make things simple and understand that any area in nigeria along the coast where a river empties or inland where active and extinct rivers do or have run,you will find some type of crude or bitumen there.......accept that all coastal areas have oil and that much of southern nigeria inland has oil.....Northern nigeria has oil all over,just follow the path of the rivers and extinct rivers if one knows how to recognize them....The key to this abundance is that central africa area and beyond which lie in the equitorial GREEN BELT whioch has counter part in south america and explains why venezuela is the oil giant of south america as brazil try its hand in finding its amazon black gold.......The activity of heavy vegetation over hundreds of thousands of years and some over millions of years being broken down and flowed into concentrated deposits by rivers to process down into resovoirs of crude oil.......The jungle of today is the crude oil of tomorrow............There are unproven theories about crude being formed deep in the earth instead of by the organic method....Africa has plenty meteor and asteroid or comet impact evidence and that lends to oil production as it produces heat and pressure combinations needed to compress and reconfigure substances on the molecular level to create new compounds or even new configurations of elements such as reconfigureing loose soft carbon into compact hard diamonds/carbon

Car TalkRe: How Driving Through Water Affects Cars by 19naia(m): 10:30pm On Jun 18, 2013
there is the issue of fresh water and then the issue of salt water of brakish water.....SALT WATER IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL REASONABLE COST... when i was driveing a subaru legacy wagon for a few years in nearly new condition only 3 to 4 years old,i would go to the beach regularly and sometimes the road there in high tide was inundated with only a few centimeters of water..Thats not much water at all i assumed and i was right with never a problem until a short time passed and my breaks seized up and needed replaceing...this happened twice before i heeded advice to not drive the salt water into my undercarraige and wheel mechanisms....years later i was replaceing the clutch on the car when the mechanic told me that he had worked on many subarus older than my car but it was my subaru that looked very old with rust under and around the drive train...He said that the salt water is the worst corrosive agent on the roads.............fresh water is better and sometimes works well to wash the underside of the car,but it is enough to just drive in a heavy rain to get regular cleaning...too much washing of the underside will strip some of the grease needed and also throw particles into places that will be ground down by the small particles and sand...It all adds up to more frequent repairs....of course deep water driveing is no good and only as an only option with expectation that it will cost you in the long run,even with trucks and jeeps built for this type of condition,there will be a toll taken on the vehicle......Self maintainance skills are very good for takeing measures to stave off wear and tear after exposure to much water.....flooding into the car can do extensive unseen damage that can haunt a car for the rest of its useful life...the types of hauntings can be electrical malfunctions on multiple systems and water lodgeing through seals will stay there for years protected by the very seals it invaded..those years will be eventful with corrosion and further compounding of problems....

Anything and everything anytime

The Sentinelese (also Sentineli, Senteneli, Sentenelese, North Sentinel Islanders) are one of the Andamanese indigenous peoples and one of the most uncontacted peoples of the Andaman Islands, located in India in the Bay of Bengal. They inhabit North Sentinel Island which lies westward off the southern tip of the Great Andaman archipelago. They are noted for vigorously resisting attempts at contact by outsiders. The Sentinelese maintain an essentially hunter-gatherer society subsisting through hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plants; there is no evidence of either agricultural practices or methods of producing fire. Their language remains unclassified.

The present population of the Sentinelese is not known with any great degree of accuracy. Estimates have been produced ranging from lower than 40, through a median of around 250, and up to a maximum of 500. In the year 2001, the Census of India officials recorded 39 individuals (21 males and 18 females); however, out of necessity this survey was conducted from a distance and almost certainly does not represent an accurate figure for the population who range over the 72 km2 (17,800 acres) island. Any medium- or long-term impact on the Sentinelese population arising from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and resulting tsunami remains unknown, other than the confirmation obtained that they had survived the immediate aftermath.

