Supporters of terrorism against Israel are quiet about this glaring piece of evidence that nowhere in Gaza free of terrorists.

Therefore it's ideal that Gaza is obliterated not so? Maybe a nuclear bomb once and for all?

RepoMan007:
The structure is 95% responsible but who dares the religiously brainwashed north or their interests? No one wants their cries. It comes with political consequence because they have the numbers.

The religiously brainwashed north was there in 2015 and we were doing well. The sort of bad government introduced since then is worse than criminal, it is satanic.

Every one is interested in money and assets...

It's because of "material things, money and assets" that e:uropeans left their continent to attack, steal "material things" of other people and kill other people on other continents and use the resources of other continents to grow their own continent.

Life is not deeper than that..

Your life, your choice. See?

In my opinion pretty shallow and narrow minded though.

The last line is so shallow it is painful to read.

What is painful is that the govt is not acting with any sense of urgency or emergency.

How does winning AFCON translate into us losing focus on the current realities in Nigeria?
Football or no football, we all know what's going on in the country.

There is such a thing as political psychology and the leveraging of small wins. I can't say more than this, if you understand, you understand, if you don't, you don't. I personally understand. And if you have read Animal Farm by George Orwell, you should also get it.

I sha pray we win.

So how will Nigeria losing the match make the country better??
You think it's the matches that the Eagles have been winning that made Nigeria to be a mess right now??
Some of you lots no dey use your brain at all, shior. 🙄

Put in the work and rise, there'll never be a need for you to say such a thing again.

His life, his choice, and a valid one too. Material things are material things. Not everyone is interested in money, fame, assets, etc. Life is deeper than that.

Sincerely I don't really care if Ivory coast win Nigeria as long as it's not South Africa or Ghana I am fine

What is it with SA and Ghana?
As far as I am concerned, Nigeria's most bitter rival has always been Cameroon.

Lionessza6:


Are you sure you're Nigerian? You're one of the few people on this forum with your kind of brain power.

Very very very Nigerian, my good friend!
And do not be deceived by some of the puerile nonsense you read here - Nigeria is a nation of endowed intellectuals.

He still doesn't get that the MAGA campaign is a campaign targetted at his kind . Trump's supporters are looking for a super hero who will defy globalisation and focus on American issues and ofcourse stop the inflow of migrants. He doesn't see that once those supporters lose hope and feel that Trump is taking them for a ride (if elected again), then all hell will break loose. Random attacks from mobs will be on the rise. USA with it's already weak race relations will make SA xenophobic attacks look like a party . I've been watching the anti-immigrant riots in Ireland as well.....shyt is getting serious over there very quickly ...

He doesn't get it at all. His position on Trump and SA are directly contradictory. It reminds me of a quote I love very much -

“But the new rebel is a skeptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. . . . As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time. A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. . . . The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite skeptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines. In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.”

Lionessza6:
Exactly.

Btw, I'm curious....why do you think the Democrats and ofcourse similar parties in Europe are pushing for massive migration into their countries. This is obviously very upsetting to the regular citizen, but those in positions of power globally seem to have this obsession with bringing in as many migrants as possible to the point that it looks like they're getting the orders from somewhere else .For instance, recently in states like Chicago illegals who were bussed in by Texas governors into the Northrn states have had their rents ,transport etc paid for by the states . This is ofcourse when homelessness, drug use , poverty is growing among their citizens.....what do you think is the end game here? Because this provocation will surely give birth to something big, I can spot the signs .

In the US, its politics. Such migrants generally boost the end game for Democrats.

In places like Germany where the empathy of Merkel pushed a lot of migration for a generation, that is being rolled back gradually.

But in spite of myself (I support free movement) I have repeatedly warned that Europe has to beware of its burgeoning Muslim population. Otherwise a day will come when the fundamental liberties so cherished in Europe will be banished by an Islamic majority.

Lionessza6:
I think lack of exposure to real racism is the problem here. They think someone must physically or verbally attack you to make your life miserable.... they don't seem to understand that real racism is rooted in power; economics , politics, law, Education etc.

