chris365: Yes of course, the same people that matter supported the apartheid in jailing him for decades right?

I didn't know that apple supported apartheid?



Really? Was Steve Jobs the evil one leading the charges?

agaugust: .


.No American drones in nigeria fighting boko haram....just as we claimed before and the south africans argue and believe everything they reqad in punch newspapers without using their own heads to think....the same punch now counters its own stories of "...eyewitnesses said they saw...."

It's still categorised as a civil war, though. Drone or no drone.

The military failed its people.

agaugust: nigerian army...bush warriors

But the bush warriors are failing in their own country.

So much so that what started off as a little squeamish has been "upgraded" to a civil war...officially.

Now, that's failure.

chris365: . That's apple's opinion not mine.

Exactly. Yours doesn't matter. You sit in Naai-geria hurt. The people that do matter praise Mandela.

The product of Naai-geria is "backwardness". We understand.

Now, about those insults? Show us what you are made of.

chris365: [s]Cry all you want. My opinion still stands. Mandela was a good man with a forgiving heart. But definitely not my hero.
I've got share of heroes and Fela Anikulapo Kuti is one of them. [/s]

All bark. No bite. Apple.com says all the apple fans will look at Mandela's picture this week.

Now, who cares what a hurt little man from Naai-geria thinks, under the circumstances?

chris365: [s]
You are a typical Idiat of you don't know what this means. Do you always need so much explanation to understand the simplest things .

Lawyer indeed[/s].

I'm saying all the right things - hence the "fans". Hurt people.

Now, your first post of the day is "pure brilliance"...not.

Here's Mandela, in your face.

Show us how Naai-gerian you can be.

You did promise you'd insult him, didn't you?

Now, go!

chris365: Gbam. Though the man try sha. But me no worship am. So if these mofos wan take am rub my face, I go insult hum dead memory wellla. Carry on bros. I dey with u.

Insult Mandela some more. It's only a reflection on Naai-geria.

Give out your best shot and show us your true colours.

agaugust: i need not argue with you to know you are a fake lawyer....for by their fruits, ye shall know them.

.

It's not as if you've got any arguments to advance. You tried to argue and now you've lost.

Now, go stand in the naughty corner and be a good boy. Move along hastily.

Running away is all you're good for.

agaugust: [s]thousands of nigerians have voiced out to boko haram, including prominent nigerian elder statesmen, traditional rulers, and international icons of both christian and muslim religions.

why should boko haram listen to mandela instead of prominent nigerian muslim leaders whose religion boko haram claims to be defending ?

@fighterpilot's comment insinuates that mandela's brain works better than that of 160 million nigerians and so we need him to solve our problems.

i have enough common sense to 'read in between the lines' when anyone writes and tries to 'cover up' his real intentions.

my brain is not dull like yours, so mind your own business, you this thread derailing fake lawyer ![/s]

.

I don't care about the above.

I care about your lies.

You cannot prove that Fighter_Pilot said that Mandela is the only man that can help on BH.

You lashed out because of hate and jealousy and you were rightly exposed.
The same way you lashed out when Mandela was praised. One moment you argue that he is only one of many on the list of Africa's greatest sons and the next, you condemn him.

The jealousy has confused you and you don't know where you want to stand.

Now you want to come up with stories.

And I challenged you to prove that I am fake and that you aren't. You ran away. Now I know that the truth is burning your backside - hence the loud lashing out.

agaugust: well, you quoted me out of context, you did not fully follow the trail of comments between @fighterpilot and @agaugust.

he commented that mandela is the only man that can help nigeria settle the boko haram problem.

.

No, he did not.

He said Mandela could have been listened to by Boko Haram.

Stop lying. You were caught with your pants down - hating South Africa and a universal hero. That's why you're now writing this long story of rubbish.

You cannot produce the red.

Liar.

And Mandela is loved even by the majority of the community that the victims came from. Love wins.

Your hatred, lies and jealousy lose.

morpheus24: Typical of White infiltrators in African forums.

The "god" complex

The misplaced "god complex" (mixed with an inferiority complex) of an African who thinks he can decide who is African and who isn't.

Typical backwardness from a Naai-gerian African.

Henry120: Ignore craigb and his senseless posts.

