davidylan: The Ethiopian jews are not the ones complaining... it is mostly sudanese migrants.^again, another nonsensical comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63gMMsDOm8Y |
davidylan: Did you even read the post you were quoting? I was simply talking about immigration laws and not whether one race of people are entitled to Israel or not. Apparently you have an agenda... one that is opposed to the very notion of a jewish state.Every 1st generation Jew in Israel is an "immigrant" technically. whether they come from Russia or Germany or USA or Syria or Ethiopia. Many of them came to israel because they were escaping from something. whether it is a feeling of homelessness or persecution. Your assertion that Ethiopian jews should "settle" for second class citizenship because they come from a third world country is very senseless. |
davidylan: 1. they are not treated as second citizens, that is another nonsensical falsehood propagated by those with a devious agenda.You need to go and sit down in a corner. your comments aren't making any sense at all. in fact, u are only stubbornly grasping at straws. |
rubbish. Why isn't stuff like this censored? Do they show it on TV? igbo_barbie: what a disgrace. Some women have no shame.Do you not see the agbaya man in the bathtub as well? Why reserve blame for only d woman? |
nobody has heard of him maybe that's why he has managed to stay in "power" for that long. |
davidylan: So a "non-racist" state is one that welcomes african migrants from wherever failed state they have come with open arms regardless of the unfavourable economic consequences? Sorry, the rest of the world does not owe africans an escape route from their fundamental inability to create a viable state for themselves. There are immigration rules for a reason, i didnt hear any of you whinning about racism when Nigeria kicked ghanaians out in the 80s.you are very mistaken. The African Jews are not any less entitled to Israel as European or Asiatic jews. That is the misconception on your part that just because they are black, they are unworthy of going "home" to israel. Israel cannot refuse to admit Ethiopian jews because the very existence of Israel is to serve as home to all jews around the world whether in the middle east/asia (brown), europe (white), or africa (black). jews are technically not actually a race. There are different sects Ashkenazi, the Jews of Germany and Northern France (in Hebrew, Ashkenaz) · Sephardi, the Jews of Iberia (in Hebrew, Sepharad) and the Spanish diaspora · Mizrahi, or Oriental Jews Beta Israel (Ethiopian jews) Bene Israel (Indian Jews) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Israel |
Just about every news article that talks about this new "miss israel" also recognizes the "coincidence" in d article read this article below as an example: ------ In February, 21-year-old Yityish Aynaw became the first black Miss Israel. Born in Ethiopia, Aynaw was orphaned at the age of 12 and her maternal grandparents, already settled in Israel, sent for her and her younger brother. The rest, as they say, is history. Or it would be, if Israel wasn’t still grappling with its own history of discrimination against black Ethiopian Jews since the first planeload were flown into Israel more than three decades ago. To understand both the significance and the hypocrisy of Aynaw’s victory it is necessary to look at this history. Living in highly segregated communities, they have complained of being refused jobs, housing, and their children being denied places in schools. This widespread and ongoing prejudice finally prompted thousands to protest in anti-racism rallies last year. But nothing signifies the endemic discrimination against this community more than the bombshell that was the Israeli government’s admission that it was guilty of giving birth control to Ethiopian Jewish women, without their full consent. While they were still in transit camps in Ethiopia, women were either misled or coerced into accepting injections of Depo-Provera. ‘They told us they are inoculations’, one victim told the Israeli investigative journalist who broke the story. ‘They told us people who frequently give birth suffer. We took it every three months. We said we didn’t want to.’ While some were persuaded to take the inoculation, others were told, point blank, that they could not emigrate if they refused the injections. The birth rate of Israel’s Ethiopian community has decreased by 50 percent, even as the birth rate of the general population increased with rights groups directly blaming the government’s deliberate drive to forcibly restrict and limit the fertility of Ethiopian women. So what then, to make of Aynaw’s crowning as Israel’s latest beauty queen (apart, that is, from the irony inherent in treating winning an appearance-based contest as some sort of victory for human rights)? Aynaw is said to have won the judges over by declaring it was simply ‘time’ for a black woman to take the crown. It is indeed tempting to take her triumph as a sign that things are changing but her victory is at best purely symbolic and at worst utterly cynical. http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/the-hypocrisy-of--a-black-miss-israel-20130401-2h2qr.html |
davidylan: and you know this is a PR scam how? You live in Israel now? It is one thing to make a "point", it is another to make sure it makes a shred of sense.dude. It seems like you don't follow the news. ---In Dec-January, news broke that Israel was sterilizing Ethiopian women in Israel. or at least forcing very strong birth control medicine (same one used to sterilize animals) on them and then lying to the woman by claiming that they were being vaccinated. This scandal was picked up by international press in January. ---In February, Israel crowns an Ethiopian woman as its most beautiful woman. Miss Israel how fast they put their Public Relations dept to use. hmm coincidence much? The irony is the saddest considering the genocide israelis faced in d past in Europe. yet they are now choosing to carry out genocide on a population in their midst. |
the trousers are too long. they make her look short. Tiwa, put on high heels with that outfit next time. |
maryjames9: i don't think it's hatred,rather SW people know Leadership when they see one. Fashola is one but Uncle Clueless is not.I agree. Fashola set an example of what a good leader should look like. maybe yoruba people just have higher expectations nowadays ![]() |
the funniest thing is that one main reason yorubas don't like him is the way he has performed on the Boko-Haram issue. Very very ineptly. You would think that Igbos would be the ones most angry at him for his performance on this issue, yet they worship him. Very paradoxical. Also, the fuel subsidy crisis from last yr was just ridiculous and showed him to be a puppet of the IMF. |
I hope they got a pre-nup because he could be walking away with a fortune. good for him! that family is just a charade anway |
DaLover: Do you mind to share those expectations, can we subject them to some analysis?so you think GEJ is a competent president? |
every child's mental image of God will be formed from the pictures they see in books and such. I think that's kind of obvious. This is why art is important. It shapes our views. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Cima_da_Conegliano%2C_God_the_Father.jpg/300px-Cima_da_Conegliano%2C_God_the_Father.jpghttps://www.calvarywilmington.org/images/jesus/jesus-god-heaven.jpg https://www.shalombewithyou.com/wp-content/uploads/yapb_cache/globe_in_gods_hands3.at9496k9cls844s00ow4wow8c.6ylu316ao144c8c4woosog48w.th.jpeg |
Yoruba people don't hate him. But we are candid and honest in our appraisal of his tenure. The guy hasn't risen to the level of expectation we had for him when we elected him so obviously we aren't too happy. We expected him to be an action man as opposed to Yara'dull. But GEJ is proving to be even duller that we imagine. He acts like a puppet. Unlike the Igbos, we are not fawning over him and singing his praises. I guess in your eyes, that means we hate him? Not so. |
why be thankful for a CURSE. can't wait till oil runs out. then maybe we will act more seriously and responsibly about our economy. |
ROTFLMAO when will igboland hold a 3 day sit at home in honor of these heroes who were dumped in the river by their fellow Biafra country mates ![]() comedy at its best |
she's definitely very toned. She must have worked her body really hard to bag the French Open. [img]http://siusopen.files./2013/06/170165622a.jpg?w=410&h=578[/img] |
when will MASSOB declare 3 day sit at home in honor of these heroes. All these things will not happen if Biafra is materialized |
novicali: How many Northerners are in the western part of Nigeria?there are actually quite a lot. all those mallams. but they are not noise makers like the igbo. all those spare part dealers. |
