These people aren't Kanuri. They look like Nigerian Shuwa Arabs. Kanuri are very dark like ethnic Hausa and they tend to have tribal marks.

FoodRe: 22 Appropriate Names Of Nigerian Foods You Probably Didn't Know by bukster(f): 1:32pm On May 07, 2016
The proper spelling of kpof kpof is puff puff. Putting a k before a p is grammatically incorrect. The fact that this list cannot even spell common puff puff makes me doubt its legitimacy.

Am sure she didn't study in Nigeria. Please guys I have a question, I have a friend who studied law in the UK, she is intending to come work in a Nigerian firm according to her.

What I need to understand is, is the Law universal? I had thought each country has her law and cases which are particular to a her, how then can someone study law in another country and practice it in another.

Please no abuses, it's just an honest question that deserves an honest and simple answer.
The laws in the UK are not the same laws in Nigeria. She will probably have to spend a year in studying to get the right Nigerian certification.

That list does not contain the armed forces, Police Universities, Polythechnics, COE, and other paramilitary forces not counted as civil servants. The number will sky rocket for the northernerns in this areas (Military and Paramilitary)
You're are acting as if we are doing the Northerners a favour by allowing them to join military and paramilitary units. Only the desperate and the poor join them in Nigeria. The only reason that Nigeria's military is highly ranked in Africa is because we have a large number of soldiers. Northerns are doing is a favour by joining the army because of they didn't then no one else will.

BraniacX:
you don't need to be a genius to know that lagos state has the least indigenous population per total resident population in Nigeria
You changed your statement. Initially you said that Lagos has the lowest of indigenous population in Nigeria. This is false. There are definitely other states in Nigeria with a lower total indiginous population such as Bayelsa and Eboniyi.
I agree with your new statement that the ratio of indigenous to total residents in Lagos is probably the lowest in Nigeria. Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where the number of people who come to the state is higher than the number of people who are originally from there. This isn't because the Lagos indigenous population is small but because the number of migrants is ridiculously high. Lagos grows at a rate of 600,000 people per year.

cjrane:
[size=18pt]Igboland isn't landlocked. but even if it were, it isn't a reason to remain enslaved in Nigeria.
Ethiopia is landlocked but posts a higher GDP compared to the zoo. Go figure.

Many ab0kis will write all sorts of crap in the coming months. The truth is that human beings will never choose slavery to freedom just because you want them to live in an un-landlocked country. Biafra is born out of sheer injustices and wickedness against the Biafra part of Igboland and SS. The second class treatment of our people in Nigeria is convincing more and more of us everyday that independence of our homeland is better than being enslaved in nigeria by Hausas.
So invent another pointless arguments such as Biafra will not have oxygen, oil, water, food, cows,fish etc, etc, it is a complete waste of time.
[/size]
Don't care ablout Biafra but I just want to correct a few pointst of yours. Ethiopia's GDP is NOT higher than Nigeria's. Nigeria has the highest GDP in Africa. Because of its landlocked nature, Ethiopia also goes through periods of famine every couple of years like the one in 1984 that killed almost half a million people. Ethiopia is currently going through another one right now that has already killed hundreds of people. Not everything is fun and games in a landlocked country.

Well black kids are being told they are equal to whites in America yet this is the result:

One day you negros are gunna have to learn that talk is fucking cheap and worthless. talk talk talk talk is all you people know how to do. The time for talking is over, its time for difficult solutions.
No they are not. I don't know if you have ever lived abroad before but in America,African Americans are constantly told that they are dumb. There are actually many African Americans who believe that they are dumber than white people because of their skin colour. That is why African immigrants consistently do better than African Americans academically in the US. Most of the black people you see in ivy league colleges are either children of African immigrants or immigrants themselves.

I don't know why you created this thread but it surely wasn't to help black people because this would just have the opposite effect. All you have done here is write about stuff that you have no proof on. You say that Africans have low IQs but I explain that it is because of lack of education and I have given you a similar examples in India. I've also given you examples of Nigerians abroad who when they do have a chance to be educated, end up doing just as well and even better than white people academically. I don't know what else you want. Maybe you are just happy to believe that you are one of the unique "intelligent" black people. It's NOT true. They are many black people who are far more intelligent than you and they will be many more in the furture.

So called "self hate" is women's main problem, men don't give a shit about things like that. And I research this stuff, it never stopped me from doing well in school.

What stops people from doing well in school is lack of accountability and scapegoating.
I'm not speaking from my own personal observations with no proof like you but from actual scientific proof. Studies have shown that when people are constantly told that they are not smart, they start to perform worse in intelligence and academic test.
http://study.com/academy/lesson/group-prejudice-jane-elliotts-brown-eyes-vs-blue-eyes-experiment.html

When I was growing up no one ever told me I was dumb. I was always led to believe that I could do anything I set my mind to and I excelled I'm school. Being accountability for your own grades is important but our environment and the things that people tell us everyday also affects us.
CultureRe: The Black Race Is Unintelligent. by bukster(f): 6:16am On Dec 01, 2015
Do you know what causes low IQ? Lack of education. How do you expect Nigeria's IQ to be higher than the West when so many people are uneducated.
India also has a low average nationwide IQ because they have a lot of uneducated people as well but the ones who live in the West are running circles around white children. Most of the big technological companies are made up of Indian people. If you told an Indian person that he was dumber than the average person, he wouldn't believe you.
Africa's main problem is self-hate. When you actually start to believe that you're dumber than someone, it become true. Studies have found that British Nigerians do 20% better in school than the average British kid. Nigerian Americans are also the most educated immigrant group in the US. For the people on this thread, my message to you is that you shouldn't let anyone tell you are dumb because of the colour of your skin. It simply isn't true.

PoliticsRe: Don’t Make English, Maths Compulsory For Students Seeking Admission – Okorocha by bukster(f): 1:53am On Nov 30, 2015
musicwriter:
Good.

Writing science in vernacular (native language) is actually how it's supposed to be. That's how Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Russians, e.t.c do it. English language should be banned entirely in African schools, instead credit should be required on our native languages in exchange. Only students interested in studying English should study English. That's how Asians do it!.

English language is not a standard for learning!.
So how different language textbooks should be created then?
3? 10? Or should we just create 200 different language textbooks for all the languages in Nigeria.
Your idea is good but it is not practical. The reason English is our official language is because not everyone speaks the same local language. It would be unfair to force minority groups to speak a major language just because you prefer it that way. And even if we decided to teach in our major languages how would one person who has only learnt Igbo communicate with someone who can only speak Yoruba in business? As long as Nigeria still exist, our official language will continue to be English. Even if Biafra was created with the South South and South East, the official language would also still be English. Just because something works in one country doesn't mean it will work in others. Africa is too diverse a continent to nationwide traditional languages in all the countries.

PoliticsRe: Fayose's Wife Distributes Delivery Kits & Milk To Expectant Mothers In Ekiti by bukster(f): 3:10pm On Nov 24, 2015
It's not good for babies and their mothers to be drinking powdered milk. What would happen is that their babies would become addicted to it and no longer accept the milk from their own mother and the mothers will have to continue to buy the powdered milk. If they can't afford it then their babies won't haveanything to eat.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Ekiti governor's wife was sponsored by a milk company to increase the sales of powdered milk.
