Jayson1: You're the waste. James Ibori the convicted felon is your role model. I seriously shake my head for you. You should apologize to the plants and trees around you that are working hard to produce the oxygen you're breathing walahi. I wish I could delete you from my phone here. Your degree of thoughtlessness is alarming. 1 Like |

Marotzke: IamaNigerianGuy: Speak softly and carry a big stick. I came across this proverb for the first time in the Britannica Encyclopedia in 1985. It was said to be a West African proverb that Theodore Roosevelt loved. Then in 1989 or 1990, I read an article (I think it was in the Readers Digest, I'm not sure) that traced the origin of the proverb to an ethnic group in Nigeria. I can't remember the ethnic group at the moment. I later read a similar article in a Nigerian newspaper in the early 1990s in which it was described as a Nigerian proverb. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Stick_ideology |
