This is good! They're reffering to backward black South Africans who have come into contact with fellow Africans who made them believe that with an idea of Africanism, blacks can do it.

Blacks, regardles of whether in the US or Africa. What they do is.

1. Dancing for 24 hours

2. Blamming whites for everything

3. Fighting each other.

4. Celebrating little success

6. Killing each other, be it Sani Abacha killing his own people, Ivorians killing each other, black on black crime in South Africa and USA.

South Africa will regret the day it opened its borders to Black African immigrants.

Why are you a member of nairaland?

-When your plane lands at night, you only see lights in V.I.
-The heat instantly intimidates you when you arrive
-If you have on anything that resembles a rapper, people will try and sell you their tape
-You can't see the original layer of road
-When you notice the air to rapidly decrease in quality

only a few, add more later

They said if you live in Galveston County, TX, you need to evacuate, or face imminent death!

This is the type of stuff that makes me sick, America thinks they could just go in and do whatever they want, but hopefully these FBI agents do get the surprise of their life.

I would never take part in your so called "experiment". I pity the people you have to come into contact on a daily basis, you seem like you're hard to deal with.

It's truly sad how a lot of our people have lost hope in Naija.

I hate the fact that some people just read what they want, just so they can justify their next comment.

It needs to be outlawed worldwide, it can lead to deadly infection, and is also very painful to the woman in my understanding.

^^ They are here, do not be confused. Many Africans are here illegally from overstaying their visas, along with many Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, etc. . . . But, I think the cities with most Nigerians are:

Houston
New York City
Prince Georges County, MD
Atlanta
Philadelphia

In Los Angeles, there are many Nigerians here, but not as many as the cities above, but more and more are arriving each month. Maybe in two years time, the amount for Nigerians in Los Angeles, many surpass the number in Philly. Also, the vast majority of Nigerians here are Igbo.

Abeg, go somewhere! Can't you see that the chapter has already been closed.

I don't take commands. The chapter is closed, but don't ever try to address me in the manner you have above, hopefully I'll never have to tell you that again.

A Nigeria where we can build Refineries all over instead off exporting oil for refining

Exactly, it makes no sense that we are just signing our natural resources away like that. How can a country like Angola, who just came out of a civil war not even 3 years ago, is having a rapidly expanding economy, and the people their are getting richer by the day? Because they have their own nationalized companies, which means all the money stays in the country, and benefits the people.

For example, Angola is the largest exporter of oil in Africa now (it used to be us, but you know our problems), but most of their oil is handled by their own company called "Sonangol", whereas we have foreign companies like Chevron, Shell, BP, and others who are blatantly scamming us. If we had our own oil companies in Nigeria, you would see a lot more money flowing in, and see even more improvements in this country, just because the money stays with us, and not into foreign accounts.

But all this has to be done without corrupt politicians, because if this happens with our current government, I can guarantee no more than a quarter of that money would be seen by the public.

If you have something against them, then you should just come out and boldly state it.

What the hell? Are you functionally illiterate or something? I never said anything negative about African-Americans, I just said some of these lists reminded me of some, just like I said it reminds me of some of us. I have nothing against African-Americans, I just made a simple comment, and I stick with it. There's nothing to be "bold" about and say, because I've done nothing wrong.

Why you took your picture down?

If you ever lived in America, you would know what I'm speaking of. I don't take these lists seriously, because I don't believe there is a "typical" Nigerian, we're all made differently, and weren't meant to be the same. A lot of the lists apply to SOME Nigerians, and some African-Americans, but nothing typical of neither group.

It's not going to be an imagination, it will happen. Our first priority is to actually get some elected officials who know how to manage funds. With all our oil, we should be taking that wealth and diversifying out economy, so we won't be so dependent on oil. That is what Dubai did, and they're a new financial hub, and Nigeria could easily do that if someone were to think about the future, instead of only the present.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. I have many things I am proud about, but I am NOT proud to be African. It is a neutral concept, so why elevate it into this pseudo-politico-socio-cultural heights?

Why don't you try taking my thought experiment given above?

Should a French man be proud of being French? Should an English man be proud of being English? etc.

Should Obama say he is prouds of being Black? Should McCain say he is proud of being White?

Well, enjoy not taking pride in your own ethnicity, and not being proud of all the accomplishments. Like I said before, I'm a proud African, and I could care less about some fanatic trying to convince me something else. Are you going to find an Indian forum and tell all Indians not to be proud of their ethnicity? Would you say the same about Mexicans, Pakistanis, Somalis, Kenyans, Chinese, etc. . . . Do you see a pattern?

Minorities in a western country don't just assimilate immediately with the White race, who have been there longer than most, except the majority of African Americans in America. White people have had much success in their countries, their pride should have to go unsaid, and is well understood in America, so John McCain saying something like "White Pride" would immediately be taken as more racist, as Obama saying he's proud to be Black.

Please, you have some internal issues that I cannot understand, but hopefully you'll get over it, because you seem like the sell-out type. Don't sell your people out, because you can try to hide your pride, but one day when you're in need, and that other group will leave you out to dry, who will you look for?

In my opinion, hissing is a female trait to have, and is highly "suspect" for a guy to be hissing. . . . . . . But that is just my opinion, no offense intended to any fellas out there guilty of the hiss.

I'm proud to be African! The thread starter must have some sort of self hate that he can't deal with on his on, so he tries to bring the rest of us down. Hopefully this fanatic of a person will find some type of happiness in their life, probably through a series of skin bleaching sessions.

It's not uncommon to see a lot of the ladies here writing "hisssssss". It gets hilarious seeing this over and over again but then gets annoying.

Missy, is that you in that picture?

Tufiakwa, what are they doing there, are they peddling gworo or milking cow?

ROTFLMAO, actually most of them were University students, but a few were actually in the country illegally, working in the ranks of illegal mexicans

loosen up!

Zuma would take South Africa in reverse, but sadly he is almost for sure going to win the next election. If anyone here admires South Africa, and likes to go there, you should be worried about their future, because this Zuma guy will not be a good choice.

Bleep Israel. What they are doing to the Palestinians is barbaric. It's ironic how 90% of Jews in Israel were originally fleeing from genocide, but what are they doing to the Palestinians? Leave Ahmadinejad alone, he has done more for Iran than any leader there has ever done.

No, that b***h would try to get him killed so she could get president.

This is stupid. That man is a criminal, and was responsible for the systematic killings of possibly millions of people, both Muslim and Christian. al-Bashir shouldn't be jailed, he should be handled by the firing squad.

I'm not surprised that our naive government is actually going to try and save him. This is just ridiculous, and shows the character of our leaders who're in charge. They will be dealt with sooner or later, believe that.

This is so funny! Some of those lists remind me of African Americans.