On previous visits, groups of some 20–40 individuals were encountered regularly. Habitations of 40–60 individuals were found on two occasions. As some individuals are almost certainly hiding, a better approximation of group size cannot be determined. This would suggest that some 2–6 groups occupy the island. The rule of thumb population density of 1.5 km2 (370 acres)/individuals in comparable hunter-gatherer societies indicates that one such group could live off the land alone. A significant amount of food is derived from the sea. It seems that the groups encountered, at any one time, could only have come from a rather small part of the island. There appear to be slightly more males than females. At any given time, about half of the couples seemed to have dependent children or the women were pregnant.

North Sentinel Island

The Sentinelese and other indigenous Andamanese peoples are frequently described as negritos, a term which has been applied to various widely separated peoples in Southeast Asia, such as the Semang of the Malay archipelago and the Aeta of the Philippines, as well as to other peoples as far afield as Australia (notably former populations of Tasmania). The defining characteristics of these “negrito” peoples (who are not a monophyletic group) include a comparatively short stature, dark skin and “peppercorn” hair, qualities also found commonly across the continent of Africa. No close contacts have been established, but the author Heinrich Harrer described one man as being 1.6 m (5′ 4″) tall and apparently left handed.

Negrito people of the Andaman Islands







From 1967 onwards, the Indian authorities in Port Blair embarked on a limited programme of attempts at contacting the Sentinelese, under the management of the Director of Tribal Welfare and anthropologist T. N. Pandit. These “Contact Expeditions” consisted of a series of planned visits which would progressively leave “gifts”, such as coconuts, on the shores, in an attempt to coax the Sentinelese from their hostile reception of outsiders. For a while, these seemed to have some limited success; however, the programme was discontinued in the late 1990s following a series of hostile encounters resulting in several deaths.

In 2006, Sentinelese archers killed two fishermen who were fishing illegally within range of the island. The archers later drove off, with a hail of arrows, the helicopter that was sent to retrieve the bodies. To this date, the bodies remain unrecovered, although the downdraught from the helicopter’s rotors at the time exposed the two fishermen’s corpses, which had been buried in shallow graves by the Sentinelese.

On 2 August 1981, the ship Primrose grounded on the North Sentinel Island reef. A few days later, crewmen on the immobile vessel observed that small black men were carrying spears and arrows and building boats on the beach. The captain of the Primrose radioed for an urgent airdrop of firearms so the crew could defend themselves, but did not receive them. Heavy seas kept the islanders away from the ship. After a week, the crew were rescued by a helicopter working under contract to the Indian Oil And Natural Gas Commission (ONGC).

The Sentinelese apparently survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the event, an Indian government helicopter observed several of them, who shot arrows and threw stones at the hovering aircraft with the apparent intent of repelling it. Although the fishing grounds of the Sentinelese were disturbed, they appear to have adapted to the island’s current conditions.

Amazing that in 2013 there is still a tribe that has had virtually no contact with the outside world. To resist contact in such a vigilant way. Reminds me of the scene from Mutiny On The Bounty with Anthony Hopkins.

Negro_Ntns: Tony,

Jokes apart, it is regrettable that I do not have an intimate understanding of the Igbo culture and core beliefs, it is an handicap for me personally. I love people and culture and the humanity of native customs generally. I can look at Yoruba art and instantly decode messages encrypted in it. This is possible because of my intimacy with my own people. I lived many years in Hausaland and it's unfortunate for the Hausas that every aspect of their customs but the language is wiped out. Hausa has suffered more and lost far more than any of the other ethnic people or tongue living in Nigeria today. Hausa was a member of the Songhay. Mali subdued them, Fulani subdued them and then British subdued them.

The Igbo social structure and culture is a unique one. To match their beginnings to a source outside their homeland we must find the foreign land where, around the era of transcontinental migration, kingship, imperial sovereingty and provincial authority were not practised. The difficulty of finding one anywhere around this time proves difficult. Making it more problematic is the fact there is no hero or father figure in their history. Nri and Aro are the biginnings they claim but it is also unheard of that a migrating monarch and head of a warrior clan, such as Nri is reputed to be, would end up defeated and subdued by his host, Aro. I suspect Igbo came from somewhere else....but where? So the clarity and definition of their migration and myths is best told by one who is very intimate with the history and culture.

