@kimba, datz so hilarious

i take that to be ''mere Unintelligence''! it's just absolutely annoying! Africa a country how silly!!! didnt they learn any geography in skuul, it's just mere Untelligence!

Americans do learn geography in school but from what i hear it is mainly about America, Europe, Asia and South Africa. I once tried asking a friend what they learnt about africa, all i could garner was apartheid, coup, corruption, poverty e.t.c.

Na wa o, it seems africans know more geography than the so-called americans and europeans.

Nope -- that is disinformation. Americans don't learn about Russia for example, Asian countries or African countries, so they believe they're evil. They don't even know anything about Cuba -- just that Fidel Castro's a demon.

If they knew enough of what these countries were and how they functioned, I doubt they'd back their leaders' policies. The aim is to keep them in ignorance.

Most of 'rm don't mean to be offensive a lot of them are just uneducated(They are educated but don't know much about the outside world)

That is the truth. Many people just dont damn know about anywhere apart from where they live. Its not their fault, I think its our fault. We spend all the time learning everything about the west in ours schools, we spend all the time dreaming and wishing to "go abroad", and whereva, we forget to really discover beauty in where we presently are. Thats why many Nigerians quickly disappear once they get into the shores of another country. They dont stand unique in a multitude. We dont appreciate what we have. We dont appreciate our skin color, our hair, our body build. We dont appreciate the fact that a mosquito bite wont send us 6ft under.

That is the reason why we cant unite, no matter how many Nigerians are living in another country, in a community or in the same neighborhood, even working in the same wherever, they will always divide themselves into Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa.

One thing I like about the Chinese is that no matter where they go, what they achieve where they might even migrate too, they never forget home. Its more like in the blood. They live together, even outside CHina's shores. And you would find the same true of their descendants, even if born outside China. They appreciate their past, no matter how bad it is. Even if its once a year, they are going back to their village. But Nigeria, its not possible.

Meditate on this greatly to find the solution to many of our problems as a people.

America is so full of stupid people, it would be funny if the smartest percentage didn't control the greatest nuclear arsenal on the planet.

such is the state of this entity called earth who are those people talking about globalisation the ignorant whites. what a pity! well it true I just checked my map the drawing of AFRICA is so small compared to united states of amerikka CHEI! this white men make dem take tape measure the size first now abi ngbo!
Besides when they are given visa to come here and commit all manners of actrocities within 2 hours even sef for dem house, how dem no go look us with small pickin eyes heh!! but we e dey take us FIVE years or TEN to get their visa and still they will ask all manner of question that comes into their thick skull so sad
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

WOW sounds like some people need to go back to secondary schhol. How in the world can you mistake Africa as a country and not a contient. A 7 year old knows that. Ignorance isnt bliss. People need to stop saying that. And besides, they must have slept throught ther geopgrapy and history lessions.
That is realy sad.

I was chatting to some African-Americans on yahoo chat (more than 100 peeps). I asked them to name a country in Africa, none of them could name even one country except one that answered Siberia.

I couldn’t believe it. This is one of the reasons why that I’ve sworn never to study in the US.

Now that is just embarassing! Wow

i have read most of the posts in this thread its like people tend to beleive that Europeans know about Africa better than Americans, that is if somebody can convince me that Bosnia and Herzegovina (part of former Yugolslavia) is not in Europe. I was there in early 1996 to late 1997, as a matter of fact i lived in Mostar, where one boy asked me where i came from, i said i was from Nigeria, the next question he asked me was that "do you have earoplanes in your country" i was mad, and i answered him sarcastically that "no i walked all the way here from my country"

This is my complain about Racism and Ignorance thread, so I'll Fill yall in on the Latest

The other day I was walking to the bus, when this dude walked up to me. I was like what da? All of a sudden the guy writes on my arm with his Black permanent marker and says to his firend "Wow, It actually shows"

What did you expect the Mark would blend in

@dblock. you no give the guy correct whozing upside the head. what did he think you are? a blackboard? jesus, what insult and degradation.  i would have slapped him so hard the whiteness woulda faded off HIS skin. the idiot!

most Africans don't know Africa. Matter of fact, most nigerians don't know some states in the country not to talk about neighboring states.

i think nigerians know a lot about their country than most people know about theirs. we always seem to be in touch with current events, politics, news etc wherever we are. just my observation.
i've come across americans that have no clue about the goings-on in their country. some don't even know who the vice president of their country is, or their political parties. for real.

Thank you very very much for bringing this topic up.dem white forks just annoy me.Anything they ask if am from africa and reply by saying 'are you from north america" ? and they get annoyed , replying "am from the united states ", and am like , "am from Nigeria bitch"

u know say white folks stupid, they are too gullible.they have simply been brain wahsed by the americam media.How can u be asking me an africa about my life on a tree.I just bitch their assx out , all they show dem on tv is sudan , ethopia and poor african nations , YOU know what ? I think am going to take my camera to america's ghetto and but the sh*t on youtube for the world 2 see. they think they 2 much , bunch of motherfukers, bastards, they just annoy me,

ha ha mp007. "i'm from nigeria, bitch". that was hella funny.  those people just dey annoy you shey? i know o. me sef don tired for them. you can't teach an old dog new tricks. most of em are set in their ways. they would rather remain ignorant no matter how much you try to educate them. don't bother yourself. important thing for us is to represent our country in a positive way while we are abroad. i might not have cared much for naija while i was there, but now that i'm abroad, the minute i so much as hear any negative comment about my country, na to descend on the person o.
_singing me i love my country, i like the land and people, everybody dey for nigeria, make we join hands, to make nigeria greater! i like aaaammmmmmm. can't remember the lyrics to that old song

The Problem is people from the US
I live in the US (am FROM England)
I feel sorry for people that live here, because they LIVE by the media, believe EVERYTHING they see on the news, and because of "political correctness" whats real and what isnt gets blown out of proportion.
Ive had "when did you move from London"?
I lived nowhere near London!
also "I like your British accent"
Britain consists of 3(and a quarter) countries, there is no "British accent"
its like saying 'European accent"
Everything in the US gets "Hollywoodized" or blown out of proportion
And the latest "gimmick" is political correctness

The biggest joke is how American people celebrate St Patricks day. I mean, bagpipes
(Yea yea ok, there ARE Irish type bagpipes, but you VERY rarely see them played in Ireland!!)
Also, I met an American Guy that said "Im Irish", I said, oh how ling you been here? he replied, Ive never been to Ireland, my ancestors were Irish,
Does that make him Irish?? NOOOOOO
African American is the same. Some dont even have African Ancestors!! And the problem again, is "political correctness"
Because many do not like the term "black". They are called African American.
Weird how white people are NOT called European American, but still thats another issue.
And because of this political correctness, the real georgraphy of Africa is blown out of the window and not even realised.

I'd reply to some other threads, the problem is, I cant understand what is being typed.
Is this some type of neo English?

I dont condone racism from ANY ethnic group.
But what you just said, is as bad as what the guy did
Just because of one idiot, you go on the whole "colour" issue
The guy was a dick, I dont give a crap what colour he was. So why give the whole "whiteness" crap?
tit for tat blah blah

God this thread is so racist its unbelievable
