mr hunter,
he's just hitting you with the argument made by fraudsters. a lot of guys out there like to yak about how its some sort of revenge for colonialism ,or slavery, and all those other nasty things that , well, your ancestors did to us africans over the centuries .

better wake up from your sleep and see where your priorities are ,this kind of mentality will keep us behind other nations all the time unless we change .

nyabinghi:
Nigerians are a bunch of soccers, u so called christians don't even understand christianity. i feel real christianity doesn't condone exposure of cleavages and private parts but the latter day churches seem to tolerate exposures. A guy on this thread made reference to the riot wrt miss world pageant that took place then, does christianity support exposures, i want to know. Moreover most riots are started by almajiris who ain't educated, so stop your bigotry guys.

my friend, almajiris do not wake up in the morning and start killing or destroying things ,its your hypocritical ulamas that instigate them ,so stop blaming the wrong ones .how does an illitrate almajiri know what is happening in Iraq or Denmark ?

ok around December last year i converted to Hindu and our official language in new religion is Hindi,so i demand that Hindi should be on the naira cos as a Nigerian i have stake there ,
also my junior brother last month converted to jewish religion ,and their official language there is Hebrew ,he also is asking that his religious language be written on the naira notes .
even my angry father who objected to his sons new faith is asking that as a roman catholic,Latin should be written on the naira notes i hope that adegbute and the sultan would not object to our request in the spirit of one Nigeria

and the idiot went on to say there is no power interruptions in nairobi ;

WSF coverage: Internet and power cuts derail publicity for the World Social Forum
By Brenda Zulu writing from NAIROBI, Kenya • 25/01/2007 10:01 • [Access] (0 Comments)
The frequent power cuts and lack of internet has affected the coverage of the seventh edition of the World Social Forum (WSF). The following are voices of journalists on the ground at the Kasarani Media Centre, in Nairobi.

Saidou Djbril from Niger
I work for a news agency and my work has been affected very much since I must send stories every day but I have not been able to send my reports. Yesterday I sent stories as a letter and when we had the so called internet here at the media centre, it was slow and I have not been able to send my pictures.

Anna Morin from Sweden
I work for a website and I really need internet for my work. My pictures have not been sent out yet, though I managed to send some text from the hotel.

Christelle Terreblanchi from South Africa
I have not filed any story yet and I think they will fire me. I could not even file from the hotel because there were power cuts on three occasions. I loved the linux desktop although it was new to me. It’s very simple but keyboards are in French. It is unfortunate to struggle so much with the hardware when there are so many things to cover at any given time.

Camille Bauer from France
I work for a French daily newspaper and internet is really essential for journalists if they are to cover such a big event. Last time I sent stories, I sent them from a hotel.

Julien Babin from Canada
Internet is absolutely essential to my work. A few minutes before it was cut off I had managed to send my work. My only luck is that I don’t work for a daily newspaper. It is frustrating and kind of a waste of resources because I can imagine the organisers of the World Social Forum (WSF) have spent a lot of money on setting up the media centre, filled with a lot of computers.

Jacob Otieno from Kenya
It is sad that people spent a lot of money on being registered for press accreditation, in order to use the facilities of the Media Centre at Kasarani, of which nothing is working.

Kariuki Muburi form Kenya, IT Volunteer
I think the problem is the service providers. I think it is Kenya Data Network (KDN) but am not sure and the problem is being worked on and I hope the situation improves.
As a volunteer this is one of the biggest projects I have ever been part of and it is a challenge. The wireless access is also down because the main one is down.
The only wireless network at the moment is for people using the Celtel GPRS.

and the idiot said its more humane city than lagos; humane city my ass

KENYA: Feature - rent crisis in Nairobi slums

NAIROBI, 6 August 2002 (IRIN) - The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) says rents in the slum areas of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi - where as many as 2 million people, or 60 percent of the city's population, live - are "exorbitant" and "exploitative".

"When we talk about high rents, from a service standpoint, they are too high," Chris Williams, policy coordinator at HABITAT's Shelter Branch, told IRIN.

Much of the land on which the slums have been constructed is publicly owned and has been illegally "distributed" or appropriated. This means that landlords are not legally obliged to provide any services - which results in no latrines or water, no electricity, no rubbish collection, no infrastructure, totally inadequate housing, no repairs or maintenance, and open sewers with stinking, raw sewage floating about.

