No one notice but me that this white man had south african and zimbabwe flag under white rule?

Second: they targeted a church connected to Africa.

Third: they killed Denmark Vessey who planned slave revolt

Im wondering if white man was from South Africa?

Do you Know that this church was responsible for helping slave revolts? And Vessey was ...a co-founder..he purposefully targeted this church

Also this guy had a South African flag and Zimbabwe flag? The flag when whites ruled...

I suspected as much. A lot of posters here are white racist redneck scum pretending to be Africans. That's why the imbeci.le ran away when I asked him to name the black countries he's visited.

You can tell them oo. They are vehement in regards to supporting white supremacy. They would rather blame their mother for rape than the rapist. They are always clear.

But you and cap argue so well, you are educating someone else that lurks and need a good history lesson. The others are so anti-African..they can be nothing but white.

When they go too low, I report them and move on.

They are so sick, however, that they need to convince us on the reasons that we should remained colonized and enslaved.

My dear people of Africa, I was wondering today, how can we as a continent break free from western destruction? It is clear the western world is destroying Africa. Using our own brothers and sisters to destroy our dear continent. Using our faith, our greed, our anger, our hate and our inability to see life beyound "today and now" to destroy us. Please how do we break free from all this and creat a beautiful green continent called Africa? Please lets rub minds and see what we can do o.
The news around the world don tire me. Africans are now seen as the pests invading modern worlds. Biko how do we save Africa and save the face of the Black man?

Dont bother on this forum. Start a facebook group. Select people who you think are conscientious prior to my post (because ppl can pretend post this) and invite people who you believe to be 1. African 2. black

There are too many whites on here pretending to be one of us.

Our only flaw is not joining Nigeria and then showing ALL African nations (black slave history and non black slave history (colonialism) that we should be the leaders on e again.

I have heard a british man call Obama an African monkey. So, this is their trademark. We must be wise. Nigeria let us show other African nations (including the blacks) that we can be the model!

I told this Ghanaian before the collapse, I would estimate that I spoke to him about two years ago - I said, brother your exchange rate is too high against the UK pound and the US dollar, along with the fact that your cost of living is extremely high for someone with even my degree.

Well of course he was sensitive, and I found myself - even as a Pan African, having one of the most pettiest debates over who has the best country..I mean downright petty.

So why am I rambling?

I have to give South Africa a compliment for once in my life - South Africans are smart, I will tell you why:

1. They have a very low currency in comparison to the UK pound and the US dollar. What does this mean? It means that if their countrymen went to London to go to school, they could return to their home country with a savings and an education. They could work in a UK engineering firm, save for five years, and go back home and sustain. Ghana couldnt - because their dollar matches the UK and US almost, thats how their policy makers set it, despite a low demand for their countrys currency. Check out their exchange rate. Now check out South Africas currency in comparison. (us nigerians have this part right, more later)



2. South Africa has a reasonably priced real estate market. So, they can attract diasporians for investment, their own or our own. This only strengthens their middle class. Ghanas housing market is desperately overpriced.

3. They seek out reasonable trade deals with countries and have fair rates. Now, Im no politician - and I do realize that they too have their headliners regarding leadership, but they wisely chose BRICS over a regional ally. What am I getting at? Even with ECOWAS we still have a financially tense relationship with our regional partners, making it hell to import or export, keeping our prices high. But to me, currency can be fixed and created - thats another long story, but since we follow a eurocentric model of currency, our partnerships seem contentious at best.

Short story: Nigerias dollar is good. Our point shouldnt be to match the dollar like Ghana, our point should be to be attractive to investors, even our own investors. So if our dollar was equal 5000 to one, that shouldnt be a sense of embarrassment, it allows us to build foreign capital.

Here is the issue, our real estate market doesnt match our currency. This means that one or two things will happen, and Im getting ready to be BLUNT (sorry): Europeans who are wealthy can buy up properties, because they can afford to - forcing us to have a socioeconomic status and similar conditions to a RUSSIA. Or, our poor becomes so abundant we end up in civil war.



We are a mono-producer. Our main exporting item is oil. No one needs us for green energy because America and the UK have been working on this for years. South America has oil refineries. What can we offer competitively? Our prices would be too high.

We need to bring our brightest home, make it affordable - create a plan so that we can replace our oil commodity with something that can sustain us.

ARTICLE THAT IM DISCUSSING

"We are running a stupid democracy in Nigeria, a system of government where only those in office are seen to be enjoying the good of the land, while the people they claim to be serving are starving.

The cost of building many government houses in Nigeria is far higher than what it takes to build many universities in the country with some state houses gulping as high as nine times more than the cost of building a university.

