babyosisi: Why did she hold him?
Nonsense

so he can take care of the wahala he started. dude wants to abscond responsibilities

Italiano1: Was this necessary?

I think you are trying to incite hatred here. I am shocked you have not been banned

I wouldnt worry about it. Shebi he has a father too?

RIP. At least the old man almost hit 80

Prof Corruption: I have read the entire piece and must confess it's one of the most badly written articles I have read in a short while. It bears fingerprint of cowardice. The drivel could be summarized in a sentence: "Sowore sexually harassed me and hated me with passion" . Yet she was not bold enough to mention Sowore or Sahara Reporters in the entire piece which then questions or brings to the fore the entire motive behind the write up. She seems to be working to either provoke some sort of controversy or cast aspersion on Sahara Reporters.

No evidence, documentary or circumstantial was provided to justify or substantiate the allegation. Since SaharaReporters exposes this kind of allegations she made against the publisher, one is at lost why she's not publishing same on the news blog. She alleged work agreement was stolen from her file but what prevented her from having a copy somewhere else or a soft copy considering the paperless campaign that seems to dominate secretarial duties these days.

Chika Oduah looked like a really stand-up type of girl to me. Frankly, I was a fan when she was on Sahara Reporters and couldnt fathom why she would leave when she was getting popular. I doubt she would make this up. Anyone have a link to this?

Heres a linky: http://www.bellanaija.com/2013/08/05/chika-oduah-it-happened-to-me/

I cant say I'm surprised. Still it is suspicious though that she never left the SR for years until she was fired. If she felt harassed I have to think someone with her talents would have jumped ship earlier. Maybe she's a southern gal, but surely she isnt that slow.

welcome to 2013. please dont go back under the rock

Ayatullah: I am not pointing at another man's inadequecies to justify 'our' own, I am only reminding us that we all belong to the human race, White, Black, or Whatever Colour and prone to commit evil act, so I do not believe a particular race is BLACK-HEARTED.

Please tell them. At least we heard about it and the police are now involved.

KidStranglehold: Sorry but I am well versed in anthropology and genetics, more than you. So I KNOW what I am talking about. In anthropology we don't use terms such as caucasian, black or white because they are NOT genetically defined just like Negroid is not genetically defined. Yet a certain Somali loves using that word.

You see yourself? So because they taught you that black is not "genetically defined", you too, a black man swallowed this and just nodded in agreement. Fela was right. Book sense is not belle sense. Anyways sha, on to a few references:

David Imhotep: The First Americans Were Africans. I'm actually still reading this.
Ivan van Sertima - Africans in Early America - my favorite
Dr Wiercinski - An anthropological study of the olmecs the nost thorough and most peer reviewed. Fortunately, my life is not boring enough to find the full text

Your first paragraph doesn't even make sense so I just decided to ignore it. If you truly think indigenous Malaysians or Australian aboriginals are African then please post me a genetic study that CONFIRMS they have recent African roots and not this melanin garbage. I'll wait.

Of course it wouldn't make sense to you. Not only are you a trained anthropologist (nothing wrong with that), but you obviously refuse to see any framework outside of what you have been taught, as evidenced by your blithe discounting of the term "black". If you want an understanding of the first paragraph, I recommend

Dr Cress Welsing - The Isis papers . she's a psychologist by the way so it should be quite an education for you I hope

At this point its really not about what kind of expert you are. Its about how open minded you are to questioning "auhtoritative" professors who tell you black is white and vice versa. And if it suits you to believe that a Caucasian is closer to an African than an Australian aboriginal, go ahead. I'm not joining you on the short bus.

KidStranglehold: Everyone has African roots if you go back 60k years. Fact is Europeans are closer to modern day Africans than those Malaysians and Australian. That Malaysian girl does NOT have African roots since she is not from Africa. Her looks is just due to adaptation to environment. She is more related to neighboring Asians. Again Pacific Islanders(like Australian Aborigines) and indigenous Malaysians are genetically DISTANT from Africans, more distant than Europeans.

Melanin is the key. Absence of melanin is recessive gene, so its very obvious obvious that ab-original peoples would be essentially Africans, seeing as they are fundamentally black. Interestingly, its how Europeans distinguish themselves from others for centuries, so why the about face when it comes to where Africans have been and have not been? Because it is not to their advantage to suggest black Africans may have been civilized enough to accomplish this feat.

