If they are feeding off your resources, they are paying the taxes and other levies that enables them to do so.
Your query is now between you and your politicians, not them.

Everyone is b*tching about the white man "stealing our resources" like as if the white man packed up and left they'd know what to do with the resources. As if it's not still going to all end up in some dirty politician's pocket like it always has been.

Truly I tell you, whites are not our problem, but our own people are, with the same useless mindsets evident in the lot of you.
It's the same false-sense of entitlement a politician has when he steals money. It will not change until the spirit in charge of it is purged from the roots of African nations.

I once had a run in with them, where they were asking for my  ID and I was ignoring them, eating what I was eating until one of them told me that I know I would never try this with their American counterparts and come out unscathed

Sagamite:

If you stab me and I have a gun, I will blow your brains out purely out muthafcking principles.

Thirst4Lif:

And the German officer was absolutely correct. If you'd given an officer of the law, be he German, American, etc.

cause to take notice of you, and you ignored that officer, you put yourself in the position of being handled or spoken to

any way the officer sees fit. This is why I warn my young friends to comply with these people. Bottom line, they

are people just like any of us. Prone to having a bad day or being in a bad mood. But unlike us

they wear badges and legally carry guns. Don't know what kind of day YOU  were having, but your ignoring the German

officer is an action I would definitely advise my young friends against. But PLEASE don't think every German officer would

have handled you the way he did!! It was just your Lucky day, my friend.
Please don't press your luck! The next officer may not be as kind.

Sagamite:

You are a cretin!

Your reasoning shows you are probably a conductor!

Next time shut up and don't have an opinion. You are not entitled to one.

2buff:

On the contrary sir I know exactly what I'm talking about.

We simply deal with it within the confines of BUSINESS. How about we make the farmer charge 1 dollar for it instead of 3 cents?
this can even be a governmental decree. Is the white man holding a gun to the farmers head to sell his cocoa that cheap?

Both can come to a deal both are comfortable with, if this is truly the problem (And I can confidently tell you is not).
----
When logic cannot be grasped, simplify it.
This is like me buying a box of apples from you in the market. We come to a agreement on the price for $1. It is then mine. I go out (maybe reprocess it a bit) and sell it to someone else for $20.

Would it make sense for you to then come and start demanding anything from me afterwards? No, cuz it's none of your flipping business what I do with my property. I may humor you for a while out of pity, but I will cut you off the moment I choose it or when I see your sense of entitlement has grown ridiculously.

In that same light sir, this has nothing to do with the present situation. It is a show of lazy responsibility to blame the white man for all your plights.

From what l have read so far, l can conclude that most Nigerians are SELF-HATING!

Question is WHY?

Like someone said" Do you think that Police woman would have Shot her to DEATH (not incapacitate, as in shoot on leg or shoulder!) IF SHE WERE A WHITE WOMAN?

GO FIGURE!

BTW: For those ignoramus yarning rubbish, if you live "legally" in the UK or anywhere in Europe, there are "LAWS, RULES, OPPORTUNITIES, RESTRICTIONS" which apply to you, regardless of your "Skin color" or where  you came from!
Do you think those paying her are stewpid or they just like to dash out awoof money?.
Take note, German citizens also go to the job centre! It is a temporary pay meant to alleviate the suffering of someone who is job hunting (not leave them to die, as is common practice in Naija )

A life is still a life, regardless of whether it is Nigerian or black.
Insane People are NOT responsible for their behavior. That is standard Practice.

Again, One poster blamed her attitude on Nigerian Men!
How ridiculous can some of these women feminist be!

Sagamite:

Another of the picture displaying cretins!

Ah!!! Product of no education.

Cretin! There are no internet cafes?

Bloody mugu with the thinking of a baboon!

buzugee:

and you try telling the man that what he is paying you for your cocoa is not enough to sustain you. he will have his IMF buddy's impose sanctions on you. then you will be doubly screwed. you think 'capitalism' is a game ? you think globalization is a game ? survival of the fittest nucca. only in this case we are the weakest so they are tryna make us extinct. if you are at the bottom of the barrel (thats us) you are supposed to be starved out of existence. now you tell me the man dont owe you ? shyttt. but thanks to global humanitarian organizations we are not dead yet

tom28:

Lmbao@ the way you think.So bus conductors now use internet cafes probably to hunt for passengers right?
Man you are a bloody fool and a naughty person at that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade    some people with a bit of human decency who dont want to see us africans extinct because of corporate fascism. throw a lil crumbs our way so we dont starve to death.  

2buff:

Maybe it's a simple case of africans needing better minds and not knowing how to take control of things that cannot be taken control of by brain-dead violent means.
Who else farms cocoa? Let them sanction all they want, but when you pinpoint all the suppliers of cocoa and form a coallition for the better pricing of it, they then have two options:
- be your b*tch and pay for it as you have detailed (they can pass on the costs to their clients, not your problem)
- or sanction all cocoa suppliers and do without cocoa, and watch their industries built around it crumble.

You're right, It is a game. Like anything in life.
But if you're not gonna learn how to play the game but instead sit there complaining about how hard your opponent is hitting you . . . who's really the ediot there?  

buzugee:

doesnt work like that. these people have a vice  grip hold on your economy via the IMF. they control and own you. you work for them. the only way to get them off your back is to give up your farm and run away and change careers. this is not a game. this is TOTAL CONTROL. a game will mean you can jostle and have an input. this is a one way jostle. the west is living and surviving on the blood, sweat and tears of africans. hell yeahhhhhh the man owes you. dont be ashamed to collect that giro.  thats retribution.

but do you at least see what I'm saying? Things can be done about it instead of blind acceptance of circumstance.
This is the game of business my friend. Sympathy should not be expected, so it's rules must be learnt. I cannot blame the whites for knowing how to play. We too suppose don get sense by now.

Bloody cretin that is mooronically disputing news report. You think NL is your beer parlour?

bruv this aint a physical game been played. behind this physical world is a spiritual world. this is a diabolical game been played and quarter backed by beelzebub. this aint humans quarter-backing this thang. we are all physical pawns in a diabolical game that is spiritually fought. deep stuff gee.

For the last 20+ years I've seen late-night infomericals requesting money

be donated to the continent of Africa. And recently my thoughts have been, "how the hell much money do these people need?!!"

Joining Nairaland has definitely been an eye-opener! I've come to the conclusion there's a very good chance none of this money has ever

reached anyone of African descent at all!

ninety nine percent of the monies go into administration and paying salaries. only 1 percent actually gets to the target. which is why i never donate for any charities. its all a scam. i do my own charity in person. give a homeless man food, clothes etc etc. i feel better that way.

2buff:

No genesis of a coalition of any sort ever came easy. Even the IMF, before it was formed, took considerable amount of work or fore-thought.
You're looking at the difficulty needed to set it up, and not the final and very possible/very reachable result.

It is a relic of the slave mentality that africans have not yet gotten rid of.
It IS a game, We just need to play it better. Only problem is, no african country has ever joined forces with another to accomplish something great.
And THAT is the part that requires a spiritual breakthrough. Africa is not unified, otherwise she would have achieved more.


Ok I'm sorry mods no more derailing =)

Thirst4Lif:

Good comment buzugee! I think I'll follow your lead! Though I must admit I did fall for the sob stories

on t.v. and made a donation myself (probably too many beers that night). I've learned better.