It was also discovered that in many states where Billions of Naira were expended on building bogus and expansive state houses for the first families, universities owned by such state governments were in terrible conditions.

In addition to this, many programmes run by these state universities are yet to be accredited by the National Universities Commission, the regulatory agency for universities in Nigeria, due to lack of fund. || But these greedy governors always have Billions of Naira to building new houses for their comfort..."

Politics / Bank Has Launched A "Graduate Empowerment Savings Scheme" To Help Graduates by black247: 12:43am On Nov 07, 2014
@bushido5 @bushid05


Nigeria! We can do well at home!


Mallam Ahmed Kuru (Managing Director/CEO, Enterprise Bank Limited) and other Executive Management staff


Enterprise Bank recently launched it SME titled the Enterprise Graduate Empowerment Scheme (EGES). It is a fund created by the Nigerian bank to fund, invest and and assist young and upcoming entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

This initiative is formulated to specially cater for young graduates who are brimming with ideas but do not have the financial capacity to bring their dreams to reality. According to Mallam Kurue, the initiative “is designed to bridge the gap that exists between the innovative entrepreneurial ideas of young school leavers and access to the right financial support to transform these ideas into concrete money making enterprises.“



Mallam Kuru added that EGES is also meant to access the relatively unbanked sector of the economy by altering the negative mindset of the public that Nigerian banks do not support new and growing businesses.



Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe (Executive Director, Lagos & South-West Banks) & Mallam Ahmed Kuru (Managing Director/CEO, Enterprise Bank Limited)

How the programme is ALREADY helping new graduates :

Yetunde Dehinbo, a graduate of Industrial Chemistry from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye and a participant in the programme, applauded the scheme, adding that “it is for people like me who really do not want to work for anybody.” She said: “…from day one, I have always known that I want to have my own business but there is no money to give expression to the business ideas that I have. I am currently into trading but will require assistance like EGES to take it to the next level.“



Speaking during the launch, the Managing Director/CEO stated that EGES is in line with both the Federal Government transformation agenda and that of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on growth towards promoting the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector of the economy.

Brother I have read tons of stories such as this and it is absolutely heart-rending that Africans still go through this in this day and age and have to put up with such indignities. Africans (especially Sudanese, Ethiopians, Kenyans and Somalis) are constantly molested in Arab countries around the world. It is nothing but a continuation of the trans Saharan slave trade and like you rightly said, it is a shame that we Africans have not stood up for ourselves and done something to end the oppression. Imagine o, the same Lebanese who are in our country, running businesses and making magnificent lives for themselves treat us like the scum of the earth in their own country. Does this not irk my fellow Africans Are we numb to the sufferings of our brothers and sisters?

Why do I find your comment so incoherent?
Really I couldn't get what you were trying to say.

Probably because I conflated two threads into this one, and most of what I was saying was to myself and then I just started typing.

I was actually responding to two threads, and not referencing either to be honest:

1. I dont agree with the homosexual lifestyle. I went further - not articulating myself properly ..but I went on to say ...but still we shouldnt abuse them..just use another ordinance to show that they are in violation..it is another thread here that talks of abuse.

2. There was an argument that was posed from a West African to me - that we were homosexuals PRE - greece. I mentioned this - so that we can be aware to counter. However my time constraints as of late made me rush through, not providing any context.

Why did I bother to comment? I think my intention was to quickly say that we shouldnt allow Western Europeans dictate what we should do in response to this growing and accepting trend in America, Britain, Sweden - so forth. I also wanted to expand a counter to the guy that I debated offline - but simply just didnt develop my argument..because I wrongly assumed that others that heard this foolish anti- African argument would know what I was talking about.

I do that at times - I stay in my head and then just start talking...it irks my girl to no end.

And frankly, you might not get what I said again - because Im still working ..on quite a few projects at one time - not an excuse, but the truth. Hope I made myself clear this time.

First, my disagreement was not with the OP's stance but Patriot4's. Within all his/her rhetoric about African unity, he's still carrying that monkey on his back regarding AAs and the myths and misconceptions about AAs. This was the very reason I didn't go off on a poster that asked: "Do they marry overseas?" Why blame this poster? If all s/he sees is all the negatives and has never traveled out of his/her country, why come down on them? The negatives and hearsay is their only frame of reference. That's why I answered: "Yes, they marry overseas." This was a teachable moment - not a moment to get all hot, bothered and offended.

Second, I have NEVER considered immigrants, African or otherwise, cowards, disloyal or unpatriotic for seeking greener pastures outside their native countries. I only object to illegal immigrants thinking they can waltz into another country and feel they're entitled to the same treatment citizens and legal immigrants receive. And to be honest, over here, the loudest voices of protest against illegal immigration are legal immigrants, not the citizens of the host countries.

