1) White man’s culture is not altruism. They have always wanted something for something. Better yet. They take if they can and give nothing back. So when you attribute “scratch my back, I scratch yours” as African and call it cultural imperialism to do otherwise, you’re insinuating that white culture is wholesome and African culture isn’t.
2) I know that’s not the point you were trying to make. But that’s what happens when everything you come across becomes African culture versus western culture to you. You end up denigrating Africa because you’re trying to make a moot point that you hope to refer to back to in some future conversations. Pause and think about that for a few minutes.
3) Please stop tagging me in things that don’t concern me. Appreciate
hammer567: WHEN I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WHITE MAN IMPOSING HIS MINDSET AND CULTURE ON OTHER ETHNIC GROUP PEOPLE THINK THAT AM MAD.
HOW CAN SOMEBODY JUST DATCH AWAY HIS KIDNEY, OR HE DONT NEED IT.
CULTURAL IMPERIALISM MUST END, NOTHING GOES FOR NOTHING IN NIGERIA.
I SCRATCH YOUR BACK, YOU SCRATCH MY OWN.
SOME NIGGAS WILLL EVEN DONATE THE KIDNEY IN EXCHANGE FOR MARRIAGE.
SOME WILL WANT MONEY, BUT IT IS THE NIGERIAN WAY AND NOBODY CAN TELL US BRITISH HOLD THE MORAL HIGH GROUND OVER OUR NIGERIAN WAY.
Kajaard: Nice one Coco. It's always good when a true medical personnel explains it. Though it's common for gays to get it, the sickness spreads through touch so anyone can get it.
Thank you
Jakumo: Good to see at least one rational contribution to this discussion. That said, the "It is not my portion" people will soon flock to this thread, followed by the "God forbid bat ting" people, all of who REFUSE to accept that monkeypox can infect ANYONE regardless of sexual preference, age, or gender.
When ebola and Covid 19 reached Nigerian shores, the "it is not my portion" and "God forbid bat ting" people were in full cry, ululating their idiotic beliefs that bad things only affect OTHERS and not the people who simply DECLARE that they are immune to diseases that spread among ALL populations.
Lol at “it’s not my portion”. I’ll give it to us though, we get faith in God no be small. Like if we say “God forbid” and eventually get in contact with it, we’ll be spared because we already sent God to forbid it. Don’t you wish it was that easy? I know I do
BRATISLAVA: I understand that. Just curious if he's gay. Because the disease is being paraded as another gay sex disease, much like HIV, yet it's still transmissible to others.
He’s probably not gay. He doesn’t seem to have the mannerisms (I’m sorry to stereotype them) but who knows?
I think what happened was that it was first noticed in the gay community. So naturally you know someone somewhere has to make it into a negative point against those people. Just like Covid is “China virus” and Ebola is “African disease”.
Mercury12: you rainbow theft lots should not advice me about hate when nature dont even not agree with your unnatural lifestyle. I'm not wicked. You are doing what is not right... Well i am feeling homophonic like the name y'all gave it to discourage people from not liking u people had never felt so good. I'm a proud one and I embrace it
It’
faceland: More like someone husband (as 98% of those with the virus in USA are homosexuals).
rusher14: More like he slept with someone's husband.
More likely in the gay community.
It’s actually spread by contact. Anyone can get it by close contact. So even if you’re straight and someone has it, you can catch it by contact. Don’t want you people to relax and not take precautions thinking that being straight gives immunity to it. You can literally get it from touching their clothes. Please be careful and stay safe out there.
Yes of course sex is one of the closest forms of physical contacts there are. So if one gay person has it, then can give it to their gay partner. But guess what? So can straight people. So be safe y’all https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/if-sick/transmission.html
Yes I agree it’s not a domestic political issue. I was being tongue in cheek about how the tribal bigots are making it one because they’d rather celebrate those they feel helped them oppress a tribe they don’t like
Iamgrey5: The Europeans which the British Royal family was a prominent member stole from all of us.
