Meet The Inventor Of The World’s Fastest Computer, Dr. Philip Emeagwali  Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 1954. Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees.

The french kiss was first known as maraichanage, a term to describe the prolonged, deep, tongue kiss practised by  the Maraichins, inhabitants of Brittany, France . It dates from at least the 1920s. It is derived from the idea that the French people are sexually liberated or even promiscuous. While the true origin of kissing remains a mystery,  historians have found in India the earliest references to the practice .
