The mayor of Houston was an idiot for telling people not to evacuate

How do you put 6 million plus people on the road at the same time? More people will die from the chores

Imagine calling your fellow African an African monkey. That is to show how useless you have become and how brainwashed you are. You are in chains but don't realize it. You are worse than a piece of trash and a fucking ass licker. Poor mind. Poor soul

I was shocked by his reference to another fellow black as "African Monkey" are we sure that he is not a white racist, posing as an IPOB?

I doubt you are full blooded Nigerian, you must be Biafran to hate Nigeria this much. To hell with whites Jor,while I sympathize with every one involved in this disaster, it is clear that more focus is on rescuing white skinned individuals and their pets
This is not true. Personally, I called the emergency number for a friend whose house got flooded and was trapped with his wife and kids, he is a Nigerian . Within a few minutes, he got help.

In fact I was still on the phone when he said that the emergency crew have arrived. He was rescued.

So stop coming here to talk trash that you know nothing about. Houston is a very diverse community of people from all nationality and the immigrant here are doing exceptionally well.

If my fellow African think or acts like monkey, I will say it without reservation that he or she is a monkey
Simple and short without sentiments

Many of our people behave like animals, and that is what you are prevalent in many African communities, animal behaviour, channelling your sewage into the gutter, emptying your garbage in the canal, driving like animals, selfishness and unparalleled greed, hailing people of questionable character, selling your country short for personal and parochial gain, neck deep tribalism and hate among Africans, and the list is endless


Till our people start conducting themselves like humans and not animals, they remain nothing but animals, and I say this without sentiment again

You guys can insult me all you want, but compare the quality of comments and topics you see in say Reddit or Quora; and compare it with the garbage here in this forum, and that will give you an insight into how a good chunk of our people reason

Shame.

That's why I keep saying Nigeria is in her last days.
Nigeria value and respect people form other countries than her citizens.
The government protect foreigners with the police while the same police kill and extort the citizens
Nigeria government will have foreigners who beat their Nigerian workers under them in this same Nigeria and nothing is done to them.




Nigeria I tell you is in her last days.

It's a shame, but look at it from this angle....

Do we as a people have real love amongst each other as a people?

It is because they all show love (whether it is real or not is debatable) and help themselves in disasters like this, that is why the world also shows sympathy to them as well.
When you show yourselves love, others show you same, as it resonates

However in our corner of the world, we show it brazenly that we don't like each other (not all of us tho, but a good number of them) so how can the world even care about us.

If a disaster strikes, how mAny of our elite (stars, athletes, politicians etc) do fundraisers to help the affected,?
Even if fund raisers are done, there is the mistrust that, due to the corrupt nature of an average Nigerian (and other Africans too, see what happened in Sierra Leone during the ebola crisis, black man inhumanity to his fellow black man undecided) there is the fear that such money could also be stolen, in part, or all of it.

How many stations in Nigeria show extensive coverage of disaster in Nigeria?

How many churches, with their evil and thieving billionaire pastorrs living la vida loca open shelter homes to take care of victims when disaster strike?


Just leave story abeg, we need to change as a people

You can't tell millions to evacuate... It would have lead to more death. In 2005, when the city was told to evacuate, there was a lot of accident and stampede that lead to high death toll.

This is an example of what happened in the time of Noah where by he and some member of his family were saved by the so called ark. It was recorded as destrotion of the earth by water in some sacred texts because the writer believed no where else exist on earth aside there geographic location.
I do seat most of the time and think about the authentic of these so called texts (sacred texts) and my intuition told me that these books are mere Formulated hypothesis on which philosophers should make research so as to arrive at a reasonable conclusions.

The day we begin to see ourselves as one and understand that the things that divide us are irrelevant.

The day we see ourselves as Nigerians first. Not igbo, Yoruba nor Hausa.

It starts by making conscious effort to suppress hate, bigotry and disdain for one another .

well that's what I have been advocating for since this topic,in fact my major reason of coming to nairaland.
I have been a guest on nairaland for several months or if not a year because of the level of hate speeches, tribal comments,unpatriotism etc exhibited by some which made me sit back.
My main aim of being on this Forum is also to sanitize,orientate some that we should tolerate ourselves and put the interest of our country prior in the presence of any other country.

Texans have never seen anything like Hurricane Harvey. The storm pummeled the state with castastrophic flooding and winds topping 130 mph over the weekend.

Amid the devastation, the people of Texas and surrounding states have come together to rescue strangers from their homes and shelters. Their stories show tremendous bravery — and the photos and videos of the events will restore your faith in humanity.