That's why conservatives generally hate CRT (Critical Race Theory)

Lionessza6:
Exactly . That's why we should be left alone in our slavery . The rest of the free blacks must stay away from us and enjoy each other's non-racial and non-xenophobic countries...why is this so hard ? .

Heaven forbid, you want to keep me away from Montecasino. You can only dream. Lai lai.

tctrills:
What are you talking about? Trump never condemned legal Immigration. Please stick to what we all know and forget the conspiracy theories
As for South Africa, let me say it again, They have lost all moral standing. Now it makes no sense. And if the only reason for supporting Palestine is because of some old pact, it's still hypocrisy. And thanks for your time. Let's pray for peace on earth.

Shalom.
Bless bro.

Lionessza6:
LMFAO. So naive....it's almost childlike . Thomas Jefferson also wrote " All men are created equal " in his declaration of independence but he kept his slaves by his side while writing that and long after . I'm sure he loved blacks more than they loved themselves because he wrote those inspirational words .

Gbam! Thank you!

tctrills:
You are the one inwardly conflicted. I fully understand my position. Why will any country want illegal immigrants? I built a wall around my house so I perfectly understand that walls keep out Illigals. Trump never condemned legal immigrants. I hope you understand the difference. Your South African friends were murdering legal immigrants. If you can't see the difference then I don't know what else to tell you, sir

It is not true that they are against only illegal immigrants. That is what they will say but any serious observer knows that the immigration debate not just in the USA but also across Europe is beyond legality. It is more about policy and the desirability of having less rather than more immigrants - whether legal or not. And people like Trump in particular have been well recorded with their many racist statements against the peoples of other countries - "shithole" countries according to him. Who only bedevil them with "rapists" - in his generalization of Mexican immigrants for example.

But seriously - as I said - its not about legality - at a policy level many conservatives in Europe and North America want less immigrants, period.

Now, I am tired of discussing Xenophobia in SA. It is real. And it is bad. And I condemn it.

However the simple point is this. SA does not simply set out randomly to support Palestine. There is a particular history there and it rests in the apartheid history of SA. That special and spiritual link has existed right from the patriarchs' of the Apartheid struggle, such as Mandela and Bishop Tutu.

I cant say more than this. I will drop the discussion at this point.
Have a good evening and thanks for your time.

tctrills:
Good, I love your answer. Now wouldn't you laugh if you heard that Nigeria is fighting against corruption in let's say Togo? It makes no sense.
You don't treat people from other countries like shit and then cry loudest because you claim that Israel is treating people from Palestine like shit. It does not matter if it's your policy or just your culture. You need to first take care of yourself before addressing others. Almost any other country would have been in a better position to address the Israel/Palestine conflict, not South Africa.

What you say here would be fair enough if apartheid never existed in SA, which formed the root of SA's historical support for Palestine on account that they could identify with their travails. You seem to continuously dismiss this factor and thats unhelpful because its actually the centre of the matter. Xenophobia in SA is recent compared to the ANC's historical support for Palestine on the ground of Apartheid.

tctrills:
I have addressed your last comments in my initial post but this is a follow-up. Before Trump became a politician, he was the darling of the blacks. His name was in rap songs, he appeared in their movies, and was a friend to the community. Then he joined politics and people like you branded him a racist. Very unfair

It just occurred to me how strange it is for you to support a wall-building anti-immigration Trump and at the same time condemn xenophobia in South Africa.

You are inwardly conflicted.

tctrills:
Now state policy is clearly dictated by culture.
Now do you agree with the UN report that discrimination against foreign nationals in South Africa has been institutionalised both in government policy and broader South African society?
https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/07/south-africa-un-experts-condemn-xenophobic-violence-and-racial

Okay, thank you for this report. However, saying that Xenophobia has become institutionalized in government in SA is different from saying that it is official state policy. Corruption is institutionalized in government in Nigeria, but it is not official state policy, is it? Now, does the fact that Nigeria is overwhelmingly corrupt, has a culture of corruption, and has corruption insidious in government mean that the Nigerian State should not take up a state policy against corruption?

All the more, it should, and yes even abroad too.

tctrills:
First you are yet to show how the US is racist.

Please note my words carefully. I did not say the USA is racist. I said it is a hotbed of racism.

