Incredible Human Talent & Skills, Nairobi (2025)

28/09/2024

The most intelligent family in England and certainly in the world, is African and originally from Nigeria. They are in the Guinness Book of Records as the most intelligent family in England.

In the Imafidon family, there are twins Peter and Paula, who obtained the equivalent of high school at the age of 9 and became the youngest to attend the University of Cambridge, where they broke the record for mathematics at this university. In addition, both are national champions in sports disciplines.

The funny thing is that this record was brought before them by their older sister Cristina Imafidon, who had obtained high school at the age of 11 and at 14 was pursuing a master's degree in mathematics and statistics.

But this is not all, there is also sister Samantha Imafidon who was in 3rd grade at 8 years old. And who is the UK national 100m champion? Imafidon children break all records.

His father is a famous professor at Oxford University

N Xau, a local who played in the film “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” earned $300 in the first film. He was 36 years old when he first encountered money.

He didn’t know how to spend it. Coming from a culture that didn’t value material things, he didn’t have the skills to manage his income, although he used the money he earned to build his family a brick house with water and electricity.

He earned $80,000 in the second film, released in 1989. He quickly learned about money and capitalist life. With the fame that followed, he traveled all over the world and acted in other films.

He went to America, Paris, and Japan.

He became a figure used by the white man. He became addicted to alcohol and ci******es. His money ran out. After 1997, he returned to the Kalahari desert with his wife Kora, four daughters, and two sons.

He lived a modest life here with his tribe and family, farming until 2003. In July 2003, Xau left his house to collect firewood and didn’t return for three days. His family searched for him for days.

On the 4th day of the search, he was found dead in a field.

The police still have not announced the cause of Xau's death.
The leading actor of the movie that we watched and laughed at dozens of times actually had a sad story. In fact, it was not his fault.

The people of a geography where there was no material wealth and only a struggle for survival were introduced to the capitalist order, money and other pleasures, and perhaps the gods must have gone crazy.

John D. Rockfeller - Unwitting Stewardship:

John D. Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.

By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.

But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers.

An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.

As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realization of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.

He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller established his Foundation.
This new direction eventually led to the discovery of Penicillin, cures for Malaria, Tuberculosis and Diphtheria.

But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98.

Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.

Before his death, he wrote this in his diary…

“God taught me, that everything belongs to Him, and I am only a channel to comply His wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday thereafter; Full of work and full of play, I dropped the worry, on the way, and God was good to me every day.”

-John Davison Rockefeller, July 8, 1839 - May 23, 1937

In the 4th century BCE, women were not allowed to study medicine.

Because of this, a young woman named Agnodice cut her hair and entered Alexandria medical school dressed as a man.

While walking the streets of Athens after completing her medical education, she heard the cries of a woman in labour.

However, the woman did not want Agnodice to touch her although she was in severe pain, because she thought Agnodice was a man.

Agnodice proved that she was a woman by removing her clothes without anyone seeing and helped the woman deliver her baby.

The story would soon spread among the women and all the women who were sick began to go to Agnodice.

The male doctors grew envious and accused Agnodice, whom they thought was male, of seducing female patients.

At her trial, Agnodice, stood before the court and proved that she was a woman but this time, she was sentenced to death for studying medicine and practicing medicine as a woman.

Women revolted at the sentence, especially the wives of the judges who had given the death penalty.

Some said that if Agnodice was killed, they would go to their deaths with her.

Unable to withstand the pressures of their wives and other women, the judges lifted Agnodice's sentence, and from then on, women were allowed to practice medicine, provided they only looked after women.

Thus, Agnodice made her mark in history as the first Greek female doctor, physician and gynecologist.

This plaque depicting Agnodice at work was excavated at Ostia, Italy.

REINCARNATION

Without mentioning the most famous case, that of Dorothy Eady who claimed to have lived in ancient Egypt, there is the case of Shanti Devi, an Indian woman born in 1926 in Delhi, India, and died in 1987.

Already at the age of four, she began to speak of her past life, her husband, and her two children; she had lived with her husband in the city of Mathura where he owned a clothing shop, that her past name was Chaudine and she had died giving birth to her third child.
Her parents let her be, convinced that these were only the fantasies of a child.

It was only when her statements about her past life became more persistent that they began to worry. Shanti often spoke of the foods she cooked for her family, the streets of Mathura, etc. The older she grew, the more Shanti told stories of her past life, insisting with her parents to take her to Mathura.

