Pakistan gangs are racist because they specifically target non Muslims ,preferring in their words 'white trash'.
This is sheer braînlessness, and is the equivalent of racîst idiots claiming Nigerians are 419 fraudsters.

For starts, not all Pakistanis in UK are gang members, nor are all Muslims Pakistanis. And the education system in UK ensures we all use our brains better than you do.

He is not an anti Muslim guy but if he is, why is that?
He is an anti muslim guy because he is racist.

Thankfully, the country he lives in does not agree with him so he gets sent to jail for his racist crimes.

But it wasn't Singapore that expelled themselves, it is logical if you don't like someone you send the person away, you think Malaysia at the time had any secession clause? they had to pass it in the parliament.

Why didn't Nigeria go with the path of Malaysia by expelling a people they did not like ?
Sorry, but I like my neighbours, and do not want you to abandon me. I opposed the expulsion of Ghanaians, and wouldn't want to expel my Igbo neighbours, because I need you to help curb the Yorubas who would end up leading me, and I want us to join together to go free the Hausas from the colonising Fulanis.

Strength in togetherness, is my motto.

Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is a British anti-Muslim racist bigot with ties to far-right groups in Europe. He says nothing about British whites who child wape.

Racists are in Nigeria. At least kemi is correcting herself.
Everyone is thankfully not you who accepts the status quo because you are powerless to change it. Some fight for change. And we are so winning that we teach anti-racism in our schools and have made its understanding mandatory for your employer and employment. That's why we have much less racism than we use to have, and why your Tommy Robinson has residence at his majesty's pleasure.

Kala said, “From the cases presented by parties before this court, there is admissible, credible and sufficient evidence to establish, on the balance of probability, that the defendant is responsible and liable for the loss of the plaintiff’s baggage during the period it was in charge of the defendant’s carrier, having cleared and issued with baggage tag No BA741520, for its flight BA307, from Paris to London on December 2, 2022, but the bag never arrived with the flight and ultimately got lost,” he held.

Kala said the argument “collapsed like a pack of cards,” describing it as an afterthought aimed at exonerating the carrier from liability under Article 17 (2) of the Montreal Convention.

"A racist country" is not exactly a thing I would say exists. There may be some racist people in a country, like your friend Tommy Robinson, but he does not define a whole country.

Regardless of who foisted on you, that is our current constitution, and you'd need to change it to make your self determination mean secession.
And with no legislatures advocating for such a constitution change, you'd not find it easy at all.

You're the ignorant one.

Just exit Nairaland now and see terms if service.

You can't sue and win them. For whatever, you can't win

This is a similar case of Facebook banning someone and the person his a lawyer.

Since 2022, Facebook didn't pay the lawyer a dime
So, Meta is refusing to obey a judges ruling, since what you posted contradicts your assertion that he can not win.

Regardless, you perhaps should have done a little more research.

When Jason Crawford finally collected his default judgment from suing Facebook, he couldn’t wait to post it on Facebook. “It was one of the first things I did, once I collected,” said the Columbus personal injury lawyer who sued the media giant for deleting his account. “Facebook never offered a single penny, even though I had a $50,000 judgment against them,” he posted Tuesday, the day he got the check. “They simply went back to ignoring me.”

Meanwhile, when Biafra wants to go away from the federation, una go they blab rubbish. Here the Malaysian parliament voted unanimously to ensure the country became a federation of its own.

"3.2 Basis of the Federation: "(1) Every Ethnic Nationality and People in Nigeria has an unconditional right to self-determination within here delineated territories.
No right to secession in the Nigerian Constitution
Indivisible sovereign state: Section 2(1) of the 1999 Constitution explicitly declares Nigeria an "indivisible and indissoluble sovereign state," which effectively prohibits secession.

Territorial integrity: The Constitution mandates the armed forces to maintain Nigeria's territorial integrity, making unilateral secession unconstitutional and subject to military intervention.

Onerous amendment process: Any potential legal path to secession would require a constitutional amendment, a difficult process that demands broad support across two-thirds of Nigeria's states.

I'll quibble on this. Racists play on the Power difference they have. So, a racist cop could use the power his badge affords him to harass say a multimillionaire football player. Now the football player isn't weak, but there is a power difference there.
And I think some of these guys get off on trying to put down black people they think are "acting" "Highfalutin".
It's not easy to do racist cop here in UK these days, I must say.

Back in the early 90s when it was much easier, I was once stopped by police who asked if I knew what the speed limit was, and could they search my car, which I let them. They also asked to see my licence, at which they asked me where I was from, and I said, down the road where I lived.

"Where are you parents from", they asked, to which I asked them what where my parents were from had to do with my driving.

Cops decided there was a gash in my tyre, which was true, and said they'd fine me and give me 3 points on my licence, which would have increased my insurance.

I wrote to the court contesting, telling them what had happened and how I had got the gash on my way home and was on the way to my tyre man to have it fixed, as I was not meant to stop on double reds. I included maps to show my route and destination too.

On the court day, judge asked me if I was guilty or not, to wit I said I wasn't. He then asked the police to present their case, but the lawyer for the police said their witness refused to turn up.

Judge apologised for wasting my time and told me to consider suing the police, but I just couldn't be bothered.

That would be rare these days, as many cops have been sanctioned for such behaviour, and have been trained not to behave that way anyone. Also, there's a lot more black people driving high performance cars these days, unlike then.

That said, the below was just a couple of years ago:

PoliticsDangote Refinery’s Production Halt Into November by budaatum(op): 12:21pm On Sep 05, 2025
Should I prepare for shortages?