Costs are cut to a minimum by the landlords, while the tenants - who constitute about 80 percent of slum inhabitants - are in a weak bargaining position because of desperately low incomes.

In a working document entitled "A Rapid Economic Appraisal of Rents in Slums and Informal Settlements", HABITAT reported that "apart from limited access to water sources, residents of informal settlements are not provided with basic services and infrastructure by urban authorities".

Nairobi City Council officials argue that they are unable to cope with the rapid growth of the city. "One hundred thousand people are leaving rural poverty every year to come to Nairobi. The economy is not able to give them employment, so they become a problem of the city. Nairobi is taking the burden of the entire national economy," Patrick Odongo of the city planning department told IRIN. "Many of these people cannot pay for the services they are demanding."

But others accuse the Council of mismanagement of funds. "Nairobi City Council has a budget to provide services, and people employed to do it, but they don't - they're just corrupt. Nongovernmental agencies and community groups are the only ones who do anything. The Council members don't mind too much about the slums, because they think they shouldn't be there in the first place," Christine Akinyi of Slums Information Development and Resource Centres, a local nongovernmental agency, told IRIN.

Meanwhile, the slum landlords make "hefty profits at the expense of the poor", says HABITAT. Studies have shown that landlords' annual capital income returns for their investment in slum houses reach as high as 142 percent. Many of them also live in affluent and influential middle- and high-income groups within Kenyan society. In 2000, a study done at the University of Nairobi found that of 120 landlords interviewed, 57 percent were either government officers or politicians, HABITAT reported.

LIVING CONDITIONS

About 90 percent of slum houses were single rooms measuring between nine and 14 square metres in area, and housed between three and five people, HABITAT reported. Most structures had leaking roofs, poorly finished mud floors, mud walls, and some had no windows or secure doors.

Where toilets or pit-latrines were available, they often consisted of holes large enough for children to fall into. "Mothers have to adopt the wrap-and-throw method of excreta disposal for children, which in turn jeopardises the limited spaces available for dumping and playing grounds," HABITAT said.

"Toilets are supposed to be provided by the City Council, but they don't, so it's up to the nongovernmental organisations and community groups," said Akinyi. In the Majengo slum area, about 1,000 households, each with an average of about six people, had the use of 12 latrines, which were maintained by a local youth group for 50 shillings per household per month, she added.

"Most people pay about 1,000 shillings [US $13] per month in rent for a basic room, which typically houses at least six people. About 5 percent in Majengo can afford electricity, water and a toilet - that costs 1,500 or 2,000 shillings."

Overcrowding is a massive problem, as well as competition for houses. A Kenya government population census conducted in 1999 found as many as 82,000 people living within an area of less than one square kilometre in some settlements, HABITAT reported. Those who default on rent payments regularly come home to find a new lock on their dwelling, with their children and belongings thrown outside. "They evict you because so many others want the house," said Akinyi.

FACTORS LEADING TO HIGH RENTS

A number of factors contribute to keeping rents high, including bribes, which are paid to officials, the "high risk" associated with constructing houses on illegally appropriated land, and absentee landlords using "agents" and militia groups to collect rents and evict people.

Those who work in Nairobi's slums say corruption among central government officials, Nairobi City Council workers, civil servants, provincial administration officials, and local chiefs perpetuates the situation. "Everyone is benefiting from kickbacks, except the urban poor," said Williams of HABITAT.

"Everyone's making money out of the slums - it's very difficult to say how much," added Akinyi.

Each time improvements or construction takes place, the local administrator or chief had to receive payment so that work could be sanctioned, HABITAT reported. Payments range from 18,000 shillings in more "favourable" locations in the Kibera area, to between 3,000 and 4,000 shillings in Mukuru or Korogocho. In Kibera, structure owners "admitted to paying money to local administrators, politicians or wealthy businessmen to get the plot on which to build," HABITAT said.

Nairobi's deputy mayor, Joe Aketch, told IRIN that the Council "is not as corrupt as people are alleging". Given the financial constraints that City Hall was facing, in terms of Nairobi citizens not paying their dues and an oversized workforce of 22,000 people, the Council was doing "much better" than before, he said.