Third, when those with means would rather fly off to another country for medical treatment or choose to send off their own children for schooling in another country, something is seriously wrong.

Fourth, citizenship in another country never changes who you are. It just changes your status. Over here, in the States, especially in Texas, California and Illinois, African immigrants may be American citizens on paper but most retain their African roots, within the law, of course.

Ask yourself this: If a huge cruise ship docked in Nigeria, guaranteeing all comers a chance of a better life outside of Nigeria, what do you think the response would be?

It's senseless denigrating Nigerians who seek greener pastures elsewhere.

Celebrate - not denigrate.

Leave them be.

On the flipside...if the Nigerian government wants to evolve into a true "Giant of Africa", it would behoove the Nigerian government to sit up and take serious notice of the 'brain drain'. It is driving out its best and brightest stars. Best it come correct.

Excellent points here. I agree with everything that you said, with one exception - other immigrants have a foundation when they travel, the OP seemed to simply want to flee and celebrate his new found citizenship as if me, you, and him are incapable of creating a change in NIGERIA. We discuss Nigeria as of we arent the Nigerians that make up the country? Thats my point: why is HE incapable of changing Nigeria? Why are YOU not capable of changing Nigeria? And why are we PROUD to go to other countries without an ounce of shame? Where is our notion to build our own space? Pretty soon - these countries that we flee to are going to send us (those that are there) back packing.

Thanks for the clarification, the day that I wrote my response - I was rushing.

I guess whenthe US economy crashes then his descendents would be relocating to an other country with a better economy.
It is funny how many people love and praise behaviours which are those of parasites. A parasite is to me a person who is not interested in building a nation, but interested in reeping the fruits of the hardlabour of other people. And francly parasites hardly go far in life.
How can you call yourself a human being if your dream is to wash away all that makes you a human being. It is Nigeria which makes the op a human being, and that Nigeria did by providing him ancestors and an identity. The US on the other hand might provide him obezity and dreams.
But reality is often far away from dreams. I garanty you that his children have a bigger chance of becoming inmates than that of becoming president of the US, by the way i don't know when any other person with a black father will reach the position of US president, but my guess is this: not in our lifetime. The whites have given you your lollipop, I guess you just have to keep its taste in your mouth when you are being locked up or when obama presidency is over and his anti-black policies are used as precedents by the new white guy in charge. (the worst of all is that you wouldn't be allowed to call the white guy a racist, because obama paved the way for him) Obama is such a funny guy, he recieves nobel peace prizes for nothing and he is loved by black people for the simple reason that he is half black and president of the usa. It doesn't matter that Obama's polices have been more anti-black than Clinton and bush together, you just love him. Francly, I was one of those using the social media to promote him, but since he was elected the US and Africa have lost their link and he has stopped the war on terror to the advantage of terrorists who his policies strangely keep siding.
Thanks to Obama Nigeria has changed its strategic lliance from USA to Russia and China. Francly if I were blind then i would automatically think obama were a white guy (with some racist tendencies towards Africa).

I got your point.

However, I thought this was an opportune moment to clear up some ongoing misconceptions about Americans and AAs, especially AA men. But I see from your response that it was an exercise in futility. And although you may have not intentionally meant to compare the U.S (1 country) with Africa (54 countries), you kind of did.

When comparisons are drawn between AAs and African immigrants, why is it so uneven?

Why do some successful Africans/African immigrants insist on comparing unmotivated and unsuccessful AAs to themselves?

Wouldn't it be fairer, if successful Africans/African immigrants from 1 country are compared with successful AAs, who are also from 1 country?

Plus, Africans have what AAs will never have - their own country run by AAs.

That's what the white folks wanted for AAs, back in the day.

Does Liberia ring a bell?

How did that work out?

How is it working out now?
















I agree with his position and what Patriot4 is saying. I think he is presenting his argument impeccably. I will present why I feel so below.

It may seem as though I am contradicting him because I agree with you on the following point, but Im not:

For now, I believe that Africans cant compare progress with a minority group - even if they are genetically our cousins:

Just wanted to respond on the basis of what I have learned (historical reference to liberia is what I mean here) and perhaps you can correct me with any details that I am overlooking because: comparing a minority group in a white run country to a black ran country in it of itself is a red herring. That is like us comparing our continent to the caribbean islands. What he was "comparing" was a white run country benefitting from exploiting black African bodies, in my humble opinion. And everything that you see - there, in my opinion, is because of the continuous exploitation of African men and women - so there is no golden mecca that OP was going to...If it is a mecca it has African blood in every crevice.

