Adamskuty: i hope u know that they are lebanese

he is good looking and even more handsome then his brother Majid

nobody should be shocked, she is a big woman, so this doesn't surprise me that she looks this way in her bathing suit; she needs to work out and lose the pounds.

Damilola is prettier, Toolz is curvier but hotter it depends but I think Damilola

this shouldn't be a surprise his own obesity killed him, he had it coming sadly

aanumama: this king of swaziland is getting to much popularity on NL

yup lol

harlos: ok i hear you but decisions are made not done, and she made a decision, in short what i'm trying to say is that DID is not the correct word there.

Sorry if any offence.

Pastor Kun: Why Is The British Born Terrorist Being Labelled A Nigerian?

My Fellow Nigerian & My Most Dearest ,

By now you all must have heard of the gruesome killing of a British soldier by 2 young British men in
Woolwich, SE, London yesterday.

One of the young men has been identified as Michael Adeboloja
and is being refered to in ALL media reports as Nigerian/­British
OR British/­Nigerian (whatever3-| )

But do you also know that 16 out of the 541 British athletes at the 2012 Olympics Games were Nigerians ?

They are as follows:

Phillips Idowu,
James Dasaolu,
Andrew Osagie,
Lawrence Okoye,
Abdul Buhari,
Abiodun Oyepitan,
Anyika Onuora,
Margaret Adeoye,
Christine Ohuruogu,
Marilyn Okoro,
Eniola Aluko,
Temitope Fagbenle,
Anthony Ogoro,
Anthony Joshua,
Peter Bakare
and Dami Bakare.

All represented Britain at the Olympics and WERE NEVER refered to as Nigerian/­British.

Nigerians !!!

It is time we reject ALL negative being attached to US as a nation
and take pride in our tradition
and culture.

Let the world know that despite our differences and challenges we are good people with kind hearts
and love and with great respect for the human race.

We have in no small way contributed immensely to the world economy. We are energetic
and industrious and no amount of propaganda by the media can take away our PRIDE.

WE ARE NIGERIANS,

I AM A NIGERIAN & PROUD OF IT
and WE SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE A GENUINE AFRICAN BRAND.

c/s 100%, I find the whole thing funny, I haven't heard yet who those two fools were but in the end of the day there shouldn't be bad labels on Nigerians. I'm nigerian even though I was born and raised in America, and that shouldn't be ignored

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]I think its high time they abolish polygamy.[/quote]well, I don't agree with polygamy but if certain populations in Africa, Asia, Middle East and America want to do it that is their business but I don't think any one should be forced to do if they don't want to, like what that pervert king of swaziland wanted to do to the female(tintswalo) this thread is talking about.

harlos: she made not did.

To ur post u made a wrong decision by quoting the whole news

I'm talking about the fact of her going to the UK for assylum instead of being married to a pervert using polygamy in his defense, I don't see anything wrong in quoting the whole post, because it makes no difference, my post is to the news of her story of running away from that swaziland king lol

onila: King of Swaziland wants to make me his (14th) virgin bride, says woman seeking asylum in the UK

A young woman is seeking asylum in Britain after she spurned the advances of the polyamorous King Mswati III of Swaziland (pictured right) and refused to join his harem of 13 wives.

Tintswalo Ngobeni, 22, fled to England from the southern African nation as a teenager after she caught the attention of the millionaire monarch, a notoriously oppressive ruler known for his lavish lifestyle.

As part of Swazi custom, King Mswati III, 45, is permitted to choose a new bride every year.

Miss Ngobeni, who now lives in Birmingham, was just 15 when the King made his advances after seeing her at the palace of his fourth wife, LaNgangaza. She said she was ‘terrified’ when she learned of his marriage intentions.

she did a good decision

interesting list, I always wondered why it took long when it came to the media talking about the top ten richest Nollywood actors

shugacaneman: what are their net worths. that's all we need

lol

[b]"Do you see the resemblance?

Leonardo DiCaprio's dad George joined "The Great Gatsby" star in France for all the festivities at the Cannes Film Festival. Sporting long hair, it’s obvious that George has the DiCaprio swagger, much like his son. George, 69, is a comic book writer, editor, and distributor. Leo, 38, is close with his dad and the two are regularly photographed together around L.A.

Though his folks split shortly after he was born in Los Angeles in 1974, the "Django Unchained" actor remains close with both parents, whom he has described as "Bohemians in every sense of the word." (His mom, Irmalin, is a German former legal secretary.)

According to ABC's "20/20," DiCaprio's father is credited with giving his son the unique name. When George and a then-pregnant Irmalin were looking at a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci in the Uffizi — a famous art gallery in Italy — Leo began kicking wildly.

"My dad, being the man that picks up on cosmic messages, said that 'His name must be Leonardo,'" DiCaprio revealed on the show. As a child, he often accompanied his father to various comic book stores in L.A., where he would distribute comics and records.

It's clear to see where Leo got his creative side.

While the elder DiCaprio has been snapped hanging out around their hotel with his son, it appears George missed out on an epic night of partying. Leo was photographed dancing up a storm on Monday at the Gotha nightclub with a mystery brunette and BFF Lukas Haas.

We wonder if George DiCaprio is where Leo gets his charm from, too?"[/b]

So cute

bethnals: Plus stereotype never helps. Like 'Hausa' never leaves nigeria etc etc.

True but I am not going to lie I thought at one time that Hausa's don't travel out very much

OMG

bethnals: Lol we can defintely tell when we see a non hausa nigerian. But non-hausa nigerian can never tell a hausa unless you hear the lang.

Interesting I am surprised, I would have never expected differently lol

Rossikk: All we need to do is write down and record the oral history, and it becomes written history. The stories are there. Bloody write them down and stop yacking!!! I honestly don't know what our historians and anthropologists are doing with their time. They could actually make good money searching out the best and most gripping stories from the past, and publishing them as historical works or epics.

Do you know the new testament was written nearly a century after the purported events in it happened?

There is no law that says history must be written down the very moment the events are occurring.

What we should be doing now in earnest is compiling all those ancient stories now, and documenting them in volumes, so that future generations can go into a library and access them.

To a extent it has already been done to a extent(also depending on the tribe), there are books about many tribes of Africa that people can buy in the store or order online

well I don't know, but why not she is pretty

Antivirus92: another thing is,what about tribes that has lasted for hundreds of years. do you think that the oral tradition after 500yrs will still be the same as it was 10 to 20yrs of their existence.

I think it depends on how much the tribes haven't been diluted by outside influence's or let go of some of their practices due to modernization, which at times is inevitable but overall at least 80% of oral tradition can still be held on to, to a extent, Nigerian tribes are a good example.

[quote author=tpia@]back in those days it was common for white men to have children with their black female slaves, so the findings arent that surprising per se. Also, its not really possible the white side didnt know of his mixed descendants- they probably just didnt want to discuss the matter moreso as doing so would entail other, weighty issues.

besides, his brother is also posited as being the father of the mixed race kids. Their mother was 3/4 white and probably also related to jefferson as well, btw.


in any case, oral tradition is supported, not replaced by, archeology. And the descendants had their own oral tradition. Btw, the descendants in question are white, not black.

for africa, doing away with oral tradition is doing away with your history and inviting others to erase it completely.[/quote]It is true it wasn't un-common at all in those days in America but if the DNA results were not released, people would still label it a lie, so I do agree oral tradition is valid and I am not against it but in today's age we need more to back it up.