One day her teacher, intrigued, sent a letter to the address of her supposed husband describing the situation and, to his surprise, the man confirmed everything, from the wife's name to that of the children, the address and his relatives; everything said by Shanti corresponded, even the color of the house. The teacher asked Shanti's "husband," Pandit Kedarnath Chaube, to come to Delhi to meet her but the man, fearing a scam, sent his cousin asking to present himself with his name. When the man arrived at the station, Shanti was not deceived, recognizing her husband's cousin immediately and revealing further details of the house, her children, and her "husband."

Shocked, the man returned home and told everything to the cousin, convincing him to go to Delhi to meet her but Pandit was not yet fully convinced, so when the cousin knocked on Shanti's house door, he introduced him as his brother. This time too, the girl was not deceived and pointed out Pandit as her husband in the other life.

At dinner, she had Pandit's favorite dishes prepared and as proof of her reincarnation, she described the house and the place where she had hidden her personal jewels and a sum of money.

When Pandit and his cousin took the train to Mathura, the girl wanted to go with them but was not allowed. Later, she was invited by Pandit to visit his house with her parents and the girl made the journey without getting lost, proving she knew those streets well although it was the first time she visited that city.

Upon arrival, she recognized all her "neighbors" by name, although she had never seen them before, describing their houses and children, scolding Pandit because he had painted the house a different color, leaving the man once again astonished.

During the meeting, she recognized her children, including the one she had never known, telling things that only Pandit's deceased wife could know and describing the transition period between one body and another.

When it was time to say goodbye, she cried at the thought of having to leave her children again but always stayed in touch with her previous family.

The girl became very famous in India to the point of being introduced to Mahatma Gandhi and many members of the Indian Parliament. In 1935, a special commission of inquiry was established on her case, concluding that Shanti Devi was a true case of reincarnation.

This is the most documented past life case in history, not only for the investigations that have been done but because the subject did not describe a life in distant epochs but the one immediately preceding, providing at the same time testimonies and direct evidence.

Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) – The story of the man who never gave up on his dreams.

Rowan Atkinson was born in a middle-class family and suffered terribly as a child because of his stuttering. He was also teased and bullied at school because of his looks. His bullies thought he looked like an alien. He was soon marked a strange and became a very shy, withdrawn kid who didn’t have many friends, so he dived into science, one of his teachers said.

There was nothing outstanding about him. Admitted to Oxford University during his days, he started falling in love with acting but couldn’t perform due to his speaking disorder.

He got his master’s degree in electrical engineering before appearing in any movie or TV show after getting his degree, he decided to pursue his dream and become an actor so he enrolled in a comedy group but again, his stammering got in the way.

A lot of TV shows rejected him, and he felt devastated but despite the many rejections. He never stopped believing in himself. He had a great passion for making people laugh and knew that he was very good at it.

He started focusing more and more on his original comedy sketches and soon realized that he could speak fluently whenever he played some character. he found a way to overcome his stuttering and his also used there is an inspiration for his acting.

While studying for his master’s Rowan Atkinson co-created the strange, surreal, and now speaking character known as Mr. Bean.

He had success with other shows, Mr. Bean made him globally famous and despite all the obstacles, he faced because of his looks and his speaking disorder, he proved that even without a heroic body or a Hollywood face, you can become one of the most loved and respected actors in the world.

The motivational success story of Rowan Atkinson. It’s so inspiring because it teaches is that to be successful in life, the most important things are passion, hard work, dedication and never giving up, because without caring about our feelings and weaknesses.

Moral of the story:

No one is born perfect. Don’t be afraid. People can accomplish amazing things every day in spite of their weaknesses and failures. So go and do the best you can with the one life you’ve got.

Venus and Serena Williams

In 1980, a man named Richard turned on his television and saw a female player from Romania receiving a check for $40,000 after winning a tennis tournament.

The whole scene was enough to shock Richard. This was a far more than his annual salary.

WITHIN A FEW YEARS, HE DECIDED THAT HIS YOUNG DAUGHTERS WOULD ALSO PLAY TENNIS.

After turning off the television, he sat down and wrote a 78-page document outlining a plan for his two young daughters to flee their hometown of Compton, California, an area known for notorious black gangster violence.