1)They first came for slaves but soon realized we might outnumber them in the new world (North and South America) especially after seeing various slave revolution in the Caribbeans.
2) Enslaved us all in our lands in the name of colonisation, so they sold us off as companies to various investors "slave owners" like the Royal Niger company which paid taxes to the British empire through resources stolen from our land for decades
3) then decided to give us a false "independence" after world 2 fearing possible revolution from these colonies who now have "Army regiments" that fought side by side with their masters during the war. However, their companies still controlled majority of businesses in the now "independent colonies".
So No!, it's not necessarily a domestic political issue or tribal issue because we were all affected.
It’s a Nigerian domestic political issue because of tribalism. As long as you help the tribal bigots oppress the members of the other tribes they hate, you’re free to steal from them too and they thank you for it
Iamgrey5: What has the queen death got to do with Nigeria internal political issues?
The royal family stole more than enough from everyone of their colonies over the years.
She directly inherited this wealth and never condemned how this wealth was gotten for once throughout her entire existence.
She was only "special" because of what her parents stole from my Ancestors and many like myself to build an empire not because of what she invented or the greatness she contributed to Humanity.
So I don't really care much about her death or existence, we will all die someday because we live to die.
My problem now are the people that suddenly made her death a Nigerian domestic political issue.
I don't believe her death or prior existence is consequential to the future of Nigeria.
Seefinish: Why would some section of Nigeria won't mourn her? The woman supervised the killings of 3millions people of Eastern Nigeria.
Because trouble bigots like GEEBITES think they can hide behind “not joining the woke mob” to celebrate what they really think of other members of the country from a different tribe
Maybe your mushroom royal family is giving you the impression that you have any similarities to this England royal family. That’s why you’re personally offended that your colonizer died and people are not sad.
Woke mob? Oh I thought it was woke to support the westerners? Now that’s no longer woke? You’re now anti-woke for licking the boots of your colonial masters? Which one is it? Sure you’re okay like this?
Anyway the video screenshot I just shared was from yesterday please take your L and move on. You are indifferent about her death yet you’re her on NL hounding those who aren’t mourning her. Very pathetic something
Go and tell South Africans they are woke too.
Those xtupid links are your proof that the Irish aren’t celebrating her death? Meanwhile you can type Irish in the search bar on tiktok or tweeter and see multiple videos including the one from the screenshot.
I don’t even know what xtupid point you’re trying to make.
GEEBITE: Tiktok coco, the joke is on you. Trying to join the woke mob seems fashionable to your ilks. I am from a royal family a major King in Yorubaland who passed away recently.so I wasnt born to asslick anybody.
I am not of opinion that everybody should mourn her as I am unperturbed about her death too. However it should not elicit uncouth remarks or bad utterances from anybody with a sense of decorum.
If you know the atrocities your own ancestors might have committed to felliow tribesmen, you will probably sink to the ground.
Nonetheless that your tiktok vidie reference is fake news and it is better you dont remain gullible to anything you see on the internet. The links below should teset your prejufice
https://apnews.com › article › fact-c... Irish dance video was posted months before Queen Elizabeth's death | AP News
https://www.weareiowa.com › verify Irish dancers are not celebrating queen's death in viral Buckingham Palace video
https://factcheck.afp.com › ... Video of Irish dancers predates Queen Elizabeth II's death - AFP Fact Check
GEEBITE: Liar, liar,pants on fire. You are the doofus who fell for the internet gimmick.. i
Cry about it. They don’t even know you exist nor do they rate you for asslickin them on the internet. You’re just another bottom of the barrel monkey to them.
There are people who are justifiable not enthused about celebrating her and they did have a dance off IN FRONT of the palace despite the activities going on there.
GEEBITE: Give it a rest. Whatever link you want to post is an old one. People kept vigil all night at Buckingham,Balmoral and Windsor Palaces and were being shown live on TV. If you have you been to these places you would know it is practically impossible to do any taunting stunt at this period ? A lady in an obscure part of Scotland who made a mocking video on FB had her shop vandalized and was forced to leave town with police protection. The Irish group dance is an old video.
