What will be the effect of a cooler Africa on Europe and America?

He called Obasanjo. Obasanjo in turn called Yar'Adua, and a deal was sealed. Obasanjo commanded Yar'Adua to call off the invasion. The President promptly complied."

Yar'Adua, who was an under intense pressure to please his benefactor was said to have called the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa.

It was a peeved Aondoakaa who querulously called Mrs Farida Waziri, the EFCC boss, to call off the operation. Her wish was carried out within minutes. The operators, almost apologising to Imoke, left the house and headed back to office.

Garba Ladan, a gardener, saw it all. He told our reporters, "At about Afternoon, the whole of this area was filled with[b] security men[/b]. They were around Imoke's house. I think he has done something bad because they wanted to break into the house."

Yep, keep decieving yourself, when Nigeria kids become as useless as the british kids or the american kids then you would understand. Go to an American high school and see how extremely disrespectful kids are, then you will know what i am talking about.
Asians, on the other hand, know how to discipline there students and it works wonders for them. Morale of the story is another man's cake is another man's poison, realizing this is wisdom. Its not the right thing to imitate other people's livestyles or you would pay for it.

i have a feeling most entrepreneurs will be asking for millionss not one or two million; 20milla gidigba! fear go catch them dragons sef Grin

Isn't that the same reason why i suggest you take them home where your folks will be free to [size=15pt]whip him/her at will?[/size] I mean what's the point in keeping them here, pampering and nurturing them when the chances of them being useless is very very high. There's been cases of high class surgeons that grew up in Ajegunle but you wouldn't want to risk raising your child there b/c the success rate is very low unless you count "gutter sniffing" as success.

Pheww, there we go again with the age thing! Age does not mean wisdom. I'll leave it at that. The sooner Nigerians stop thinking that they're somehow better than western countries, the better for them and Nigeria.
Ofcourse I'll use myself or the people I know as example. I'm not going to say stuff I know nothing about. After all, the poster was focusing on just yoruba folks and not all Nigerians. It's your choice where you choose 2 raise your child. I'm just saying that all this 'we don't do that, we have culture in Nigeria' mentality needs to stop. I've seen worse behaviors displayed by the so-called nigerian-bred kids compared to some American kids. Where one lives is not all that matters but the people around you and the kind of upbringing your parents give you.
You must think that all American or UK-bred kids are rude, which is totally false. You can go to a ghetto school here in d states and still find right-thinking people. Just like I'm sure it is in Nigeria. It's up to a kid to decide who/who not to make friends with depending on the kind of advice/teachings given to the kid at home.
All these parents sending their kids to Nigeria to study while they, the parents remain abroad are all lazy. Just take up your responsibility and teach your child d way to go(it's in d bible) and when s/he grows up, s/he will not depart from it. Instead of depending on a so-called culture, which few people now practice. If this were the olden days, around d time my parents were kids, I would def. agree that Nigeria would be better to raise a kid but not in these times. Nigeria is off the chain right now! I mean, off the chain.

ccording to Beijing Boyce, who has reported his independent findings about the SCMP claims on his blog, this might be just a case of miscommunication. Through his investigations, his sources tell him that bar owners were indeed asked to:

monitor black patrons. He [the bar owner] said the police told the reps that drug dealers are predominantly black in the area. He said the police did not ask bar owners to ban blacks.

As you can imagine, the story has spread like wildfire across blogs as well as more established media outlets. Even Shanghaiist's story was echoed verbatim on a Chinese blog. Not surprisingly though, while news outlets like The Age and Financial Times picked up the story in the context of the Beijing Olympics being "no-fun", latter commentary was less about the likelihood of Africans and Mongolians being turned away from bars but more about the SCMP's journalism.

Jeremy Goldkorn of Danwei comments:

, it seems highly unlikely that anyone with any real authority would "secretly" plan "to ban black people" from the city's bars.

The sources of the South China Morning Post are anonymous, and the paper does not seem to have any physical evidence to support the article.

Liam Fitspatrick from Time (in association with CNN) also recognises that:

The story, by Tom Miller and Peter Simpson, quotes an anonymous bar owner as saying that security officers forced him to sign a pledge that required him to prevent black people from entering his premises. A nameless “black British national” is also quoted, expressing his shock and disappointment.

The anonymity of the sources is also noticed by veteran blogger and China watcher Fons Tuinstra in the China Herald:

The proof of this was pretty flimsy: one anonymous bar-owner at Sanlitun.
I found the article remarkable for two reasons. First, because of its firm anti-China tone, while the South China Morning Post had adopted (as far as I could read them) since 1997 a pro-China tone that would even be considered nauseating by the editors of the China Daily.
Second, it fitted nicely into their old tradition in coming with firm allegations, based on nothing, so they could sell the next day their paper again with a firm denial of a false rumour they had created themselves in the first place.

Blu Malam:
Did i hear someone say "ban made in china" goods?

AND

LMAO! C'mon, get real.

candy:
It's not news that Chinese are very very racist. This story may be a western ploy to make China lose face in Africa, but behind every rumor, there is an element of truth. I have worked closely with Chinese and I have no iota of respect for them because of the impression they have about blacks and the fact that they don't see it as being racist but being careful! The earlier we kick china's ass out of naija market the better for everyone.

Guys this is not about anybody being afriad of anybody

Soludo has been under attack from all those who want to oust him by all means merely because he is doing his job right. Now that they are having difficulties beating him down professionally, they have resolved to misconstrue what Soludo said that was rather an honest economic statement to have ethinic connotations.

And unfortunately people are simply fanning the flames that makes this cladenstine objective worthwhile. The current administration is a northern administration. Pitting Soludo against the North might just be very effective at removing him from office, this is what this is all about.

4. idiot nigerians punching each other on the dxb-los flight (can u imagine that shit – fighting on the plane, and these guys were prolly in their late thirties)

buchulz:
I think has a point. i just got promoted to a position in my unit at work. At the same time, two expertrates ( with certs from foreing universities) were also employed, at the same level (experience & accademic qualifcn) with me. The funny aspect of it is not just that they are understudying me ( ie i train them on what to do) but are paid 20 times what they pay me.
Is this not madness?