But there was also a problem that Richard didn't know anything about tennis, he didn't have the money to pay for his daughters to train for this expensive sport, and maybe it's incredible to you that his daughters weren't even born at that time.

Over the next five years, he collected tennis-related magazines and video cassettes. He also taught himself to play tennis. Five years later, according to his plan, Richard had a tennis racquet in the hands of his two daughters, the same magazines and videos and what he had learned from them.

Now, he was the father and coach of these little girls, he began to teach them the game of tennis.

Poor Richard would sometimes go to local country clubs to collect used tennis balls from bins and load them into a shopping cart, so that his daughters could practice with them on public tennis courts, since he was unable to afford the basics for them.

He was overprotective and physically strong as a father, and was often beaten by local gang bullies while trying to protect his daughters from harassment during trainings.

On one occasion when he refused to leave the practice court with his daughters, they broke his nose, jaw and fingers, and knocked out several of his teeth.

Richard got home with his daughters, opened his diary, and wrote: "After today, history will remember the 'toothless' man as a monument of courage."

Since tennis was a predominantly white sport at the time, people would stare and shout at the black family as Richard and his daughters traveled to various tennis courts for junior tournaments.

Once the girls asked, "Daddy, why do people stare at us so badly," he replied, "Because they are not used to seeing such beautiful people before."

The wheel of time turned quickly and the calendar page turned sharply to the year 2000, when a tall, lean black girl set out on a journey to play at the Wimbledon tournament final, and thousands of miles away from her native ghetto, Richard watched his eldest daughter play on the grass in front of London's elite, celebrities and royalty.

That was the time When no one had ever seen a tennis player with such a powerful serve and fast footwork, nor had they ever heard shots so loud.

It's like every ball is being beaten and every ball is crying out in pain because she played with vigour.

When the girl reached a stage where victory was ahead of fear, the girl looked at her father standing in the stands who was encouraging her to achieve victory by shouting loudly, as he has always told his daughters, that "One day, we're going to win Wimbledon, and it's not going to be for us. It will be for the helpless and poor people of America."

RICHARD'S 20-YEAR-LONG STRUGGLE PLAN HAD NOW REACHED A CRITICAL POINT IN HISTORY.

As the opponent's ball hit the net, cameras caught a teary-eyed Richard dancing wildly as he watched his daughter Venus Williams win the first of her seven Grand Slam titles.

Over the next several years, Richard also watched his youngest daughter Serena Williams win 23 major tournaments and become one of tennis greatest players of all time.

For all their success on the tennis court, what Venus and Serena endured off the court is the most impressive part of their father‘s journey.

The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen:

"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper using a barometer."

One student replied, "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."

This highly original answer so incensed the instructor that the student was failed. The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case.

The arbiter judged that answer was indeed correct, but did not display knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer, which showed at least a minimal familiarity the principles of physics.

For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use.

On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows,
"Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer."

"Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper."

"But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the restoring force T = 2 pi sq. root (l /g)."

"Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up."

"If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into meters to give the height of the building."

"But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'."

The student was Niels Bohr, the only person from Denmark to win the Nobel Prize for Physics.

The Crazy Swede

Göran Kropp is most well-known for his beyond epic 1996 adventure when he rode his bike 8,000 miles from Sweden to Nepal, climbed Mt. Everest unsupported and without oxygen, and then biked home with his 170 lbs of gear.

He climbed such mountains as K2 and used rollerskating for his cardio workouts. His reasoning was that it moves your whole body, arms and legs, which is essential for high-altitude climbing. He also did a little weight-lifting, running, and climbing, of course.

Göran Kropp wasn't shy of adventure, and on a cold Swedish day in October 1995, he got on his self-modified bike, packed his gear (all 170 lbs of it), and then set off to Kathmandu. He took a mountain bike with some touring bike parts on it.

For example, he used slick tires when his tire went out and put on a luggage rack to hold his bags. Also, he put on lights and exchanged a gearshift to make it easier than a mountain bike. The journey to Nepal lasted 4 months and 6 days and took him through Romania, Turkey, Pakistan, and Iran. He decided he could make it with just one pair of underwear in order to save weight but still had a hack-of-a-load to carry. Why? Because this was a completely unsupported ride.