When you accept research without thinking about the context in which it is produced you set yourself up for confusion as you have done above. Anyone with enough money can set up a think tank to spin facts however they want. For example, you just called black white essentially. You are so buried in the facts thrown at you that you have actually come to believe that a caucasian is closer to an African genetically, than an aboriginal!

Horus: Not at all humans were there when continents separeted and I am not using arguments, arguing is a form of ignorance.
And no I dont look at the skin color of the scientist I look at facts only

Maybe you should. Just in case I sound paranoid, this is a good place to post a goodie. Even "distinguisehd" bodies will fudge numbers for political gain, especially if it works to their advantage eg Google using a 400 year old imperialistic map even today: http://commonsensekiller..com/2010/06/map-is-lie.html

mikolo80: I'D LIKE TO SEE UR TANGIBLE EVIDENCE MR OLODO

As soon as you show me tangible evidence you actually have a brain. Your post in CAPS has not convinced me.

KidStranglehold: No I already seen that video and a article which is the same thing. Lucia and the first Americans were said to come from Australia and Malaysia. The indigenous people of Australia and Malaysia have Negroid features but are genetically DISTANT from Africans.

The programme, Ancient Voices, shows that the dimensions of prehistoric skulls found in Brazil match those of the aboriginal peoples of Australia and Melanesia. Other evidence suggests that these first Americans were later massacred by invaders from Asia.

(Looks exactly like the Lucia reconstruction)

You can say their black if it makes you feel better, but fact is that their genetically distant from Africans and do not originate from Africa.

Are they now? What exactly is your measure of genetic distance. The aborignal you just posted very obviously has African roots or did they just spring out of nowhere? You would need lots of mis-education to believe anything else. Melanin is the key. It has always been the differentiator. Not culture, not religion or shape. Its always been melanin.

Had to edit my post a bit...man no need for high blood pressure on the internets which of course is no use as the omnipresent horus has already quoted me

C me o: Pls prove your point with TANGIBLE EVIDENCE/REFERENCE that General M. Buhari/APC (by extension) has no-link/link in the country's (Nigeria) Terror attacks or unrest.

NB: Only post with provable evidence/reference will be considered admissible please. Thank you for contributing

olodo. You are trying to prove a negative. Can you prove that you have no link to GEJ? Can you prove that YOU are not BH's head? Please give us TANGIBLE EVIDENCE/REFERENCE that you are not working for GEJ.

signed up as Big Tymers

how are those guys able to keep a straight face?

igbo2011: The elections are today July 31st. Who do you want to win?

didnt even know they had one. Looks like its Mugabe/Tsivangirai again. Frankly, Mugabe's incompetence overrides any other consideration. Tsivangirai is no genius but dayum, its time for fresh blood

Elxandre: but surely, any good motive could easily be transformed into bad by evil people who are bound to capitalize on a good cause to satisfy their own selfish interest..
So you must understand even to this day, there are still people who still capitalize on christianity to gain fame, wealth and relevance in the society!
The bad eggs seized upon religion as a chance to enrich themselves through enslavement of people!

You got a point there. You have separated Christianity from the the evil people who capitalize on it. Great. Why cant you apply the same logic to the "diabolic tradition" as you put it? Could it be our traditions themselves were good, and were used by evil people to sacrifice humans? Even more, shouldn't we still scrutinize Christianity, seeing as there were way more bad eggs than good eggs at least as far as African experience is concerned.

Excelboi: I thought omawumi is a reserved and respectul lady not knowing she is this violent. This is a big shame and a minus to her carrer.

make-up hideth a multitude of issues....

Elxandre: The major curse on this land you say? smh..
Do you know the gains christianity has brought to Africa?
*mary slessor who stopped the killing of twins by those wicked diabolical tradition was a xtian missionary...
Just this alone is enough for anyone to shut up and stop talking crap about religion destroying the world..

Interesting... Why does the same missionary that stopped the killing of twins watch while millions are carted away as slaves, with several millions perishing in inhumanly painful ways?

In fact, if I follow your logic, we should be expelling christianity not condoning it. After all, it saved a few hundred twins and then totured and wiped out millions, no?