You will see why I put quotes around comparing.

Just wanted to add what I learned recently:

Liberia - the natives in Liberia kicked some of them (AA) out, didn't want them and called them unAfrican. Many African Americans came back to the US disillusioned, not liking Africa or what it could bring. I have to get the mans name that fled for his life. Ive been studying the diaspora, the only thing I have to study next is Belize and Haiti. As far as Liberia? The ones that were the sell outs, they (our liberian family) made deals with them..and had the mulattos and former house negroes run their country - kicking out those that thought like Marcus Garvey, someone who is more astute in this subject will give me the name of the man they kicked out, for they thought the Marcus Garvey talk was not beneficial. There was a group that said they were from the Congo..and if i am not mistaken, they were not accepted either. There are three different groups..I believe. The Liberians let the sell outs run the country until the 80s. Yet, they told the pan africans to get lost. I hope someone will give a decent amendment including the timelines and names.

For proper comparison of progress, imo, we should compare ourselves to India - and we are doing much better. Our colonial circumstances are much more similar to India. I would have to pull up a world global report, but if my memory didnt fail me - we had very positive key indicators that showed us excelling..

I am learning a true metric for AA progress is in comparison to their Caribbean Islanders brothers and sisters (which is our brothers and sisters too - to me, they all are) as they were all enslaved the same. Yet, the good man patriot4 in my opinion wasnt offering a comparative analysis, he was offering a critical analysis of that country (the US) and the men and women who were once African..how they are doing, what rights are removed, and what they are still fighting for. For example, if the OP was to say that he was happy to be in Australia...what about the exploitation of the aboriginees? But a better comparison for me would be if the OP said he was moving to France ..or a middle eastern country..they too benefited from us being totally destabilized.

But a perfect comparison and actual illustration in this thread is to show how the US feels about not only AAS but black Africans - period, hence the anti-black laws should be examined, and contrasted. And I think he (patroit4) did just that, in my humble opinion. He illustrated disparities, further offering a critical analysis of the united states as it deals with black African bodies. Further, he pointed out not just by race relations, he illustrated via foreign policies ie Obama.

I also think the OP was trying to awaken us so that we create critical initiatives because I believe one of our brothers is right, immigration has a ceremony and approval at specific times per year. His other thread offered solutions, but even if his accounts were fictional to prove a point, Im glad we all participated..for there is someone out there - that thinks like what he pretended to be, I guarantee it.

Foreign Affairs / Ethiopian Maid Tried To Kill Her Bosses Three Kids In United Arab Emirates by black247: 6:47pm On Nov 03, 2014
Wonder if she was raped?



A maid in the United Arab Emirates who attempted to kill her employer's three children by burning them with boiling water and attacking them with a cleaver while they slept has been jailed for life.

The 25-year-old Ethiopian maid, referred to as Y.S., claimed she attacked the children, two girls and a boy aged 15, 14 and 10, because they and their mother had made threats against her own life.

'The four of them, the mother and the children, threatened to kill me,' she told the Dubai Criminal Court through a translator from the Ethiopian embassy.

'When I later asked them to let me go home, they refused and again threatened to kill me,' she said.

Prosecutors said that the maid admitted the attack was an act of revenge for being mistreated and forced to go hungry, reports The National.
She said that her employer, a 42-year-old teacher, repeatedly accused her of stealing and refused to send her back to Ethiopia, claiming that her passport was missing.

The eldest sister said the incident happened the same day her mother had to go away for medical treatment.
She said: 'My sister and I were sleeping on one bed while our brother was sleeping on a mattress.
'Around 7am I felt some boiling water splashing on my face... I woke up shocked and saw the defendant.
'She held a boiler and a cleaver in her hands. She stabbed me repeatedly in my face, and then she attacked my sister and then my brother. We escaped and locked ourselves inside the washroom, then called the police.'

The Ethiopian maid was charged with a triple murder attempt, double suicide attempt and theft. She was also ordered to pay Dh21,000 (£3,600) in compensation to the mother. File picture

After the attack the maid went to the mother’s room to take money and her passport, which was hidden in a drawer.
A policeman described breaking down the door and discovering the children.
He said: 'They were bleeding from everywhere and badly burnt.'

The children were taken to hospital and police said they found the maid sitting on the floor of the flat’s balcony.

She is then alleged to have tried to slit her own throat before surrendering to police when they raised their guns.

She was charged with a triple murder attempt, double suicide attempt and theft. She was also ordered to pay Dh21,000 (£3,600) in compensation to the mother.
