I'm a 100% Nigerian. I've never even been to Cotonou not to talk of America. But i'm more familiar with some of these places than some people that live there.

O_O shocked

afam4eva: @manny4life I'm not working towards being an American. Nothing can change my Nigerianess. What i want to know is why and how the America anthem could have an effect on me and not the Nigerian anthem.
^
Because the American anthem has a history and tells a story. The current Nigerian anthem is an artificial construct imposed on us by the Military. I really wish we 'd revert to the old national anthem:

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

afam4eva: For some reason, whenever the Nigerian anthem is being played i just don't feel anything. But whenever the US anthem is being played, it moves me. I get close to tears at times. Mind you i've never been to the US in my life. Why don't i feel anything when the national anthem of Nigeria is being played? Even the South African anthem moves me.

Hilarious....

This coon is actually trying to remove some culpability from his White Master's head.

You forget that the driving force behind slave trade was the HUGE demand for slaves in the new world.

No demand - No Slaves.

If you were not a slave retard that has permanently attached his mouth to his master's buttthole, you would realize the stupidity of your statements.

You will realize that the stupid article you posted makes absolutely NO MENTION of a NIGERIAN tribe.

I understand that the blacks sold slaves too BUT...if you're trying to use that as an Excuse to be an Uncle Tom...Then you are an even worse case than I thought..

Listen asswipe, do you only blame those that receive stolen property and not those that stole the property in the first place?

Since you're about as sharp as a door knob, let me spell it out for you. Do you prosecute thieves or only those that buy stolen properties from thieves? Why should slavery be any different? My point is both the recipient and the thief should be held accountable but I doubt the empty space between your ears contains enough matter for you to process what I just said.

Make sure you take a whole day to ponder your response because it would take you just as long to say something meaningful! Didirin!

Men ! I am not a big fan of football, but I like their commentary & then I think u need to calm down,
cos your approach is defiant.

If you don't have any business with any country, leave them alone .

You can only comment on world affairs .
