aminho: she is babur bura
Why do you say this? Is her last name Bura? I'm not saying I disbelieve you btw, just curious about your reasoning.

solbil: i wonder why asking about someones ethnicity makes som people feel like there is ethnocentrism and xenophobia in the air. Perhaps, these people have lost touch with african culture.

In africa, our being able to identify with our ethnic group, culture and family is a statement that we are not just anyone, but a true son of the soil. So when i ask you where you are from, i am not asking to know just how to treat you, but i just want to identify you down to your root.
Likely some combination of faux political correctness, lack of curiosity and general brainlessness.

I'll inquire about where Yoruba, Indian or white friends of mine are from, talk less of a Nigerian with a Ghanaian-sounding name
EducationRe: 21-Year-Old Nigerian Emerges UK's University Of Kent Most Outstanding Graduate by ektbear: 7:59am On Nov 08, 2012
Interesting, I've never heard of that ethnic group before.

I googled around a bit, saw some Adamawa connections, but didn't realize that she is from an ethnic group that exists in both states.

“But if they had started going after those who rig elections; those who carry ballot boxes to their houses, thump-print and start announcing fake results the next day, which is what most people are doing; if they go after such people, I will join them.
But even if Boko Haram only targeted (and by "target", I mean kill/assasinate. In other words, jungle justice) those who rig elections, this would still be illegal and unjust. After all, who determines who should be targeted?

Should the youth corper in Sokoto State who is forced to allow children to vote also be executed?

What happened to innocent before proven guilty sef undecided

I don't think that this guy really thought through what he was saying before he said it.

None of us in West Africa (or Europe, or Asia, etc) are really indigineous.

We are all migrants from somewhere, probably in East Africa, or wherever mankind first came into being grin

I guess it depends on what your cutoff is for declaring that a group is indigenous. 2000 years? 500?

[quote author=Kilode?!]It was. Mostly a blur now, I was too young. But I remember shopping at Kingsway with my parents.

I remember my Indian Science teachers ( at a public school o) and one or two Ghanaian ones too.

We can become a destination country again, but we have work to do, radical work. Gradualism won't get us there.[/quote]Tbh my parents have told me similar stories, about how Nigeria was nice up until the mid 1980s or so. I didn't really believe them though cheesy Especially visiting for the first time in 2000 and finding a country basically in ruins.

This third party account makes me believe a bit more.

I'm always curious about ethnicity.

I don't know if she is Kanuri, or from one of those other ethnic groups in Borno (or elsewhere in the north).

If you don't know the answer to the question and are not interested in such things, then kindly ignore my post...the post isn't for your consumption anyways.

Kindly quote me where I said this?

berem: this is neither a presidential election nor a multi ethnic election.it is simply based on tradition.
Whether presidential, multi ethnic, human, plant, whale or Martian election, I have never heard of someone being sacked from a job before even the appointed time for them to begin it.

I did not realize that this country was once so sweet.

Hopefully those great years (70s and early 80s) will one day return.

Living among lots of black people is a good way to become a racist lol cheesy
Foreign AffairsRe: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by ektbear: 8:10am On Nov 07, 2012
Barack Obama is a symbol for all black people trying to go forth and conquer in a white man's world.

As much as it is silly to vote for someone because of race...all I know is that this win made me especially happy.

Good job, dude.

ogugua88: Everyone knew that whomever won the democratic nomination would win the presidency. Sarah Palin couldn't form constructive sentences and John McCain was impulsive and confuse. It was never really close in 2008. As everything went to Obama fairly early lol. This election was different. Most of us came in thinking it was going to be extremely close, which it was for a while. The support for Obama seemed less this year, so there was reason to worry.
I didn't feel that way...I thought that the Bradley effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect) would kick in, causing him to lose.

I underestimated the basic decency of the American people.
Foreign AffairsRe: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by ektbear: 7:49am On Nov 07, 2012
ogugua88: It still hasn't hit me that he's been elected again. It's like 2008 all over again, only multiple times sweeter lol.
2008 was sweeter for me, because i didn't believe it possible for a black man to become president. Also, it was my very first time voting.
Foreign AffairsRe: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by ektbear: 7:44am On Nov 07, 2012
Toks2008: Obama won again because he has a role in the end time prophecy to lead America to world war 3 and of-course a forerunner to the antichrist.

The Governor's office will also be occupied by a woman.

Foreign AffairsRe: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by ektbear: 7:16am On Nov 07, 2012
On a serious note though...Republicans needs to restrategize.

Be less anti-woman, anti-minority. You cannot win elections with only the strength of white males.

Demographic trends will make their strategy even less successful in the future.
