Kobojunkie:
EVERY MEDIA HOUSE ON THIS PLANET, . . . . EMBELLISH, AND FROM TIME TO TIME serve as PROPAGANDA tools.

this coming from kobojunkie is a great achievement

McKren:
Which means they are not fighting for anyone's freedom rather than their pocket

this might as well be the biggest challenge in the niger-delta

mugabe is evil . . . i agree

but anybody here who is pretending that the western media does not "embellish" their presentation is a big time wanton fool for all i care.

i have met a parliamentarian who was elected as an independent representing a constituency somewhere near manchester(b/c he mentioned being alex ferguson's and man u's representative) for one term and served as a BBC foreign correspondent b4 his election and he stated that the problem he had with the BBC was that they deviated their focus from news reporting to 'imagery' of poverty in africa and western aid to alleviate poverty.

this was so annoying to him as the media became a propaganda tool.

yeah mugabe is evil, but let's not pretend that the western media is that great dude that reports objectively

that is a lie

what a thread

australian girl freed

nigerians executed. . .

someone said their offence is different, can the person show me the indonesian law(s) that says if the quantity is small or for personal use there will be different punishments? was the girl freed? or her sentence commuted? if she was freed good for her, but the naijans might have at least had their sentence reduced to life imprisonment.

well, it's all the same pattern. no disrespect for indonesian laws, but the pattern here may not really be about skin color but that of ''reasonable'' country vs 'yeye country' . xenophobia in SA attacked people from certain type of countries. hmmm

i'm not sure it is necessary for me to write about the culpability of the 2 guys. it is incontrovertible. no debate.

however i must note the difference in treatment based on the ''color'' of their passports. if we ''arrange'' our country well, we get better respect and when we beg for our citizens abroad, we may be listenned to.

advice to nigerians travelling. with your passport and skin color, you are already guilty of an imaginary offence. so we must go the extra mile to show we are honest travellers all the time.

may their souls rest in peace. _{and may other nigerians learn from their lesson}

davidylan:
Tsvangirai already won a rigged election. The fact that it took months to release the results of the general elections is an indication Mugabe lost by a much wider margin and the ZANU party were simply looking to exploit the less tha 50% votes won loophole.

off-topic

from the above statement, it means there was really an election in zimbabwe. this means they have done what nigeria could not do in 40yrs (ahaa we did it once on june 12, 93'. . . just once in 40yrs . . and it was annulled)

well, advice for mugabe . . . instead of harrasing opponents, just rig elections like PDP, i'm sure africans will prefer ''apparent stability under stolen mandate to gross social instability)

HELLO nairalanders,

HOME they say is where the heart is, but for some, anywhere can be home,

can anywhere truly be home, can you truly and honestly feel completely at home in a foreign country , even if u spent so many years living there,

your thoughts are welcome, [b][/b][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][color=#550000][/color]

there you go babygirl, you got the answer. home is not a geographic expression or a physical structure but more of an emotional stuff.

for some peeps, nairaland is home

america resemble charitable organisation for una eye?

what's in it for them? when they see a agin, they'll move. and that is perfectly understandable. i wont blame them.

Kobojunkie:
What about Ikorodu?? Idumota?? Oshodi?? Mile 12?? Palm grove?? Any pictures of those areas??

Then we know if truly it changed

guys pleaaaaaaaaase . . . change has to start somewhere. did you expect him to change the whole lagos overnight? it took decades to destroy lagos to its current state, how much more rebuilding? pls appreciate an effort where you see one. i'm not familiar with lagos but i've heard stories about it. from these photos, there is something that looks good going on. at least we can call it a good start. a thousand miles begin with a . . . . .

haba kobo, i congratulate you, you have succeeded in making me argue/gist/discuss with you after i said to myself no more.

anyway let me say this . . . you highlightes a statement i made where i said i cannot exonerate our leadership in africa , you asked me to get proof of it. now i showed you where i have held african leaders culpable, abi no be wetin you been mean? or what did you mean by i should get proof of the fact that i wont exonerate african leadership

pls kobo, good night (abi good day for US)

all right let me not seem too rude . . . here's for one of the highlighted statements. it shows darfur criticising nigerian leadership as far back as the summer of 2007. it took me 5mins looking for it. 5 mins of my time conscious life. just to please kobo

enjoy

Kobojunkie:
but you did make some comments about me.

so?

mr kobo

the post you are responding to was directed at texazzpete.

keep off.

i think the bottom line is that there is a very low level of patriotism in nigeria. we have to be nigerians who love their country first b4 we can trully put in our best for it. i go to different schools in london and i see students from s. africa, kenya , tanzania even uganda, they have their flags in their rooms, strongly identify with their country even somalis. but our some of our people no go even gree say dem be naijans

e go better one day hoha. but we must work now for the sake of the generations yet unborn. as for our generation . . . nnnnn . . . e don finish already

@texas

anyone who follows my posts will know i don't usually take sides. i hate double standards. i cannot exonerate our leadership in africa. . .and indeed our followership too, from the deplorable state of our motherland. but what i can't take is when somepeople defend western attrocities with such vigour as if the west is "innocent". kobojunkie defends the west like hell. may be not only him, but he is the one i noticed( i'm not usually online for more than 15 mins). his first attack on me was attrocious to say the least(may be why i always notice him) he went for the jugulars without even knowing me. his line. . . . .why have you not spoken out against african evils(not quoting him word for words but that was his attacking message) even my username did not tell him something about me.

i have crossed paths with friends and foes for my opinions. sometimes even painfully. . .especially when i told my igbo brothers that ojukwu was a big disaster in opting for war. i speak out against africans, why wont i speak out against the west, where i'm living now and feeling the pains? why should i defend them. even at that i have defended some western statements like the guy who said nigerians were untruthful. i defended him to the chagrin of my nairlanders. i have even once agreed _{albeit painfully} with kobo

but i'm not a sworn defender of western diplomacy. . . i am darfur

oyibo man de feed am for US so he owe them that service of defending their defenceless actions

well as i now see . . . common sense is no longer common as kolojunkyard has lost his common sense in diaspora

e go better one day for am. hoha

A close look at nairaland will give you an idea of the nigerian character. it is not the kind of character you'll want to give a visa if you were a british immigration officer

hey LadyT
it's me, the one and only darfur

have a great day

because the dead may have died for nothing. that is the reality of 90-99% of all wars. those who died, died for nothing. that war should never have been.

ojukwu should have used maximum diplomacy to get something for igbos when he had the advantage of potential international sympathy and massive military disadvantage

no sensible general would go into a battle with a massive military disadvantage.

it is foolhardiness

jump into the lagoon and swim directly to the ocean if possible.

get a whale to swallow you up like jonah

ask the whale to vommit you in the itu bridge _{if the whale doesnt digest you}

take a walk from itu bridge thru the jungle.

turn right, walk left, look down and go up

ask a leopard to ferry you across the jungle. _{if he is not hungry enough to feed on you}

you'll land right in front of your destination

Kobojunkie:
I look forward to the day we open our eyes in Africa to understand that the root of it all continues to exist right there in our mist.