Nigeria's 650,000 bpd Dangote Refinery faces a prolonged gasoline outage after reports that repairs to its catalytic cracking unit could take two to three months, far longer than the earlier two-week estimate. The refinery's Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU), the key gasoline-making unit, has been offline since August 29 following catalyst leaks, with Reuters citing IIR Energy analysis as saying that major equipment replacement is required, extending downtime into November.

Democrats should start on the hypocrite first.

He also glossed over his own responsibility for handing Trump so much power. As majority leader, McConnell maneuvered to deny Barack Obama a rightful supreme court pick, and rushed to give Trump another in the final weeks of his first term in 2020. It made McConnell the architect of the current ultraconservative 6-3 majority on a panel that critics say has been overly loyal to Trump, not least last year’s astonishing ruling giving him immunity for criminal acts.

I've always been told that Africans are less quick to call things racism. My friends usually call me out as I try to find alternate rationales for things that they see to be obvious racism.
My problem is that if I can find a somewhat plausible rational for an action, then I can't be sure it's racism, so I won't call it racism.
Do you think that may play a role in your experience?
Actually, no. Being African does not make me less quick to call things racist. I see racism on our streets a lot, especially with police and black drivers.

I myself once had 3 producers in a week, but I can't claim to have experienced racism much, because as soon as I open my mouth, potential racist idiots tend to not be racist towards me.

Racists choose weak people just as bullies do, and I don't seem to come across as one they can bully, I think. And I speak English better than some natives, so that tends to stymy them.

I've lived more of my life in UK than Kemi, and I must confess that my experience of racism is limited. I just need open my mouth and the racists tend to whither, I find.

It would be stupid however, to make out my own experience is the norm, and claim racism that I know exist does not exist, as I can bet Kemi will find out at the next elections if she survives that long.

I also think its dishonest to claim racism is not a huge thing in USA, but those who make such claims must have their reasons I guess, though I can't for the life of me figure.

Dude, if your calling is divine, the divine God will have given you the knowledge to record your songs already (like paper or a phone), and provided you with the divine means to produce them (like youtube or Instagram).

And I do think the divine God has already done the above, but for some reason, you haven't yet figured out how to.

I doubt you are a Muslim, but you do sound like one the Angel Gabriel is ministering the Quran to while you refuse to record what the Angel tells you.

I tell you, the Angel Gabriel will get bored of you if you do not change your ways, and will go find someone else to be its Mohammed who will record the songs it gives to you.

Failure will not be your portion. Amen.

I must say, I am learning from Trump what sort of leaders we should do our utmost to not have.

I can just see him already, causing war between our diverse ethnic groups and only favouring his own, while he pockets any money made while we are killing each other.

I am also learning from Xi Jinping how nations can be transformed from very poor to exceedingly rich in like 20 years. Though I can't see us practicing Chinese communism any time soon.

I don't expect any foreign leader to come lead Nigeria, but I do hope we don't think it "damn stupid or daft or just being a disgrace to your entire generation" if we learn from them.

In other news 1000 HHS staff signed a letter calling on Kennedy Jr to resign.
Kennedy is making those vaccines non-mandatory.

Christianity EtcRe: God Never Wanted Adam and Eve To Procreate? by budaatum: 11:16pm On Sep 04, 2025
MaxInDHouse:
Knowledge of GOOD and EVIL is POLITICS that was raised in the garden leading Adam and Eve to support Satan and turn against God. God intended they multiply through reproductive means which is sex.
There decision to become like God means preparedness to abandon God's standards and setting their own for their yet unborn children.
There is nowhere in the text where it is claimed Adam and Eve will multiply in anyway whatsoever. In fact, their multiplication was more like a curse after they had supposedly disobeyed the God:

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

As opposed to God's Image who were actually blessed:

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Anyone who studies Christ in the Gospels would know that the way to the supposed eternal life is through the Word, which is knowledge, fruits of which we read in the Gospels he fed everyone. But unfortunately for us, despite it shinning in the dark and never overcome by it, "the world did not recognize him", and the Light is not seen by most. Instead many use Christ for its opposite of freeing people to rule and multiply and subdue, and instead make naked ignorant slaves of people.

Thankfully, Christ is risen indeed, and eventually all knees shall bow to the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.

Anyone can believe whatever they like. If this is what you believe, i can understand and I respect it. I don't want to try to convince you. Thank you.
Believe? That's like making crap up and claiming its true despite evidence to the contrary.

buda does not do believe.

Those who brought us Christianity sang songs about Britannia ruling before they got on the ship to fulfil their supposed God given mandate to rule the earth and subdue those they met, and multiply and be blessed.

They knew, or rather, finally figured out, after being subjugated as mud to work in a garden for Rome - the first to understand the difference between being created in God's image and being created from mud - that they too can assume to be created in God's image. All they had to do was eat fruits of knowledge, which they duly did, and which is what enabled them to rule and subdue those they met.

It took Britain almost 1500 years for their eyes to open, and thankfully, with this age of the internet its likely to take us much less, like 100 years.

We will eat fruits of knowledge like the Image of the Gods do, and then shall we too become like Gods, such that when we say "let there be", we shall not cry NEPA! Because there most definitely will be. Amen.

We just need to allow ourselves to become as children who abandon the crap we've been programmed to believe (which is not knowing), and let Christ rub mud in our eyes so we may see. But that's no easy feat, for as Christ said, camels through needles eye, which explains the resistance of those like you who currently refuse to see the difference between Image of God that rules and subdues and multiplies and is blessed, and a naked creation from mud that slaves ignorantly in a poxy tiny garden.
