SocialJustice:Ah ahn. You must tell me what is in that Oshogbo. |
Kukutente23:Incorrigible. Just when I was putting together a package for your welfare and treatement. |
Kukutente23:I hope you are having a good week my son. |
Kukutente23:Amazing. So as far back as then there was movement of people and ideas between India and Arabia. Good to know. Because I have a friend who says that people dont ever move, or rather they only started moving in the 20th century. |
tivity101:Dont mind them, their state is poverty stricken. A mere 110 billion and they are crying. |
maasoap:On the second line, fair enough, but influence pass influence oh. They can take from all and still do the small favor for one in particular. After all delegates do same at primaries. Besides, an Obi may not even give at all. I truly agree with the last line. Perfectly on point. You dont split up like that and expect to win. When APC overthrew a sitting president, about five parties had to join hands (including nPDP - Five renegade PDP Governors). Thats how to present a serious fight to a sitting president. If they dont unite in 2027, I will know they are not interested in any presidency. |
maasoap:You cant say money didnt play a part just because of what you cited oh. There are levels. Nothings will stop a candidate from transferring millions of dollars to an INEC official for a "small favour" for example. |
nairalanda1, dont you think N500k per bag of rice would be more realistic for the growth of the economy and prosperity of Nigeria? |
GloriousGbola:I just can't trust these people. Remember the factor of sabotage and corruption. Why has it taken so many years of repeated theft for "professionals" to be brought in. My brother it sounds hollow. I know this country well enough to know that major infrastructure is deliberately sabotaged in order to fix it again and again. It's not an accident. It's a scheme. I know it first hand. It's done in power, it's done with roads, and believe me, these refineries have been the biggest case of it. So unless you think that deliberate aspect of sabotage will suddenly cease, I am willing to bet that thing can't run for one year straight without TAM being required for another five years again. |
GloriousGbola:The thing that may still collapse shortly as per naija things. |
madridguy:Someone like you will also say the children released recently for EndBadGovernance participation are coupists, terrorists and were planning to assasinate the president. |
Rule Number 1 - What goes up in Nigeria never comes down |
INTEGRITYA1:And doesnt look like the so called Eco will ever see the light of day. |
NO IMPORT DEPENDENT ECONOMY SHOULD EVERY TRY IT, PERDIOD. |
What about Lagos - Calabar Expessway, was there any appropriation? Nope. |
Hahahahahhahahaha! This decrepit bastard simply means he will not rest untill half of us have died from hunger. Nothing can stop the next round of fuel price hikes he plans very soon. Sick fool. |
Kukutente23:Are you telling me the Egyptians didnt know the River Nile? And the Songhai didnt know the River Niger. Your list of statements today has to be collated and taken to a Musuem of Stupidity. |
Kukutente23:Denying population movement is as bad as denying the existence of the solar system. It is that illiterate. I will leave this with you. But I know you will only have epileptic seizures fooling yourself. Its as bad as denying that conquests and colonialism happened for heaven's sake! \What sane person can do that ? ? ? By 2000 years ago humans had established settlements in most of the Pacific Islands. Major population-movements notably include those postulated as associated with the Neolithic Revolution and with Indo-European expansion. The Early Medieval Great Migrations including Turkic expansion have left significant traces. In some places, such as Turkey and Azerbaijan, there was a substantial cultural transformation after the migration of relatively small elite populations.[8] Historians see elite-migration parallels in the Roman and Norman conquests of Britain, while "the most hotly debated of all the British cultural transitions is the role of migration in the relatively sudden and drastic change from Romano-Britain to Anglo-Saxon Britain", which may be explained by a possible "substantial migration of Anglo-Saxon Y chromosomes into England (contributing 50–100% to the gene pool at that time) |
Kukutente23:Is this not a silly concession of everything you have been saying? If the Egyptians never reached Lake Victoria, why must the Songhai Empire have reached the Nigeria Delta? It is, therefore, silly to claim either empire did not sufficiently know either river before any white man came to help them "discover" it. Simply put, your statement that the River Niger was discovered in the 1800s is illiterate. |
Kukutente23:Bewildering. Nonsenical. Anti-Intellectual. Does the point simply miss you that at all events, Mansa Musa or not, movement was just natural and inevitable? Besides, I repeat: the question was always the possibility of an indiviual having foreign ancestors. An individual, I repeat, an individual. And denying that is just madness. But I have learnt that you are an out and out lunatic who can probably deny that the Earth is a Sphere. You have already denied worse. However I dont think you have heard me say that Jesus was a myth. I leave you with this image of the Songhai Empire. If you imagine that an empire that covered that much length of the River Niger needed to wait for Mungo Park to "discover" it, you must be drunk. You will still have to answer if the Egyptians ever reached the source of the Nile.