"The City Council has been given a bad name. We're not corrupt, we're doing the best we can - if individuals are corrupt that's a different story." He added that 200 million shillings had been allocated by the Council to improvement projects (footbridges, libraries, drainage, etc) chosen by communities living in slum areas.

THE CASE OF KIBERA

The Kibera area of Nairobi is the site of sub-Saharan Africa's largest slum, with an estimated population of between 500,000 and 750,000. It was also the most expensive slum area to live in, reported HABITAT, due to a number of factors, including proximity to the city's industrial and central areas, and relative security in parts. "It is a very diverse socioeconomic place," said Williams, "where about 60 percent of people have formal wages."

In late November and early December 2001, violence - triggered by a feud between landlords and tenants over rents - rocked the area. Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi visited Kibera in October and directed the provincial administration to explore ways of making landlords cut their rents. Fighting ensued, which resulted in the deaths of at least 12 people, the displacement of an estimated 3,000, and rendered many others homeless. Women's groups also accused police officers and rioters of perpetrating rapes, a charge which the Nairobi police denied.

REGULARISATION OF NAIROBI'S SLUMS

A number of key issues must urgently be addressed by Kenyan officials and landlords operating in slum areas, says Chris Williams of HABITAT.

These issues comprise the need for the Kenyan government to introduce a national policy on slum upgrading; the regularisation of land allocation procedures and prevention of irregular allocations; the provision by landlords of guaranteed security of tenure for slum dwellers; the introduction of laws to prevent the construction of slum houses lacking basic amenities such as access to water and latrines; and the recognition by government of the citizenship and attendant rights of Nairobi's slum dwellers.

HABITAT also called for the stabilisation of rental markets, noting that if the Kenyan Rent Restriction Act was applied effectively to informal settlements, rents in slums would fall by 70 percent. Williams cautioned against lowering rents at the expense of the provision of services, however. In order to improve the quality of life of slum dwellers, rent prices must be stabilised and the provision of basic services rendered mandatory, he said.

With the prospect of Nairobi city doubling in size in the next 15 to 20 years, it was imperative that structures were put in place to protect the city's population, Akinyi said. "There's always the danger of Kibera happening again. When it reaches a point where there are serious problems, it can explode. There's a good chance it will happen again," she warned.

thats is Nairobi for you , yet this biggest idiot says its paradise compared with Lagos

nairobi paradise compared to lagos ? better get off that crack

ok people ,i think the sultan is a rather sensible man ,the fact that he asked question about why it was removed is not a bad thing ,i was actually angry when i read that he demanded that it be restored ,so from the following article it seems that the sultan is a wise man after all .
however its some university don for that matter despite his educational background that is trying to make trouble now ,read full details below and mark the words in red ,they are where its said that the sultan had accepted the explanations given by soludo ;


The removal of Arabic inscriptions on the new Naira notes to be introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), next week has been described as a subtle declaration of war against Islam and Muslims in the country.

The director, Muslims Rights Concern (MURIC), Dr. Lakin Akintola, made this known in an exclusive interview with Saturday Independent during the week.

He said that there was no reason for the apex bank to remove the Arabic inscriptions as majority of Muslims in the country are in tune with the wordings.

"Why would the Central Bank remove the inscriptions? To me it is a direct attack on the Muslim community in the country and a manifestation of ignorance on the part of those at the helm of affairs at the CBN.

"While Arabic is a language well understood by majority of Nigerians and well spoken by an ethnic group, English is also well understood by majority of Christians. So why would they remove the Arabic inscriptions? It is as if they are waging a war against Islam and Muslims",he said.

Akintola, a university don, said that the inscriptions were meant for a particular set of people and should have been retained on the new notes if the interest of those people were considered strong enough.

But when reminded that the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, who is also the traditional head of Muslims in the country had accepted the explanation offered by the CBN Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, on why the inscriptions had to be removed, Akintola said the Sultan was not an Islamic scholar.

"The Sultan was a military man, a general in the Nigeria Army, he is not an Islamic scholar and that is why we have been saying that his traditional position should be separated from the religious one. He cannot be overall head of Muslims in this country. The earlier that is corrected, the better. He is a traditional ruler in Sokoto State and should remain so. It is like asking a butcher to come and perform a surgical operation.

