axeman85:
if its my post your referring to, what i meant there was its this useless culture that gives the wife to be calling her husbands younger ones auntie and uncle even tho they are much younger than her.

now that's just plain wrong.

whiteroses:
lol @ the person that says naija parent makes their kids call each other auntie/brother if they are older than each other, my parent were quite easy going and we call each other names but i rem my cousins call their elders auntie, so when they visit and they call us auntie we'd laugh at them so hard till they are embarassed, and we'd say call us by our names but it'll sound heavy in their mouth lol who made that culture anyway auntie ko

I see nothing wrong in calling your elders auntie or brother but it seems abused with the whole "I'm i your mate" mentality some Nigerians have.

Kx:
for a moment i thought i was reading about KFC or Mr Biggs.

of course, why do you think RCCG is competing with McDonalds for more branches in every corner

lol@heaven go get gate fee.

It seems the $400 million approves by Bush is working.

http://www.france24.com/en/20080701-us-funding-secret-ops-against-iran-us-iran

L ate last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership. The covert activities involve support of the minority Ahwazi Arab and Baluchi groups and other dissident organizations. They also include gathering intelligence about Iran’s suspected nuclear-weapons program.

here we go again, when all else fails blame the west.

Gekko:
So,at what point does it end? How can we turn the pages? Things can't continue like this forever.

it has to start with their education and the media, what are school children in the north being taught and what do they listen to on their local radios or in the mosque?  

Like they do in Europe, The Nigerian government may need to start spying on mosques.

countries like the UK and France are not on the list (even though they have their own sickos) because the US believes they can manage the problem. Can you trust the Nigerian government which claimed not to know Ribadu was in the country to curb terrorism?

You also forget the UK is america's bingo and deserves passes from time to time

Cry me a river.

it's funny how mutallab is now a Briton (ignoring his ancestry while focusing on his birthplace).  You guys would be claiming him up and down if he was a noble prize winner.  Nigerian has earned the right to be a country of concern thanks to its long history of inter ethnic/religious warfare.

We (future of this country) need to come together as one and let America know that we are peaceful people who do not have time to plan evil things against other countries.

yes Odi village, boko haram etc never happened.

Afam:
No one is equating inhuman treatment to body scanners so look for something else to hinge your statements on.

so what do u consider inhumane treatment?

Gekko:
I agree wholeheartedly. And this can only work if political and religious leaders of the North start being honest with their counterparts.  
They need to demystify their message and stop spreading fears and fantasies to individuals in the North.

but that's what gets votes in countries like Nigeria and kenya. It pays them to keep Nigerians ignorant.

violent:
well said

But how do you achieve a secular education when people preach, and fight against it?
I also don't believe poverty is a common cause, there is poverty in the south as well, Umar the leg bomber was not poor, and yet i believed before he was apprehended he probably preached extremism too

doesn't the south have groups such as MEND,massob, opc etc who used poverty/marginalization as an excuse for violence?  We need to stop singling out the north as if the south is that much better.  We would continue to have religious extremism if religions leaders preach intolerance and call each other infidels or unbelievers.

Afam:
Unfortunately, we have shameless Nigerians that will not only justify the US actions but will support them even if such actions will subject them to inhuman treatment.

Installing body scanners in airports is definitely inhumane. You guys are something else, The US has the right to protect its border even if it means inconveniencing travelers (yes that includes searching your balls)

the only solution to such extremism is secular education and poverty alleviation.

what does yemen and nigeria have in common? poverty and illiteracy.   It would be wrong to attack Islam considering Islamic countries like turkey are peaceful. The constitution must be enforced at all costs, sharia law shouldn't be allowed to exist in a so-called secular country.

biina:
said she wasnt driving fast and that chris jumped. I am, as sure as one can be without being there, that she was driving fast. You dont cruise when you are having a dispute with someone. If she really cared, she would have stopped.

i know, she didn't even stop after he fell off.

JeSoul:
So how are ya'll preparing for the draft? oh wait my bad, you traded all your picks for Cutler!

who needs ist and 2nd round pics when u can find gems like lance briggs in the 3rd round

oyb:
looks like becomrich has a new disciple

oh no, he can finally prove there are more cows than humans in kaduna.

happy new year man.

what do we gain by reclaiming bakassi from cameroun? that area was undeveloped by the Nigerian government, the only reason we care about it is the oil.

luol deng is actually playing well, john salmon is another story that would be addressed by getting a real SG and moving him to the bench he belongs in.

noah has been a nice story.