The Asians took their destiny in their hands and have started competing with the colonizers.
Our grandfathers complained, our fathers complained, we are complaining and our children might complain in future.
We Africans should stop this victim mentality. It's irritating.
But you can do both. Saying you won’t honor or fondly remember those who were active in destroying you doesn’t mean that you’re not currently working on improving yourself. They are not mutually exclusive.
Nigeria can and should take the bull by the horn in our own advancement. We can do that while also acknowledging the harm that was done to us and refusing to honor those who did it. I don’t understand you people’s thought process
Oh I must have posted the wrong link. There are videos of them all over Titktok having a dance off at the palace gate.
I don’t blame those who celebrate.
Her family has to mourn her that’s normal. But if they are expecting the whole world to mourn with, it means they are out of touch with whom they really are.
Emman08: This is from a few months ago though. But who can blame the Irish? At least they remember what they suffered at the hands of the English throne.
Why would anyone especially blacks be sad about her death? We've got zero connection to her well except the violence, racism, pillaging and colonialism her family perpetrated in Africa.
I'm not going as far as celebrating but I couldn't care less
membranus: Then you who is knowledgeable in all things, please give me one black man across the world who is the inventor of those common matches, mirrors, gins and gunpowder used by the white men to delude them. Then it will suffice me.
You think white British people invented alcohol, shiny/reflective surfaces and crude explosives?
Things that where more of discoveries than actual inventions. Things that existed in some form or the other in different cultures across different continents before we even started recording history?
I must be conversing with a child. You must really want the title of uncivilized really badly that you’re going to these lengths to claim it.
membranus: What a delusion to say that the black Igbo and Yoruba and Hausa men that the Oyinboman met here half naked were the inventors of the common matches, mirrors, gins and gunpowder used to capture their imagination and their lands. Please tell that to the birds.
Black people encompass more than just Igbo Hausa and Yoruba. But you seem too slow to know that
membranus: What were your people wearing before civilization came to them, and in which type of houses were they cocooned before Oyinboman brought cement blocks and iron sheets you are using to build your mansions now?
Moreover, being uncivilised does not mean you are animals, but that you are unaware of the modern contemporary ways of living enjoyed by more enlightened societies.
What we wore and our style of architecture before they they came were not wrong. Seems you don’t under the meaning of civilization. Our stuff was different but not uncivilized. It’s them who were actually the uncivilized ones coming to steal and plunder without compunction. That’s what uncivilized.
And if you want to talk about more modern inventions, many were invented by black people but the credit went to the white mine who owned them as slaves.
The British brought civilization to you? So you were an animal before they came?
Epic coonery.
Shameful
membranus: With your generically ingrained regressive mindset, what inventiveness, whether intellectual or machineries do Africans possess to turn against a technologically more advanced invaders, back then or now?
It is dog eats dog out there. British occupation of the Niger area lands was less than 100 years, and they brought civilisation to us. Before and after their occupation, what stops the black inhabitants of the lands from being progressive through scientific and technological innovations? Nothing, but our ingrained laziness and avarice are our problems.
Japan and China were equally occupied by foreign nations, but they recovered and build vibrant economies. But Nigerians, more than 60 years after independence we are still blaming the British for our misfortune, despite many aids they are giving us. Let us wake up, our destiny is in our hands to make or to Mar.
Softmirror: IT'S ALL SENTIMENTALISM. PLEASE LETS BE OBJECTIVE. AFRICA IS NOT THE ONLY CONTINENT THAT WAS COLONIZED, WESTERNIZED. WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN BACKWARDNESS?!!!
membranus: Why did you people always like to blame your misfortunes on other people?
It is not as if Britain itself was never dominated and ravaged by vandals from other lands during the dark and modern ages. But they always recover and rebuild their country, leaving bitterness aside. Unlike you that keeps on nursing and festering yesterday's sores, never moving forward, but developmentally regressing.
