queensmith: Again i dont feel like the blacks as a community or a culture are owed anything ,its up to every individual to make a consious contribution to his or her society. We cannot rely on the success of others for this.

Very much so.

A community should not be dependent on the personal decisions of a few. People generally should have the freedom to choose and decide whatever they want to do and whoever they want to be with, as long as it does not affect others negatively. Having a partner of a different race is a personal choice and should have nothing to do with the community except we are still living in the feudal era.

Personal decisions should remain what it is. Personal.

@op

You came to the wrong medium to seek for advice! A lot of sad people will revel at your situation>

You need to accept yourself for who you are and let your confidence shine through. Stop the negativity, I am sure your face is not as bad as seal's.

Even so, we are all unique in different ways.



Work hard, make loads of money and you'll see that your looks will be last on your mind.

I'm pretty sure this would be the response a few years ago if one should ask if it was possible to have a non-white American president!

Anything is possible.

@ Nene1

Indeed there seem to be a peculiar pattern amongst successful black Men that tends to associate them with non-black partners. A lot of successful black sportsmen and western celebrities fit the bill.

However there seem to be a similar pattern amongst our beautiful black women too. They tend to be intolerant with seeing their male counterparts with other races whilst if a black man sees a black woman with a white man, he tends to be more passive and tolerant.

I think it would take a sociologist to be able to explain or give theories why such tend to happen. I'm sure some white women tend to feel in a similar way when they see their white male with other races. Personally, I think its a human thing.

Playing chess with the baby is not that bad!

tiblow: PEOPLE DO WONDER THE GENESIS OF THEIR PROBLEM AND THE REASON WHY THINGS ARE NOT WORKING FOR THEM. THIS IS AS A RESULT OF PUTTING THEIR MOUTH IN MATTERS THEY HAVE NO INKLING ABOUT.

1. DID U CALL ANY MAN OF GOD?
2. IS ANY MAN OF GOD ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU?
3. WHEN DID U SUDDENLY BECOME A JUDGE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S MATTER?
4. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOG IN YOUR OWN EYES?

I THINK YOUR OWN LIVES SHOULD BE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO YOU THAN OTHERS.

"YOUR IGNORANCE MAY ALLOW YOU TO LAUGH THIS OFF,BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THE SAME
IGNORANCE WILL NOT SUCCEED AT SAVING YOU IN YOUR DAY OF CALAMITY WHICH YOU BROUGHT
UPON YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN MOUTH".

WISEMAN

More foolish people with foolish posts! Let me try to use your moronic logic to answer your idi.otic questions.

1. No. But were you there to witness the so-called 'call'? How does one get a calling and what parameters are there to ascertain the genuineness of a 'calling'

2. No. are the people posting their opinions accountable to you or your fraudster?

3. The day freedom was giving to all and sundry.

4. The log in my eyes is free for everyone one to comment or criticize on. That is the only way I can learn from mistakes and move forward

Now let me elevate myself from you ignorant way of thinking.

Back to reality. The only calamity you talk about exists in your little world. You can't scare people shut just because your mind is not versatile enough to be open-minded.

Fact. Your man of God is a mere mortal that was born like everybody and will die like any other man. He is only a clever man that is benefiting from a corrupt society.

tithe: LAST WARNING: LET THIS BE THE LAST TIME U GUYS WILL POST ANYTHING AGAINST A MAN OF GOD OR THIS NAIRALAND WILL CRASH.

Pathetic waste of space!

So, Christianity to you is an ammunition to threaten people. You want to suppress people's right to express themselves because the truth is hitting your nerve. Unfortunately for your pathetic soul, not everyone is embedded in fear. The Fear that has captivated your ignorant mind.

Your man of God is a Charlatan that is only valuable to a minority of people on earth. A very foolish minority. He is a mere man that has used a very valuable commodity, Religion, to enrich and elevate himself in a very corrupt society.

Go and threaten the mugs in your church.

Becoming useless??

When have they been useful?

Richvkunt:

Although,I doubt if even Mr Oyedepo really believes in the after life,it is just a bogey which he uses to keep his gullible followers in check,and the money pouring in!

My stand from day one!

