CultureRe: Marriage Btw A Nigerian Girl And An Indian Guy (any Objection)? by davidif: 9:56am On Feb 02, 2009
wow, this union is very remarkable because Indians almost never marry non-indians (i have friends who have been burned by this) , infact, they still do arranged marriages.

Here in yanki, if an indian marries a non-indian it better not be black because to them we are at the bottom of the racial food chain. I once heard on CNN of an Indian family who killed there daughter for marrying a black man (its called honor killing), they would rather marry a white because to them that would be like "marrying up".

woooow, i couldn't believe this could happen, considering how powerful Nkunda is and that even Paul Kagame ( a tutsi himself) ordered the capture of another tutsi. He probably did it to restore his reputation in the world and save face.
PoliticsRe: Do Nigerians Have Any Heroes at All ? by davidif: 9:01am On Jan 24, 2009
mr. poster, its because we are not sentimental like westerners. We don't need humans to inspire us to dream, we just go ahead and do it. I watched the inaguration of Obama and i heard how he has inspired a lot of African Americans and a lot of Americans, in Nigeria its not so because of our unsentimental nature and we are not always blown away by romantic heroes like "Che", or Obama.

PropertiesRe: Will These Home Designs Sell In Nigeria, And Where? by davidif: 7:49am On Jan 24, 2009
mr. larez, your works are awesome, from what i've seen i can say that you will definitely monopolize the market within a couple of years just don't compromise on your quality. By the way son, good for you, you seem to be doing well, i wish you the best in your future endeavors.

I have a serious problem with the 'Big Man' mentality that is embraced by most people with wealth in Nigeria. Architects and Designers don't seem to get much respect here. and most people think providing services is tantamount to being an employee of the client. Mutual respect is a prerequisite for me in doing business with anyone. I have never kissed a** and by the grace of G-D will never have to kiss a**. I have paid my dues and designed for many Multi-millionaires in the U.S. without losing my dignity. It will be rather pathetic to come to Nigeria to be a boot-licker of some La Riche Neuveau who thinks he's a god.
Boy, you hit the message right on the head

This shows how stupid Nigeria is and how extremely incompetent the country is and for those unwise people saying that Ribadu was illegally promoted, you people have extremely low IQ's, the president promoted you to the top so that you could fight corruution, so you wanted him to decline the job. This country is filled with incredibly low IQ people

SportsRe: Nigeria Gives Up Hosting Of Under- 17 World Cup by davidif: 9:36am On Oct 25, 2008
Why did we choose to host this thing in the first place?? We are not a rich country at all (and don't even think that because we have oil makes us rich, Nigeria is only the 7th largest producer of oil in the world, Saudi and Iran produce waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than us).

Now back to what we were saying, how could they chose to host a tournament like this when we have one of the worst public school systems in the world, pathetic health care system that ranks us as having one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. No constant electricity which shatters any hope of becoming an industrialized nation, and the list goes on and on and we are thinking of hosting a tournament for a sport were adults run around kicking a leather ball and falling at a slight push pretending to have a serious injury and minutes later are running full speed like nothing ever happened. Arrant Nonsense.
Foreign AffairsRe: Mccain For President: Say No To Nobama by davidif(op): 9:14am On Oct 25, 2008
@jaybee and savanha
Look son, you don't understand Obama's policies are incredibly wrong. First of all, you don't increase taxes in a recession even though its only meant for those earning above 250,000 dollars (despite the fact that they already shoulder most of the tax burden anyway), instead you cut taxes more, especially corporate taxes and also taxes against small businesses (who we know are the back bone of the american economy). America already has one of the highest corporate taxes in the world at 35%, and that is one of the reasons why a lot of American companies are moving overseas (higher wages is another reason) which is leading to unemployment in America. We can't have this anymore pleeease. McCain is a maverick when it comes to working with the opposition party, the man is known for being a moderate and for working with democrats (who are poised to take over congress in this coming elections). The man is known for being one of the most bipartisan senators in the senate.
For those of you who know very little about economics, let me explain this to you. When you are in a recession, you cut taxes, when you do this, more people have more money in there hands to spend, and with this comes a demand for consumption and with this demand suppliers produce more to catch up with the demand thereby leading to increase in output, productivity and even more jobs. Same goes for businesses, when you cut taxes, you would enable small businesses to grow and wither off which 90% of them already do. Obama's plan to tax businesses more and to tax (punish) wealthy people more despite the fact that they still have to pay local property taxes, capital gains tax, sales taxes, state income taxes (depending on the state) and several other taxes. McCain on the other hand believes in lowering taxes all across the board.
For those of you who don't know especially politically or economically ignorant folks, America is an individualistic country which believes in personal responsibility, capitalism and free markets, not unlike Europe which is more socialist leaning. In Europe, they have some of the highest tax rates in the world, that's why a lot of them migrate to the US. In England, people are almost being punished for being rich by being burdened with almost suffocating tax burdens, please, there is nothing wrong with being rich abeg. Businesses also are being ridiculously taxed. In England businesses are taxed on there expenses, what kind of nonsense is that?? and we wonder why England is now a shadow of its old self, which used to be the pre-eminent super-power of the world. Conventional wisdom says you reduce taxes to encourage consumption which is afterall what makes an economy run. It's this reasoning that makes America by far the most dominant economy in the world (they had a G.D.P of over 16 trillion recently) now compare that to the next largest economy in the world which at the last time i checked was only around 4 trillion and england, the highest of the European countries was around a measly 2 trillion. Look i don't want America to turn to another Scandinavian country where you have almost 48% (yes o 48 shocked shocked) income tax rate.

McCain also has a better plan for handling the economic crisis than Obama, the guy believes in solving the problem from the grass roots rather than a top down approach that obama has supported. McCain wants the fed. govt to buy bad mortgages from Americans while providindg those who could prove they were credit worthy fixed rate mortgage loans from the FHA (federal housing administration). This is the best way to solve the problem.

On foreign policy, Barack Obama wants to pull out of Iraq when its clear that they are probably not ready yet, heck i even have a co-worker who has relatives fighting in Iraq and she told me that they told her that the Iraqis are not prepared to fight when they leave. I say its immoral to bail out on them like that, the last time that happened we know how it all ended (read: Vietnamization). We have to finish and get the job done, if we set a time table for withdrawal which senator obama wants (16 months is what he says), the insurgents would just stop fighting and wait until we are gone and then strike, which means that the army and the govt. would collapse resulting in another pre 9/11 Afghanistan or worse of all, an Iranian dominated Iraq which we can't let happen. McCain said on the first debate, he met a soldier fighting in Iraq and the man told him let us win this war, so that our kids don't come back to fight here again.


SO FOR JOSH BOY SAVANA AND THE OTHERS, instead of talking about why "the black race is a failure" we are talking about something else, the presidential elections, it should not be about skin color, who has the most harvard or columbia degrees, or worst of all, a popularity issue its about who can get the JOB DONE.