Kenyan tribes are suing the Brits for $200 billion dollars for damages they caused them from the late 1800s to 1963. Is anyone asking them move on or that they are blaming everyone else for their problems?
But in Nigeria, it’s better we all die because we hate a certain tribe than come together against a common oppressor. Y’all are shameless. It’s disgusting. One wonders how they were successful in colonizing Africa and I can see it now. It’s because of people like you guys. You’d rather dance for your masters than stand with your brethren. If I was a taker too and saw that fundamental weakness amongst you all, I’d take advantage too. I mean I know that instead of coming together to stop me, you’d turn on each other.
If she was bent on making reparations like you claim, she could have started by returning stolen valuable artifacts still in the possession of the throne. There’s so much she could have done in her decades of reign that she did. We are supposed to thank her for giving us independence without a war. Yea. Thank me when I decide to leave your house without a war after occupying it and using up your resources unfairly for a long time. You should be grateful if I finally decide leave without a war. That’s your logic?
It’s disgusting watching you simp for your oppressor. Very very Pathetic.
candidtalk: If you're a reasonable person then you would extricate the Queen from that because she tried to make a positive difference for all.
She effectively modernised the monarchy and had her own ways of making dignified reparation for the past actions of the British Monarchy any reasonable person knows she cannot be held responsible for.
Some of you are no better than a village lynch mob full of frustrated, hungry, unfulfilled and unhappy people. You just need someone to hate and blame.alwasy to the extent you are ready to even attack a 6 year old kid for the sins of his grandfather.
Discuss the queen's tenure as a monarch, not what held sway before her time, and fault her for wrongdoing if you can otherwise shut up.
Below is what the Queen is known for so you people should just shut up spare us your hatred and let her people, including many black folks of African origin, mourn someone they loved for her own conduct they are able to separate from actions of her ancestors.
MrBrownJay1: can someone point to me ANYTHING remotely positive that the queen of England (or England itself) did for Nigeria/Nigerians that you people should celebrate her? are these not the same people who've had their hands digged deep in the coffers of Nigeria (for generations), robbing you of your own destiny with the help of these bastard elected leaders of Nigeria?!?!?
Many of us Nigerians are really ignorant so you’re up against a brick wall with this post. It’s not penetrating at all. For people who hate the called westernization of Africa, we simp really hard for our colonial masters.
True It’s a 24/7 job. He said he helps so I’ll give him that. But all in all I think he may not have a realistic grasp of how much time things take to get done. Like allocating 1 hour for cleaning in the morning. Lol
For those wondering how someone can vacation without their spouse. It’s okay and normal as long as you’re not going with someone of the opposite gender. With that kind of vacation, a few days is fine. Some people have friend groups that they do get-togethers once every few years. They chose a country that is central to each person’s location and meet up. It’s not unheard of. However one month is too long if that’s the kind vacation we are speaking of.
Unless…. they traveled to their village or somewhere that other family members live. OP is omitting that part. Did your wife travel to go stay with a grandparent, a sibling abroad? Then of course it’s possible to be away for months in that type of situation. How many of you have your moms traveled abroad and didn’t come back for a few months? Did they always travel with your fathers?
BusinessPlan22: Marry a slave bro. Not a wife... She wasn't made to serve you. Get a help or share in the chores. Don't make that woman older than her age. You absolutely don't understand. I be man like you, but that schedule you just drew for her made me sick. That's slavery. I wish you the best bro
It’s actually not a bad schedule if it works for the person who applies it. I mean from 12noon-5pm she’s basically doing her own stuff (resting, movies, whatever she likes). That would be nice if attainable .
However it’s a bit unrealistic from a parent point of view. Nobody who has a toddler has 5 hours of absolutely free time in a day unless someone else is handling the child care. Not to mention he allocated one hour cooking. Realistically it takes more time than that to make stuff from scratch.