"Despite the fact that the two of them will hold a knife, they are not in the same category. Or when you ask a Carpenter to fly a plane, you will know that you are courting disaster", Akintola said.

The CBN will on February 28 introduce new naira notes in the denomination of N5, N10, N20 and N50.

Coins of One Naira, Two Naira and Five Naira will also be introduced.

But the new naira notes will not carry Arabic inscriptions as the old notes.

To properly carry Muslims along, Soludo paid a courtesy visit to the Sultan to explain the rationale behind the decision to remove the inscriptions.

The ban on tokunbo tyres and the closure of michellin factory has made Dunlop somewhat of a monopoly and expanded their market. Thus their prospects are better.

i bought dunlop cos of the above reason and though the price is on the downward for now,am sure that it will go up with time .

mahmood:
let all this people learn how to speach in public when it come to abuzing the muslim

Tell that to ur Muslim leaders who have insulted non- Muslims by their stupid comments about the new notes

yeah thats quite possible ,infact i know someone that got them to send him $100 as a prove that they are genuine;overtaking overtaking oveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrtake

Oga Frank ,thank you for the way you have been helping us here ,now i have me some questions too .
1, prior to buying shares for me ,my broker had registered me with the CSCS and gave me the registration number and the account number ,but after buying the shares ,i wanted to log into my cscs account so i could monitor the stocks there ,but my broker told me that i would be able to do this in about a month time , so do you think this is ok or should i be concerned ? should i as an individual investor be able to log into my cscs account at anytime i want or should this be done by my broker only ?
2 , my broker "bought " shares for me more than the amount i deposited with them ,when i got the statement i asked why and was told that they did that cos the shares (first bank ) is scarce ,so i asked what if i don't have the money to pay for it,what will happen ,she said that in that case they would sell it when the price go up and take their money back,i don t really like this cos i don't understand how shares that i didn't pay for should be bought in my name, is this normal ? is it legal ? should i be concerned ?
3,now that i have scsc account number ,if i buy IPOs ,and asked that it be credited to my cscs account ,how long would this be done ,i ask this so i should know which is faster between crediting my cscs account and waiting for the certificate to get to me if i had chosen to receive the physical certificate .
4,what is the average transaction days from the day that i ask my broker to sell my shares and the time the money would hit my bank account ?

u might be right on that ,me i really like taking this people on ,i remember raising the expectation of one of them for over almost 30 days and when we got to bthe time i should transfer money to him ,i crashed his world of scam on him ,he cursed me with all the course that he knows in his life .

what still amazes me is why anyone would fall for this kind of childish tricks ,i always know where they were going b4 they even got there

am not bordered at all about this ,the worst this hopeless idiots would do is to start another riot,but am sure they would think twice b4 taking such action ,thanks to what happened to them in onitsha

needeeg:
And so after 40 years of adorning the Arabic inscription, our national currencies are now rid of it to the apparent satisfaction of those who have harboured an obsessive dislike of anything with a link to Islam or the North. Prominent among them must be our one and only Nobel Literature laureate, Wole Soyinka.



In his first press conference on October 16, 1998 after returning from self-exile during General Sani Abacha’s tenure, our Nobel laureate, obviously blinded by his hatred of Abacha and everything he thought the general represented, unleashed what was arguably his bitterest diatribe on the North and Islam, its predominant religion. The kernel of his long speech was that the North was the problem with Nigeria. Among it’s crimes were that the region had imposed Arabic and its coat-of-arms on the country’s currencies.



“Yes,” said Soyinka at that press conference,



“take a fifty Naira note and look closely at the design… A symbol that has been cunningly split into two tells a not so innocent story when the note is folded over in a way that makes the two edges meet. Then we see the two halves of symbol merge into one. That symbol is the coat-of-arms of Arewa House, the bastion of Northern identity.”



Soyinka went on to argue that this was a “diabolical orchestration of subliminal indoctrination…” Then in a rhetorical flourish he asked “Is it incidental that the other language on our national currency is Arabic?”



