And that justifies our complicity in whatever scheme u are accusing the white man of? 

Either way U cut it, we will still be held responsible. Cheat me once, shame on you. Cheat me twice , shame on me.
If the white man has been that evil, why havent our leaders grown wiser to that? 

For every Rwanda u point out, there are the Nigeria's , the Zimbabwe's et al to counter that argument.
There has to be something INHERENTLY wrong with us which makes it easy for the white man to be using us as puppets all these years.

!!!

The answer is staring u in the face-

hey hey mr cold, dont go there pls. i agree the haitians should have whatever money they can get but dont let urself be fooled into thinking the whiteman is nice. they'll have all the feel good about this aid but that's it. nothing more

I'm not maqin them out to be saints but i'm just sayin y shld they care abt the black man wen we don't giv two shakes of a duck's tail abt ourselves.

I don't blame any Black Nation. . . . .These white lethargic devils poisoned our lands whilst siphoning a huge proportion of our natural resources.
There's no coup in that does not have the blessings of Caucasians.

Their objective is to sponsor a puppet Dictator with arms and cash and control the resources of such States.
Was Thatcher's son not arrested in for alleged involvement in a coup attempt?
That is the level these white bastards can stoop to make African children dig for food in refuse dumps.[/quote]So does this sum up the whole thread that we're inferior to white man

@cold

i dont get your point but i was trying to refute someone's statement that the black man is heartless. i believe the average blackman is compassionate but somewhat ignorant

I made that statement that the heart of man is desperately wicked is specifically referrin to the black man.Gawd y do we hate our selves so much.The aid to Haiti we're talkin abt,u'll discover that the 'white skinned' man wld maq practically 3/4 of the donations even if he has nothin to loose if Haiti is wiped off the map,get my drift?

We shld contribute our 'widows mite' to help our brothers in Haiti but this is som serious food for thought-how long are goin to continue lyk this

otele:
i disagree, he was refering to the arabs and to a lesser extent the white man. the black man has a heart, infact it is his weakness, usually exploited in history by the whites, and in modern times it makes him weak on issues he should be strict. however the black man's biggest enemy is ignorance. and he ignorantly doesnt know it

I'll assume u're jokin.The black man is his own worst enemy.


after it became a republic europe and america imposed economic trade embargos against the country for over 50 years which caused its economy to collapse.

Ur argument falls flat on it's face when we bring Cuba to the equation.After years of trade embargo courtesy of the United States-Cuba can still hold its own.For the record,Cuba has one the best natural disaster warnings in the world in place for disasters such as hurricanes & earthquakes.I ask again,is this an issue of color or brainsize.

When God said 'the heart of man is desperately wicked' he was actually referrin to the black man & _{to a lesser extent the arabs}.

Davidylan i as much as i feel horrid about ur opinion on this issue i can't help but concur.The black race is cursed,no nation on earth with a majority of black ppl is rankin amongst the top 15 this is terrible.Taq Naija for example-are we prepared for a disaster of this enormity?The answer is a big no & wen it happens we'l begin to rain curses on the international community for not doin enuf. nobody is prayin for such things but we nid to prepare bcuz u neva know.Is it an issue of color or brain size i'm at a loss

The problem is most of my 'dark skinned' sisters always come across as hostile & are always cocooned in their shells,while white chics, in spite of all d talk abt racism are more liberal, receptive & accommodatin.They understand the worth of a black man,i know frm xperience.

I will take this as compliment too but you so called scholars of history with big brain but small output always surprise with your analysis.thanks heaven,i do supply  links sometimes to drive home my point, read and see what your igbo brothers committed before making noise

[quote author=!amebo no1 link=topic=380664.msg5311370#msg5311370 date=1263437389]yes you were missing the point at first

and no im not contributing, i will only contribute IF I WANT TO, it is not required or expected of me[/quote]nobody ever said anythin abt marriage was obligatory,ur husband didn't hav to marry u if he thought it was forced upon him,except my intuitions are wrong.Marriage shld be an event predicated on consent of both parties.Same with the finance involved.

@poster
God works in mysterious wayz n faith in Him is one of d best things a man can do 4 himself.4get if d pastor scammed u or nt,d question is. . Didyu beliv? Like sum1 said previously 'u dint say if u got d job'. .if u'v nt but u later do get it,wil u tel us?


the guy is obviously ridiculing pentecostal churches.did anyone force him to give offering?

If he got the job does that neccessarily mean that the 1000 naira he gave the church did the trick pulezz giv us a break.Nobody is out to ridicule anybody but ur pentecostal churches are ridiculin themselves

[quote author=!amebo no1 link=topic=380664.msg5311354#msg5311354 date=1263437094]now you are missing the point, who"s talking about breaking a union?

the issue now is a woman giving a man money to marry her[/quote]No i don't think i'v missed anything.Wld u say if u contributed 1/10tnth to ur own weddin u'd be sellin urself short?

