i always thought the whole africa being a country was just a joke until i was asked if i speak 'african' and why i speak english
making my head into pulp by hitting it repeatedly on a wall wouldn't have abated the anger in me.

Afrikaans is an language

~Sauron~:

MINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People like Aloy.Emeka is the reason Caucasians think Africa is a COUNTRY where wild animals roam freely on the streets.

aloy*emeka:

Animals roam free on the streets na. Why deny it?

Kobojunkie:

Afrikaans is an language

i'm well aware of that miss ma'am but i was asked if i speak 'african' like the language of the whole country - africa

i had the wtf look initially until it was explained to me
do you really think an ignoramus like that would be aware of the existence of afrikaans as a language?

aloy*emeka:

Animals roam free on the streets na. Why deny it?. Have you seen animals roaming like this in England or US?

have you seen animals roam like this in ikeja
can we stop the arse licking already? the act is stale

bluespice:

Definitely. . .not Lagos.
More like Anambra. . . .The man with the blue cap is Chris Uba's nephew.

I see Cats, Mongrels, Foxes, Pigeons and Squirrels roam the streets of Central London.
There are animals everywhere. . . . .
Besides, i laid emphasis on WILD animals not just animals.

Don't put a spin on it!
The ignoramuses asking those uninformed questions are unaware of the existence of any such variations, and as such, cannot make the distinctions you just implied.

It's Lagos Eyo festival pictures. I don't know whether the men on G strings are from Lagos state or from a Gay state. I wouldn't answer that one. Look at the structures around it too, You can easily guess the area of Lagos the picture was taken. You think it was taken in Sudan or what?

When you make statements, make sure they are valid!!!

oh shut up!
do you know what the eyo festval is?
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN DURING THE EYO FESTIVAL IN LAGOS GET YOUR LIES TOGETHER
yes i had t type in caps cos im yelling

bluespice:

i have one question,
what is the aim of posting these pictures?
does it in anyway help to improve development?

Can I turn this around and ask you why you do not want these pictures posted. Shame? I mean why not post them? If you go on the Federal Ministry of Education’s site, you will see pictures of dilapidated schools. The reason why those pictures are put up there is so people can see and probably help. So yes, actually helps development.

bluespice:

shoot does it even show the process of development?

Do we ALWAYS have to show the process of development in pictures?

bluespice:

yet we go all gung-ho when foreigners have this warped idea of what the whole nation looks like.

Crucifying ALL foreigners for the ignorance of the few is immature, don’t you think?

bluespice:

If you indeed want to show 'naija' in all her glory,
i'lld suggest you get even here
there are so many beautiful and butt ugly places in nigeria
similar to EVERY country i've been to

But Naija in all her glory ought to include the bad and the ugly of it. Don’t you think? Or are we in shame to hide the bad and ugly for some reason? What you have up there takes me back to how we would hide the beggars, and the poor when foreign delegates visit  our states. Is this really how we show Naija in ALL her glory?


note the question marks

For the 3rd time, if you have pictures of animals roaming and feeding on dirt in US, Canada or England, let us see it.

Eyo Festival?
White elephant lie.

Eyo Masquerades don't dance nude like these Anambra urchins.
Tell another lie.

I do not entertain any discourse with minors. Go and yell at your age mates. If you doubt me, tell me where the picture is from then.

That was no spin, I simply pointed made that statement cause it was possible she was being asked of that. I had someone ask me if I spoke afrikaans since I mentioned I was taking a trip to SA.

He didn't make a statement, he ASKED questions ( check the question marks). lol

ma'am let's get this straight
i have no problems with the pictures, i have a problem with his motive

i have never ever said i crucified anyone for another's actions i believe you need to re-read my post.

They show pictures of dilapidated schools when they need help, they show pictures of 'regular' beautiful schools when showing what many schools also look like.
i lived in lagos and i can say that very few schools were actually like this when i was there, most of the schools that look like this are in the rural areas.

I'm sure your profile on facebook doesn't show you in all your "glory". Abeg practice what you preach.

@Ziga, No need to make it PERSONAL, answer the questions HONESTLY or quit.

PS. I don't do facebook or anything of the sort, so YOU ARE WRONG in your assesement of my person. The NAIJA IN ALL HER GLORY claim came from the person I was posting in response to.

Kobojunkie:


He didn't make a statement, he ASKED questions ( check the question marks). lol

I've noticed you are always so petty!!!

Kobojunkie:

good you were taking a trip to SA
i indicated i was african
see the difference?
pls try not to defend the person, he was very very ignorant. So many people have no idea what parts of the world look like. don't get me started on those that argue with me about countries i've lived in.

Do Nigerians drink milk from Goats eating garbage?

MandingoII:

Do Nigerians drink milk from Goats eating garbage?

Do your kinsmen drink milk from dogs plagued by rabies?

@kobojunkie

You are the one making it personal!!!!

Lets just ascertain the purpose of the thread and i can then let things go.

MandingoII:

Do Nigerians drink milk from Goats eating garbage?

no they don't drink goat milk
and last i checked, didn't the goat process the garbage to nutrients before the milk?

I guess the kids don't need helmets too. Naija

aloy*emeka:

Honestly I live in England,  I have seen several DOGS roaming around without the owner infact several cats, you go think say them be big rat at night like the ones in Lagos, so how about that?

MandingoII:

Pls bro. dont just post, think twice before posting.

cheers

Maybe she hasn't been exposed to the glut of ignorance exuded by these people we speak of.


Especially Mandingo's African Americans! A pathetic bunch.

From your post, you seem to have a problem with it.

bluespice:

I mean you went as far as to suggest to him how to do it INSTEAD of how he is going at it now.

bluespice:

I am sorry. . . .

bluespice:

. . . . I assumed that is what you were doing in the above.

bluespice:

WRONG!! Go to the site to see the pictures that have been there for over 2 years now. I know cause I check the  site often for updates. It is not about WHEN. It is about them admitting they need help and they are UNASHAMED to show the state of the schools to those who care. It is not an OCCASSIONAL issue. IT has been the case for over 2 years now.

bluespice:

i lived in lagos and i can say that very few schools were actually like this when i was there, most of the schools that look like this are in the rural areas.

WRONG!!! Please do not tag over 80% of the state that has schools like this as GHETTOS. I have my home in a town in the same Lagos. It is not a VILLAGE or some RuRAL area. The public school I attended as a child stands in ruins, and students are still in need of resources, up to this minute. The fact is even Lagos is still in need of development. We should not be ashamed to admit this fact. We should not be ashamed of seeing the pictures depicting this, even to this point. I get the "I DON"T WANT TO POST PICTURES OF MY VILLAGE CAUSE I AM ASHAMED OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK" vibe going on here. Why? If it is for GLORY, why not own it all, the good, the bad, the ugly of it?

~Sauron~:

TWIN TOWERS, LAGOS

i honestly can say i was not aware such buildings existed

see kobo somnsomn, i'm learning, why post only pictures of trash when i could get the fair education (good n bad) on nigeria?

Stray cats and dogs are different from a animals feeding from a heap of dirt. How many times have you seen such environment in UK?

bluespice:

That is between you and the person. I simply stated that AFRIKAANS is the name of a language. I didn’t know that until my trip and so felt to share that new knowledge.

bluespice:

pls try not to defend the person, he was very very ignorant.

Your call!!!  I simply stated that Afrikaans is a language and not defending the person since I don’t know who it was you met. Only  wondered if you ran into something similar to mine. In my case, I turned out to be the ignorant one.