Sky-walker:
Just to let you guys know in advance. i want it to be between Nairalanders only. Its currently private but if the league is not filled up, it will be opened to anyone to join and i will prefer its just Nairalanders only to make it more fun. Thats why i am putting this out early

I will sign up for sure

bappahman: Very true...it will be worse than detroit,cos atleast detroit may have the support of its federal govt and other states of the union...while in our case the federal govt is the one collapsing with no way for most states to survive....chaos looms

i think outside investors will just come in and buy everything up on the cheap. That has always been the plan i think

hoard cash in preparation to start buying property for pennies on the dollar, or kobo on the naira as you might say

Warri _Pikin: While we are busy fighting POINTLESS tribal wars and Pres. GEJ, serious people are busy perfecting plans how to rid their countries of the "HATED" Nigerians.
May Allah grant them and many other countries that will learn from this success.

I hope they deport some of these tribal warriors straight to Ladipo - should be interesting

Oil theft is a smokescreen. Seriously, what did you guys expect from Iweala, a world bank VP. If we can open our tribalistic eyes before its too late and boot these thieves out, we may still have hope. Otherwise we are going to look like detroit in a bit

and miss sugar candy mountain? no way

OP add where you got this article from

martinbillings: I can see some crazy nigerians supporting the arrogant gov in insulting the commander in chief. Is this the kind of people you get in the so called progressives party APC. Fellow Govs were meeting stakeholders, clergy meeting the presidency and govs meeting presidency to achieve a peaceful resolution to this faceoff and the slowpoke is busy granting provoking interview. You are lucky you met GEJ, if not you should be somewhere in the cameroons begging wike to help your sorry arse. This interview means that what the south south elders said was true, that they have invited Amaechi so may times to settle this LOCALISED INTERNAL PARTY CRISES and he never showed up. Amaechi who sent you, what do you want to achieve? We need you to respect office of the president of the nation.

can the president please respect himself first, and get his house affairs in order.

Danhumprey: This is the height of racism! For God's sake,she is an Italian citizen by heritage. Just because she had the misfortune of been born in an African country doesn't make her an outcast! She is still Italian. They should be concerned about what she can offer to rescue their already troubled economy rather than racially abusing her. Where are the anti-racists? Something need to be done urgently.

look at this monkey. so being born in african country is misfortune? if they throw banana at you now you go dey vex.

Van snickers: Zimmerman was found not guilty by a Jury, the Police didn't let Zimmerman go.

Actually the police let him go. The reason Zimmerman was later arraigned was because of protests to the DA's office. Of course, if we were waiting on your type, Zimmerman would never have been exposed. And so what if the jury acquitted him. Juries let murderers go after they lynched and hung black men back in the day. Does that make the jury right? Judges can be bought, juries can be racist. It doesnt change justice.

You still havent shown me a black on black crime where police let the killer go.

Van snickers: Black on Black Crime is a topic everyone in the Black community wants to avoid. Several Black men are murdered by men of their own Race and no one says anything. A Black boy is killed by Hispanic, and the Whole black community jumps up and down.

After Watching Zimmerman's interview with Hannity, my opinion that Zimmerman deserved his "not Guilty" verdict has intensified.

Sorry, but talking about black on black crime makes no sense. Thats like saying OBL killed 3000 people on 9/11, but lets focus on the 100,000 people killed in american on american crime. The issue is not so much the crime - that happens all the time - its the fact that you can get away with it. Until you show me a black on black crime where the police let the killer walk, stfu.

Ujujoan: If I were the woman, I'll let him relocate . . alone!

And if I catch him cheating or slacking on his marital duties, then the marriage is over.

He can't have it both ways . . . he just cant!

If he is sitting idle at home for years, guaranteed he will be cheating anyways. Other than marriage vow, no other agreement is set in stone

manny4life: I did not know that interstate deportation was legal, well let's see how Gov Obi will react to this. Gov Fashola is gradually setting the fire that will burn nonstop. Now is the time for the FG to use executive authority over this man because by the time other states follow, there will be serious anarchy in the country.

open your eyes. we are already in anarchy. Why hasn't Punch gotten LASG's side of the story. I call bs on this story - there is no way people are being randomly deported
