There's absolutely no desire to obtain land from Nigeria. It's too crowded and, extremist.
like michael said the other time... U begining to sound like a troll... crowded, extremist? Nahh.. There is enough land to for the people... Extremist nahh! I would rather use wise... We nigerians are too wise to welcome such dumb idea of forming a country withing our territory... May be other african countries will lick a negro like u's butt... But definately not nigerians

Sure, no problem. Once the land is handed over the Afrocentric and the non-Afrocentric will both help in that process, from an independent Black-American nation. Any natives whom live on the obtained land can stay in the new nation as full fledged citizens, but other outsiders may obtain citizenship upon very limited circumstances, this doesn't mean that you cant come and visit, or do business there, but rather simply that you can't obtain citizenship. I don't see why you'all are so against this.

This is a far better explanation & this is far more close to reality. At least,natives of the given land remain full-fledged citizens & outsiders can come in but with due processes. That's more like it. It's more reasonable because for instance,even though I'm also black & African, I can't just stroll into Ghana or any other African country besides my home-country without following the right procedures (Visas,passports etc) just because " I'm black or African." I can do that in my home-country & nothing would happen cos I'm a national & that's more or less my right. Bro,alhough your proposal will never ever see the light of day,but this particular post of yours is more reasonable & less selfish & is closer to reality than all the other AA posts on this thread.

Your probably right, but I think that it might be possible, based on the number of wayward governments on that continent and discontented ethnic citizens under their rule. A financial and economical offer to a backward gov. body likely wont refuse in connection with a favorable offer of a much better life, to a select people on a select piece of land under the rule of such a gov. With the proper angle and presentation from the AA side, it'll be fruitful. I'm not talking about some huge swath of land, even a small piece, say the size of Sierra Leon, hell even the size of Lesotho or Swaziland would do for reference. Arid land is ok as well, as long as it's connected to the coast or main water source, the nation will simply arrogate it.

Yeah, they'r talking about being proud to be African while at the same time totaling imitating Diasporas, BA and Caribbeans to be exact. Hilarious, stuff. cheesy
don'nt be silly,most street and less enlightened touts all over the world africa included naturally imitate their brothers among AAs mostly cos they share a lot in common.and also for your information,Africans mostly love and admire their AA brothers until they get to meet them for real like Usher comming to nigeria and saying afro women smell,that tout rickross doing an obnoxious video of poor african children running after his money,50kobo getting into a fight with a local artists...and the list goes on(you comming on nairaland with your insulting propositions).then reality dawns on most that these guys have so been beaten up with a slavery,they don'nt know what it means to love and be proud of your father before your friends on your college graduation day though he came dressed in rags.Africa is not there yet for many reasons not unconnected to the west,but a real african always has his head above his shoulders,no apologies to anybody why i am the way i am,it's my life.anyways no need for the fights,if we can'nt love and accept each other,let's please respect the distance(Atlantic Ocean)between us cause we sure need it.

You seem to think you just need to buy it from one african country. Let's say you tried that with the DRC and they accepted. I doubt any of the other counties in the region would a nor would there citzensens. Any goverment that sold the land would not be in power long enough to sighn the pappers. I know if my goverment tried that I would be bound by my Code of conduct. Any SA presdent that dose that will be a threat to the people and country and would not last long.

You've said all that needed to be said, beyond that in which I've said. I'd go into detail about what I think of the threats, insults and fiendish demands that any such nation MUST allow them to live there, or that we shouldn't want to live under our own rule in our own nation, but there's not need. Their behavior right here on this thread further exemplifies some of the exact reasons why many would not want them to be allowed citizenship there, not to mention a brief skim through the politics section, but I've rested my case on this topic and will move on to another topic soon. Stay tuned for my next new hotness. smiley

You guys are jokers. Read the OP post again and if it wasn't so insulting it actually could be hilarious. Please if you want to carve out space in DRC, go look for DRC land to post in, this is nairaland. You are still not confused about African countries are you?

Why do you AAs always thrive on discord? Go to ur blogs and Africans don't come to cause strife but on any Nigeria blogs you see westerners black and white spewing out nonsense, you seem so paranoid and scared of our progress. Yes African countries typically have a bad rep but any reasonable person knows that it was all due to western propaganda and brainwashing and while we are not there yet. We have def moved forward.

Would not bother replying to msdarkskin, you saying you are out of ths thread but coming back to comment SIX shocked times after that kinda proves my point about AAs being trouble makers. With ur rep in America, we do not want you! Lol

i love tot trust people but i dont think i will on this one...blyss could b anything. His tots can b antisocial or for advancement but definitely ill-timed.

I think blyss should go to a forum where central africans meet to introduce his tots for a start and let us see...

If CAR will accept, i am sure neighbours DRC will not. They will c as americans comin to build a house. U know what happens when devil sells u a house bt retains ownership of d door? E can com and hang a filth of a dead bitch on it. And at that time...u are doomed.

I am not sure I have com to a full understandin as to why blyss needs this resettlement...very unneceesary. If e so badly nids relocation, SA is a viable option. Make e no b lyk sey without im & im ppl, naija no go breath

CAR and DRC are not the only nations in the region you know. There's one in which I believe would be a much more willing participant.

very true.
you have people like that on BOTH sides.

Sadly they are plenty in number. But when those who are not at all like any of "them" decide to rub minds and understand one another..you can always count one or some of "them" to come and throw salt in the game....this thread is a classic example!!

No African country will ever sell off to foreigners. So stay in your rightful homes in America or wherever.
Blyss: I personally know of many well off Black-Americans and Afro-Caribbeans who have stated that they wouldn't mind moving their families and business operations to Africa and this includes me as well, but one major hang up is a strong lack of acceptance to live under African rule. Now you can call this bigoted or hateful in some other fashion, but in all reality the majority of the reasoning expressed in regard to the issue, were not so much bigoted as apposed to being simply being of a mind set of wanting to fully control the surroundings of their operations.

They basically want to gather up a congregation of middle and upper class black diaspora and buy out a large stretch land from, let say Angola or the DR. Congo, with an agreement for the said land to be fully liberated into the control of the group, to stand as their own independent nation, void of any African natives . They'll bring their money, businesses and such to this land and basically turn it into a progressive utopia of their life back in the Americas.

I mentioned this to a few Africans I associate with, and they found this highly offensive, for various reasons. But I'd like to know what you'all think of such a desire or plan.

I like the Gabonese people, I've not met many but of those I've had the pleasure of meeting, I can tell you that they are very much the type of gracious and levelheaded people that'll take on such a historical offer when the time is right, for the benefit of their nation and the Diaspora who seek an independent nation in Africa. It's a wonderful location for such a partnership to take place on the continent.

Only problem is just about every regional power and sub regional power will tell them not to do it. Gabon is located close to the sourthern african power block. We do not want forghin influnce down here (notice no forghine milltary bases) and we are much more united than any other regional block in Africa. A untied effort by SADC will prevent any thing of this nature.
