Did I just hear this guy trying to use religion to defend frank segregation? God! I'm tired of this generation.

Guy give up on yourself, i have been a victim of racism in England many times but you just know some of their attitude towards you isnt racist behaviour, its simpy rules. I just explained something in my last post read and digest. The chinese that turned him back didnt use derogatory words on him so it might not be racism. Thats why i said the only way we can confirm if its racism is if a white or indian man walks into the supermarket buys some items and walks out. It is not everywhere owned by Nigerians you as a person can enter in Nigeria. Some places are simply reserved. So will you term that racism/ tribalism too or is it cause your skin colour is different from theirs thats why everything they do is racism. Reason deep man.

Uduak2019:
I don't even consider Eastern Europeans whites...Western European don't see them as real whites, they are even racists towards them...LOL. When I mean whites..I mean Americans, Canadians, Australians and Western Europeans.

They are white caucasians just that they are a babaric type of whites. In the UK, some british refer to them as white niggas. You used whites generally not the ones in the west that was why i had to remind of you of those type of whites.

Mods please close down this thread before it excalates into something else. Nairaland has gone past this phase of Yoruba vs Igbo E- war

louqas:
You are a learner , if I was told somewhere is a private property I simply don't trespass . All this talk of Mandela and Rosa parks fighting for equality is different from the topic here. Are private clubs that allow members only in Nigeria owned by Chinese?

I agree with you, we shouldnt term everrything racism. What if they do some Buddhism worship inside there and they sell some worship materials for buddhist and I doubt if any Nigerian is buddhist.The only way you can confirm if racism is behind the situation, is if you see a white or indian man walk into the supermarket.

Uduak2019:
The most racists sets of people or nationalities towards blacks are Chinese, Arabs and Indians. I'll live with a racist white person than these people.White people no matter how racist some might be, one thing you can't take away from them is they have hearts and sympathy.

You can test this yourself: go in front of a Chinese, Arab, Indian or a White (European, American or Australian) and pretend to be dying, make sure you are very dark-skinned, come back and tell me who will attend to you, and treat you like a human.

You think so, wait till you meet Eastern Europeans like Russians,Ukrainians and Polish then you will know ow far. They will even stab you right there and finish you off. Those ones you mentioned( Americans, British, Frenchs and Australians) have long history with Blacks not Eastern Europeans that hunt blacks down like animals.

You are right abt the " No matter how much you spend on a girl she will still say you havent done anything" I think they think because they give us Sex they are doing us a favour. Thats why i dont know the difference between them and prostitutes. The money you spend on them have expiry date. They wont spend their money to buy you a little gift all is to collect and give sex. Your own money is our money, theirs is my money. All the money na on top cloth, makeup and weave-on. Shameless species.

OP your head dey there jare. Some girls on NL keep saying its the kind of girls you roll with but when all men keeps wailing over the same issue, is it that all men roll with wrong girls? My answer is No, good women are going extinct just as virgin girls are going extinct.

PaulKillerman:
Look madam, you ll be like the 100th person I'll be telling this, I'm not thinking of marriage, I'm 31(so u know I'm not a kid) and I'm well to do, I have told my mum, if she continues pestering me with marriage I'll simply go and get a girl pregnant, bring the child for her to nurse, as children happens to be her problem...
And to answer your question overlooking the innuendos, if I happen to have a daughter, I'll give her all she needs and train her to be the best of herself, not seeing men as money bags, or seeing her pussyy as an ATM, I'll show her how to have self worth for herself and wear some garment of pride. But if peradventure she throws that away and decides to leave like all you girls I'm seeing everyday, that turn themselves prostitutes in school they are sent to, and use the proceeds for brazzillian hair and all other stupidities, then I'll be very happy for men to also treat her like the LovePeddler she built herself to become, like a sex object that has no self worth or value....

So MA, that is me... I treat people the way they treat themselves, and till date I can tell you, girls haven't given people the cause to respect them and see them more than sex objects.... Remember, " respect is earned never conferred"..

I still remain Paulkillerman...

I dey feel you guy, i now see reason why in the days of old, the society did not give women freedom like Men, they simply cant handle freedom that is why women are better cheaters than men now. My Nigga Chris Brown's quotes
" These hoes aint Loyal"
" Give a bi*tch an inch she will take 9"
" Take a bi*tch out of the club,try to treat her right, she will be back at the club". Most women are bi*tches.

codemaniacs:
On wikipedia its 40% agric contributes, but just last week CNN said its 20%. That's why I chose 20%.

Herdsmen attack farms in the south.. That should tell u agric contributes a lot and some people want to destroy agriculture.

There are very rich southerners that make their money from agriculture but the main focus is on oil.