Many have tried. Many have failed.

My hard-to-ignore posts hit home about the failing military of naai-geria. When the pain gets too much, Naai-ralanders resort to derailment.

It's as simple as that.

agaugust: Mandela was a boko haram style terrorist according to that photo and weblink from south africa itself....live with it

.

Mandela is revered because he taught the world about forgiveness. Surefootedness at a pivotal moment. Whether he was a terrorist in your eyes or not a terrorist is totally irrelevant.

Something the warring tribes of Naai-geria are in dire need of.

De Klerk was an apartheid president, but he was a warded a Nobel peace prize.

Grow up. Wake up. Smell the coffee.

all4naija: I think Mandela aka MADIBA(I like that word, although, I don't know the meaning) is a South African black Jesus, who helped to liberate the people from the shackles of Apartheid. It's also a revered figure around the world. I think he is a God who needs to be worshiped in one form or the other after his death - for his humilitity, understanding of peaceful human coexistence and more.

Thank you.

P.S: I am not on crack,dude!

Is Mandela not (to quote you) "primitive"?

rka1: Don't tell me, it is factually based.

No need to. Totally unnecessary.

rka1: I can smell it alright, coming from your direction.

My point - Proven beyond any shadow of a doubt. Your many words have become shorter and emptier.

The truth does that to a person.

rka1: Oh well, never mind, some other time maybe.

Now there's a clever boy!

rka1: Sorry, come again, what facts?

You can read. No need to repeat them.

You have yourself to blame for writing many words of nothing. No numbers to back them up.

rka1: Err, I think you ought to be looking at your own behaviour and reasoning, which leaves a lot to be desired. I am really glad I was educated in naija.

Only problem's my reasoning's fact-based.

Yours? Not so much.

Not so long ago, you happily denied you have a media freedom problem. You're used to the stench. You can't smell the rot.

rka1:

Na wah for the guy. I just dey play am for e own game

All you've done is help me post more stuff. Facts. You have offered nothing.

Delusions are endemic in Naai-geria.

agaugust: you even annoy me the more...

the photo is for real , and posted by a respected church bishop and bishop in umzimkulu

[size=16pt]south africans ride donkeys....many areas have very bad roads....no cars can drive on them[/size]


"Roads are very bad, especially after rain - the cars of missioanries are often pulled by oxen when they get in trouble and slide off the road. Travelling by the people is mostly done on foot and on the horse for men when they have one. And boys ride the donkeys."

It's the usual smoke and mirrors approach. The "I'm desperate now" approach.

all4naija: The difference is that your people live like that on daily bases while Nigerians wear that on traditional display activities or events. You see! You can now see what I am trying to educate you about.

Well, let's have some respect for Mandela's pass-away and stop the insults for the time being.

Thank you.

Is that so?

Pray tell, which "traditional display activity" is the below?

Simple question. No one's been insulted.

rka1: Look at the countries that are listed below satisfactory and you will find they are battling rebels, are in civil wars or battling insurgencies. If that doesn't tell you anything, then nothing I can do for you.

Exactly. No journalistic freedom because.... (irrelevant why!).

Fact of the matter is you lot come from a society that murders its journalists, which is why you always have problems with the links and articles that we post. That's the point.

You've recognised that you are listed as "less than satisfactory" (doesn't matter why) and therefore, your behaviour, as well as that of your fellow Naai-gerians can be understood in this context.

rka1: The article quotes genuine people so not just one person's opinion. You think it is ok for SA just to be satisfactory considering it isn't fighting an insurgency?

I dread to think what would happen should the country descend into chaos.

The numbers posted say the article is a contextual opinion.

The chart from the "custodians of press freedom" says South Africa is satisfactory. Naai-geria isn't.

It's simple.

And you did well to recognise that Naai-geria is chaotic.

rka1: Oh! I see, when it is SA, it is someone's opinion, but when it is a Nigerian situation, it is fact.

It says clearly: "Opinion" at the top. You posted it, so you should have seen that.

Now, I am giving you numbers below. They say South Africa is "satisfactory"

"Naai-geria" is not.

You murder your journalists, I repeat.

rka1: So much for a free press in SA. I thought you guys are the beacon of press freedom for all.

