You are right.Lagos is no way comparable to London.London is like a Premiership club(Man Utd) while Lagos is like a Conference side(Boston Utd)

@adesodgi

There is an argument to be made that it is not another man's country.We are making a living off living in Britain in the same way many Britons in the past ,present and possibly future have made fortunes off Africa

It is a great place to make a living and send some home for folks at home

This is one of the problems with contemporary Islam.Islam is inextricably linked with Arabism.

What is ostensibly potrayed as religious issues is often a smokescreen for Arab interests.This is mainly down to the insidious effects of Saudi money in the Muslim world.

When muslims are hurt in Chechnya,Xinjiang Province,Darfur,the muslim world is silent but when it comes to Palestine,Iraq,e.t.c, the muslim world is whipped into an unruly frenzy

What has inscriptions in the Arab language on money got to do with Islam.Surely muslims in Nigeria should prefer inscriptions to be in their own indigenous languages.U don't see Saudis trying to write in Hausa

Long Live The Queen

All these U.K residents "dissing" U.K,surely the large prescence of Nigerians here indicates that there is something fundamentally wrong with Naija.To say this is not to repudiate my nationality but to affirm the obvious

Many people mistake narrow minded nationalism for reasoned comment.At the end of the day Nigeria is my home but I still resent its deplorable state

Long Live The Queen Great Brittania

I think the whole thing can be traced to the mad man ruling America.I really appreciate the performance of the democrats in the last congress elections.so that they can balance the unbalanced man.President Clinton had none of this problem because he was wise and diplomatic in his foreign relations policy.United states must do away with this madman that nobody knew how he sneaked in.lack of charisma can be fatal.A man who said that he had no interest outside America before coming to power,how can he understand other nations,culturesetc.Even Nelson Mandela said the man is pschologically unbalanced.

In some senses,the above post illustrates the effect of a media created meme.Here is an African,claiming that a President who cut development aid to Africa is far more preferable than one who ensured the largest increase in development aid(non-loans) since J.F.K

An African who saw his country's debt cut from $32 billion to $ 5billion claims that things were better when his country had to pay billions of dollars per annum on debt servicing.During the Clinton years,the more African nations paid there debt the more it rose.

During the Clinton years,America waged major military campaigns in Somalia,Haiti,Bosnia,Kosovo,Iraq and minor campaigns in Sudan and Afghanistan.In most of them,Clinton didn't bother even consulting the UN not to talk of failing to obtain an undisputable resolution.

When Clinton was cutting aid to Africa,he was still greeted like a hero in Africa.If u understand the stranglehold of the left-wing on Western media outlets,then you will understand why you are left with the impression that right wing leaders,like Bush are mad,while left wing leaders like Clinton are much better

@McKren

That is completely and utterly different from claiming that "Putin orders Russian Military Forces to Attack US forces during Iran invasion"

US and Russian/Soviet leaders have been attacking each other in this manner since time immemorial.Every once in a while it escalates like recently.

Unless you think of your wife as private property,its difficult to understand why the question is even being asked.

If u coerce a woman,whether your wife or a total stranger,to have sex with you,that is quite clearly rape

@SMC

Was the other thread blocked?

@mukina

The United States is said to be the most religious nation in the developed world,yet its people are not wallowing in poverty.For instance,compared to Britain,the US has higher income levels but yet is more religious than than Britain

Gulf Arab countries have high levels of religiosity simultaneously with high levels of income

I believe our religiosity is down to a mixture of economic and cultural factors.On one hand,economic deprivation has a part to play but on the other,we have historically been a religious people even before colonisation



I suppose the next question is,why has it been our culture historically to be religious .I think it has to do the fact we have not been exposed to the scale of secularist forces unleashed in the Western World since the Age of Enlightment

Besides we just found Christianity and Islam relatively recently,in the fullness of time its attractions might fade away

That girl  is one of the most annoying

Does anyone seriously believe those reports that Russia is planning to "defend" Iran

Tornadoz:
This question keeps coming back over and over again, but except i missed something(i read every article on this thread) and this is it.
Why should some countries have nuclear arsenals and then prevent others from having same? This defies logic. Here i am well armed and i tell you o'l boy you can't arm yourself, because am armed. I will use my guns wisely but i don't trust you. I don't think you will use your weapons wisely. As i said it defies logic to tell other nations not to arm themselves whilst armed to the teeth yourself.

You obviously didn't read all the articles in this thread,for one thing u are not that jobless to read all 130 of them

The basic presumption of your argument is that it is the Nuclear powers who have demanded nuclear disarmament.Wrong,the most enthusiastic supporters of nuclear disarmament,for obvious reasons,are countries that don't have nukes.

Your analogy is irelevant.If a group of people,some armed some not armed,come together and decide to eradicate arms.The process of eradication is not helped by a few who decide to secretely acquire arms.The people who are most affected by this are those who don't have arms and particularly those who don't have the means to get one .


The overwhelming majority of countries,African countries in particular,don't have the means to develop nukes.It is more in our interest to keep this planet as nuclear free as possible

[quote author=young_digi link=topic=39720.msg883450#msg883450 date=1171298126]exactly, what im tryin to say, i don't understand folks, just because u can't stand the dude doesnt mean u should deny his skills where its due, this is particularly for the person who said 50 is dumb, /, how can u say that about an illiterate thats been in the game for approx 5 years and is worth over $100 million, thats undeniable intelligence.

and yes all 50 had to say in that convo with cam is "Cam, how much did your last album sell?", and that would have been a wrap for him[/quote]The problem with some of the folks here is that they are bunch of [b]groupies.[/b]Instead of just enjoying the music that these millonaires make,they take on beef that has nothing to do with their lives.That's just some childish stuff.

Some folks will condemn any music they hear from G-Unit,like Game is their cousin.The fact of the matter is 50 Cents is one of the best rappers of his generation,if he makes good music I listen,if Game makes good music I listen,if Cam does so,I listen .

Their beef is none of my biz and should be none of yours.
