AMAZING: New Born Baby Walks Immediately After Birth [Watch VIDEO]

-

Doctors shared a video showing a baby walking a few minutes after being birthed has gone viral.


 The 41-second video was posted on Facebook by Arlete Arantes from Brazil on the 26th of May. It's unclear when the video was recorded.

 It has been viewed more than 78 million times, has more than 1.5 million shares and times and has collected over 325,000 (mostly incredulous) reactions.

 The University of Rochester Medical Center said the "walking" is not so much a miracle but a natural newborn reflex referred to as the "stepping reflex."

 It makes the baby appear to take steps or dance when held upright with his or her feet touching a solid surface. It lasts until the baby is about two-months-old and helps babies develop and survive.

 This however, hasn't restricted people from joking about the phenomenon.

 "Gotta stretch the legs after a 9 month journey," someone wrote on Reddit.

 "That baby's name: Usain Bolt," another person joked.

 "That kid is going places," someone else quipped.

One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