You cant lie bt i serzly doubt that, if true that means Oil is contributing just abt 50% cause i know port revenue from customs, NPA and FIRS taxes contribute more than Agriculture.

codemaniacs:
The north does not produce tomatoes its the middlebelt and the south that produces most of the food we eat.

Agriculture contributes 20% to the GDP.

You are right about Agriculture contibuting to the GDP but 20% is wrong. I am Yoruba but lets always say the truth, Oil contributes abt 75% while Lagos( NPA, Customs and taxes from FIRS) contribute abt 20%. Agriculture is abt 5%

Ramsey247:
why on earth should the govt. be sharing money based on population.

That of Lagos is justified with population, port revenue( NPA and Customs) and Taxes(FIRS) but that of the North isnt.Lagos houses all people from various states and tribes in Nigeria, the port and taxes earn the FG about 15-20% of the Revenue.

I agree with a lot of people with the fact that some of the highly populated Northern states shdnt be allocated more than some of the oil producing states. Lagos to me is Justified anyway because how can a state house 20 million Nigerians from all States and tribes and also contribute abt 15% of the Federal earnings from Port activities(NPA and Customs) and Taxes(FIRS) be earning far less than Bayelsa with a population of 2million people from majorly one tribe. Percentage earnings of Lagos and Bayelsa is abt the same but Lagos houses approximately 13% of the whole Nigeria.

Fayose is using this as a political blackmail on the APC led FG. Fine it was an APC campaign promise but he shd ask himself is it a good project or not? He said the state wont even contribute 10% funds meaning even if they have the funds they wont contribute it. It is for the benefit of all since State owned schools too will benefit and the APC led FG is not limiting it to only Federal Government and Unity schools so why cant Ekiti try to contribute something no matter how little. What will it take to contribute some bags of beans, rice etc to at least feed this kids. Smh for the man, Ekiti people made a terrible mistake.

mightykay:
when thier elders and parents are equal criminals, where will they get moral to instill? well, they can steal it anyway.

True Hahaha!

To be honest, though all Nigerians are involved in one crime or the other but it is too rampant among the igbos. Igbo elders and parents need to instill good morals on their children. This attitude of "quick money" or "i must be rich by all means" syndrome among igbos is too much.

True talk OP, we cant deny this fact all women love comfort. But this over dependancy on money is caused by the Nigerian factor. Too much poverty in the land and low moral value, why should love be attached to money its not normal but in a country like Nigeria where morals is very low, everybody wants to be rich and the true fact is that everybody cannot be rich. Why can't we emulate countries like the phillipines where their women are content and will live with a man regardless of his status. Every man whether rich or poor deserves to be loved but in Nigeria only rich men gets to be loved and respected.That is why we are one of the most fantastically corrupt nation, crime, prostitution and insecuruties abound everywhere because everybody wants to b rich.Nigeria a relative poor country but wants to live like America a rich country.

ronald4lif:
Well, sh1t happens. Guys shouldn't spend more than they can afford or forgo when dating, so they don't feel cheated when things like this happens. My rule is not to get overly attached to any woman, just enjoy the moment while it last and if she leaves her loss not mine.

No way you wont attach yourself to a woman if you date her for long.

Infact bad roads dey cause so much troubles on cars. I just spent roughly 120k on my car last week and before it gets back to perfect form still have to spend another 100k as money no dey to buy new one.

Is too bad i bumped into this thread late. We all know how much money that has been pumped to the region in the last 8-9 years or so right from the days of agitation during OBJ's second term. The agitation led to the creation of NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta affairs, 13% derivatives, Amensty programme( which includes payment in cash to ex- militants and fully funded scholarship every year overseas training), Huge allocations to oil producing states, Royalties from the Oil majors to oil producing communities. All these leading to Billions of dollars annually. When i saw the publication from RMFAC on allocation to all the states i noticed if you add all the allocation of the four major oil producing states (Akwa- ibom, Delta,Rivers and Bayelsa) all together it is more than what the rest of the 32 states earn all toghether. An educated Ijaw analyst on radio said in the last 8 years, Delta and Bayelsa states have received up to 8 trillion naira in cash payment * note* Bayelsa stills owes her workers 6 months plus salary. I have been to all the states in the Niger delta region except Akwa-ibom and can still how less developed they are ( especailly Bayelsa one of the least developed state in Nigeria).


Now let us analyse this, we cannot completely exempt the FG for the injustice done to the Niger delta over the years but i can categorically tell you that the greater injustice is been done by the Niger delta leaders.

I am very sure if all region is allowed to control their resources, the Niger delta will still be undeveloped.

The youths from ND on Nairaland keep talking abt injustice, ask yourselves what was Nigeria/the now Niger delta living on before the full exploration and production of oil in the 70's? Where did the money for exploration and production of oil come from?