The amazing and surprising thing about the lecture, however, was not its hatred for the North and its predominant religion. Anyone who has read his obtuse The Man Died would not have been surprised or amazed by Soyinka’s vitriol. The surprising and amazing thing was that as a scholar, he could so easily mistake the Arabic alphabets on our currencies for the language itself. Equally surprising and amazing was the mental contortions he was prepared to take his listeners through to prove how the North surreptitiously inserted its coat-of-arms in our currencies.



Now that President Olusegun Obasanjo and his governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria have granted Soyinka’s eight-year wish, one would to justified to suspect both the country’s and its Central Bank’s leadership of all along harbouring the same prejudices against Islam and the North as our literary giant.



During a recent visit to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, a visit which was clearly meant to anticipate and assuage Muslim and Northern hurt and anger over the removal of the Arabic alphabet, the CBN governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, said this was done to promote Nigeria’s unity and culture!



“I will,” he said, according to Thisday of February 16,



“like to inform you that the removal of the Arabic inscription on the notes is not targeted at any group or religion, but rather, to promote our language and cultural heritage. As you can see, Naira is the symbol of our nationalism and our pride. It is pertinent for you to understand that Arabic is not one of our national languages and it was inscribed on the notes 40 years ago because the majority of people then can read it in the Northern part of the country at the detriment of their counterparts in the South…. So we want journalists to assist in enlightening the public on the new notes and reforms going on, especially removal of the Arabic letters in the currency which is done to promote national unity.”



Soludo was subsequently re-echoed by my good friends Drs. Obadiah Mailafia and Shamsudeen Usman, both of them deputy-governors of the CBN. First, Mailafia told journalists a couple of weeks ago in Jos that the Arabic inscription was removed because it had outlived its usefulness as those it was meant to serve have since become literate in Roman alphabets. Then his colleague, Usman, told the BBC Hausa Service on Thursday that those who felt that the inscription was removed because Arabic was the primary language of Islam were wrong since the wordings themselves were in Hausa and not all Nigerian Muslims were literate in Hausa. In other words the inscription was discriminatory even within the Muslim community.



President Obasanjo finally weighed in with an uncharacteristically subtle dig at those who would object to the removal of the inscription. “I personally admire the polymersubtrate material used for the notes and THE TRANSLATIONS WHICH MAKE THEM TRULY NIGERIAN,” he said during his formal launching of the notes on February 28, (Emphasis mine). The insinuation was obvious; Arabic, but presumably not English, is alien to Nigeria.



Most people will, I am sure, agree with the president that the looks of the new notes is something to be proud of. The quality of the material used in printing the notes, their smaller and more convenient size, the little map of Nigeria in the nation’s colours and the security features make them by far superior to the old notes.



The most innovative feature, however, was the translation of the values of the notes in the country’s three main local languages. This was an innovation no rational person will quarrel with. The most reasonable argument one could make against the Arabic inscription was that it discriminated against non-Hausa readers. As one, I.D. Kris, who reacted to my last article on the subject said in an email he sent to me on August 16, 2006, “If the inscription is written for Hausa readership, which is the one written for Yoruba, Ijaw, Igbo readership? How do you define selfishness?”



Reasonable as Kris was, I am sure he will agree with me that the discrimination argument can only go so far. Now that the currencies carry Nigeria’s other two major languages besides Hausa, all the other languages, especially the big minority ones like Ijaw, Tiv. Kanuri and Nupe, can complain of being discriminated against. But obviously the notes cannot carry all of Nigeria’s languages which number more than 500 according to some estimates.



The point is whatever decision one takes, one group or the other is bound to be discriminated against. The overriding consideration therefore should be what is practical within a tolerable degree of discrimination. I would have thought that including Igbo and Yoruba on the notes was a reasonable compromise between Nigerians who wanted the Arabic inscription retained and those who did not.



However, from virtually all the reasons that those who have spoken against the Arabic inscription have given, it is clear that their objections were based basically on blind prejudice against anything with even the remotest link to Islam.



Arabic of course has more than a tenuous link with Islam; it is the original language of Qur’an, its holy book. But today the language is no more synonymous with Islam than English, or for that matter, Latin, is synonymous with Christianity. I am a Muslim and I can read my Qur’an in Arabic but like the majority of Muslims in Nigeria and in the rest of the world, I do not speak the language. By the same token there are millions of Christian Arabs today who read their Bible in Arabic because they do not speak or understand English.



