Dinge, die vor 100 Jahren normal waren, die jetzt seltsam sind

Der Mensch ist eine sich ständig entwickelnde Spezies. Einmal trugen wir Speere und schufen fantastische Kunstwerke an den Wänden französischer Höhlen. Heute tragen wir Smartphones und fahren über die Dinge, weil wir nie schauen, wohin wir gehen. Ja, die menschliche Spezies wird immer besser.


Seit der Industriellen Revolution haben sich die Dinge in einem so blindlings schnellen Tempo verändert, dass wir manchmal vergessen, wie seltsam die Welt früher war. (Weil es gar nicht mehr seltsam ist, oder?) Dinge, die früher alltäglich waren, scheinen heute seltsam oder sogar bizarr zu sein, obwohl es wahrscheinlich auch wahr ist, dass Menschen, die vor 100 Jahren gelebt haben, denken würden, dass die Dinge, die wir tun, ziemlich seltsam und bizarr sind. Leider haben wir keine Möglichkeit, tatsächlich ein Persona-YouTube-Video von jemandem zu zeigen, der einen Tide Pod isst. Aber wir können zumindest unsere eigene Sorge über die seltsamen und bizarren Gewohnheiten unserer jüngsten Vorfahren genießen, vor allem, weil es okay ist, sich über Menschen lustig zu machen, die seit Jahrzehnten tot sind.

Cross River State is a coastal state in South Eastern Nigeria, named after the Cross River, which passes through the state.

During the European scramble for Africa, Queen Victoria signed a Treaty of Protection with the King and Chiefs of Akwa Akpa, known to Europeans as Old Calabar on 10 September 1884. This enabled the United Kingdom to exercise control over the entire territory around Calabar, including Bakassi. The territory subsequently became de facto part of Nigeria, although the border was never permanently delineated. However, documents released by the Cameroonians, in parity with that of the British and Germans, clearly places Bakassi under Cameroonian Territory as a consequence of colonial-era Anglo-German agreements.

brief history of akwa ibom state

History Akwa Ibom State was created on the 23rd of September 1987 by the then Military Administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.  The creation of the State brought to fruition years of prolonged struggle by the people that occupied the mainland part of the former Cross River State. For many, the creation of the State was a mark of justice, having been left out in earlier state creation exercises despite leading in the struggle for state creation in Nigeria, through the Ibibio Union, - a foremost Socio-Cultural organization that served as a unifying platform for the people of this part of Nigeria.  In 1948, Ibibio Union, formed in 1928, transformed from a mere cultural association to a goal-driven institution which promoted and championed the cause of state creation in Nigeria. However, when in 1967 the 12 state structure was established following the creation of states by the General Yakubu Gowon administration, the Mainland part of Calabar Province in the then