These guys are atheists in disguise. They don't give a damn about anybody, including their foolish followers. A country where poverty is rife, a man who claims to be God's representative on earth is arrogantly living like a God in the very midst of poverty. Yet he is exalted more than the Humble Christ. Funny!

johnwell: Luke 6:26 says "Woe to you when all men speak well of you,..." am not and will never be suprise of what anybody says about the MOG.
When all these ritualists/politicians steal money and do whatever they like, you'll clap your hands and celebrate, but a MOG prosper and you are lamenting. my advise is ... go and buy rope to hang yourself because more breakthrough are coming.

Mmmm, Indeed!

When ritualists and politicians steal money, people clap and celebrate!
When MOG prospers steals money, people complain!

MOG's are the only divine beings that have the authority from God to steal and no one else!

More grease to your elbows almighty Oyedepo!

I hope you get richer and your family deserve all the comfort bestowed on them.


Your followers are so damn gullible they deserve what you are doing to them. They deserve to be conned.

More Jets, More Money and more luxury for you and your 'inner circle'!

To hell with your foolish followers!

The Advent of Bosingwa was the beginning of doom!

His Inept and wimpy skill cost us the first goal. Pls watch 1 min before the penalty. All that idio.t should have done was to clear the ball, but as usual he got dispossessed! Very Pathetic!


All the players were pathetic and were losing the ball. Torres still unsure whether to hit the ball or hold on to the ball when in the box of the opponents.


Ramires is like a thin paper trying to play with a rock, that dude is a joke!
Not a fan of sturrigde, but that dude should have been in that game, he may not pass the ball, but guarantee he will give clichy some trouble.

That team needs a systematic overhaul! Lampard should not be allowed to play full minutes.

Dimatteo needs to grow some balls and bench the inept 'oldies'.

If only God can give a sign or show up to put a rest on these 'There's is a God or not' debate that has been circulating throughout history!

I know one thing for sure, no faith/non-faith has the monopoly of knowledge or wisdom. And no indices to show that God favours those who believe in him and despises those who don't. (atleast in real life) I.e those who believe in God suffer too. Fact

Both parties(Atheists and believers) experiences the good and bad that life offers! And as for the heavenly reward that seems to be one of the benefits that 'religious' folks profess, no evidence whatsoever that it exist or that it is exclusive to a particular faith. And if it really exists, most faiths claim that it is their 'birth-right' and fellow believers of different faiths are not welcomed unless they subscribe to the other's doctrine (Stingy bas.tar.ds)


So, WTF!

Death Death Death!!


-Sighs-

Whose clever idea was it to join several tribes together to form a country?

More reason why women should not be bosses!

Too damn emotional!

dustydee: And she has the guts to complain about corruption. Even aso rock does not spend that much on a person per meal( I believe)

Erm Erm!

Take 1 billion Naira and divide it by the president and Vice-president's families.

Migdets?

At those finding it funny, I'm hoping you'll see the funny side when you come home one day and witness your daughter or son playing in the same way with a friend!

Is Mr Nonso sharing a house with P.square?

Am pretty sure that is the same pix that was ascribed to P. Square!

what are the odds that Apoel will go through to the final?

10000000/1

Anything can happen!









*in fantasy land*

This is Chelsea's year.

lalaboi: Still waiting for some scum to come here and say Ivanovic was shyte or he lacked creativity or whatever.

Ivanovic's persistence and Drogba's resilience won us that game!


Remove those two, would we have won?

Adetayo100: I hope we play Bayern Munich in the next round.

Really?

I mean really! I'd rather get Marsaille, Nicosia or AC milan!!

Not bayern, at least for now.

BlueDiva: This is simple.

Anyways, a quarter final place and a 4th spot is good enough for me.
Let's rescue the season the best way we can.

If we can maintain this upward momentum, I can assure you that we can surpass the 4th spot and quarter final projections.


These guys have won 3 out of 3, and the spirit is very high. (Mancini must be worried)

If only Sturigde can be mature enough to pass at the appropriate time and stop bieng a di-ck head, and Torres should believe more in himself.

Then we can do this!

OmoPastor: @ op


not paying your tithe will not stop you from going to heaven but it will definitely rob you of a lot of things here and thereafter.

^^^^^^

One of the most stu..pid statement I have ever encountered with regards to religious foolishness!

Its too bright and too scattered. Geez.

You seem to have complicated a very simple and user-friendly format! A format that attracted a lot of people in the first place!

Very uninspiring to search through topics as everything is clogged up and posting seem to be getting more futile!


What is the point of this change anyway?