[quote author=!amebo no1 link=topic=380664.msg5311334#msg5311334 date=1263436517]fine, keep to your budget and pay for it, my dad contributed in my time cos im the last child like he did with all his kids, my sisters n brothers wanted to but my husband refused, b4 he accepted my dad it was a war

im marrying your daughter, shes  not marrying me[/quote]fine lyk i said if u hav it u can throw a million pound weddin but if he doesn't hav enuf wld u break off the r/ship based on the strength of his finance at the moment as against a long lastin happy union?

[quote author=!amebo no1 link=topic=380664.msg5311310#msg5311310 date=1263435808]Im an igbo gurl , and i ask again, who is marrying who? if i proposed to him , fine i will foot the bills but if he did, then he has to pay for it, on the introduction day the guy wanted to pay with eftpos if possible cos him cash don finish

ok seriously what if shes a student, where will she get the money from? i was a student myself then , and would rather use my money to buy me clothes and shoes than give it to a man to MARRY ME [/quote]I once 'escorted' a frnd to an elders meetin on the discussion of a marriage plan some yrs ago & he made it abundantly clear that he wasn't goin to exceed his budget, they either accept it or call off the whole thing.I mean a wedding only last a day but life must go on after that.If u hav it spend it if u don't kip it modest.

bluespice:
!

btw happy new yr n where u been?

Dearie happy new yr to u too,i'v bin tryin to catch up with Bill gates.U know what i mean

I imaintain that marriage must not be an event to declare u bankrupt.I'm a bonafide igbo boy,a region with the highest bride price not to talk of trado & the white weddin.But seriously u hav to put ur foot down & insist that the marriage must proceed on ur own terms or u're backin out period

madlady:

Say sumthin na we want to hear frm u

I said very s.tupid not silly mr Nairaland

You fell in luv with this,you fell seriously in luv with that.Whom do u think u're foolin,u want to eat ur cake & have it,u must be & i choose my words carefully-very stupid.u made ur choice deal with it

The wisdom of men is foolishness unto God,,,,as high as the heavens are above the earth, so is God's wisdom higher than man's!that is why the jews could not imagine their Messiah coming from such poor and lowly background,,,carpenter's son?NAH!!

in the bible,God's children were referred to as SHEEP,,,yes silly,naive,unthinking sheep!in following God,we should keep our 'HIGH INTELLIGENCE and RATIONALITY aside!however,you wont ripe unless you sow,right?

every farmer knows that seed sowing time is never a time for merriment,because seed sowing is PAINFUL!'cast your bread upon many water for in due season,you shall receive them back,'so says the scriptures.

well,sorry man,you've ridiculed away your blessings.you did not sow in faith.fake pastors exist,yes.but the authenticity of God's word about seed sowing remains valid! [color=#006600][/color]

Please spare us the sermon,even the devil knows the bible better than u do.We have already bin warned that in the last days men will draw fire from heaven & even the very elect shall be deceived,watch & pray that ye may not be led astray.God has given u a brain to discern ur left from ur right,to determine right from wrong,why do u continually allow urselves to be conned by these prosperity preachers who scream & speak in tongues lyk the prophets of Baal?When u can quietly pray lyk prophet Elijah & watch God move in a mysterious way his wonders to perform.It pains me when i see my fellow country men fall for this cheap trickery by men who tag themselves 'men of God'.Fellow Nigerians it is tym to taq the wool off ur eyes,verily i say unto u-u shall be the better for it

That pix left me in stitches

1forall:
pstbolanta when I hear such calls for donations decreasing in value I simply dont respond cos I think its a rather coercive manner of fund raising for a church. And I dont think desperation got the better part of the poster afterall he didnt pledge any during the charade. Sorry but next time, make sure you have change  

cold, looks like you're not in touch with present day reality in many nigerian churches, these things do happen for real.

No 1forall i hav not lost touch at all,the truth of the matter is that these so called pastors cash in on the gullibility of nigerians who are desperately searchin for 'miracles'.Nigerians are notoriously religious,pliable & gullible which xplains the explosion of churches in every nook,cranny & crevice of the country.I really can't fathom y pple for for these con men disguisin as 'men of God'.

Why do i find this story very fictional.This sounds very much like a joke i'v bin hearin since childhood but if it's tru then blame urself for allowin ur desperation to get the better part of u.

But then again it is not only Reid that has made allusions to light skinned blacks being more acceptable to 'white skinned' Americans.Colin Powell also admitted that the reason he rose thru the ranks in the white house was bcuz he didn't speak lyk the average negro & in his own words-'i aint that black'.

oluclem:
I can't believe this,  this is the miracle of , from 4:0 to 4:4, Keshi, Nigerians are proud of you

Oh u're suddenly proud of keshi eh.What if the game had ended 4 nil wld still feel the same way?save ur praises for later,it's still early days

@ poster,a church is the fastest & surest route to wealth if u rilly want to get rich this year.Learn the tricks of 'healing the cripple,raising the dead & maqin the blind see'.From so called pastors lyk Chris,Oyedepo & their ilks but rememba me o wen the dough starts rollin in

sjeezy8:
I dont know what Islam you are talkin about  but the ones in Lagos and SW Nigeria dont preach hate or violence.