Kukutente23:Did the Egyptians reach the source of the Nile - Lake Victoria. Yes or no, no long thing. |
Musa was a Muslim, and his hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, made him well known across North Africa and the Middle East. To Musa, Islam was "an entry into the cultured world of the Eastern Mediterranean".[46] He would have spent much time fostering the growth of the religion within his empire. When Musa departed Mali for the Hajj, he left his son Muhammad to rule in his absence.[47] Musa made his pilgrimage between 1324 and 1325, spanning 2700 miles.[48][49][50] His procession reportedly included upwards of 12,000 slaves, all wearing brocade and Yemeni silk[51] who each carried 1.8 kg (4 lb) of gold bars, and heralds dressed in silks bearing gold staffs organized horses and handled bags. Musa provided all necessities for the procession, feeding the entire company of men and animals.[46] Those animals included 80 camels, which each carried 23–136 kg (50–300 lb) of gold dust. Musa gave the gold to the poor he met along his route. Musa not only gave to the cities he passed on the way to Mecca, including Cairo and Medina, but also traded gold for souvenirs. It was reported that he built a mosque every Friday.[33] Shihab al-Din al-'Umari, who visited Cairo shortly after Musa's pilgrimage to Mecca, noted that it was "a lavish display of power, wealth, and unprecedented by its size and pageantry".[52] Musa made a major point of showing off his nation's wealth. Musa and his entourage arrived at the outskirts of Cairo in July 1324. They camped for three days by the Pyramids of Giza before crossing the Nile into Cairo on 19 July.[j][53][54] While in Cairo, Musa met with the Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, whose reign had already seen one mansa, Sakura, make the Hajj. Al-Nasir expected Musa to prostrate himself before him, which Musa initially refused to do. When he did finally bow, he said he was doing so for God alone.[55] Despite this initial awkwardness, the two rulers got along well and exchanged gifts. Musa and his entourage gave and spent freely while in Cairo. Musa stayed in the Qarafa district of Cairo and befriended its governor, ibn Amir Hajib, who learned much about Mali from him. Musa stayed in Cairo for three months, departing on 18 October[k] with the official caravan to Mecca. Musa's generosity continued as he traveled onward to Mecca, and he gave gifts to fellow pilgrims and the people of Medina and Mecca. While in Mecca, conflict broke out between a group of Malian pilgrims and a group of Turkic pilgrims in the Masjid al-Haram. Swords were drawn, but before the situation escalated further, Musa persuaded his men to back down.[57] Musa and his entourage lingered in Mecca after the last day of the Hajj. Traveling separately from the main caravan, their return journey to Cairo was struck by catastrophe. By the time they reached Suez, many of the Malian pilgrims had died of cold, starvation, or bandit raids, and they had lost many of their supplies.[58][59] Having run out of money, Musa and his entourage were forced to borrow money and resell much of what they had purchased while in Cairo before the Hajj, and Musa went into debt to several merchants such as Siraj al-Din. However, Al-Nasir Muhammad returned Musa's earlier show of generosity with gifts of his own.[60] On his return journey, Musa met the Andalusi poet Abu Ishaq al-Sahili, whose eloquence and knowledge of jurisprudence impressed him, and whom he convinced to travel with him to Mali.[61] Other scholars Musa brought to Mali included Maliki jurists.[62] Kukutente23 - The bold parts refer. So much for "movement of populations is a farce!" Mind you, this was not long after the Mongols had been fighting around the Arab regions and even attacked Egypt. So, if you are omniscient enough to declare that there could have been no intercourse whatsoever, I certainly am not. But throught this discussion, you have never understood that even the Mongols / British etc are just analogies. The point remains that anyone can have strange and unlikely foreign ancestors from very far away. |
Kukutente23:You miss the point here. I dont imagine that CRT Scholars will tell you that there are no biological elements of race. That is not even a matter for such Scholars but for biologists. But even at that any biological factors are surface deep. Hair. Skin. Eye color, etc. But thats beside the point. What they mean, and what you should understand, is that the social, economic and institutional factors are what have set the real barriers in the United States in particular - but more importantly - that those barriers have economic consequences. It is a subtle nuance which you type too fast and think too little to grasp. Overall there is no way they could mean it in the biolgical sense and even still use the words "white" or "black". . . worse, it would be meanigless to say those demographics are not real (in any sense that is tangible) and then have any basis to continue any analysis. They are telling you of the structures of privilege - particularly inherited privilege over generations, and inherited poverty over generations that seggregate the USA along racial lines on account of its racist history. Meanwhile Muhammad was known to be a rapist, racist who kept black slaves and a murderer. You do not have a problem with him even as millions of blacks venerate him but Trump is your headacheI have every problem with him as you know. |
