No, i simply made a statement to buttress my own point which had nothing to do with whatever you had to say.

by the way . . . being in school isnt equivalent to being intelligent. Bush is a graduate too.

Yeah whatever, but I'm not going to argue with you over something irrelevant as this, you seem to have a lot of bitchassness.

sorry IBK, wrong girl. Forgive me

davidylan:
pretty incredulous deduction methinks. light skin is not always equal to fine.

pray how does the above sound like a statement of fact?

Go back to school, there must be a class on analytical reasoning that you missed.

It doesn't, and I never stated that as true. I agree, but you made a comment that seemed to correlate to you thinking I believed light skinned = fine.

BTW~I'm in school, CSUDH, find out some information before you try and insult my intelligence.

Good. I got Ganja my to smoke anyways.

I'm not an idiot. You made your "belief" sound like a fact. Next time you have a "belief", make it sound like a belief, and not pass it as fact. That's where your ignorance comes into play.

@Ruby, I don't slow my role on command.

no nke oma . . . . .

davidylan:
you're also losing your head over a non-issue. I made a general comment, why tie your head in knots because of it?
Colonial mindset? what nonsense . . . does ruby look light skinned to you?

I know. I said that because you said light skin don't mean pretty, and I never said that. So, I merely just pointed out your ignorance.

I never said light skin meant fine. What your big deal about light skin~dark skin? Lose your colonial mind state! We in 21st century, skin color, especially between Black people shouldn't be a issue

^ Puff Puff pass da ganja!

Loffers, is that you in that picture? If so, you fine as wine, and a bruva want to know more. . . . .

Maybe because more Igbos immigrate? Myself, and many other Nigerians in Los Angeles are Igbo. Does anyone know? Can many Yorubas afford the internet? Aren't most Nigerians who are on the Internet Igbo anyway?










~Just Kidding, I know Yorubas can afford the internet as much as any other group, I was just adding humor.~ ka o di!!!

It's okay

Well, since so much time went by after I posted that, it's only right that I declare myself LAST!

I agree. That's why we call it "Faux News". I only watched it yesterday because Obama was on Bill O'Riley's show. Did you watch the video I posted?

^ look at your profile picture

Yesterday,

. . . . . Whens the last time you prepared a meal

the girl on loffers profile!

You not that old!

Last Friday, and I will go again tomorrow night.

. . . . . When was the last time you bought a new CD.

When you denied my question.

. . . . . The last time you burnt your tongue

He already has a large Independent following, and some Republicans are voting for Obama. Have you ever seen those bumper stickers on some people's cars when they say "Republican For Obama"?

Not in recent memory,

. . . . . The last time you had a fist fight with someone

^ Click once, then wait!

It was good, O'Riley was trying his best to be an asshole, but Obama was great. They were basically just talking about security and Iran. They're going to play parts 2&3 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Angola is trying to push China away, because it wants to have control of it's own economy. They are taking the right steps in my opinion, no one wants Chinese products invading their country taking away jobs. Remember in Naijia, when the Textile business declined heavily because of the invasion of of Chinese products.

Read this article, it explains more about Chinese influence (Which is great, but I don't want China controlling African economy)

LUANDA (AFP) — Long ignored by foreign investors except China, oil-rich Angola is riding on growing foreign interest, prompting the government to play the competition card and distance itself from Beijing.

"Obviously, the Angolans don't want to offend the Chinese who remain an important business partner, but relations between the two countries have cooled," said Lucy Corkin, projects director at the Centre for Chinese Studies at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.

Today, Angola officials "don't want China to be an overwhelming presence in the economy," she said.

And since Luanda's promises to hold its first peacetime elections after a three-decade-long civil war -- with voting taking place Friday -- money from foreign donors such as the World Bank and Spain has poured in.

To be sure Chinese workers in overalls, wearing safety helmets or operating mechanical diggers, remain common sights on Luanda's streets.

They are real-life examples of the role Beijing has played in rebuilding a country devastated by 27 years of civil war.

At the end of the conflict in 2002, "Angola was looking for sources of financing all over the world, but could not get it because they had a bad record with the international financial community," said Ana Christina Alves, a researcher at the Portugese university, Institueo do Oriente.

"At that time, China was giving money to all African countries. They came at the right time. They were welcomed," Alves said.

Since 2004, the Chinese government has opened 4.5 billion dollars (3.1 billion euros) in credit lines to finance about one hundred reconstruction projects.

The China International Fund (CIF), an investment group which helps Chinese companies expand overseas, has released 2.9 billion dollars in loans.

Yet there is a certain opacity in the operations of the Chinese, who live in isolation on building sites concealed by high fences.

In return, Chinese imports of Angolan crude oil have increased sevenfold over the past six years.

"China needs natural resources and Angola needs development," President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said in 2006, summing up the relationship.

Now, however, Angolan officials "realise that Chinese companies are not the only companies that are interested in Angola," said Corkin, and are beginning to set conditions.

The changing attitude was underscored in March when two petrol companies, China's Sinopec and Angola's Sonangol, abandoned a joint project to build an oil refinery in the western port of Lobito.

Beijing wanted to import 80 percent of the refinery's production, while Luanda -- which has a single oil refinery -- wanted to favour its domestic market and other clients.

With a crude oil production of roughly two million barrels a day, Angola closely rivals Nigeria for the title of Africa's largest oil producer. Its growth will likely surpass 20 percent this year.

Did you watch Obama on O'Reily last night?