On Yoruba, yes Canaan is correct. In fact the roots of many symbols, words and tongue of Yoruba are interlinked with Canaanite tongue and symbols. The prefix "Al-"; "Ol-"; "Il-" and "El-"......are all from old Canaan tongue. I see a pattern of it in the Luhya chart. Communication was done through symbolism, by it ideas were conveyed. All the hoolabaloo about Egyptian hieroglyphics when reduced to straight talk is just symbolism. To find where these symbols are hosted and how they are used we should look at the tradition and custom. There is for instance the symbol of a bird sitting atop of the Ade Orisa (the beaded conical crowns) and on the same crown you will have depiction of Esu's face highlighting his physical eyes and his mystical eye (third eye).

We call bird Eiye or Eye. What is the connection between this bird and the three eyes of Esu? Esu is the messenger of the gods, the equivalent of Greek's Mercury, who also like Esu, is dual-natured.....malevolent/benevolent!

The symbolism of the bird is to communicate the mystical power of transcendence and divine link via the third eye which represent the illumination of knowledge. Through this path man lives his will, shaped by malevolent/benevolent energies in nature. This is why Eiye itself is a cult in Yoruba mystical order.

The Eye is also a cult in European cultures, borrowed from Greeks who stole and copied the knowledge from Children of Israel, who inherited the secrets after sacking the Canaanites from the land. In Europe The Eye is "Illuminati", the equivalent of Yoruba's Eiye cult. The Zionists transferred the symbol onto the American dollar.

Another symbol is that of the egg (Eyin). In ancient times elders communicated secrets with the passage along of an egg. The modern day security clearance, so to speak. Only those in the circle of a knowledge had the specific egg bearing the specific dye. Eyin is a representation of the 16th letter of the Hebrew (Canaanite tongue) letter "AYN". Ayn means a secret or something hidden or covered from open view. 16 is used a lot in Jewish mysteries to encrypt message.......and if you add the 1+6 you get 7, which is the cosmic platform for revelation, openess and production or fertility in connection with egg.
CultureRe: You Might Want To Know That We Yorubas Are Part Of The Lost Tribe Of Israel by 19naia(m): 4:26am On Jan 19, 2013
i saw an article on line from around 4 years ago..it detailed a yoruba land site being guarded as a shrine and that the local oral tradition said that it was a monument set thousands of years ago to a visitor from afar...they said the name of the visitor was a queen "SHIBIRU"...when she departed back home,they made the monument as record and tribute....The article went on to suggest it could have been queen of sheeba during solomons time and that there were stories from her homeland of her taking long journeys into africa along the nile and certainly into areas now known as lower sudan....The yoruba migration paths suggested are wide and show mali and sudan in the swath...the period of sheeba also overlaps the relative time frame and land area of the NOK culture on the north side of the niger river barrier...each tribal region such as the nok and others scattering north would suffice as enough stepping stones for sheeba to be directed towards yoruba land,and being a Nile river regioner,the niger river crossing would be no worry to her troop or the people who may have helped her explore....The yoruba shrines are all protected and digging for research is forbidden and some oral history is reserved only for initiates in kings courts...so this is the real barrier to finding evidence to settle the truth of the matter...the linguistic artifacts are all over yoruba language and excessively obvious to language intellects...There is new research showing also the chinese having come all the way around africa and not just east africa but through to west africa and into atlantic towards USA,circa over a thousand years ago and as far back as possible 10 thousand years of ocean sailing...'O DA NI' is used in dominantly chinese heritage parts of asia,and its used to say "its good" and in yoruba its used to say the same thing,and also KUN ILE in yoruba is for kneel down as in chinese dialect "KOUHYE"(not the best spelling for chinese words that have their own writing system,but my spelling caries the phonetics)...these are basic words that may have exchanged from china to africa or africa to china with contact(and these words are also basic greeting and for greeting illocutions,the very first type of word exchanges in a non war encounter of foriegn strangers ) ...linguistic artifacts are just as important as genetic,because sometimes contact was made but no exchange of people or genes were made,only gifts and of course they exchange/learn bits of each others language to help interaction..i think yoruba shores may have been a friendly enough stop for chinese to restock their ships(a mandatory survival restock to return home)...So language is where you can prove contact and mingling where they did not have babies together to leave genetic artifacts behind or take with them...also they may have taken some africans with them and that may explain the scattering of african looking people in islands all along the routes south of china in pacific trans to indian ocean...the chinese kingdoms were very resistant to having racial outsideres join their society from so far away and so that would have african passengers be left on lands/islands off chinas shores...the chinese were great about not being colonialist in their travels in those days..they only colonized within the reaches of there continental mass and nearer islands.......The chinese also dont like outsiders digging in their dirt or viewing much of their findings for archealogical history....and so the truth may still be mostly hidden

