edward Teller claimedthat only by uniting in a world government the peoples could avoid internecinenuclear wars…
…Rotary does not support the views of the United States, or England, or France, orGermany, or any other country, but simply takes the stand that the disarmamentconference must succeed unless the world is to set up another internecinecompetition in armaments, leading to a more terrible war, perhaps fatal to ourcivilization.
Did you know that New Zealand has three official languages: English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language and that there are more vending machines in Japan than there are people in New Zealand?
And did you know that in 2008, TripAdvisor named Milford Sound (pictured below) the world’s top travel destination?
In the shadow under the green visor of the cap Ignatius J. Reilly’s superciliousblue and yellow eyes looked down upon the other people waiting under the clock atthe D. H. Holmes department store, studying the crowd of people for signs of badtaste in dress.
Is it true that, from an appreciation of the lustre which would reflect back uponhimself from allowing his son to become a decidedly fashionable young man, hehad encouraged him in extravagance, dissipation, and heartless worldliness; hehad brought him up to be supercilious, expensive, unprincipled, and useless.

Did you know that Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel which he politely declined?
And did you know that all Jewish people who are between 18 and 26 years old are entitled to a free 10-day trip to Israel?
My house is definitely the best one in CDL 🙂
