MISS GHANA 3RD RUNNER UP MISS WORLD

[size=13pt]BOTH CONTEST HELD IN INDONESIA 2013[/size]



Both contest held in Indonesia. I think the Indonesians where overcompensating. They were playing on that odd notion that certain looks represented the real African look , which is why they chose the Ghanian contestant. I''m not being insulting but lets be honest with ourselves she was not the best of the African contingent. Perhaps too they like the fact that she is studying medicine and presented a role model to young aspiring girls, especially in a Muslim state. The Nigerian girl won the Islamic pageant for similar reason, her knowledge of Islam and the Koran

Above all this fool should have jst kept his mouth shut & demand for a lawyer.


Visitors from India and other 'high risk' countries in Asia and Africa will be forced to pay £3,000 cash bond before they enter UK

Plans by Home Secretary mean visitors lose their cash if they overstay visa

Ghana kicked Nigerians out first and Chadians and Nigeriens full Bokoharam and responsible for the killing of thousands of Nigerians. If a Nigerian was part of any group responsible for killing even twenty South Africans what d ya think would happen?

Lwkd a Nigerian want to give me Democracy lessons bwahahaah joke of the century.
you should have seen how your clueless president was ashamed and embarrassed in Cameroon yesterday. grin grin grin Nigerians leading the gulf of guinea in piracy ,oil bunkering, theft etc , Giant wink indeed



Ha, ha ,ha what a laugh. All these nonsense countries naim you they talk?

When Nigeria dey beef up security in gulf of Guinea, buying boats, training Nave men, these shits of french West Africa pass back go dey beg oyingbo to come help them. Useless people with their slave mentality.



Extract:


Following an increase in pirate attacks in the Gulf Of Guinea, a regional meeting of West African leaders have called for the deployment of an international naval force to help combat the situation.

Last week, a report published by the International Maritime Bureau said that pirate attacks in the Gulf Of Guinea now outnumbered those off the coast of Somalia. The report said that 960 sailors had been attacked in the Gulf of Guinea, in comparison to 851 attacks off the coast of Somalia, a drop of 78% from 2011. The drop has been attributed to the increased use of armed guards on ships that sail in East African waters.

At the meeting, Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara said that "piracy in the region needed to be tackled with firmness", a sentiment that was echoed by Cameroon's President Paul Biya, and other West African leaders.

President Alassane Ouattara went on to say "I urge the international community to show the same firmness in the Gulf of Guinea as displayed in the Gulf of Aden, where the presence of international naval forces has helped to drastically reduce acts of piracy."

The report from the International Maritime Bureau also stated that the cost of piracy in 2012 amounted to US$950 million.

[size=13pt][/size]All over the world Ghanians are know as Pitt black, short and ugly (not easy on the eyes). Any Ghanians you see who look slightly good i can assure you are mix with other African, whites or Caribbean.

How do you know a Ghanian, they generally look and act foolish, always showing white teeth on a black face. They are scatta, scatta without composure.



Give me Obasanjo any day a MAN who oooooooooooooooooZE CONFIDENCE and makes a woman feel SECURE. Look at the picture with him and President Carter, his presence was such he made Carter looks like a house boy.

Culture / Re: The Official Isoko Thread! All Isoko People Should Post Here. by Calamama: 6:27pm On Jul 12, 2012
Isokos and Urhobos are very different ethnic group. They even look different; Urhobos are often darker in complexion whereas the Isokos are reddish in completion with thinner bone structures from what I have observed.


Also the Isoko Erohwa, original language is very different it has no relationship to the Urhobos or any other languages around the area however, it is sad the language is now dying out..

It is likely that the Erohwa are the original Isoko people and the other Isokos offshoots. This Isoko offshoots and Urhobo have absorbed and influence one another but it does not mean that they are the same people.

Igbo people and Calabar people do have influence on Erohwa visa versa but it does not then follow that Isokos, Calabars and igbos are the same people.

This cross-cultural ethnic influence is widespread in Nigeria as a whole because many of the traditional attires, which Nigerians are known for worldwide, are a mixture of influences.


Also why cant it be Isoko Uhrobo people why is it always Urhoho Isoko people this is a partnership of equals not of subordinate and superordinate.

Politics / Re: Nigeria President Urges Boko Haram To Come Out And Talk by Calamama: 7:45pm On Jan 26, 2012
It's simple. The past government dialogued with Delta rebels and paid them. Critics now say, Boko want the same. They argue that there's bias in favor of the South if Govt was willing to pay ND-Rebs but goes after  Boko hell for leather!  

angry angry  can you believe such a ridiculous situation. I mean, theses groups slaughtered Nigerians, literally slaughtered Nigerians for money! Anyway, the mistake first began when we gave up Bakassi. From then on Nigeria was seen by the international community as weak. Sponsoring these terrorist groups was only a matter of time.

If Govt negotiates with Boko and pays them you'll see that another group springs up in western Nigeria. So just as kidnapping became a business so might terrorism become a business. The Indonesians, Russians, Chinese, Lebanese et all would broaden their portfolio to include sponsoring  terrorism in addition to sponsoring bonkaring in the short term while they await the lucrative opportunity that comes in the wake of another African civil war.

Na complex mathematics. If Nigeria win any age competitions these days, people say it is because we fielded over aged players. If we loose, they say we lost as a consequence of having fielded over aged players in the past and now it has caught up with us. We just cant win in some people's jaundiced eyes. Meanwhile every so called Nigerian believes everything negative others say about us. How honest is that and yet we're supposed to be lairs undecided undecided!

Politics / Re: Reasons "occupynigeria" Will Fail. by Calamama: 3:45pm On Jan 18, 2012
The ill thought "occupynigeria" over subsidy removal will fail because;

1.The petrol subsidy removal is a government policy to enhance and guide decisions to achieve a rational outcome, and any unfortunate person that take law into his hand could be arrested or shot without any reservation.