So even though Arabic is linked to Islam, it does not symbolize the religion like, say, the Crescent which is the equivalent of the Cross for Christianity.



I am surprised therefore that Soludo, the CBN governor who should know better as a scholar would peddle the prejudice that Arabic is alien to Nigerian culture. First, like Soyinka Soludo mistook the alphabet for the language itself. Second, if Soludo had any sense of history he would know that the Arabic alphabet arrived in Nigeria at least a century before the Latin alphabet in which English is written.



Those alphabets had defined the lives of millions of Nigerians long before the Whiteman came to our shores. And given the ubiquity of the almajirci system of Islamic education in the North, at least twice as many more people in the region understand the alphabet than those who are literate in Latin alphabet.



As a Muslim and as a journalist I felt Soludo insulted my intelligence when he told the Sultan of Sokoto that the Arabic inscription was removed in order to promote Nigeria’s culture and national unity. How, for heaven’s sake, does the presence of Arabic alphabets, which are no more symbolic of Islam than Latin alphabets are symbolic of Christianity, promote disunity? How, if one may also ask, is the Latin alphabet any more indigenous to Nigeria than its Arabic counterpart? Surely pandering to blind prejudice cannot be a sensible way to promote Nigeria’s culture and unity.



Unpalatable to some as it may be the truth is that the Arabic alphabet is, at least, as much part of Nigeria’s history and culture as the Latin alphabet. At any rate commonsense alone dictates that we should be promoting the language itself not trying to banish it. At least half of Nigeria’s population, which is Muslim, has a symbolic attachment to its alphabets just like our Christian brethrens have a symbolic attachment to the Latin alphabet. On the international scene, Nigeria is a key member of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) whose majority member-states are Arab. The language is also among the official languages of the African Union and the United Nations.



In any case the more multi-lingual in the world’s major languages the citizens of a country are in a world that has become a global village the better for that country. Today Arabic is one of the world’s most important languages. With 175,000,000 native speakers, according to a 2005 book, The Shite History of Nearly Everything, it is the sixth largest language in the world after Chinese with over a billion, English with around 350 million, Spanish with about 330 million, the Bengali with nearly 190 million and the Hindi/Urdu with 182 million. Why then a country would like to ignore a language of such global importance in the history, politics and economics of the world, not to mention its significance for at least half of its citizens, truly beggars belief.



Not too long ago the CBN mistakenly captioned the portrait of the famous Zuma Rock on our 100 Naira note as located in the Federal Capital Territory. The Niger State Government petitioned the federal authorities on this annexation of its landmark. It was corrected in subsequent printings of the note.



Unlike the annexation of Niger State’s Zuma Rock the removal of the Arabic was not in error. It was a decision clearly informed by prejudice. This is all the more reason why it should be corrected.

BIGGEST CRAP

can't u get two days off from your current job and use it for the interview ?

LadyT:
This is Nigeria not Saudi Arabia!

The notes should not and will not have Arabic inscriptions. I wish these types of Muslims in Nigeria would find real issues to be upset about.

I just hope they don't go mad and start carrying machetes and killing people as they also do when they have a tantrum.

daprince , here in india i have been involved with Indians and westerners who always want to paint every Nigerian as being some kind of fraudsters and have on several ocassion made them eat their words,what u need to do is to be well informed ,u need to know the positive things about Nigeria and stick to them when u are in the mist of this kind of people .
tell them about the achievement of people like professor emeagwa,who Clinton called the father of the internet ,tell them about chinua achebe,wole soyinka ,ask them if we are as bad they want the rest of the world to beleive then why do we have hundreds of western companies still doing business in nigeria ,there are nigerians that have big post in the us government and same goes with the english ,if we are all bad why would those Nigerians maintain those posts,ask them why do they have 2 million Americans in prisons in the united states ,that is more than any other country ,yet they tell u that Nigeria is the worst country on earth .
as for the Indians ,i only count on my fingers three well known criminals of Indian origin and they would just shut up their mouths ,cos this three alone have commited more crime than the entire Nigerian criminals .
my brother wherever u are ,keep ur head high no matter what ,this is the most effective way they would change their narrow minded views about us ,when u speak with the conviction of what u believe ,people would surely listen .
