Repent, sinner! The blood of Jesus avarice of GEJ wipes away all sins! Come and be made whole.

Stormfront is a surprisingly entertaining site to go to

I don't even get mad at the stuff I read there, it just cracks me up.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=599594.msg7675178#msg7675178 date=1296955539]You don't know poo about me.  As I stated if it doesn't pertain to you, don't catch feelings. 


LOL@like my husband being the only NIGERIAN I know.  Okay.  (chuckles at the dumbness)[/quote]This ain't got nothing to do with feelings. You don't know sh1t about Nigerian dudes. Stop generalizing and pretending as if you know what you are talking about. You clearly do not.

If you DO want to start generalizing, we can do that. There are plenty of generalizations I can make about you and people like you. Hope you won't "catch feelings" if I do.

By the way, I don't do random bleeps.  That your expertise. 

If you say so. Personally I don't give a damn what you think. . . if it makes you happy to believe that, so be it.

I just added a poll.

I was born in the US so some of my views are more liberal than the average Nigerian. I don't go to church either. This guy is asking too much of me in my opinion. I don't just believe in things because I want to, because I want to be different, or because other people are. I have and uphold my values because I've experienced some thing or some things; there is always reason behind it. I feel that what he's asking me to do is change my way of life to appease him and his parents. Quite frankly, I can't live a life like that.

I know some people are willing to change, either a little or a lot. If I have a flaw, then I'll say I have a flaw. Like someone said earlier, no one is perfect. If he was asking me to lose weight or cut my hair, then fine, that's physical and a discussion can follow lol. He has his beliefs and ideas. What he believes in doesn't bother me. Every day though, he's at me about my beliefs and values. I'm getting annoyed is all. I'm not copping out, trust me. I can look myself in the mirror and say I was wrong and correct a situation, but to change who I am in terms of mind and thought is unrealistic.

So in short, he wants you to go to church and do religious things X, Y and Z? Maybe abstain from A, B and C?

I still think life is about give and take. Trust me, you are going to end up making him do some boring @ss sh1t he doesn't want to do. But he'll end up doing w/o much complaining.

Basically, you'll end up changing a bit, but he will too. So long as everything is fair and even-handed, no wahala.

How many votes must one deliver to GEJ to wipe away murder?

We need a price list.

Information on how much various criminals in Nigeria are paying to GEJ (in the coin of votes) would also be useful  

You've got to change to some extent if you want a successful relationship. I dunno. I feel "accept me for me" is a bit of a copout.

Change isn't bad, if it leads to becoming a better person.

How again do you know this about "Nigerian men"? You sure seem to know a lot about 'em, despite the only real connection you have to any of them being your husband. . .

xxcarolxx:
Are you referring to yourself? As your profile says your male and your 25, Don't get why peeps if they are male pretend they are female or vice a versa,

Err. . .

And this is why women have to be very selective about who they deal with.

If your wife is lazy, not going to ruin your life.

But a woman with a lazy husband likely will have a crappy life.

Anyway, at the OP. . . that is just the way the world is. Women have to be more selective about romance than guys. Consequences for not being selective as a woman are far harsher than they are for a guy.

This marvix fella doesn't know how to read. If you read the article and all you got out of it was "scared of promotion". . .

I hope that this evil plot of GEJ to subvert the separation of powers enshrined in the constitution and destroy Nigeria's democracy fails.

Most interesting thing about the UK to me is that they have this big, powerful multinational (Shell), and their country doesn't even produce much oil.

Kinda impressive.

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=599653.msg7673910#msg7673910 date=1296936740]I dont know why people want to claim this mahinmi by all means. There are many other groups in benin republic besides yoruba, and becomerich shouting everyday does not change that fact. The name can sound yoruba but that doesnt mean its  yoruba. Tall people don finish for nigeria ni? Until the man himself comes out to explain his ethnicity, abeg let him rest.  My post has nothing to do with afam4ever btw.[/quote]Anything (or anyone) that is good, I will claim on the behalf of my people. Especially if there appears to be a connection. It is what it is.

What is their economy based upon?

Primarily London and international finance/banking, right? They don't manufacture or build anything of note, do they?