2. I expect nigerians to storm the street/protest on corruption, institutional decay, security, poor leadership and intergrity of office holders, but in this case it's none of the above.

3. We are protesting for the wrong reason(s) or better put 'foolish activism'.

4. The caption "occupynigeria" is a copywrite, we can do better if we define our own form of aggitation/uprising.

I'm glad this government has been the most critised and perceived as the most controversial, such government always make progress and pushes changes through.

We should all consider the fact that this government is taking the bull by the horn to rectify the nonsense done by past governments that wasted money on subsidising consumption because they were afraid of changes.

The time for awuf run bele is over else Nigeria will remain backward economically and that will spur aggitation for disintegration.

Do u all know that diesel vehicle are more economical and durable than petrol?, there are more diesel vehicles on european roads than petrol too.



True.

in addition, international opinion is broadly in agreement with the removal so public cant rely on sympathy there.


as for point 2, that will come in time. In fact, the way forward for those hungry for revolution may have come from the protests.

once, the idea of revolution in Nigeria floundered on the fact of our diversity but now we can see that Labour Union could be used to represent everyone. So just as Nigeria may be a project which distracts us sufficiently from disintegrating into all out ethnic wars without end so Labour if it is built upon could provide an umbrella project which the common man  could  belive in. One day we may have a Labour party.

Politics / Nigeria Has More Legitimacy Than America, Here's Why: by Calamama: 2:51pm On Jan 18, 2012
People keep on with this now tired line, "Nigeria is a contraption" or "Nigeria is just a  geographic expression!" and then they sit back, swelling with self-satisfaction as  if they've said something so fundamental those to whom they say it need several years of silence just to absorb the sheer intellectualness of it.

I have grown up with those words ringing in my ears, therefor i have had many years in which to mull over them. However, after all this time, those words remain as meaningless to me as they ever were . The reason for this, is that those words do not stand exclusive to Nigeria. Most nations seem to me in one way or another to fulfill the tenet imbued in the words[b] Contraption or Geographic Expression[/b]. I suppose that in the context of, "let us not act as if things cannot be changed", stating that Nigeria is just a Geographic Expression may have salience. But in the context of the so-called artificiality of Nigeria, the words are insubstantial since most Nations are artificial.

First we as humans were nomads, next, hunter-gatherers, then with the advent of multiple livestock and farm holdings we formed larger societies informed by the need for mutual protection. From then on societies have grown or shrunk by one form of imposition or another.  At this point someone might think, 'ah, yes, but some Nations were more evolutionary than others'. My thought would be that the extent to which Nations have their founding in moral principles is of more importance. Viewed in this light, it may lend to the argument of those who question the legitimacy of Nigeria to frame it also in the framework of the questionable morality of the British and other colonialists.

America was a country founded on immoral principles far worst that Nigeria. America belonged to the native Indians, Europeans left their lands, subjugated the Indians and formed America whereas Nigeria was created by amalgamating the nations of the the Niger area-in order words peoples that belonged to the area.
Foreign Affairs / Re: What Are Diasporans Hearing Direct From People In Nigeria About The Unrest? by Calamama: 5:46pm On Jan 16, 2012


cap28


Yes it is indeed, and the worst part is that they have still got so many of us fooled.

This is why i say that 90% of nigerians are completely brain dead.

Acquring worthless pieces of papers in the name of educational qualifications does not equate to intelligence.

People here in the west with no academic qualifications can run rings around purported masters degree and phd holders in and outside nigeria because many of these fools have no understanding of the wider world that they live in.  Their narrow outlook on life limits them to seeing the world from the view point of a brainwashed follower  - a robot, completely devoid of the ability to reason and analyse issues critically.

These dolts never read books unless they relate to their immediate field of endeavour, this is why nothing in the world makes sense to them.  You would have thought that given our  history many of these individuals would seek to find out the root causes of our predicament, but no, they prefer to sit back and allow the white man to rehash and rewrite their own history, dumb fools!

Many of these fools were rejoicing when Qadaffi was killed - what they didnt realise was that nigeria along with other resource rich african countries have also been earmarked for destabilisation and destruction by these same western powers.  How ironic that less than 3 months after the libyan towns of sirte, bani walid and tripoli were razed to  the ground by the satanic forces of NATO they have turned their sights towards nigeria, the irony!  where are all these fools that were shouting and praising the NATO intervention in libya.  Where are these dim wits who thought that France had every right to invade ivory coast and kill thousands of unarmed men women and children in order to install their IMF puppet Ouattara.

The IMF hijacked the running of many african countries a long time ago but now due to the imminent collapse of america and europe's economies they are now ramping up the pressure and are resorting to even more draconian methods of siphoning the wealth from africa.

Okonjo Iweala has now been placed at the helm of affairs in order to push through the kind of economic reforms that will condemn over 80% of the nigerian population to an unending cycle of poverty.

I am so glad you can appreciate the level of frustration that i experience on this forum when trying to communicate with the endless flow of ignoramuses on here .

your point about the inhuman treatment meted out to Gbagbo and her husband is spot on - do you think those soldiers would have dared manhandle Ouattara's wife in that manner?

Do you think the french govt would have allowed any african soldier to manhandle a white woman and get away with it?

africans are fools and we are now dealing with the consequences of our stu.pidity.


Thank you for this. It was heartening to read and note that there are still people who understand that external politics - at the very least - impacts on the lives of ordinary Nigerians as does local politics.  Moreover  makes a change from the very dull and infantile, tribalistic drivel that has come to  overtake and further dumb down the already dumb level of nairaland discourse.