Again, as for Trump, please mention his act of racism. But before you do, here are some things the trump presidency did for blacks.

Looks like you are a Trumpist. Well let's leave it then. Trump supporters can hardly be convinced of any wrong he has done. Let's forget him on this discussion.

Now xenophobia may not be south African policy but it's more dangerous, it's south African culture.

Well, State Policy is not dictated by mob culture.

tctrills:
The most respected king in south Africa supports xenophobia. A majority of it's people support xenophobia. Members of government have openly supported xenophobia and nothing happened to them
Nigerians are safer in the US your so called capital of racism and in Italy the world's mafia headquarters than in South Africa.
We evaluate our citizens in planes.
So your comparisons don't cut it.
A country known for treating others like shit should not be fighting for people it claims are being treated like shit.

Contrary to what you said, the USA is a hotbed of racism. And if you mention "a respected king in South Africa" - so what? SA has no King. We have very tribalistic traditional rulers here in Lagos. We can remember what the Oba of Lagos said about Igbos and the Lagos Lagoon. Besides what would you say of the attitude of someone like Trump in the USA.

I truly cant keep going round in circles.
State policy is not mob opinion.

Apatheid in SA started the same year Europe and US created a state of Israel as a solution to it's Jewish problem

Therefore. . . . . ?

tctrills:
First, the USA is one of the least racist countries in the world. Very wrong comparison. I have lived there so I know. The US remains the first majority-white country to elect a nonwhite president. The US is among the first 5 countries on earth to ban slavery and the only country that fought a civil war to end it.
In the US, blacks and whites have the very same rights and privileges. In fact, blacks have more privileges than whites. So please use another example not the USA

I disagree that the USA is one of the least racist countries in the world. However that is not important. Apply the principle laid out in my analogy using any other country and any other problem and you will see that the principle remains the same.

For example, that Italy is the capital of the the mafia does not mean that Italy cannot oppose gangsterism at the level of state policy. That Colombia is the capital of illicit narcotics does not mean it cannot oppose same at the level of state policy. In fact and in truth it only means that it should more strenuously oppose such at the level of state policy.

I hope you understand. I can't continue going round in circles.

tctrills:
Let me ask you a question. How would you feel if the leader of an armed robbery gang is leading the protest against kidnapping?
Would you take him serious?
That's how I feel when the world's capital of xenophobia is leading the so called protest against apartheid.

Well just remember that we are discussing state policy here. Xenophobia is not state policy in SA - rather there happens to be a xenophobic mob available there, just as there is a racist mob available in the USA for example. Now would you say that the USA should not, on that account, take up a fight against racism anywhere in the world - at the level of state policy - simply because there is a lot of racism in the USA?

Lionessza6:
LMFAO. I'm happy it was worth your response though ......very smart of you

That chap appears illiterate to me.

Winnin009:
lol. What a clown. Well, I have two things to say to you.

1: the nubians are pretty much the earliest civilization. Originated from the river Nile. Even before Egypt was born. Please, read ehn. Don’t use headlines or singular articles to judge.

As far as earliest civilization, I would elect Sumeria over Nubia.

You made the erroneous claim that Egypt was originally black. I showed you the only period it was ruled by blacks. And this is what you come back with?

2: Before israel, there was Canaan. The fact that you think this issue is something that started as recently as two years ago shows how little you about this. The lands of Canaan(later renamed Israel) were plenty and the heathens through conquest, got some of the lands. Several of the nations surrounding Israel today belongs to Israel originally. You would know if you took your time to read the news and not argue with your half brained friends at a beer parlor.

Just read my bro.

This is so upside down its painful to read. That you dont even know that Canaan was a land that Israel migrated to - invading and seizing from its occupants - is just pathetic considering you are the one mentioning the matter of Canaan.

A person like you cant ask one like me to read. You just can't.

Good luck.

tctrills:
You qouted from Desmond Tutu to prove what really?
Is it to show that South Africa is not the world's capital of xenophobia or are you saying that anything Tutu says must be right?
Please explain your point here because I am not sure what you are attempting to prove.

South Africa's leaders - right from the apartheid days - have seen the suffering of the Palestinians as a parallel of their own experience.