To attract more viewers or to piss-off the ones you already have?

cap28:
Dont be fooled by those NGOs and other so called charitable organisations - many of them are funded by big corporations and therefore can not bite the fingers that are feeding them -it is in their own interests to remain silent about the atrocities being comitted by their financiers.

Amnesty International is a good example - when black africans were being slaughtered like animals by the NATO backed rebels in libya they remained silent about these atrocities  - infact rather than report on these terrible crimes they continued peddling lies that the black africans in libya were mercenaries knowing fully well that one third of libya's population is actually black - an entire town known as Tawerga which used to be  inhabited by black libyan people was wiped off the face of the earth as a result of ethnic cleansing carried out by the racist arab NTC and their NATO allies.

The NTC rebels slaughtered black africans on the ground while NATO dropped bombs on them from the air - but Amnesty international remained silent  throughout - are these the kind of charities that you are referring to?

These international charites are really big businesses masquerading as charities .

Every single problem we have in africa today was created by europe and america and they are still creating more - they are behind all the civil wars currently taking place all over africa - they sell africans the guns, bombs and other sophisticated weaponry in order to keep africa in a permanent state of anarchy.

Charles Taylor of Liberia was trained, armed and funded by the CIA.
Blaise Campaore of Burkina FAso was funded by the french and the americans and the french helped him to assassinate Thomas Sankara.
Museveni of Uganda was armed and is still being funded by America.

Paul Kagame of Rwanda is armed and funded by America - the americans were responsible for triggering the genocide that resulted in the death of over 1 million Rwandans within 3 months.

Joseph Kabila is controlled and armed by France and America.

Ouattara of Ivory Coast a former IMF executive is armed and  backed by france - he is now currently the chairman of ECOWAS.

I agree with you, hence the reason I mentioned in my earlier post about the western hypocrisy.

But do agree as well, you cant just go around and keep frowning at the next 'white Man' as though he , personally, is responsible for the atrocities some people that he happened to share the same skin colour with has committed.  That is grossly unfair.

And such is the case with this innocent lady, who came on this forum, without insulting anybody, just to ask for advise, seem to be dealt with.

cap28:
Goinng back to my quote - why should we be bothered about this woman

british people do not give two hoots about anyone in africa - therefore why should we care about them, especially when you bear in mind that the british govt in collaboration with powerful multinationals like shell are singularly responsible for the economic and political chaos that we are currently experiencing in nigeria.

we are very good at beign kind and charitable to foreigners but treat our own people like crap - does that make sense to you?

no british person would ever put a nigrerian before his own people - especially where it concerns job prospects.

if you ended up working in an office with this woman (who i still believe is a figment of the poster's imagination) she would never be forthcoming with positive advice that would benefit you.

1. Goinng back to my quote - why should we be bothered about this woman

Because she is human, just like you and I. And have come on a Nigerian website to ask about Nigeria. And we both have no proof that she is racist, If at all the little we know about her suggest otherwise. Racist never marry outside their race.

2. british people do not give two hoots about anyone in africa - therefore why should we care about them, especially when you bear in mind that the british govt in collaboration with powerful multinationals like shell are singularly responsible for the economic and political chaos that we are currently experiencing in nigeria.

Again, you are generalising and grouping a variety of people from different background as one. 'Racist' British people do not give two hoots about anyone in Africa. And yes we should not care about British people that are Racist. And also, several factors including the one you listed contributed to 'the economic and political chaos that we are currently experiencing in nigeria.' Factors such as, tribalism, greed, corruption, lack of empathy, ignorance and a lot more.

3. if you ended up working in an office with this woman (who i still believe is a figment of the poster's imagination) she would never be forthcoming with positive advice that would benefit you.

Another negative generalisation. How do you know this?. Are you telling me all 'White British People' are racist? Are all White British people incapable of giving positive advice to benefit other races including black. Haba!

Dear Cap28, you and I hardly know the lady, yet you have already judged her based on assumptions! That is not fair on her part! and on the part of humanity!

C'mon, why don't we give Love and Tolerance a chance! Yes there are still some bad apples in the mix, that dont mean we should discard the whole basket!

cap28:
Even on our own continent they still exert control and power over us - our economic policies are all drawn up and dictated to us by washington and london - failure to go along with any of them normally results in economic sanctions or military attack as was the case with libya, iraq and  ivory coast. 