Kukutente23:You dont have to outrightly lie. This is your exact statement: Kukutente23:Your exact words, not mine. Stupid words which will live in infamy. Also it is worthy of note that this discussion started with the possibility of an individual having a foreign ancestor from a far off land. Bear that in mind in your duplicity. And that possibility cannot be denied. I asked you if there could be those here who have white ancestors. You went numb. I mentioned the journey of Mansa Musa with a caravan of thusands to Arabia - and whether no interbreeding woould thereby occur. You went bland. Do you think they were Dominican Monks? That is a lie. Even till today, throughout the length of the Niger River, there are different names given to it by the locals close to it. If they knew its source and termination point, they would not have given it different names. It is same River Niger that is called Jebba river in Niger state and also called Argungu river in Kebbi. No African knew of the Atlantic Ocean till it was crossed by Columbus. If you doubt me, mention the local name of Atlantic Ocean in Yoruba and Ijaw.Oh wait oh. So a River is unknown because tribes along its banks have different names for it? Well done. So the Atlantic was unknown while the Portuguese were sailing it to reach deep Africa? Simply because they had not reached one of its coasts on another side does not mean they did not know it, dont be stupid. No different from saying that the Egyptians of old did not know the River Nile since they did not reach Lake Victoria! Nice! Very soon you will tell me the Nile was discovered by one white man since the tribes along its banks had different names for it! How stupid! Your argument also amounts to saying whoever first reached Antartica discovered planet Earth. I see how you have conveniently left out the influence of religion on slavery. Muhammad was a slave owner. You have nothing to say about him. You probably venerate him I suspectYou know already that I describe Muhammad as an illiterate mass murderer, rapist and caravan robber. |
Kukutente23:Please distinguish between these statements - 1. There are no races. 2. There are no races in the real sense. Which is a worse statement? What is a "real sense?" |
Kukutente23:It is tiresome when people change what is said repeatedly. YOU said movement of populations is a farce. Once asked how Europeans got to America and Australia you start talking about who they met there. Thats not what was said. What was said is movement of population is real. But you said its a farce. Do try to run away from it: no one asked you who they met there - or whether it was blacks. The question was how they got there? By moving, or standing in one place? Simple. Which is it? No escape, noy. So why didn't Mansa Musa get to the Niger Delta since he toured along the River Niger. You don't know jack. You sound like a nincompoop. The shonghai empire did not know the start and end of River Niger. So also all the tribes along the river. Learn history boy.There you go again. You said The the River Niger was only discovered in the 1800s. Once shown that people knew well of it and an large empire even existed on its banks long before that, you now ask why one man did not go to the Niger Delta. Was that the question? When you goof, you turn and run. What you have said it like saying no one knew of the Atlantic Ocean until it was crossed by Columbus. Daft. |
Kukutente23:This is not CRT. I knew you didnt know what CRT says. I knew it from the start. In fact you just wrote a far opposite of any possible definition of CRT. Now I know who I am talking to and the level of sheer ignorance. You need to understand that it is not possible for CRT to say that race does not exist and then lament the fortunes of a particular race it is more subtle than that. The issues are the frameworks that produce the economic outcomes for varying groups. And the existence of those social frameworks are undeniable. It is far too simplistic to say that CRT says there are no races. In saying so, you will probably claim that CRT says no white people exist! No wonder you would deny simple facts of life such as movement of populations. Good luck. |
doffman:How is this different from what they complain of - that muslim apostates are sentenced to death. |
doffman:I have rarely been so shocked with the idiocy I am hearing. The boy says - 1. Populations dont migrate 2. River Niger was only discovered in the 1800s (So somelike Mansa Musa of the 14th century would not know it, in his mind) 3. Races cannot procreate 4. No one can have an ancestor from another race As in, please tell me I am not reading well? Because this one is too much. He must be writing from Yaba-Left. |
Kukutente23:Misquoting me will not make me interested in your ranting. Go and read what I wrote. If you find the word "borders" there, kill yourself. Africans are not genetically diverse anything. At least not black Africans. That is the imagination of wokeism.It is as much a scientific fact as any other. Movement of population is a farce.Oh populations dont move abi? Wait a minute, how did Europeans get to America and Australia? Such a clown. I wonder why I bother. Even small River Niger here was not discovered until the 1800s.By who, Mungo Park? ? ? ? ? ![]() So those who lived in the Songhai Empire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songhai_Empire - - - or someone like Mansa Musa did not know it? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa Oh, he made a pilgrimage to Arabia in the 1300s with so much gold that it crashed gold in Egypt when he passed through/. And peoples do not move? What do you eat, sand? Because you must be a chickenhead. I guess he knew nothing of the River Niger as he travelled and also that the thousands of men who followed him didnt touch any women there. To say you are stupid is an understatement. With everything you write you show yourself to be one of the most stupid posters I have ever read from. CRT is a fake theory. Races exist and phobia for one another is really embedded in humans. The same South Africans are showing Nigerians that now.I repeat, define CRT please. In one line. That will be the end of your pride, because you dare not define it. And you cant discuss what you cant define. Each time you allude to something that has nothing to do with it. You probably think CRT is racism simpliciter. |
Kukutente23:But European Settler Imperialist COLONIALIST Jews are still relying on the words of Yaweh today to grab land and practice genocide, racism and apartheid |