He would be taking everything he needed, except for food, all the way to the base of Mt. Everest— 7,693 miles, to be precise. Finding enough food was hard. He was a vegetarian and had to pick his food carefully. He would try and find the best food possible in restaurants and other places along the way. "I ate everything," he said in a letter interview but still lost 22 lbs on his way out.

He fixed 132 flat tires, was almost run over (intentionally), hassled by locals, laughed at, chased by dogs, had stones thrown at him, and assaulted with a baseball bat. From there, he left his bike at a hotel and carried his 143 lbs of climbing equipment to Everest Base.

On top of biking to Nepal unsupported, he also wanted to summit Everest solo without oxygen and any assistance from Sherpas to help with his equipment. On the 3rd of May, he was within a couple of hundred meters from the summit when he found himself waist-deep in snow, struggling to go any further. As darkness fell, he thought he might get stuck and didn't want to descend in the dark.

There were fixed ropes to help so he could have carried on, but his instincts said no, and he turned around back to basecamp.
While recovering at basecamp, disaster struck. A blizzard came in, killing eight trekkers, known as the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster; it was turned into a bestselling book by Jon Krakauer, "Into Thin Air." Kropp helped the relief crew and supported them in the recovery of the trekkers.

This shook him, but a man with this much determination would not be stopped. On the 26th of May 1996, he made his second attempt which took him to the top of Everest without support. Here he had made it to the top of the world. Do you think he must have got on the first flight home for a good rest? He jumped back on his bicycle and cycled the full 7,693 miles back home to Sweden.

His adventures didn't stop there; he later returned to Everest with his girlfriend, Renata Chlumska (an extraordinary adventurer in her own right), who supported him on his first trip and then went on to summit again in 1999. Like his last climb, he accepted no handouts and stuck true to being self-supported. As the years went on, he became more adventurous, and it wasn't just mountains.

In 2000, he and fellow Swede Ola Skinnarmo attempted to ski to the North Pole. Unfortunately, they had to abandon due to a frost-bitten thumb.

As the years went on, Kropp began to plan a new adventure. Although not a sailer, he decided to sail from Sweden to the McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, ski to the South Pole and back, and then sail back home.

In September of 2002, he took some time to go rock climbing in Washington State. Unfortunately, two safety rigging failures occurred on a 60ft climb, and the accident took his life at the age of 35.

DEATH OF INTELLIGENCE SENTENCING SOCRATES

One day in 399 BC, the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 Athenians. He was accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and "corrupting the youth".

Aguilty verdict could mean death. After six hours of arguments from Socrates and his accusers, the jury voted by placing "guilty" or "not guilty" discs into an urn. The verdict: guilty by 280 to 220.

The jury was asked to decide on Socrates' penalty, which his accusers argued should be the death penalty. When asked for his opinion, Socrates impudently suggested that he receive a government salary and free dinners for the rest of his life. His second suggestion was that he pay a small fine.

Athenians had come to expect no less from Socrates, a man who was widely hated by the city-state. According to Plato, his student and biographer, Socrates had become the "gadfly" of Athens when the oracle at Delphi had allegedly said no one was wiser than he.

Socrates regularly annoyed his fellow citizens: he enraged the polis, the political community, by criticizing democracy, a political system invented in Athens; and he embarrassed people with his Socratic method of questioning, which invariably exposed ignorance. Socrates was also associated with the Thirty Tyrants, who had briefly overthrown the Athenian government.

But now Socrates was about to receive his comeuppance.

His sentence was ex*****on, to be administered by his drinking a cup of hemlock. Plato was not present at the ex*****on, but his Phaedo recalls it from eyewitness accounts told to him.

This is what happened after Socrates had drunk the poison:

"Socrates walked around until he said that his legs were becoming heavy, when he lay on his back, as the attendant instructed. This fellow felt him, and then a moment later examined his feet and legs again. Squeezing a foot hard, he asked him if he felt anything?

Socrates said that he did not. He did the same to his calves and, going higher, showed us that he was becoming cold and stiff. Then he felt him a last time and said that when the poison reached the heart he would be gone. As the chill sensation got to his waist, Socrates uncovered his head (he had put something over it) and said his last words: 'Crito, we owe a c**k to Asclepius. Do pay it.

Don't forget.... after a while he gave a slight stir, and the attendant uncovered him and examined his eyes. Then Crito saw that he was dead, he closed his mouth and eyelids."

So ends the account of one of the most famous early poisonings in history, and with it Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.