H2O2:
I  don't buy Chris Henry's fiancee's story.  Fishy

what did she say

congrats to davidylan

SEFAGO:
Are you guys shocked about this? This is quite expected. After 9/11 a lot of Arabs complained about a similar victimization by the media. In our case, CNN stopped calling the guy Umar, and started calling him "The Nigerian" . They have already successful described us as terrorists. If the guy had succeeded (God forbid) I can bet you that there would have been random attacks on Nigerians by people which would have been rationally justified by the right-wing. You guys should get ready for the worst and take it as it comes.

Proudly Nigerian _{or Jamaican when need be}

I agree, it comes with the territory. at least fox news isn't calling us the "enemy" yet.

FL Gators:
[color=dodgerblue]LOL but seriously though, cant he be forcefully removed?[/color]

a coup? he could be impeached though.

[quote author=THE.AMAKA link=topic=375544.msg5249773#msg5249773 date=1262649195]are you serious? the US and their fuking propaganda!! wth is all this
they are just looking for ways to start calling Nigeria a terrorist nation and start black listing us.
fuking fools, they are always being sneaky about some shizz. i really don't trust them.[/quote]I agree it's all propaganda, boko haram and certain cities in Nigeria rejoicing during the 9/11 attacks was all propaganda.  Religious extremism definitely doesn't exist in the federal republic of nigeria.

JeSoul:
And oh Happy NEW YEAR to my girl Chiogo, my fellow Bostonian in this land of aliens 

Happy new year to even you Peroxide, I fancy you much inspite of your evil laker affiliations, I forgive you. Go and sin no more.

And A-40 I wish you and the Mavs much success  lawd knows you need it esp after last night! lol

and ditto to Bawo, you most of all def needs a turnaround. . . Chicago teams must be giving you sleepless nights. Happy new year to all!

the bulls are having a turn around, derrick rose is back to true form.   The bulls aren't playing for anything, we all know the real season for the bulls is during free agency.  we are watching you dwayne wade.

the blackhawks are making me pround anyway

ha well, Nigerians applying for visa are going to have it tougher now.

btw, where's Bawo? I know times are awfully tough for chicago teams but take heart brother, trouble don't last always Grin

hehe i'm still alive, happy new year to you guys.

At least Cutler seems to turning around over the last couple of games.

daisies:
i totally agree wit you the lady is hardworking and same goes for jay z, they both worked hard to get to where they are today, there is no reason for her to sell her videos to the public in such scandalous outfits, may she has forgotten that she is already a brand and most people are hoping to be like her.

what's so scandalous about her outfits? Go watch Mary Mary if you have a problem with pop videos.

Yes they are pretty long. i stop by the first paragraph or so.

Keep it short and simple.

Only if we could get festus keyamo and femi falana involved.

Deep Sight:
Tudor, i have no business with the OP, but let me just say as a diversion that i have worked in Kenya and Uganda, and i can comfortably state that they are a slightly different lot than west africans in terms of the generality of their skin. . .

Now the truth is historically eastern and southern african people have been subject to greater inter-race mixing than many west africans, so you can detect a slight deviation from pure negroid in many (not all o) of them.

I also read a report of a study of gene pools in Africa and it was found that west africans as a group are probably the only core and generally unspoilt negoroes in the african continent as at today.

These are not fixed facts, but only very brodd generalistic observations which i think contain some truth as i have been extensively in east and south africa.

As to black jews i dont know anything about that, but there were trade relations in the past - Egypt/ Ethiopa etc.

lol@unspoilt, there were cases of mixing going on in west africa especially in the french colonies. I guess being mixed means you are spoilt.

You guys are something else.

No2Atheism:
do you mean they don come as in I am lying

or

do you mean they don come as in you are hearing that for the first time. . .


I would appreciate that you clarify.

It just amazes me when folks try to paint things as either black or white.  Using modern day racial classifications to rewrite history is just strange to me.   You can go on with your Afrocentric propaganda though. why can't jews just be jews and egyptians be egyptians?