I am proud of my Omo Oodua brothers and sisters, any sensible human being should know that Violence or war shd always be the last resort in settling a dispute lest you destroy everything you have built over years in a twinkle of an eye. Here is a quote by great men of war for all the Flat heads " Why resort to war when you will eventually come back to dialogue or the round table after you have destroyed everything"

If true then i give up on this country called Nigeria.

Great one OP though i knew this long ago before my study in the UK. Funny enough a friend asked me for a detailed explanation a-day- before ystdy.

All these judgement na story for the gods, Nigeria controls ECOWAS. Govt no go pay 1 naira.

nortcentrallord:
Have you been to Niger Delta Villages before? It's easy to proffer solutions from the hills to happenings down the valley. Let the truth be told, the only option this government has is negotiation. The terrain is peculiar. If the NA couldn't defeat BH that engaged them in open field until they got help of neighboring countries, how then do u think they can defeat people that employ Ninja/Guerrilla tactics. Just in case you know, you cant even take pictures on oil rigs because of the presence of gas which can be ignited not to talk of gunshot. This is a clear case of Tse Tse fly on a testis.

Nothing i have said has to do with the peculiarity of the region. I didnt say they should level the place. They shd evacuate people from the oil producing communities for a while, house them feed them etc and engage anybody that is left there will be known as an enemy and a suspect. Identify the camps of these millitants in thr creeks and use air strikes on them so no civilian casualties will be recorded

My advice to the govt will be to evacuate families in those communities away from those oil installations for the time being and anybody found in those communities shd be arrested or killed as the case maybe.

There was a time i had a problem similar to the OP's own. Each night i call my gf (now ex) arnd 8-9pm her number is always busy for like 45mins. OP lets not lie to ourselves, the world has evolved women have now taken over the cheating game from Men. The rate at which Men wail over bullshit attitude and behaviour of their women these days is alarming.

Sexytemi:
Am i d one noticing that that ain't her in that condolence picture, abeg @ o.p u sure say na d right house you take snap picture so?.

That is not the Henrietta Kosoko we see on the screen and that is definitely not Jide Kosoko's house coz i know his big mansion at Kola, command area. This OP sef, something is wrong with this report.

beGOOD4aba:
This Kosoko house sef. Anyway, RIP to d dead

That is definitely not Jide Kosoko's house, i know his huge mansion at ikola, command around Ipaja side.

This is where you know this country is fu*cked up,upon the shortfall in revenue generation from these agencies and Oil revenue,the RMFAC will not reduce the allocations to NASS that does not generate any revenue but spends, the Governors will not reduce their own salaries, its the Masses that will bear the brunt. Little capital projects, no salaries for civil servants.

Sprintson:
Am forced to reply some fools here.....
NA does not need to kill the people there for them to produce Tompolo and NDA, first the world has been careful in syria to avoid human casualties and here we are putting fear in the people.
why can't the govt for once develop that region then the milliants won't have anything to promise them again,they lack light,water and other basics yet one bastard from the city is running his mouth coz their money was used in developing cities..
If na you be ijaw man u go hate NIG..shikena

The problem i have with you people is that you dont reason deep. The FG is doing everything possible to develop the Niger delta by giving Niger delta state govts huge allocations, 13% derivatives, NDDC allocations,Ministry of Niger delta affairs huge allocations, Royalties from Oil majors. Except you want them to stop these allocations and develop it themselves( i mean the FG). These things might not be enough bt the FG has taken a good step to developing the Niger Delta, besides the population in these region is small compared to the rest of Nigeria, i dont see any reason why these areas especially Delta and Bayelsa shdnt be developed. You dont see trouble emanating from Akwa- ibom and Rivers because their people are still hardworking compared to Bayelsa and parts of delta full of lazy people. They shd fight for increment of the 13% derivatives through dialogue not blowing up pipelines that affects their people more than its affecting the rest of Nigeria.

Even people who built those houses know the risk involved but they still went ahead to erect structures under the high tension. Those lands have no C of O coz they are not from the state govt, they were sold to them by the greedy omoniles. There is an array of high tension close to my area and u need to see some good structures built under them, the shanties will not feel it too much coz they already know whats up.
The noise those high tension makes at Mid night should scare anybody who wants to build under them but na greed dey worry people.

My first experience of this issue as a guy was when i was in 100 level abt 11 yrs back. I sat for an exam and i was so focused on finishing each question, only for this lecturer to come out of nowhere to accuse me and the guy next to me that we were cheating, he collected our question papers and ordered us out of the hall. Thank God have finished abt 80% of the questions, i didnt even know what the guy next to me looked like. The guy approached me outside of the hall where i was worried abt not finishing my exam, he told me " No mind that yeye lecturer he don tell me make i leave my babe for am or else hin no go graduate me for this school" Omo i shock so the only way he could implicate that guy was to rub me in the so called cheating scandal so he could get to the guy. Na wa for our lecturers, i hope this bill really keep them in check.