Goinng back to my quote - why should we be bothered about this woman

british people do not give two hoots about anyone in africa - therefore why should we care about them, especially when you bear in mind that the british govt in collaboration with powerful multinationals like shell are singularly responsible for the economic and political chaos that we are currently experiencing in nigeria.

It is true, the western hypocrisy knows no bounds and there are still certain elements that still holds a condescending attitude towards the third world countries. However, there various other organisations and entities that continue with various relief programs and charities that endeavours to try and alleviate the problems of Africa, some problems which the former colonial masters contributed to.

My point is, yes racism is very prevalent, but it is wrong to sum  the white race together and label them as racist.

That was my post above, I posted using a colleagues ID by mistake.

cap28:
first of all lets be clear on one thing, racism is about power not about personal dislike or prejudice towards someone of a different race.

I dis-agree with your definition of racism .

The dictionary's version is much more accurate and incisive about the meaning of racism.

According to the dictionary, racism is a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Racism is about discrimination towards another another race different from your own.

cap28:
when i hear black people referring to fellow blacks as racist i just cringe in embarrassment - we cant be racist even if we tried because the way we feel about white people doees not affect their ability to get a job, earn money or gain access to education - in other words THEY have full control over our means of livelihood and they manipulate access to those things in order to ensure that we remain powerless and under their control. This power that they have over us is what racism is all about because it is about a dislike for a people backed by the power to do something about it, so please can you stop getting it twisted with this whole fake notion that black people are on an equal footing with whites and are therefore capable of being just as racist as whites.

Dear Cap28, are you saying that black people are incapable of being racist? So is racism on related to black/white?

What about the hispanic/black racism? or chinese/arab racism?
A black man can be as ignorant as a white racist. Racism is not only applicable to a specific race, it happen accross the spectrum of humanity at varied degrees.

To note otherwise and judge a whole race by the actions of 'some' of them is unfair to the rest who possesses no such feeling or animousity.

This is just getting messier!

luvbird:
Must I b a woman 2 sound like I do?am nt even related,she (wifey) was discharged after receiving 2pints of blood,of which her hubby dnt pay a dime for or search for,d family dnt just tke her,she was discharged and her hubby was throwin a party while  mother and child were stil on d hospital bed, as 4 u d hubby I feel sorry 4 u cos instead of raining abusive words on d family u shuld act lik a man and curb ur tougue,u dnt feel ashamed washing ur dirty linen in public,remember at d end of d day wen every1 who said smtin as regards dis issue wud go home 2 deir loved onces bt u wil return 2 an empty house and a cold bed,even if u tke cheap girls or ur 2nd wife it won't b like ur wife u married,dnt u even tink of ur health, u ar infected wit hepatitis,who knows which girl gave u, dis virus is deadlier dan hiv,treat urself,remember lies ar said by silly pple,accepted by fools and spread by idiots,if u love ur wife spare her dis shame bt if nt carry on,we wil al know if u truly love her and want her

Erm, what if it was the wife?

Luvbird, it is obvious that you are part of the problem.

-sighs-  women!

OP, Sometimes the mind plays tricks on us. Your husband is probably looking for something that is not missing. He is insecure!

Some people tend to just read meaning to simple things! He'd  probably noticed something unusual and rather than asking you, he just assumed. An innocent visit has now triggered a reaction based on his initial assumption. There is definitely more to it, and until he finds a way to communicate his insecurities and assumptions to you and hears your on side, he might repeat this same behaviour in a different way on another occasion.

Just my point of view!

My Paternal Grandma is my inspiration!

She was selfless and was always asking us what we wanted to eat. She refused to call us our first names rather she called us the names she gave us at birth.

Even when she did not have much, she makes sure she gave us money after each visit, no matter how small.

Before she died, My aunt told me she went on the highway looking for her grandchildren

I cry every time I remember  her because she died before I became old enough to provide for her!

Her love, care and humility propels me each day and made me who I am today.

RIP Sedikatu and I hope to shower my kids with the same love you bestowed on me and my sibling !

Nigerians deserve to be scammed!

I hope these charlatans continue to be successful, I hope they continue to afford their families the best money can provide. I hope they continue to live their lives to the fullest. I hope they continue to be worshipped and have their egos massaged by more foolish people.

I hope they continue to flaunt their wealth in front of their mugs whilst the same mugs continue to shout 'hallelujah', I hope they live long and continue to hold the brains of their mugs in their hands!

I hope that by the time our 'mugs' realise their folly it will be too late for them!

These mugs deserve it!