It's the same islam,they just don't find themselves in the majority so they remain docile lyk the cowards they are.

sjeezy8:   But I am not a terrorist
US Immigration official:   Shut up and strip man, are you not a Nigerian

real4life:
I cant defend what I dont know about islamiyyah schools in some countries abroad, but islamic schools in Nigeria only teach reading and writing in arabic, quran and basic knowledge about the islamic religion. fanatism is always a personal decision taken by a few misguided individuals, but they are not taught that in any islamic school.

As much as I am a 100% supporter of compulsory western education to be enforced in the north, I am also 100% supporter of islamic schools because God must always come first.

Now u just told a pack of lies right there.I was born & bred in Jos and hav been to nearly all states in the north,as a matter of fact my house in jos which was razed to the ground by your 'peaceful almajiris' was close to a mosque & all i eva heard wheneva i cared to listen was nothin but hate sermons,inciteful indoctrinations & 'death to the infidels' so don't come on here tryin to sound all goody goody we know better.Islam & violence are lyk siamese twins one cannnot exist without the other.

real4life:
Must you make derogatory remarks about peoples religion, is that what you were born to do? have you been to a mosque before to hear the "inciting" sermon or are you just a stinking liar

Why do i have the feeling you are a worthless person that will give up his religion(if any) to please a love-peddler. Enjoyment ko, embarassment ni

Who cares, get a life jor

Don't taq it personal-u know & i know that u know that i know that those madrasahs are breedin grounds for extremists,fanatics & lately terrorists of international repute.Instead of gettin all hot under the collar go talk to ur islamic clerics to stop the hate sermons & preach the so much talked about 'peace'.

The bomb courier should face the music for his actions which i condemn in very strong terms.However,that does not exonerate the so called pastor chris from the criticisms of being crooked,pastor chris is a con-& as crafty as they come

WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS NOW.BUT WE CANNT STAY TOGETHER FOR 24 HOURS WITHOUT ISSUES I.E. FIGHTING.SHE INSULTS ME EVERY NOW AND THEN AT THE SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION.WORSE STILL IS THAT SHE CURSES ME, WHICH TO ME IS THE MOST ANNOYING.ALL SORT OF VERY SERIOUS CURSES OVER  ISSUES.

EVERY YEAR END I WILL CALL HER THAT I CANNT TOLERATE HER CURSES THIS NEW YEAR.SHE CANT EVEN GUARANTEE THAT SHE WONT CAURSE ME THIS NEW YEAR.IF NOT FOR GOD MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY MISERABLE DUE TO HER INCENSANT CURSE ON ME.BUT WHAT I OBSERVED IS THAT SHE HAD NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF CURSING OUR LITTLE DAUGHTER.I HAVE CONFRONTED HER WITH THIS FACT.AM NOT SATISFIED WITH HER EXPANATION.

SHE WOKE UP ONE MORNING ABOUT A WEEK AGO THAT IF I DONT ESTABLISH THE BUSINESS I PROMISED, SO SO AND CURSES,
AM REALLY FED UP WITH THE WHOLE THING.WE ARE LIKE STRANGERS----NO CLOSENESS AT ALL,NO INTIMACY AT ALL.ITS FIGHTING AND FIGHTING EVERYDAY.

AROUND OCTOBER,SHE WENT FOR HER BROTHERS WEDDING,ABOUT 30K OF MY MONEY WENT INTO IT.WHEN SHE CAME BACK THE THIRD DAY,SHE INSULTED ME THAT AM A SlowPoke THAT WHY DIDNT I CALL HER BROTHER ON SATURDAY WHEN EVRYBODY WAS CALLING HIM.
SO MANY ISSUES LIKE THAT.

I HAVE BEEN TELLING HER ALL ALONG I WANT TO QUIT BUT THIS TIME AROUND ITS LIKE MY MIND IT MADE UP.SHE DOESNT BELIEVE SHE IS WRONG IN ANYTHING.SHE HAD EVEN INSULTED MY MOTHER SHE NEVER KNEW IN HER GRACE.
BUT AM A XTIAN BUT AGAIN I CANT CONTINUE TO LIVE AN UNHAPPY LIFE WITH A CURSING WOMAN.WHAT DO I DO?[/quote]Young man i hav 1 piece of advise for you-give it another 365 days & see whilst seekin counsellin,if it does not work-walk away.There's absolutely no rzn why a wife shld be rainin curses on the hubby,if u're not cheatin on her,hittin her unnecesarily,or facin up to ur responsibilities as the head of the house.If u hav fully satisfied urself that u're not found wantin in any of these qualities then try the 1 yr experience b4 breaking up.
