Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Brands and engagement on Social Media

By -

I stumbled upon the Instagram account of a Nigerian beer brand and their caption “celebrating friends” caught me. It is a tag that connects emotionally and can be easily bought into. The brand really makes a big deal of love and friendship with their #cityoflove campaign, hosting several events across Nigeria, inviting top music artistes. I went through their profile, they have about two thousands followers, average engagement level at 100. What! Are they doing well? They represent their brand with lovely pictures of their event, guests, videos of same and some stars behind the scene. The A list artistes will naturally attract attention to the brand and having clips of these serves well. Looking at the caliber of A list stars and the engagement levels, I felt something was lacking. Why is the engagement low? Are they are not speaking the customer's language? Let's examine this.. Why do people follow brands? Association, love, updates, passion, satisfaction from produc...

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Be Ready before You Commit

By -

Many people are in relationships, pairing with someone for different reasons, quite obviously and commonly is that "some" people do for their own sexual gratification. Some do for the attention they can get; perhaps, their supposed pair is someone with class or high social background. Some do too for recognition. Some do for some bucks. While a whole lot of others who are not in these other categories are probably because they are bored and tired of being alone. Relationship(s) is not all about a game of give and take, it is so much than that. By far, it is much more than commitment so just before you start getting over your head about one, make sure you are truly ready to be in one. A mind that is unstable, a heart that have not had a good time to heal properly is bound to stumble or get stuck in a rebound relationship. By that "Rebound", I mean, finding someone to fill the space for the moment to avoid being alone and not because you really do care, "well m...

Love Should Not Blind You

By -
Image
Blindness is lacking all consciousness or awareness. Inability to perceive and lacking the sense of sight. Marriage is beautiful if You marry right! The person you decide to marry is a reflection of your wisdom and deep knowledge at the time you married the person. You need to be alert when it comes to any type of relationship including Marriage. Prov 13:20 – He that walks with the wise shall become wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. So He that goes beyond just walking with the wise to marry the wise, communes, interacts, walks and negotiate and starts a family with the wise is really wise. Now how about he who decides not to only stay in the companion of a foolish person but moves to the level of marriage? It is a serious issue! Your relationship will determine the experiences of your life including marital relationship. ( Excerpts from Favour Osiri-Wisdom's new book – HOW NOT TO MARRY AN I.D.I.O.T.) By: Ekwe Chijioke

You are a Clay in the Potter's Hands

Do you sometimes feel unworthy to be called God’s child? – You have too much baggage, too many wounds and too many scars, or maybe you don’t feel smart enough or spiritual enough to be used by God. If so, then you are not alone. l used to feel inadequate and I believed l don’t have enough qualifications and experience for God to use me. What I did not realize is that God loves to use jars of clay to reveal His Glory. He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. When something beautiful flows from an ordinary vessel, it’s both surprising and inspiring. Ask God to show you what matters most. Your heart or your hands. You are a clay in the potter’s hand. You are not beautiful in yourself but You are beautiful in Him. Try to forget yourself and all your inadequacies and allow his Glory to shine forth from You. The question is: What is in your hands? Are you ready to give it to God to use it for his Glory? 1 Corinthians 1 vs 27 By: Emmanuel Christian

The Room for Improvement

By -
Image
The world hasn't ceased to evolve. The adversaries and competitors you are fighting are more intelligent than they were yesterday. They have been learning just as you have too. Even when you refused to learn or grow, they did not relent. When you took days off at the weekend, they didn't. This calls for continuous betterment. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. Isaac Newton said, "What we know is a drop but what we don't know is an ocean." More so, remember that you can't solve today's problems with yesterday's knowledge. By: David Akinwale