South Africa: Can We Celebrate Media Freedom?
By Tarisai Nyamweda, 25 October 2013

opinion


Johannesburg — After returning from the Media Freedom Day seminar held at Parliament in Cape Town last week, I opened three of today's newspapers, and found hardly any women on the front or back sports pages. I had to ask, as we count down to twenty years of democracy, how free is the media when women are so glaringly absent?

We commemorate National Media Freedom Day to remember 19 October 1977 or Black Wednesday, when the apartheid government unleashed a vicious clamp down on press freedom. Since the end of the apartheid regime, South African media has welcomed transformation to ensure media freedom, diversity and to foster a well-informed society.

This year's seminar brought together various media practitioners, government and civil society to celebrate 19 years of media freedom & 10 Years of media development and diversity.

Speaking at the seminar, Executive Director of the National Association of Broadcasters, Nadia Bulbulia, noted that the media cannot be transformed if the oppressed and exploited are prevented from any meaningful role. It is true then that this transformation will only be meaningful if we employ gender balance as a key indicator of diversity and media freedom.

Media freedom and gender equality are inextricably linked and we cannot have one without the other. Furthermore, the media remains a powerful agent of change for achieving gender equality and broader social transformation.

The SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, which South Africa has ratified, calls for 50% women at all levels of decision-making in the media, as well as in media content, by 2015.

William Bird, Director of Media Monitoring Africa said,”52% of the population are women but only 21% of their voices are in the media. This is not in touch with reality.” Eric Kholwane, chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communication agreed saying that women still lack a voice in the media sector.

According to the 2013 SADC Gender Protocol Barometer published by Gender Links and the SADC Gender Protocol Alliance, out of all Southern African countries South Africa has the highest proportion of women sources at 28%. However, this is still far below the 50% target. The regional average is at a poor 22%, with Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo with the lowest in SADC at 17%.

According the 2013 Report on the Transformation of Print and Digital Media in South Africa, which was presented at the seminar, senior posts in boardrooms and newsrooms remain the domain of men. “Women hardly set foot in boardrooms and have virtually no presence in ownership and management,” reads the report.

Similarly, the 2009 Gender Links Glass Ceilings Study shows that women in Southern Africa constitute 41% of those working in the media and only 28% of those in management. In South Africa, there are an equal number of women and men employees, but women make up 38% of directors; 35% of senior management and only 25% of top management. These figures are some of the highest in the SADC region, but still fall short of a gender balance.

Although the degree of media freedom is far better than it was during apartheid, and this country has made strides in mainstreaming gender in the media, we need greater transformation before South Africa can truly celebrate media freedom and diversity. Moreover, when we reflect on the Protection of State Information Bill which government recently signed into law, as well as the influence corporates have on private media, we cannot deny that censorship is still a reality.

The media also continues to exclude the voices of many citizens, notably women; people with disabilities; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) and people from poor communities. These citizens are denied the right to be heard, rendering them invisible from our headlines and unable to participate and benefit from our democracy.

If the media helped defeat a racist regime and contributed to racial equality, it can help defeat patriarchy and drive gender equality. Until we break the glass ceiling, media freedom does not truly exist.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. An argument of "outliers". An opinion by arisai Nyamweda, I believe?

Waste of time!

Now, hard numbers say we are satisfactory and you are not. "Difficult situation", it says, about Naai-geria.

The worst place for journalists in all of Africa (excl Somalia).

You murder them. And this thread shows why. You hold your journalists in contempt.

agaugust: 15 million south afrcans have ZERO electricity and never seen a light bulb since the day they were born. live with this fact dude



.

It's been established you have no proof.

Fail.

rka1: is proof of collusion by the state?

As argued by me, where?

I must be an amazing troll seeing as I bring facts and you bring, wait for it....nothing..! Fact-based "desperation" is music and your hapless desperation is embarrassing.

I repeat: worst place for journalists = Naai-geria.

And the point remains relevant because you useless lot clearly hate your journalists. The murderers of these journalists come from you lot. That's why you now want to run their work down and tell us about London-based writers.

Sort your electricity out before you talk to us about nuclear.

Nominal numbers below. - Production by country.

And Naai-geria has 170 m people running around that land.