Perhaps some UK nationals can shed some more insight on what their country's economy is based on (I'm too lazy to Wikipedia it right now. . . )

Kinda nuts. I was talking with my buddy last night over dinner about Islamic Banking.

He has a cousin in Singapore who is some sort of banker and sells Islamic banking financial products.

Long story short, there is no real difference between it and Western-style banking. . . the effect/impact on the borrower is pretty much the same.

Here is an example, courtesy Wikipedia:

In an Islamic mortgage transaction, instead of loaning the buyer money to purchase the item, a bank might buy the item itself from the seller, and re-sell it to the buyer at a profit, while allowing the buyer to pay the bank in installments. However, the bank's profit cannot be made explicit and therefore there are no additional penalties for late payment. In order to protect itself against default, the bank asks for strict collateral. The goods or land is registered to the name of the buyer from the start of the transaction. This arrangement is called Murabaha. Another approach is EIjara wa EIqtina, which is similar to real estate leasing. Islamic banks handle loans for vehicles in a similar way (selling the vehicle at a higher-than-market price to the debtor and then retaining ownership of the vehicle until the loan is paid).

So no real practical difference. Just slightly different (and more awkward, imo) customs to make people feel as if they are getting an interest-free loan.

Anyway, let's not tie this up with Islamification, Jihadism, etc. It is really just a gimmick to make it appear that you are getting something (a loan) for nothing (no interest).

I don't think unification is strictly necessary, Becomerich. The main thing is to leave Nigeria, or at the very least have true federalism.

I think once that occurs, naturally the Western border will become more open. Especially if we run Yorubaland properly and ensure that it becomes one of the fastest growing nations in Africa (by fastest growing, I mean in a GDP/capita sense.)

Who would not want to unite with such a well-run country?

As poorly managed as Nigeria is, this will not be very hard to do, in my opinion.

Bakare is pretty good. I'm impressed.

ChinenyeN:
Some are here trying to argue how they think it should be, when the reality of the situation is that this indigene vs settler thing is a very real phenomenon, and one that will not be dissipating anytime soon, no matter the 'constitution' in Nigeria. We all know this. So, just be realistic about all this, and stop trying to sound "progressive". It's irritating.

+1

Maybe this Becomerichn's Benin Republic idea isn't so bad.

Will need to investigate further.

That @ss has got to be photoshopped. No way it is real

The Oyo empire spread all over west Africa into Benin republic, Togo and parts of Ghana.

In Akan Ghanaian laguage welcome is Akwabba, In Yoruba its E-kabo

One day all of West Africa shall be our dominion. It is destiny. . .

Sir Musiwa,

Thanks for answering my question. Much appreciated.

Also, watch our boy in action:

We also have another boy 'round your way in Toronto, Solomon Alabi. Dude is a stiff though. Mahinmi is actually pretty athletic and getting playing time over Brendan Haywood 

Does Benin Republic have 24/7 electricity and high-speed internet access?

Nigerian Arabic is a variety of Arabic spoken in the farthest northeastern part of Nigeria in Borno State especially in Maidaguri where it is spoken by 10% of the population.

10% of. . . Maidugiri? And seems limited to NE Nigeria. In other words, where the Shuwa Arabs live. . . so probably most of that 10% is them.

Doesn't seem to be spoken by ordinary northerners elsewhere. . . ?

Jenifa_ is pretty good.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=599323.msg7670397#msg7670397 date=1296890952]There is quite an overwhelming amount of arabic speakers in the north also school that teach it(quaranic schools).[/quote]Hrm, ok. Never really been to the north, so maybe you are right about a large # of speakers there.

I was under the impression that the koranic schools would be a bit useless for teaching the language. Just memorization of verses. That really isn't enough to learn the language well.

From my understanding, Hausa uses Arabic characters (Akanji/Akami or something script.) The same way Yoruba (and English) use Latin characters.

But I don't think this suggests any fluency in Latin in and of itself. If Buhari speaks Arabic fluently, I'd be a bit impressed. Just because Nigeria is not a country where it would be easy to become fluent in that language, given the lack of Arabic speakers.
