TravelRe: Shocking: Popular Cities That Are Not Capitals Of Their Countries. by Akpacha(m): 9:17pm On Nov 23, 2018
davodyguy:
Believe it or not, this thread would shock a lot of people as i was shocked.

There are some cities that are very popular in some countries that we think they're the national capitals, whereas they're not.

Lets Start.

1. Dubai: Dubai is not a country as many people might believe. You hear people say "I'm going to Dubai'.
Dubai is a city in a country called UAE (United Arab Emirates) The capital of UAE is not Dubai, rather it is Abu Dhabi
Dubai is the largest city not a country or capital.

2. Johannesburg: Nigeria played South Africa last Saturday and i'm sure a lot of Nigerians would think Johannesburg is the capital.
Interestingly, South Africa has three capital cities, none of which are "Jo'Burg". Divided by branch of government, the capitals are: capital of the judiciary is Bloemfontein, capital of the administrative branch is Pretoria with Cape Town acting as the country's legislative capital.

3. Sydney: Since the Olympics in year 2000 (Sydney 2000) A lot of people think Sydney is the capital of Australia. It is not. Iconic though its harbor and opera house may be, it doesn't get star billing. Canberra, which is just a few years away from its centennial celebration, is actually capital of the land. It is not Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.

4. Munich/Frankfurt: Many Nigerians would know Munich and Bayern Munich or 1860 Munich, likewise Frankfurt when JJ Okocha played in Germany. Well the Capital of Germany is Berlin.

5. Istanbul, Turkey: It may have served as capital to ancient Romans and Ottomans, but that designation is long gone for Istanbul. Ankara, a city that is perhaps most famous for its angora-producing goats, is the capital. Ankara is not the same as Aso Ebi ooo grin Many people might think the capital is 'Galatasaray' or Fenerbahçe

6. Switzerland: This country serves as HQ for many world Organizations like the UN, UNESCO etc. The capital is not Geneva, Neither this nor Zurich serve as this precise country's capital. The picturesque, tranquil, UNESCO-recognized town of Bern holds this honor. Roger Federer is from Basle, but not the capital.

7. Brazil: How many of you think the capital of Brazil is Rio? It's fun, exciting and has something for everyone, but that still doesn't make it Brazil's capital. While the city famous for the carnival used to be the capital, Brasilia now takes that position, not even São Paulo

8. Casablanca: Football fans are familiar with Raja Casablanca and tourists are familiar with Fez or Marrakesh. Not only is Casablanca not the capital of Morocco, neither are the other two top contenders, Fez or Marrakesh. Peaceful and culture-rich Rabat serves as this North African country's capital.

9. USA: In Trump's America, the Capital is not Las Vegas, California, Chicago, Florida or New York City. It is Washington DC

10. Spain: Many may think it is Barcelona, since Lionel Messi plays there. Capital is actually Madrid.

11. Côte d'Ivoire: In drogba's country, the capital is not Abidjan. It is Yamoussoukro

12. Italy: Capital is Rome not Milan or Juventus lol

13. Nigeria: Capital is Abuja not Lagos or Aba grin grin

14. State of Palestine: Capital is actually East Jerusalem and not Gaza City

the "wretched" as u call them are richer than u. The bible says in psalm126, those that sow in tears shall reap in joy, they shall DOUBTLESS come back rejoicing with their harvest. The bible also says that God is not unfaithful to forget their labour of love so unless u want to tell me to believe u over my Bible, sit and learn.
lol those are d Bible verses used to confusing ur poor brain! I pity u, I wish u wouldn't die in ur ignorance.

The dullard has not issued a personal statement yet, talk more of visiting the DSP. Its obvious the Lifeless has something to do with this assassination attempt on the DSP.

This is definitely all political, since the man refused to decamp, even when the FG thought they already had him in the bag.
lol wait and see how he would rush now, the lifeless would wish they back dates his visit or comment on the attack, u know he is always in competition with GEJ.

NwaAmaikpe:
shocked



The day my wife kneels in front of an incompetent weakling like GEJ will be the day her family will return everything I bought in that mighty marriage list and take back their daughter.

I'd be disappointed if Ekwerenmadu does not sanction his wife for this act of sycophancy.
Who doesn't know that the prayer of every PDP office holder's wife is that their husband shouldn't be as timid and clueless as GEJ.

It's obvious GEJ now regrets handing over out of fear, so he wants to keep his relevance by unnecessarily gallivanting in order to whip up unmerited accolades from myopics whose sentiments are easily swayed.

By the way,
What type of fvckery is this?
Why are some people megalomaniacs. I honestly never considered Ike Ekwerenmadu as one but the centre-rug in his living room changes all of that impression now.
U are a very poor man, u and ur entire family will never have such opportunity to getting that close to GEJ.