its true what was posted above about secureing a specific visa before going to a foriegn country...in my experience traveling and researching visa policies,many countries will allow you in on a specific visa such as visitor or student or worker;but in the event you want to change your status there,you must leave the country and apply any new type of visa outside the country..only extensions for existing visas can be granted in the country and only up to a fixed limit of extendability....seychelles may be different but its better to be prepared under common policies that limit visa switching while still resideing on existing visa.........seychelles is not very expensive compared to south africa or europe and USA...i read a report saying that salaries are low in seychelles when compared to cost of living..the seychelles ruppee is 13ruppes to 1 USdollar and its about 50ruppees to eat out at modest restuarant and about $500 to rent a nice but simple small house...these are stories from foreigners like americans,so maybe the locals there are able to find cheaper living for basic survival..

IT states that it is required for you to go in person to the embassy for all nigerians applying to go to mexico...No online APPLICATION option...use the information posted ABOVE here to know what you must gather to take with you when you go to the embassy..the telephone to call there is posted above and its wise to call them for an appointment so to be sure they have time to see you when you arrive....KNOWING SOMEONE IN MEXICO WHO IS MEXICAN CITIZEN TO INVITE YOU IS IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT...ITS BEST YOU GET OFF THIS NAIRALAND AND GO TO MEXICAN WEB SITES TO MEET PEOPLE... AND GET CALLING AND THEN GOING TO THE EMBASSY IN ABUJA

TravelRe: Migrating To Seychelle by 19naia(m): 10:03pm On Jan 08, 2013
yes its true that an ordinary entry to a country is one criteria field..To work and be a resident is another story always requireing more effort to earn a status in the country other than a visitor who must leave after 1 year.......i dont know about seychelles so much as i have not been there..i travel the world a lot and meet people from all over earth to learn about their countries..also i use the VISA REQUIREMENTS web sites to get official reports on immigration policies for alomost every nation......Going to seychelles is not easy for me because the air fare from USA is between $4000.oo and 11000.oo round trip and i can better afford only destinations with airfare of $2000.oo or less for round trip....from africa you will be lucky and find it cheaper...good luck

TravelRe: Migrating To Seychelle by 19naia(m): 6:34am On Jan 07, 2013
Irrespective of the nationality of the visitor and his or her family members, there are NO VISA requirements to enter Seychelles. However, the following documents must be shown in order to obtain immigration clearance at the Seychelles International Airport:

1) A passport valid on the date of entry to and exit from Seychelles
2) Return or onward ticket
3) Proof of accommodation; including contact details
4) Sufficient funds for the duration of the stay

Holders of a "Kinderausweis" issued to German minors (up to and including 15 years of age) may enter Seychelles provided that this travel document contains a photo of the minor concerned.

Presentation of all of the above documents will grant you a Visitor’s Permit that will be issued upon arrival by the Seychelles Department of Immigration.

The Visitor’s Permit is initially valid for the period of visit of up to one month. It can be extended for a period of up to three months from the date of issue and capable of further extensions for successive periods not exceeding three months at a time to a maximum period of twelve months, provided that the person still meets the criteria of a bona fide visitor.

The visitor's permit is issued free of charge for the first three months after which there is a fee of SCR1,000 for extension covering each period of three months or any part thereof.

For all visa exemptions and extensions and other enquiries regarding immigration issues please contact:
